EDIT: My bad, we had forgotten to check Display as collaborator on the Admins page

For a certain game jam, I let someone else in the team create the itch page and submit the page, then they added me as admin+collaborator.

Then I commented on other jam entries’ rating page. However, I noticed that the nice mention “Submitted - (game title)” with a small thumbnail of the game did not appear below my post (nor the Submitted tag near my username). It’s a nice thing to see that other jam participants are commenting on your game, and what they made. But apparently, only the submitter can show that. Although the karma algorithm seems to take into account comments from all collaborators, which sounds inconsistent.

For a moment I thought it was being I was logged in and there was no use displaying information on myself, but I tried in a private window, for the same result.

It would be nice to display the Submitted tag and Submitted widget below all collaborators’ posts or, if you really want to stick to the technical naming that Submitter is only the person that developed, “Jammer/Collaborator” and “Worked on/Collaborated on”.

Note the absence Submitted + thumbnail under my post, as well as the absence of “Submitted” tag near my username, but the post below has them.

Wait, I now remember that you sometimes see jam entries with many submitters

Why does our jam entry not appear like this? I think it’s because collaborators have been added after the game was submitted?

It would be nice if collaborators could be retroactively added, or, if it’s done on purpose for chronological reasons (to avoid having many people displayed on the page because more people joined the team later, giving the false impression that the jam game had a big team), there should be a warning when submitting to remind the submitter to add any collaborate before submitting.

SOLVED: we had forgotten to check Display as collaborator on the Admins page. Checking it made us appear on the list of submitters and added the “Submitted” widget.
