For the database, add a proper ability to browse.

Also when I click "search" all the maps have "missing picture" thumbnails.

This has been discussed in the past, but I'd like to see it added before the site's launch. I feel like forum-goers should have tags or titles that reward posting outside of off-topic. Since post count already reflects this, having the titles or tags added corresponding to various post thresholds seems like it'd be cool. I suggest something along the lines of (this is just an idea here):

[list:1yyvn2bs]0-50 posts: Drifter
51-100: Test Subject
100-175: Test Associate
176-275: Test Designer
276-400: Hobo King
401-600 (Thinking big here): Junior VP
601+: Senior Aperture Science Vice President
OVER 9000: Mantis Mann[/list:u:1yyvn2bs]

Another thing we should have is (and we may already have this, I don't know) ability to integrate SFM videos into the download database - possibly supporting video embed/preview and video source download.

I'm still waiting for custom titles for the founders

As the leader of the failed mod who wanted to practically make Portal Opensource, I want ALL of us to have custom titles even the underlings around here.

mAL had custom titles. I liked it. Right now we don't have enough people for making a feature founder-only, as that would only exclude like, two people.

I suggest doing something to promote the site for new members.

We need to wait until the site is ready. It's close, but not quite there yet.

Contest

Also, completely forgot about the ranks. Fixed that situation right up

inb4 test subject

I made an edit to a post, and it created a duplicate of it with my edits. By the looks of it, this's happened to a few other people more than a couple times.

How are the Community Spotlights going to be 'elected'? Are we going to keep Imperator until the next contest?

I actually didn't really think about it. I guess I'll set up a voting thing or something like that eventually.

Maybe if a map gets x voting in y amount of time, an admin could be contacted and he could manually feature it; so that a map doesn't stay for only 1 hour for instance.

I can't submit anything to the database now...something about a missing "contest" field messing up the SQL?

Oh dear, must have broken that yesterday without realizing it. I'll put the warning back up, and the site should be fixed within a day or two.

Edit: mostly fixed, still haven't gotten around to seeing what's up with the workshop getter, and seals of approval aren't a thing yet. But the infrastructure is there.

Bam. Workshop all fixed (turns out I broke the description bit last time I updated the AJAX script, and steam started using 9-digit map ids), and seals of approval are up.

Still not entirely happy with the database infrastructure, but it's quite a bit better now (all in one database, ha ha) so I can't complain too much.

I've added a link to mAI on developer.valvesoftware.com

That reminds me that we have a wiki and need to put articles on it...

Hurr. Yeah. I locked all editing (can't remember if just normal users or all editing in general) a while ago because the spam was racking up. In two (2) days I will be back home and able to start crunching on my todo list, so if you can't edit then hit me with a PM sometime in the next few days and I'll give you the correct permissions.

Looks like nobody, because I can log in but cannot edit anything (and I'm a mod).
