I have some idea's about playthrough pages that i would like to share.

First of all the reduced size, i'm not a fan of it. This has already been mentioned by another user, but as this is the part of the site I spend 80% of my time and it now feels a bit tiny. I like the page as an overview page \ quick update page.

Perhaps you could create a detail page for playthrough where you have all info. Don't know if you keep track of it, but I would also like to see all my thoughts I had during that playthrough.

Perhaps also add some stats about the page like average hours and number of completions would be nice.

On a more positive side:I noticed that with the new layout I enter playtime a lot more often. It would be nice if I could also add a gameplay thought specific for that time entry.

I agree that the height should probably be increased a bit. I don't have as many goals as @merph518 had mentioned, but even on Heretic where I have 40, I find myself constantly having to collapse the groups to find the one I'm after quickly. I haven't had any issues with time entries so far, but I will say I keep wanting to click on the "Finish Playthrough" button to add a time entry, presumably because it's the most common action I take and it's the largest UI element. It's gotten better through repetition though.

To keep things simple, I would prefer to tweak the current UI, rather than having a separate / standalone UI for a single playthrough, but we can go down that road, if necessary. For now, I went ahead and pushed out an update that increases the height of each playthrough card by about 100px, which should hopefully help a bit.

I've also had some issues with game name wrapping for larger titles, such as "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game". That one in particular is exacerbated by the fact that it's for "Nintendo Entertainment System" haha! I know we tinkered with having the box art, game name, and platform as more of a "header" row on each card, but that might be something worth exploring again, especially with the additional whitespace I created by increasing the height. I like the idea of pulling in the average community completion times somehow, but it can get a little tricky due to completion "types", platform variations, etc. Another stat that might be neat would be a "duration", which would basically be how long you've been playing the game in actual days or something.

As for thoughts, I can definitely pull in thoughts you've posted about a particular game, but I don't think I actually tie them to individual playthroughs. So if you play the game multiple times, you would see thoughts across all playthroughs. For these, I think maybe having an icon on the Overview tab could pop open a modal or something where you could view your previous posts.

Another possible change that might help would be to collapse goal groups by default.

Thanks for the quick reply, and the increased height definitely helps!
I can see the challenge fitting a larger title below the box yea, a title header might help but then the box image would be a bit floaty. Moving it to the right would make it unbalanced I think. But you never know what tinkering might do.

and perhaps tying thoughts to a playthrough is something for a future feature, would love to see it. really would like the idea of some sort of play log.

About the group goals, don't they already collapse? At least that's what I see... on that thought, you might auto-scroll the list to the first goal not completed. Saves some scrolling :)
