Hello, people.

I've been lurking here for the past 6 years since I found this site, keeping my DDR simfiles up to date when a new official simfile is updated when I can. But last year, I've been dealing with an issue that really shouldn't be an issue and that's only being able to see the top 20 most recently updated simfiles and besides Google Cache and The Wayback Machine (which doesn't guarantee the day you want to check back from), there's no way to see what's #21 and beyond.

Because of this, I've been maintaining an Excel sheet with a list of recently updated songs. When the website's list is different, I open the Excel file and check how many new simfiles were updated since the last time I checked it and add those changes to the ever-increasing list since I started keeping track on September 1, 2015. However, because of the aforementioned limit of only the top 20 most recent, this makes complete category updates and/or new category additions hard to track, not to mention times where I don't check the site in 2-3 weeks.

Click here to see an example of my simfile tracking. (Image is quite large at 1491x791.)

Recent example, when all of the songs from Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix updated 1.4 weeks ago (a total of 30 simfiles, 10 more than what the site shows me), I had to open the other 81 official categories to see what else was updated before Mario Mix. Granted, this only took me about 10 minutes but it was annoying I had to do that at all.

Yes, I'm aware you can subscribe to the categories (which I did a few hours before making this thread), but that has a limit of the 50 most recently updated. Sure, 30 more than before but you have to be logged in to do so (which requires an account so those who don't want an account here are SOL) and it isn't what I would like.

So, long story short, is it possible to add a page functionality to that list? If not, what about extending the limit to 100?

This! (sorry for the bump) but I did have the same problem today. I also mantain my simfiles up to date, but due lack of time due my studies, I couldn't keep progress this month and did notice today that there was a large amount of simfiles update. Could this feature be implemented?
Yep, still playing an arrow game...

Well, nice to finally know I'm not the only one with this problem.

And what a coincidence! I said this:

And I checked the latest official simfiles this early morning and since I last updated my Excel sheet with the previous latest update being POSSESSION, there's 21 updated simfiles.....1 banner update, 1 background update and the rest jacket updates. A light update, just simple image replacements to update my HD zipped storage. That's a relief.

While the view count for this thread is in the triple-digits, I don't think this is a mayor issue if no one responded after 8.4 months, much less the page itself updated with a page option.

So, unless one of the site managers (is that the correct term?) updates the page, this won't happen anytime soon.

BTW, Yamil, since there's 21 simfile updates, here's the one that was bumped out of view (thanks to me subscribing to every official simfile) as of 11 minutes ago:

PARANOiA MAX~DIRTY MIX~in roulette(X-Special) in DanceDanceRevolution X (AC) (Japan) has been updated 5.4 days ago.

That is a surprising list that you have made hahaha. I have been thinking that I have OCD, but you have won that statement XD.

I have multiple Excel sheets and WordPad documents to keep track of stuff from websites that don't even bother to archive changes in detail, or when those changes happen and the site notifies no one, or for any other reason. I even have a combo of Excel sheet/WordPad document for my favorite stories on FanFiction.net! Very Happy

I'm not diagnosed with OCD. I actually have ADHD and the medication I take for it (when I need to use it) I guess makes me behave like someone who has OCD.

BTW, the Excel sheet count for updated simfiles on this site is now 225.

Ermahgerd! So much this!

There must be a gazillion simfiles here that are going unfound because nobody can browse them!
