EDIT: Bug: My map is 15.6 mb. It is saying it's over 200mb and won't let me upload. This is wrong. :razz:

I didn't have Grox's problem; it acts like its uploading fine, but it just goes back to the upload screen and doesn't appear anywhere.

Yup, there's been some bumps, but it seems to be fairly stable for now.

Next things I'll be working on will be cleaning up what's there (I'm looking specifically at the vertically offset sidebar list entries and the weird thumbnails in IE) and on the search page.

After that will be user-based navigation (including moderation) and auto-thread creation. Stay tuned for more updates.

These changes are going places; its exciting that we've (p0rtalplayer has) finally implemented them. Once we get done with ratings and auto-thread-creation, we should have some kind of promotion or event to attract new members.

Also, my map got the first download. Bow to me. :atlas_cool:

Someone told me they had a valveTime writer on hand...hopefully that'll still be the case whenever its all finished.

GOGOGO

UPLOAD ALL THE MAPS

EDIT: I can't seem to find an edit button. I forgot to credit omni for the blockfield texture.

Cool! Not got a chance to use it yet, as I'm on my iPad, doing chores.
Could you make the backgrounds pure white though? The lines through the text are annoying :vface:

I woke up this morning at 5 AM with a splitting headache and nausea, so I'm gonna be taking a sick day today.

In the meanwhile, don't forget about the wiki, people! It's getting spammed like an old woman's email!

Spam? On MY Wiki?

NOT ON MY WATCH.

I can't name exactly what they're doing I think, but the wiki I am working with is planning a captcha system eerily similar to an idea I had, where you're shown a picture of a giraffe, and have to tick the box that says "giraffe".

A thought, if you wanted a pretty damn good captcha system.

...So you're saying I could write a bot that took the image, looked it up on google, and then compared the result it with the different things I could check...

Not if you made your own image of a stick giraffe or something and called it "Scorpion.png" or something.

Or alternatively...
