We update your profile box regularly. Sometimes, this takes a little longer than anticipated. To update immediately, navigate to the Settings page and click Update.
Facebook has changed how news feed stories work. Currently, the stories generated display as “one-line,” text only stories. If you visit the Wall page on your profile and hover over a feed story you can click to “expand” the story to a larger size. The larger feed story sizes (short and full) display the cover images.
Feeds for LivingSocial: Video Games may be disabled in the Applications settings. You can verify your Facebook settings allow LivingSocial: Video Games to publish stories by following these steps:
If you used to get LivingSocial: Video Games feeds but now noticed that you are not, please take into account that Facebook limits the number of feeds an application can publish in a 48-hour period. The current limit is 10 feeds in any 48-hour period.
First, search for the game. Find the game you want to add in the search results. Next to the game's cover there are four check boxes: Have played, Want to play, Playing now, and Not interested. Select the check box that best describes your relation to the game. Once you've clicked the appropriate check box the game is automatically added to your collection.
You can quick-change a game's status on the Manage page. Simply filter for the game you want to change and then click the game's current status. Selecting one of the other two statuses will automatically save your change.
Alternatively, you can change a game's status on the game's page. Use the Your Interest drop down to select the appropriate status for the game.
You can quick-remove games from the Manage page. Simply filter for the game and then use the corresponding red button to delete it from your collection.
You can quick-rate games from the Manage page. Simply rate your games using the provided 5-stars.
Alternatively, you can rate a game on the game's page. On each game page you will see the 5-star Rating box. Click the number of stars you want to assign to the game and your rating will be saved.
On the Manage page find the game, and then use the small circle icon next to the star ratings to clear the rating from the game.
In an effort to promote thoughtful reviews, LivingSocial is now designating reviews of 150 words or greater as a “Super Review” with a yellow indicator. In the future, these reviews will rank higher in our recommendation engine.
As this is a new program, feel free to send us feedback on how we can improve.
First, make sure the game is actually actually missing by searching each of our data sources: livingsocial.com, amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, .ca, .de, and .jp, each of which can be selected on the top of the search results page. If the game is still missing, click the 'add the game to our catalog yourself!' link (you will find this at the bottom of each search result page). Enter the game's title, publisher, and a brief description.
Based upon the games you've expressed interest in, livingsocial.com generates recommendations tailored exclusively to your personal interests. Each set of recommendations is unique to you!
On the Friends page, the game your friends are currently playing are listed. To see a friend's entire collection simply click their picture and browse away!
On the Friends page, the reviews your friends have written are listed.
Your leaderboard position is based on the number of games you've marked as already played in your collection.
At the bottom of the Manage Tab page, we have added the “Export to CSV” feature. This will allow you to export your collection information to a CSV file. The caveat is that this feature is only available to LivingSocial.com site users and those who have linked their social network account to LivingSocial.com accounts. For more information on account linking, go to the “Account Linking” section of the FAQ.
PLEASE NOTE: You must login to the LivingSocial.com site in order to use the export feature.
Absolutely! On each game's page there is an 'Upload cover' link. Simply click the link, locate the image file, and click select.
To upload a cover you need to have flash enabled (http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/). If you have flash enabled and you are still encountering problems, check your browser to make sure that your browser doesn't have a flash block enabled.
We get several requests regarding this issue. Unfortunately, we currently do not allow you to delete an image once you upload it. However, based on your feedback, we hope to add this feature soon.
The linking process can take up to 10 minutes to complete. You will receive a message when the linking process has finished. Once linked, changes you make in Facebook will be reflected on the external LivingSocial: Video Games site (and vice versa).
If you go to the “Feeds” section at the bottom of the “MANAGE” tab page, you can obtain RSS links to your collection activity (e.g., added an item; wrote a review) and a summary of your friends’ latest collection activity. Please note that authentication using your LivingSocial.com credentials is required to view the “friends’ summary” feed.
The RSS feature is only available to LivingSocial.com site users and those who have linked their social network account to LivingSocial.com accounts.
We rely on Javascript to perform all of these actions. And due to a Google Chrome/Facebook issue, the Javascript that drives these actions fails. We are working with Facebook to resolve these issues. In the interim, please use your old browser to manage your collection.
While it doesn't happen often, this is caused by either a) users whose respective social network accounts have been disabled or b) users that have made some pieces of data inaccessible.
Please report any errors or share your feedback here.
