Hello all..
I would like some suggestions for the site. Are there anythings you would like to see changed, or do you have any suggestions as to make it run better or look better or anything? I'm open to any suggestion, even if it's really techy..

I don't have time to make large changes immediately, as I'm writing my own CMS, and I also have a girl to deal with, but soon I should. I would like to make the best site possible for you guys, and I think it could be better, so I'd some input..

Thanks all,
Morpheus

About the forums: It would be great if we can stay invisible and if we can delete our own posts :-)

You can stay invisible, go to your user cp, edit options, check use invisible mode.

I'll get back to you about the deleting posts thing..

Impossible, are you sure it's also enabled for area51 members?
Patrick

You're right, it wasn't enabled for supporters. I got it now.
Patrick

You can now delete your own posts.
Any other suggestions?

Thanks, something else, is it possible the option to view attachments is also disabled for area51 members?

Don't know if Patrick has already played with it, but definately shows Area 51 members with permission to download attachments here. Still not working?

Works now :-)
Other suggestion, using a form to email forum members instead of giving the email adres.

I prefer the form, because that prevents spam ;-)

I would like to have the following modification done to the site, specifically the news, screenshot and download sections. Every new entry in the list should always have an associated date. This way, I can figure if something is new, without having to look every where. This would a lot more convenient.

I won't be able to actively make changes too much at this point, but keep coming with suggestions and they will be incorporated in the future.

I agree. It also allows you to look at screenshots as they evolve over time.

Would you prefer each image to have a date with it? Or have images sorted by date and each update have a date?

I prefer the images sorted by dates, with all images published on the same time together.

I think that images/sounds could be grouped by date so that the latest ones are at the top of the page and the oldest ones at the bottom.

Just a little nit-pick. Could the latest (and future) screenshots be converted to jpg's to keep the file size down. The latest ones are quite large bmp's. :smile:

Thanks.
