Adding custom system

Hello! I recently added a character sheet for a new system (Solipstry). I'm noticing that I can select it under Character Sheet, but I cannot select it for "Games I enjoy playing" on my profile, nor for "What game are you playing?" on a new game. Is there an additional step needed to add this system to those dropdowns as well as the character sheet suggestions?

Games are added to that dropdown based on popularity on the site. The best way to get a game added is to get lots of people playing it. 
I might be missing something-- it's impossible to type in the name of the game if it's not on the dropdown. If I can't type it in, how will it be measured as being played?

Based on what people add to their profiles as games they like to play, and probably based on usage of a standardized character sheet, if one is created.  I feel like that question has been answered before recently, I'll see if I can dig it up...
That would be great, if you can find it. There's a standard character sheet, but I definitely can't enter 'Solipstry' in either my profile or my game.

Ah.. so you can't. &nbsp;Guess that is a believe based on an assumption at some point. =D &nbsp;The wiki does have some details about this:&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Looking_for_Group#Other_Ga" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Looking_for_Group#Other_Ga</a>... I'm not sure what the actual magic is, so community discussion and involvement, using the name of the game in your LFG posts, using the character sheet, etc. is probably the best way to go.

Yes. Here is the latest post of advice from the Dev Team on this, <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/4135973/add-open" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/4135973/add-open</a>... "The best way to get it onto the list is to keep using its character sheet and marking your Other Games with the Game Title in the description"
Thank you!
