over the last days we made a couple small changes that should make this site a bit better:
* The youtube code has been improved. You still use it the same way but it now supports HTML5 as well. This is particularly useful for smartphones and tablets that don't support flash.
* The summary for maps has been increased from 50 to 150 characters so you will have a bit more information whilst browsing through the download database.
* We have increased the size a thumbnail can be from 178x134 to 200x150. It's a big bigger and easier to remember. If you spot any layout errors due to this change; please add a screenshot to this post.

If you have any other suggestions please post them!

The declaration about the download release.
This will be alltimes displayes beside the download.
You can not search for this.

Not sure about others but what this actually does was not obvious to me.

I suggest fixing the rating system. I know msleeper said it's probably all going to get tossed out when Valve releases their mod store or whatever they're planning, but still, they're on valve time. It might be a long time before we see that, and we're stuck with the broken rating system for now...

Unless it's an enormous amount of work to fix, then it's probably not worth it...

100 posts YAEY!

Sweet! I like the summary tweak. We should definitely encourage more explanations and backstory for levels, not just "idk deres cubes and buttons ah guess?"

also as LP said the rating system is bassically impossible to change... also
in my opinion this site wont die.... here we help each other with hammer
also a lot of the maps released with the puzzle maker wont be super awesome... you can release hammer maps, however I think this site will stay just fine.
Also I'm not sure how much I'm allowed to say about the puzzle maker and when it will be released, but you wont have to wait long.....seriously

If you signed any kind of NDA, don't say anything

*Edit: Nevermind I just read it in one of the stickied posts!

This is probably at my end but I am just checking

Is anyone else having trouble uploading atm.
I am trying to update one of my maps but it just hangs when I hit submit.

I've just uploaded (and already deleted) a test download; it was working fine for me.
Do you get any errors and/or red text after the upload fails?

I have just tried it again and still nothing. It just hangs when I hit the submit button (nothing happens). I don't get any errors or red text.
It must be something at my end if its working for you.

I am just trying to update a map, not upload a new one if that makes any difference

could you try to upload a file to the wip section called database test? Try to use the same files as you did with your original upload. I'll delete it later but then you'll know for sure if it's the update or something you did

Same thing happens it just does nothing.
I have done a few uploads to other sites for testing (tiny pic, fb and youtube) and it's no problems.
Very strange because my last upload was on the 18th and everything was fine

Either way, nothing is ever deleted. We have a hidden board that acts as a trash can for anything that gets removed. Nothing is ever really deleted.
