Hi everyone: adelikat has added the following two features to the submissions list:
  • Ability to filter on accepted, rejected, or cancelled submissions. (The possibility of adding published submissions to this has been brought up.)
  • The number of submissions currently displayed now shows up at the head of the list.
Do you have any further ideas for the submissions list? Feel free to convey them here.

Separate the rejected list to two: "bad game choice" and "unoptimized gameplay". This way it is easy to find potentially good games that already have a run. Edit: For old runs, it would require manually checking the submissions, though.

I can agree with the sentiment, but I don't think this is the approach to take - submissions can be rejected for more than those reasons, and maintaining a list of submission statuses with a variety of rejection reasons would become hard to maintain very quickly. Somewhere else the idea of submission classes akin to movie classes was brought up, which I think would be more suited for this kind of sorting.

Perhaps the possibility to list by published status too, since all other statuses are supported (and that published submissions show up on the "all"-list).
My own page on this site.

I am working on a possible new version of the submissions listing, which presently has the ability to handle everything the current queue handles in addition to being able to specify more than one filter reliably. Here's a screenshot of what I have so far: http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd291/sgrunt/subs.png (don't worry - if this proves to be viable and useful it will appear in the site layout sooner or later rather than just a page by itself). I am showing you this because I would like to know what else you would like to see in terms of available options on the submissions page. (For that matter, sooner or later I may plan to do something similar with the movies list.) --- UPDATE: The new submissions list is live! Go check it out!
