Gambler: By the way, I just accidentally clicked on -1 for one of the posts here (laptop touchpad, damn it). Sorry, didn't mean it. Disappearing buttons might not be such a good idea if the actions they invoke is not reversible.

Absolutely. I don't understand at all why such decisions have to be absolute. Why can't I just reverse all votes I gave? Just look at how stackoverflow.com does it. You can reject your vote anytime. Why not?

I guess that was weclock's post on page 2. Gave it a +1 to even the score.

This is one of the small improvements that will be introduced with the GOG.com Update 1. I'm preparing the final changelist now and I'll try to post it later this week. Also, as the team is back from the Holidays, expect the update very soon! :)

Looks good. Don't expect to be done with it after Update 1, but this will definitely improve things. Also,it looks like the gfx guys worked overtime as well, and they too did an outstanding job.

Hehe, I think you, of all people, should be the last to complain Wec. You must still have, by far, the highest rep on the board. ;-)

Fantastic! The drag'n'drop is a nice touch, but I'd also love to see a "Sort by title" / "Sort by year" button...

Love the update!
I really appreciate the changes to "my account," it needed the help.
Thanks for all of your hardwork GOG team.
