Ever since they went back up yesterday or early today, I can't seem to find their awesome sg filter. Am i missing something, or did they drop the feature when they switched providers?

EDIT: It's back up! go check it out:

Steamgifts filter? If you mean Steamworks, it's here

No no, they had a page at the site where you could list current sg giveaways, either by time left or in alphabetical order. So, if you wanted to find every, let's say, killing floor giveaway, you'd just click on the corresponding game image, and a page would pop up listing all the giveaways for that game.

It was a very easy and effective way to traverse steamgifts, and I'm sad to see it is gone.

Oh - interesting. Never noticed that. I can see how that would have been useful.

IsThereAnyDeal.com said "I haven't managed to move it yet" on the Facebook page.

Look at it here: http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=387568914658116&id=124594190955591

Sorry guys, when I was moving the page I hadn't time to move gifts. Obviously main page was priority. I thought I will add some features and then get it back online but I see you want that back as soon as possible, so I'll try to do that over the weekend. I'm not promising it'll be up, I had my folks in town during weekend and I have to finish some work to school so it may be up next weekend at the latest.

Awesome! You don't need to rush anything - just knowing that the feature will be implemented again is good enough.

While we're on the subject, would it be possible to implement filtering games we already own and displaying private giveaways, assuming that can be done with the new sign in through steam feature, and in due time of course?

Displaying private giveaway will probably never be possible, the Steamgifts account details are not saved by Steam. I think cg would have to make an API to let other websites use the Steamgifts user data.

I thought as much, since sg is a third party after all. Filtering owned games would probably be possible though, but i'd be happy with the feature returning in the first place.

That is exactly I was talking about when I mentioned I wanted to implement new features first. I want to add filtering owned games, but it'll take some time (I will add this on IsThereAnyDeal.com for deals, first), so I will upload gifts without this.

Private giveaways aren't possible neither are group giveaways. If you want that, go tell cg to create API :)

I know I'm late, but thank you very much for bringing the site back up. Sifting through steamgifts is a breeze once more!
