Welcome to HBGames, a leading amateur game development forum and Discord server. All are welcome, and amongst our ranks you will find experts in their field from all aspects of video game design and development.
Huh... It's going to be tough without the download manager. That was the main reason I joined... Of course, I stayed because of the massively helpful members, so don't think you're rid of me just yet. >: D
I'm gonna go rummage around for a comprehensive list of resources. The shift might take some getting used to, but after a bit of tweaking I can tell it's gonna be an improvement... Well, discounting the server strain-related stuff that makes it better already.
Well TREG said the DLM was going to be reinstated but it's going to take a little time. It was broken the way it was before so they're revamping the system for it.
Another thing to note: I believe links that lead to other .org topics or posts no longer work, or simply pull up 404's. Either this can be addressed, or people may have to edit their sigs and certain posts. this might be a hassle for the script topics.
Yeah, the link thing is rather irritating, though personally, I'm not replacing the link in my sig, 'cause I don't wanna know how horrible my topic looks. XD
Seriously though, imho, compared to everything else that needs to be done, people taking responsibility for their own links is... rather minor. :x
If you're talking about me I just found the option in the User CP XD I really like how its not as cluttered as the VB one :D But... still miss the smileys!
Care to elaborate? Now that I've fully read this thread I'm beginning to have a better understanding and support for what you are trying to do. Right now, I see that people can post new threads in the forums other than the Early Projects forum, though I might not bring up such an issue about it since that MAY be on your to-do list.
I made a couple of nice changes! Quick reply is now enabled for everybody. Also, when you post it'll bring you back to the current thread, instead of the board index. More improvements will come as I figure them out.
Very kind of you shadow.
BTW I'm still working on a hat for that avatar, it's the hair man... the hair is TOO big.
BTW just because this seemed like the best place to post it, if my little prank yesterday in IRC about the changes in the forums and the new systems upset you then sorry. It was all in good jest I had thought.
Those changes I mentioned were made up in my head, as I stated so don't think too poorly on us.
And a hardy congrats to getting the site up and ready again, even if it is partially "broken". You guys busted your ass for about 12 hours on that one, I just hope we were able to help out in some small way over in the IRC.
SMF w00t!
...It looks better, well except for the no-spoiler thing. But, I'm just a fan of SMF. So, kupo...
I'll enjoy seeing where the site goes next.
