Reporting errors in game listings

IFDB is similar to a Wiki, in that members can contribute to and edit most of the information on the site. This includes game listings. So if you spot an error in a game listing, there's no need to contact us. Instead, you can edit the listing and fix the error yourself. Likewise, if you discover that there's an IF game that's not yet in our database, you can add it. This is the best way to keep IFDB accurate and up-to-date, since it eliminates the inevitable delay of getting a site administrator involved in every change.

You can edit any game's listing by clicking the "Edit this page" link at the bottom of the game's main page. To add a game, click the "Add a new game listing" link on the IFDB home page.

Reporting technical problems

If you encounter any problems using the site (especially an error message saying something to the effect that "you should try again later or contact us if the problem persists," and especially if you did try again later and the problem did persist), please let us know what you were trying to do, in as much detail as you can. The most important thing is to tell us the step by step procedure that triggers the problem, since we have the best chance of fixing it if we can reproduce the problem ourselves. Budget constraints and a certain prima donna attitude among our senior staff force us to assign bug-fixing duties to our most junior technicians, whose thankless toil in the dark recesses of our underground laboratory complex leaves them so broken-spirited and bewildered that everything has to be spelled out to them in minute, tedious detail; so we ask for your understanding and cooperation in providing as complete a report as you can.
