Quoting: EikeTake a game box in the wish list, go all to the left, at the centre. The hamburger with the up and down arrows. You can drag and drop with it.
I don't have any hamburger with arrows (just "TOP" at the top left and the "rank order box" at the bottom left)... :'(

Nevermind, I will take another look at that later! :)
This is what it looks like here:

Quoting: tonRNot Chinese (Ethnic or National). But I'm live in significant majority Malaysian Chinese [External Link] housing area. But still, 39.5% of Malaysia is on Asia continent which means we're Asian right. :D
That's closer to China as anybody else from GoL seems to be...

Quoting: tonRAgain, I don't know much about China, but remember our comments about Malaysian/Asian gaming scene few months ago? The situation still unchanged except there is 5v5 version of Vainglory [External Link] which very hot stuff in my hometown.
Yes, I remember. So, not Western but Eastern guessing is PUBG, too.

Quoting: tonRp/s: BTW, my bloodline/ethnicity is super messy. Cannot tell exactly what the mixed is (privacy concern).
I once heard a quote from Lemmy from Motörhead that if all people where mixed up like this, this might end racism. (Well, being Lemmy, he said it a bit differently. ;) )

Quoting: riusmaWell... I don't find the "grabber"... :huh: (but clicking "TOP" I can put any game from my wishlist at its top)

Quoting: riusmaAbout "changing the number", I was using this method before this update so it is not new to me... but you're right that the functionality is not really that obvious to find (was more obvious before I think). :P
Ah! Never noticed...!

Quoting: riusmaHmmm... manual moving is no more a thing, but at least now you just have to change the rank number and it will be saved directly, before you had to manually save changes... It's not that bad even if "drag and drop" was a cool feature (but with more than 1000 games in my wishlist dragging items was less than optimal for classification ^^)... :)
Manual moving is still possible with the "grabber" at the left, but not practical for more then some five ranks I guess.
Probably for a very small or a very large number, the new method is better.
Was it obvious to you you could just change the number? I just tried it out of... despair.

Quoting: qptain NemoThere is no accounting for taste but I thought it looks alright. At least clear to read and informative. I'm always curious about users' grievances with particular UI decisions though.
It's not about the looks (for me), but about information and functionality.

The list used to have some ten items on a screen for me, now it's barely five. I've got 67 items on the list at the moment. So at a glance, it yields way less information (I care for) than before.

I got an item at the top which I wanted to have at the bottom (as we're now supposed to whish list Windows items as well, I'm putting those at the bottom and told my wife she could gift me one of the upper ones (She will not do any filtering. Won't happen.)). This used to be easy, waiting some seconds with the item "in hand" and the list scrolled below. This stopped working, the list is not scrolling anymore when I reach the edge of the screen.

The whish list is broken.

*edit* I found something not too obvious: There's a rank number at the lower left of every item - and you can just change it! The manual moving of items is still broken, though. And "scroll down, look where it should end up, scroll up, enter the number" is not an optimal UI either...

...hongbao na lai? ;-)

新年快乐!
Anybody of you is Chinese?

If so, could you share some enlightenment about the latest developments on Steam regarding the huge increase of Chinese users?
I'd really appreciate some input from China, more than Western guessing...

Quoting: Beamboom... and wow how much better the wishlist page has become! That's new today, isn't it? Great filtering!
I had tough times trying to push Kingdom Come Deliverance to the end (which used to be the default) where Windows games reside...

*edit* At least it has got an OS filter now, ok...

Quoting: GustyGhost- New studio
Everbody needs to start some time...

Quoting: GustyGhost- No history of previous Linux work
They're new, but didn't release anything for Linux before? Wow.

Quoting: GustyGhost- Developement through Windows [External Link]
In my humble opinion, Windows is a good platform for development.

Quoting: GustyGhost- Huge emphasis on dramatic trailers, visuals and art (ask me about "ARK syndrome"\)
*shrug*

Quoting: GustyGhost- Equates platform "Windows" to "PC"
*moreshrug*

Quoting: GustyGhostUnfortunately, boys, it looks like the chances of this releasing to Linux are extremely low.
Well, "Linux and Mac compatibility is not out of the question" is not much of a promise, so they're probably not high, yes.

Quoting: Guestdungheap....intresting...I have a dungheap in my house...odd, when I go there I hear someone eating in there...maybe someone likes things I throw in there like meat, cabbage, carrots etc. Or dungheap itself is alive. Whatever the case is, I won't go there after sun has gone down!:D
Maybe some special gases are coming out of it, too...?
