Members of a group can lend each other games and keep a record of who has what. It runs on the honor system: WR-Games tracks the loan, and the two of you handle the handover. You’ll find it on the group’s Collection tab, under Loans.

Two Ways a Loan Starts

1

Select Lend a Game

Type the game’s name. Search the directory if you’d like its cover on the loan.
2

Choose the Borrower

Pick the member who’s taking it home.
3

Add the Details

A Due Date and Shared Details are both optional.
4

Select Create Loan

The loan is active right away.
If you already have that game out to someone in the group, WR-Games checks that you mean to lend another copy.

Answering a Request

If someone asks to borrow from you, the request shows Approve and Decline. Approving makes the loan active. Declining gives you two choices:

Who Can See What

The lender and the borrower can open Details on a loan to add a private note or leave a comment. You can delete your own comment, but not edit it. Once a loan exists, the lender is the one who changes its shared details and due date.

Due Dates and Reminders

A due date is optional. When there is one:
  • The borrower gets a reminder as the date approaches, and a notice once it has passed.
  • The lender is told if the game is still out after that.
  • An Overdue marker shows on the loan for the two of you.
If the lender changes the due date, the reminders follow the new date.
Loan notifications arrive in WR-Games only. There’s no loan email.

Returning a Game

Either of you can select Mark Returned. The loan moves to History, where its details can still be read but no longer changed. Loans are for members only, so if you leave the group you can no longer see its loans.

Adding Games to Your Collections

Put your games on the group’s shelf so members know what’s around.
