When I try to edit my profile avatar or image, or upload photos, the links to add images opens a to a page with the Gamespot header, but a totally black backround. If I try to paste an image from either my local drive or online image storage this page does not open an upload location selector or accept the paste for either the image or the "img" image location "endimg" BBCode. It also does not accept "left angle bracket" "aref" "right angle bracket" web references.

I have tried many different ways to change my profile pic which is currently the blank default, or a preferred image file (usually JPG, regardless of the image location. (Tried using an aref, or img tag file reference but both got the 500 Error below).

FYI, OS is Windows 8.1 Desktop Mode using Internet Explorer 11 Desktop Mode.

Tried to update this post and got a 500 Error:

500: Internal Server Error

Welp, this is embarrassing....

Something terrible has happened here. A 500 error happens when something on our end messes up. We are working as hard as we can to resolve the issue, and will hopefully have it fixed soon.

Also, after the 500 error I could not return to my original post or even find it in a search of Bug Reporting & Feedback!

1. BUG REPORT: I spent over 30 minutes extensively adding owned games to the My Games stack. Each time I added a game I carefully clicked the "+" to add the game before using Search for Games to find the next game.

Each time I clicked the plus my Stack was updated with the owned game just added. I had gone from 26 owned games to over 50 owned games when the My Games web page suddenly refreshed. I found myself frustratingly looking a 26 games in my Stack, Despite frequent saves logged in, my over half-hour of updates was lost.

During my search in Add Games there were far too many "tis a barren wasteland" responses for some fairly well known and well distributed older games, even though I found and seemingly added similar games from the same time period.

2. FEEDBACK: I like the Gamespot Search feature but its effectiveness is problematic. For example, when I search specifically for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim PC, the only review is for Xbox. This occurs even when I click the result page options for PC. I also got no search results when trying to look for Downloadable Content (DLC) for Skyrim or any other game. More and more established games have DLC, so add a search criteria or checkbox for this category.

Also, when I use Search, New Games, Upcoming Games or Games Alphabetical, many of the results include Japanese games. While I'm curious about Japanese games that may be localized to English, unfortunately I do not read or understanding Japanese. Suggestion: Add a Language feature to search so I my search results are only in English. Add a similar Search criteria so I can search ONLY for PC games or Steam games, or other platform-significant criteria.
