Where the *#$% are my games

Add to profile and Remove from profile is the most terrifying way to organize stuff. Wanna move something to the front? Gotta remove every place, add it, then readd the places. Why isn’t there just a drag and drop for ordering places? I swear there used to be years ago.

Also this is subject to caching. I’ve heard of cases where it took over an hour to update. (no idea how)

It should be doing this if you haven’t touched the add/remove to profile buttons when this update was introduced, so you probably touched these in the past without realising what they did.

Actually I think ROBLOX tried to automatically add all games to their owners’ profiles but it didn’t work out exactly, because I doubt Shedletsky or the other people having problems with this accidentally clicked “Add to profile” on that many games.

I’m sure I would have noticed a few months ago if the creations tab wasn’t mostly useless being that it’s hidden by default.

Is it something to do with the amount of places that you have? I personally never had an issue with this so far.

Same – I only had ~5 active places when the update went out. It might indeed have something to do with #active places

Is this feature out of beta yet? I’ve had a rather interesting conversation with a random person on twitter and he was able to add/remove games from his profile as well. Maybe only people with beta access can do this?

The creation page, in general, needs to be revamped.

We need to be able to Move games showing position around (Click And Drag) the old profiles had that feature.

I don’t see why I need to remove every single one of my games and put them up in reverse order for them to show in the order I want.

Develop page is due for an update – all of the “old” pages on the site are getting overhauled.

COUGH

We’ve all stopped complaining about it because they’ve made it extra clear that they aren’t going to change it, our opinions don’t matter in this issue

muh unified aesthetic
muh google play store

I don’t like for these issues to be left for extensions to fix, because:

  1. The other 99.99% of ROBLOX users are still stuck with the broken/undesirable version of the page
  2. I generally won’t trust third parties with my ROBLOX data, and a third party extension shouldn’t be necessary to fix stuff like this anyway

ROBLOX needs to get this stuff straightened out.

The OP had the “will_fix” tag added to it, so it looks like they will

Add to profile also isn’t working for me, however long I give it.

Sounds like a bug. We will triage and fix asap. The button not being fully visible is rather not ideal, there are updates we originally planned that we can follow up with for that. As for the all the games should show up, here is my design question

  • If as a user, I create a new place, should it sit on top of my list in my profile page arbitrarily? Is the loop of just going to my profile and deleting the top spot every time I create a place a good process?

or

  • Every single game is added to your profile manually as chosen by you, better?

Let’s discuss. The overall way on how you add it to your profile might be the issue here.

I feel like every new game that is created should be added automatically. From there, we could use a drag and drop system to organize and (de)activate the places as we wish on the preferably redesigned Develop page.

Since we’re already on the topic, why is this green:

Please note that this is counter to user expectations in the traditional way. I don’t expect an indirect action to cause stuff that i have carefully configured to shift. This is not the typical way things should work. There are always exceptions. Are you saying it’s an exception?

The button not working is a huge bug and has been reported and we will triage and fix.

[EDIT] The button seems to have a delay. I will measure and try to figure out why it’s slow tomorrow.

I prefer places to not be added to my profile unless I explicitly add them manually. Places I’ve just created aren’t playable – why should it be displayed on my profile? I also imagine it’d be especially annoying for people with OBC where 100 place creations later and oops they’re all on your profile and you get to have a fun time removing all but a handful of them. Manually adding places to the profile once they’re ready to be shown to the world, and never before, is good behavior.

I think the problem is that it’s not apparent enough why some places aren’t showing up on your profile, and that it’s not apparent how you can change that with Add/Remove to Profile. It’s not just a problem for those of us used to the old behavior either – new users won’t have a clue why no one else can see their places as well.
