If The site Has A Problem Please Post Here,

Sig fixed. I added a quote to my sig temoporarily then removed it, accidentally deleting part of the *img* tag & leaving the end of the *quote* tag.

 

The problem with people forgetting to close their img tags will be sorted next week, after which, any tags that aren't closed properly, wont render at all.

And sure, I _can_ edit people's sigs, but I never do, I just let people to do it by themselves.

The current site layout is what we internally call "version 3" and it was launched in December, 2003. First version lived from June 1999 until November (or so..) 2000 and the 2nd version from Nov, 2000 until Dec, 2003. We have plans to start planning (heh..) a new, "v4", early next year, but it usually takes anywhere between 18 months and 3 years to get the layout rolled out (as we don't just change layouts, we usually rebuild big chunks of the site as well, as a major relaunch is always a good chance to go through your code and look how it should be done differently), so I wouldn't expect major layout change until 2008.

The main difference between our site and many other websites is that we don't use ready-made content management systems, forums, etc -- everything we use and you see on the site is developed by us in-house.

 

been having slowdowns on AD since the early hours of the morn (UK time).

- just got the proverbial bluedragon error (am using the Epiphany browser at the moment, same with Firefox too) -

 

looks like the nice Admins may well have been beavering away at some nifty enhancements - and this one is very impressive and very very welcome indeed, a snazzy new look seems to be on the cards -

 

maybe i'm a guinea pig then. keep schtum, shhhh

 

ah but if mine goes belly up and i can't log in, think of the fun people would have without me, it would be like a border crossing frenzy

 

creaky: That wasn't exactly meant to be online yet, its on one of our servers which is usually not in production But ye, we have gathered tons of feedback via our competition (for those, who haven't heard about it, go to http://www.afterdawn.com/general/innovate.cfm) and all the changes we've done during the last couple of weeks have sparked from those suggestions we've received.

The tabs will grow bigger, because we've received these worrying suggestions that have made me double my doze of variety prescription-only meds -- such as "it would be cool if you guys would launch a software section where we could download all the tools discussed on the forums" and "some kind of selection of guides edited by you would be a nice addition to this site".. Making me think that I have some funky bug in the code that has made the top navigation to disappear from non-admins... Thus, bigger navigation, bigger search box, etc. If that doesn't work, Teemu (our gfx guy) will have to do a big frigging finger that hovers on top of content and points to the top navigation bar..
