Cheers Druid It will be the only logo there so far that has been generated by code! (I used my fire routine to draw it).

[Shockwave]

Cool, thanks Druid! I am happy to be drunk and in the top 10 users now I feel a little guilty about using a logo generated in code though (even if the template for the fire was a bmp!)

[Rbz]

Cool   8)  Â  I'm one of the uploaders !!!

Many thanks Druid  

[.:] Druid [:.]

No problem, it was not a difficult choice: from the 10 selected uploaders, 3 are coming from this forum.  This is a serious place with "serious" people

The selected uploaders won't need an admin approval to make files available.  It won't be the same for the other users in the future..i'll explain better when its online.

btw, every upload give you 10pts..that's not much but at least ot creates some competition and people willing to hit the top 10 users know how to do it now :p

File must be zip or rar, max size is 800000ko.  Screenshot is max 20000ko, in jpg only.

Hehe Nice one Druid I'm looking forward to uploading some stuff if that's ok?

[.:] Druid [:.]

Cheers and all the very best,

I think thats 4 from this forum now :-) Huge applause for the enormous work on this site and not just for Druid but for the team doing massive uploads.

[Dad1916]

Currently the site has categories for .: amiga : atari : c64 : win32 :. If someone has influence could they request a Mac Os X category also please. I'd love to start using the site but all my productions are Mac Os X only so no point in using the site at present

[.:] Druid [:.]

enough influence....hmmm, like the site owner?

If you want to support this section, if your prods are smaller than 1mb...i'm ok.  Pm me and we'll sort something out!

[.:] Druid [:.]

Two new features appeared on II tonight: personal messaging and upload for all registered users....

If you have an account on II, don't hesitate to upload your own productions or the production you like...it'll be discussed over there, you'll get comments and ...points. 

Cheers,
druid

2 big steps Nice on Druid.

Hello Guys!

It has been a while since I spammed here about II

As I do respect the growing communauty here, I thought it would be a great idea to have some open "alpha version" of II 3.0 open..and spread the link only here....

So, here is the "deal": browse it, I leave it open for all people, for one week.  Send me feedback and if it's possible to have your comments taken into account (minor and realistic changes ;p) , you should see them the next time the alpha version is opened...

Here is the link, let's keep it private for now, ok?

Cheers,

It is looking really nice Druid, one thing that could be done is that the logo could be made clickable to take you back to the news page?

[.:] Druid [:.]

indeed, it's planned.....it's just my lazy ass did not add the logo script yet

[benny!]

@druid:

the new design looks good. but compared to the old design - I personally
prefer the old design with the dark blue colors ( the light blue reminds me
too much on pouet ). the new logo definately rocks!!!

however, I really like the flexible middle content row - that changes its
seize in relation to your display ( size of browser / resolution ). that's very
good imho. 

furthermore, the new design doesnt offer a login form so far. I really liked
the flash form in the original version.

just my 2 cts.

[.:] Druid [:.]

You'll have the flash logon back, don't worry...I can even say without telling too much you might have more flash stuff coming...

It's an alpha version and really unfinished.

About the colors, i agree and desagree at the same time: it's blue like pouet..but well, personnaly it does not remind me pouet because of the colors...maybe more because of the content
Now, as it's all based on CSS, it could be changed within a few minutes for the whole site.

Thanks for your feedback, I really appreciate!  It helps me a lot!

Nice one Druid dude, looks neat. And I Love the new way of downloading a production; miles better then before. 

A couple of ideas you might like to consider.

Would it be possible for people to customize the colours in their profile, or perhaps have themes for people to choose.

I think you should limit the amount of stuff on screen, especially with regards to the news stuff, so you don't have alot of bits to scroll through.

Also thanks for letting us see the Beta.

[Shockwave]

Now that's a damn good idea, I like that. Maybe a couple of selectable themes, even if it is only colour changes, that would keep people happy who didn't like the pouet style colours.

Also Clyde is right about the news items, there are a lot on one page, perhaps it could work differently, for instance, display the latest 5 items that have been posted in and in addition to that, always display the last posted news item first, you could. That way perhaps more news posts can be preserved.. It might encourage more posting.

For instance;

Item 1

This is the latest news item

Item 2

Blah

Item 3

Blah

Item 4

Blah

Item 5

Blah


Page;

<< [1] 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 >>

Could look like that?

[benny!]

Are there really more items in the new alpha For me it looks like the
amount of infoboxes are nearly the same as in the original version !?

Just the fact that the middle content box grows with the size of the
browser window has changed. So, there are more letters in one column
which could make it a bit confusing / overpacked for the user.

Furthermore, the contrast between the colour of the letters and the
background has changed. In the alpha version there is a light blue front-
color on a middle blue background whereas in the original version there
is a nearly white front-color on a dark blue background. This also could
implicitly confuse the user a bit ...
