Just curious as to why X-men is Called Uncanny X-men on the site? I seem to be out of the loop... lol

I believe there are more Uncanny X-Men books than there are just plain X-Men by quite a margin. But hopefully someone has a better answer than that.

Pretty much that, but it does depend on which Title type you use.

Apart from that, there was another series called X-Men in sorta recent years, so Uncanny makes sense to differentiate them.

Uncanny X-Men started as just "X-Men". They added the "Uncanny" prefix later in the titles run.
Later they launched X-Men Volume 2 and it was just easier to refer to the uninterrupted numbering of issues on volume 1 into Uncanny as just Uncanny X-Men.

Did I explain that well enough?

Doom has it. The name changed but it was still considered to be the same volume with the same lettering. So to make it simple I left it all as uncanny.
