Now, you guys who handle the trivia know I do this. I get into a game, and in my insomnia driven stupor, decide to be helpful around here. I usually focus on something I've been playing recently, and it isn't uncommon for that thing to not be on the site yet. I'm currently doing that right now with Heroes of the Storm. Is there some way I could submit multiple things to the game without having to either wait for one to be approved, or resubmit the game as a whole for every time I submit something pertaining to it. Its not that bad for Heroes because its Blizzard, and its only on PC and Mac, but for some games, it requires a new developer, and is multi-console, and its just a pain.

Because of the way submissions are stored, this would be relatively difficult to implement but I agree that it's something that would be useful so we'll look into it.

We could possibly set up a system for your own pending game submissions easy enough - go to your pending submissions, and have a button for "submit another" next to the game not yet on the site. Have it take information from that submission and auto-fill the fields with the related information from the database. This is in theory, but that could work, right Pete?

That's not a bad idea. I was thinking of searching the pending list for a game based on just a name but it would have required a separate form. Pre-loading the existing form with the details from an existing submission should be pretty simple. We'll look into it this weekend.

I was also considering a possible "Submit Another" button on the trivia submission page, so that if you want to submit multiple pieces of trivia to a game you can. I know I've wanted to submit multiple pieces of trivia to the site for a specific game.

We can factor that in as well. It will wind up basically being the same code anyway.

So, this is all up and running now! For people without instant approval, you should now see a couple of new features. First, at the bottom of the add game page, there is now an "Add Another" button. If you submit your trivia using this button instead of the normal submit button, you'll be returned to an abridged add game form so you can add more trivia to your newly submitted game right away.
You'll also see a new button on your pending submissions list. For game-based submissions, there's now a green "ADD ANOTHER" button that will do the same thing as the one on the form at any time, just in case you find some additional trivia you'd like to add later.
As always, we've tested this pretty thoroughly but do let me know if you find any bugs or have any further suggestions!
