also now the ads are a bit different... Less annoying... there are also square ads for the pages that have side sections (home page and user pages), and the placement is different on the forum, and other places.

 Posted: 29 Jan 2007 12:13 GMT Total Posts: 1676 | Ok, Fixed some bugs.
(only for those of us who can delete comments, that is...)
Now it fixes the last comment time and the topics will delete themselves if there are no more comments in them.
One day I will make it so you can also delete the topics and all the comments in them all at once.

Nearly all accounts were transferred. The ones that weren't were either already here, or there was an account already here with the same email address, or the username didn't follow the rules (more than 3 characters, less than 25, numbers, letters, underscores only).

Do you mean to say that we should scare/threaten people into coming here?

 Posted: 6 Mar 2007 17:37 GMT Total Posts: 714 | Personaly I don't like the bright skin. Nothin agianst who ever made it. I just dont like bright skins.
And I think what L is trying to say is that the new skin misleads veiwers into joining something that its really not. Now that sounds like fun.
EDIT: When did the edit buttion become blue??

 Posted: 6 Mar 2007 20:12 GMT Total Posts: 1676 | Ok, there are now file statistics. It will only display the top 50.
I still haven't made the "sort by rating" or "sort by downloads per day," but I will do that some time soon.
Edit: If you don't like the bright skin, you can go into your preferences and change your skin to "CG External"... there isn't a logo for it, but it's the skin used for pages from CalcGames.org.

 Posted: 9 Mar 2007 17:59 GMT Total Posts: 1676 | Ok, I made a few adjustments on file pages and multiple file view pages... mostly with categories and stuff...
But a bigger change is that now there are 4 levels of organization.
Platform (ti-82, etc...) Language (assembly, etc...) Type (game, level, etc...) Sub Category (RPG, Tankers (for levels), Math (for programs), etc...)

There were some really crappy reviews out there.
Although, you should make author reviews float; otherwise, they'll probably be voted into oblivion.

 Posted: 13 Mar 2007 15:32 GMT Total Posts: 1676 | Do you mean reviews by the author of a specific file?
Those are actually against the guidelines. There are, however, several reviews by the respective authors. I know of 2 or 3 that I have left since they did a good job. I usually delete them, though.
