Big changes are here.

My Account is the heart of your GOG.com experience. It's the one place that's 100% yours, and the place you always go to download your games and manage the entire library.
Starting today, your My Account is completely new - remade and redesigned from scratch to better support our growing library of games and many of your biggest requests. Aside from every usability fix we could think of, we've also introduced brand new tools to keep your library organised, and new social features to stay in touch with your friends.

The list of new features is long, but you can see the whole thing on our forums. The most important highlights include:

--Support for friends lists and chat.
--Shared wishlists.
--Advanced filtering and custom tags for your library.
--A new, detailed order history.
--Accessible game changelogs.

We're sure that these new changes will greatly improve your overall user experience on GOG.com, and we can't wait to hear what you think on the wishlist and right here in the comments!

Okay, ever since yesterday or so, when you add a brand new title that was just released out by GOG (news post and all) within less than an hour to your wishlist, it doesn't appear on the thing till 1-2 hours later at least. Is this a bug that needs to be worked on? Or is this a new "feature" where new entries take time to propagate to places on the website like on one's wishlist?

I just added a game to mine and it showed up just fine. But I have Armello and Worlds of Magic wishlisted (since the old wishlist) and they do not show, even though they're correctly labelled on their respective game pages.

A small edit to my post #1022 regarding forum replies notifications:
Interestingly, today I’m not getting any forum notifications either, unless I open my chat page, then refresh the forum page. So I also have to regularly check the forum pages to spot that little gear I mentioned earlier, or open one of my account pages just to make sure I won't miss them.
Since yesterday, not even the trick of visiting a new account page works, forum replies notifications just don't show in the account tab, so hunting down the little gear is a must.



And one more bump for the list of wishlist entries regarding the recent changes to the account system:

* Games Collection *

Manual sorting

Keep or bring back manual sorting

Bring back game boxes in the game shelf

Bring back wood bookshelf library

Add an option to display all owned games on a single page in the user account


* Chat *

Necessary improvements and changes to make the current Chat system usable and user-friendly

Chat: Make sending a message with Enter configurable

Restore the old PM system

I can't tell who I am messaging when I'm messaging a new person, the rectangle with the username is just baaaaarely lighter than the rest of the gray. It's very unsettling.

Where do you see this address? On the site or on Galaxy? Because when I go to my chat page on the site, I can switch between contacts, and the only address I see is https://www.gog.com/account/chat.

What if it magically switches between users? How would I know? I can send anyone a message regardless of the username in the URL, and the website's interface doesn't reflect it in the slightest. Here's me trying to message HypersomniacLive, right after I clicked "start conversation". His username isn't even visible! Holy shit!

its when you pm from hovering over the avatar on a post - should have mentioned that.

Cheers to both of you for the clarification.

From your screenshot, it;s quite possible that you'd be messaging the person at the very top of your contacts list.

And FWIW - you were added to my contacts list even though you didn't send a message (I assume you didn't, otherwise the chat system is borked); this behaviour, first mentioned in my post #807 (point 2.7) on May 14, 2015, still continues.
But at least I can now have the game cards of my collection floating over a glass looking ledge.

Addendum to my posts and [url=https://www.gog.com/forum/general/a_new_my_account_d5f25/post1008]#1008:

No, don't get all excited, nth was fixed. On the contrary, today I discovered that I now miss one of my contacts that survived the initial transition without casualties.

So, instead of fixing the mess that the imported contacts+messages is, two (2) weeks after the initial importing process started GOG causes more issues.

Very professional, thanks GOG, very impressed and much obliged.

While GOG apparently decided that they're all done with the chat system and importing contacts and messages from the PM system, things are getting worse with every passing day.

My missing contacts/ messages have climbed to over 40 since May 15, 2015, and I'm most definitely [url=https://www.gog.com/forum/general/my_account_big_changes_on_the_horizon/post719]the [url=http://the]one. Note, these are just some examples of people that made it known on the forum.

As if this is was not enough, [url=https://www.gog.com/forum/general/gogs_general_trading_thread/post6486]can't even start conversations. And this also includes people that one was in private communication with when we had the PM system.

Yet, support says webdevs may not have time to address any of these issues, issues we wouldn't be having if GOG hadn't scrapped the PM system in favour of this chat one.

It would be nice if I didn't have to remove my last purchase from my cart every time I go to My Library.
Has anybody else had this glitch?

It's a known bug plaguing us for days now. Try removing it from the front page, and if that doesn't work, try clearing your cookies.And if that doesn't work, cross your digests that GOG will fix it soon™.

Thanks; also looks like the perfect time to save my money and have less annoyances in my life.

Side note: Thanks HypersomniacLive, I have had a good time reading your feedback posts in this thread.

I woudnt count on it being done soon.
Alot of stuff with gog takes a really long time.
website out of beta? = yes a long time before it happened.
Galaxy out of alpha?= yes a long time before it happened.
Try to clean up the wishlist a little = yes a long time before it happened.
Even some games have sometimes taken alot of time before it appeared here.

Basicly if you hang around here enough you better learn a big portion of patience because nothing happens soon around here.
