GameHub 1.2.0 is on the store. This one came almost entirely from what you asked for in this forum, so the honest summary is: you wrote the roadmap, I built it.
The admin panel, rebuilt from scratch
Eight flat menu entries become four categories: Catalogue, Taxonomy, Community and Tools. All eight existing pages are rebuilt and seven new ones arrive, including a dashboard with key figures, an activity chart, a moderation queue, data health and setup status. The game catalogue gains cross filters, shortcuts to games with no cover, no genre or no rating, and bulk actions. Games are editable from the admin panel now, platforms and genres reorder by drag and drop, and the whole thing is readable in both light and dark themes.
A rating scale your members understand
Scores now carry a word and a colour, from Very Poor to Perfect. A collapsible guide on the game page answers "what is each score worth", the label appears live as someone picks their stars, and a new Rating scale page in the admin panel lists all nine steps with their meaning. Every label is a phrase, so you can rewrite them.
There is also a warning I added on top: if more than half of your ratings are a 1 or a 5, the admin panel tells you. A scale used only at its ends stops carrying information.
Moderation
A member page showing everything someone contributed, and a targeted purge for their ratings, reviews or screenshots. Every affected game average recalculates immediately.
Discussions
You choose which forums the "Discuss this game" button opens. Members pick a thread prefix. The title can be forced to "Game name - member title" so game threads stay recognisable in the forum list. And there is a full editor button for those who want attachments and formatting.
Integrations and addresses
Resource Manager integration: attach resources to a game and they appear with their category, download count and rating. GameHub pages now show up in Current visitors and on member profiles. And game names are in the address:
Speed
Autocomplete on developer, publisher, franchise, expansion and the search box, so the same publisher stops existing under three spellings. The compare page and the Series and Expansion fields no longer load the entire database into a dropdown, which makes a 1000 game catalogue usable again.
Six fixes, including the trending rail that blocked page scrolling, bookmarking a game returning a page not found, and search results showing the internal identifier instead of "Game".
Updating: Admin CP, Add-ons, Install/upgrade from archive. Database changes run on their own, including on an FTP deployment.
Thank you to everyone who reported something here. Keep going.
