If you're on Windows, the scrollwheel works just fine when hovering the taglist, also much faster than dragging the scrollbar.
it still scrolling, potentially through whole list
if i need to grab "virgin" for example - instead of scrolling down to bottom, i could just type "vi", auto-filter to two choices and click one needed

Still better than trying to hit that little scrollbar in absence of type-ahead. Even less scrolling when freewheeling. Just one quick flick and it's at the bottom.
But I agree, type-ahead would be nice to have here.

actually, i just saw the font flicker to comic sans for a split second right in front of me...
LOL, just saw that happen here too.

Hahaha, just saw that flicker as well :))) Oh and 1603 show no notifications, but as i read is already known due new method and dependencies?

Oh and the new preload, works perfect at least on my PC.. with a GT 1030 lmao.

Testing it as we speak, will edit this message once a refresh happens.

Well, took me a while to be able to edit this message.

But there are 2 things that I can report. First being the error when you start Checker, is gone so yay. Second being that desktop notifications still don't work.
Was the f95checker window focused when it happened? Notifications aren't sent when focused

Nope, running in background in taskbar. When I opened the app from notification area, I had a game update, but no notification for it.
Were you playing some video games or had an app full screened (not maximized, but full screen)?

Nope, just watching youtube and not in full screen mode. Oh and Do not Disturb is off as well. So no full screen apps running, checker in background, running normally, DnD disabled, but no notification appears.

How often are games checked nowadays after they show up in latest updates?
Sisterly lust, Matrix hearts, Lust theory have had ancient update dates for quite a while since their recent updates.

the update was not "promoted" to latest updates. im tired of explaining why it is like this, and why there is no good solution.

If it was not promoted then why did the checker notify me about the latest update on SL?
I guess the latest updates DB is even more wack if Lust theory is shown as having the latest update in 2018.
Likely because the version number changed.

the stuff on latest updates is based on a redis cache, which is a lot faster and lighter than going through the xenforo backend. when uploaders update a thread and the version number changes, it gets updated in the redis db that latest updates uses. this however, does not automatically trigger a "promotion". a promotion is triggered manually by uploaders, marking the date that the update happened, and this pushes it to the top of latest updates (or not, if they manually mark a date in the past, which they often do if the update was a few days ago, in which case its not at the top but higher than it was before). they dont always do this, either because the game author is abusing the system publishing tiny updates every day to stay at the top of latest updates, or by simple human error by the uploaders forgetting or typoing the date of promotion. the same way that human error couldve occurred with the old method of parsing the update date from the thread description, in which case uploaders could typo it, forget to update it, or use the wrong date format, or put a date 20 years in the future (yes, this did happen). and making the cache api record its own "update date" of when it noticed a change of version number is error prone too, because despite how many users use f95checker, even all of them combined do not track all games, and do not track them 24/7, so if a game gets an update on monday but no one that uses f95checker refreshes that game until sunday, then the new version is picked up on sunday and the updated date is wrong (or it could be several months inbetween instead of just monday to sunday, which would be more of a problem). there is no good way to solve this correctly. and so we must bear with human error. i suggest you sort your list according to the finished and installed checkboxes instead of just by the updated date, then the only risk is your human error. something like this:

Still, i thought that every 2 weeks the cache gets updated, so funky release dates would be fixed eventually. But it seems that your caching server only interacts with latest updates, and doesn't crawl the first forum posts periodically?

my cache is not outdated. threads get rechecked atleast once a week, or sooner if some change is detected with the latest updates api or version api (based on the same latest updates data). the issue is that the data in latest updates is wrong, because the update was not promoted, and thus it has a older date.

Cant the date from the first post be used/updated/watched? Or atleast a sanity check if the update date is within 1 month of current date when version number changed.

Before the transfer to the new checker version when mods fixed release dates, it would find its way to the checker.
