BoardGameHub
1.0.3
Released
The Admin CP, brought up to the same standard as GameHub.
AddedThe Admin CP now matches its sister add-on. The menu is organised into Dashboard, Catalogue, Taxonomy, Community and Tools instead of a flat list, and seven screens that did not exist are now there: a dashboard with activity, rating spread, data health and setup status; photo moderation; member collections; game of the month; a member overview with a purge tool; the rating scale with its guidance text; and a maintenance screen for rebuilding counts.
AddedGames can be edited from the Admin CP, including the ten table sheet fields: minimum age, illustrator, setup time, teaching time, footprint, language dependency, solo mode and the three accessibility markers. Bulk actions on the game list too.
ChangedEvery existing Admin CP screen was rebuilt on the same layout, so the games list, reviews, duplicates, series, taxonomies and achievements all look and behave the same way. The Admin CP stylesheet went from 69 lines to 957.

Number fields are readable again.
FixedNumbers were partly hidden behind the browser spinner on the playtime, player count, minimum age, setup time, teaching time, review and table planner fields. Those inputs were plain number fields rather than the XenForo number component, so the browser drew its own arrows on top of right aligned digits. All twelve now use the same component as the rest of the form, with the plus and minus buttons, and the value stays readable at any width.

Released
Box shape is now yours to choose.
AddedBox shape is now a setting. Board game boxes are not all the same shape, so the database no longer assumes one. Three choices: tall 3:4 cropped to fill, square 1:1 cropped to fill, or square with the whole box shown and nothing cropped at all. That last one suits a collection that mixes square and rectangular boxes, because every cover is displayed whole whatever shape the file is, so a square box never loses its title to a crop and a rectangular one is never stretched. It applies to the browse grid, the featured panel, the game page header and the profile tab.

First public release of BoardGameHub.
AddedThe table. Say who turned up, how long you have and what you feel like, and get five suggestions drawn from the collections your members actually declared. Every suggestion says why it is there in plain words: the count it plays best at, how it fits the evening you have, who is holding the box, and how long it has been since anyone played it. A shortlist can be frozen behind a link and pasted into the thread for the evening.
AddedThe box says, the table says. Every game page compares the playtime printed on the box against the median your members actually logged, with the gap as a percentage and the number of plays it rests on.
AddedA player count poll. Members mark each count Best, Works or Avoid, so a game is no longer just "2 to 5".
AddedThe table sheet: minimum age, illustrator, setup time, teaching time, footprint, language dependency, solo mode and three accessibility markers. The panel leads with the real commitment, including what share of the evening goes before the first turn.
AddedBefore you play. Two voted columns on every game page: the rules almost every table gets wrong the first time, and the house rules yours settled on. Low scoring notes fold away instead of being deleted.
AddedThe shelf. A member collection drawn as box spines, thickness proportional to weight, expansions filed against the game they belong to, seven arrangements and a dust index for the boxes that have not moved in six months.
AddedBoardGameGeek import, off until you paste an application token of your own. BoardGameGeek closed their XML API on 2 July 2025 and asks that every installation carry its own token, so you register an application with them and the licence stays between your board and BoardGameGeek. The player count poll and the recorded playtime are never imported, on purpose.
AddedPlay journal, four criteria reviews, half star ratings, collections, lists, planned sessions, game of the month, rankings, a release calendar, twenty achievements, player cards, tier lists, a comparison screen, a gallery, official rules as attachments, BBCode, a REST API, collaborative editing with history, full moderation and CSV import.
AddedRuns beside GameHub on the same forum. Separate tables, routes, permissions, options, templates and navigation, verified across eleven shared namespaces with no collision.
