Hello!

I figured I would post some of my thoughts I've had recently about the site. Nothing here is to criticize the site. The site is great.

On the Collection Breakdown page, the graph for the Genre Breakdown seems a little cramped when you have a lot of genres. The genres all listed at the bottom are all clumped together and you cannot read them.

I don't know what it would look like, but have you had any interest in a redesign of the My Collection page? One thing I thought about recently was the way completions or finished games are displayed. I think the little flag all on the way on the right to display the status is just not prominent enough. The site is about completing games, there should be a bigger way to display which games in your collection have been completed. Not sure if this means making the flag bigger or moving it's location, or coming up with something new.

Amiibo's, Disney Infinity and Skylanders. I own figures for the first two, but I don't add them on here because I believe currently they count towards your game collection on the My Collection page? Is there a way we can break this down differently and remove them from the overall game collection total as they are not really games. I would definitely add my figures on here.

With that, have you thought of adding Hardware as part of the site? Being able to add consoles, controllers, etc? Again separate from the game total number.

Well those are my thoughts. Again, love the site but wanted to provided some feedback/input. Do what you will with them :)

Regarding the collection page status icons: The main reason the little flags were chosen was that they could be used in both the compact and the expanded views with little fuss when transitioning between the two. That said, we can explore modifying it slightly to make things more obvious, but in a way that won't make everyone's eyes bleed. :P

@dhobo - Makes sense. I just think it could use something more than the little flag. What that is I'm not sure. Icons? Text? Maybe moving the flags more to the left somewhere?
