I have an idea for a layout for Tutorials that I think you should introduce soon as alot of people lead busier real lives and look up any new resources / code ideas, and thats to design it as a recipe card.

You have your ingredients broken up into usefull info for the learner. Which are things you will need to know,  Will be learning, what tools/libraries/language you'll need to have.; Some of this content like music and sample graphics, links to the libs etc can be allready available.

Just a little idea, I had knocking about. Need something that is different from the norm, a bit more accessable, fun and interesting. Also include a jargon buster for terms that dont make a lot of sense to the learner / discoverer of Knowledge.

If you have you own visions, then fair play and dont mean to step on feet.

I definately want to ad tutorials to the site Clyde, I've been meaning to make time to add some extra code to the portal to handle them.

It shouldn't even take that long to code, I just need to have some tutorials first but it's an excellent point and I'll write more on it on the weekend because I have something very specific in mind (your idea would fit into this just fine Clyde).

On another note, I forgot to link this;

http://www.dbfinteractive.com/forum/index.php/topic,3732.0.html

You'll find lots of stuff you can do to help promote this website in that topic, including a really nice flash banner that Benny made which can be added into sigs in other forums where their rules allow for it. :)

Cheers for heads up dude. nice concept for the Challenge, nice one Benny dude.

btw, I have contacted the webmaster at the PureBasic site, to ask if it's possible to add a link to here someplace. No harm in asking. And some may of noticed my message on my facebook page, pointing fans this way.

I would encourage the regular gang of groupies we have daily, myself included, to tell others of our existance. In a casual conversation perhaps drop a name ;)

This place has and is doing very well, much better than the previous place. In General, I think people are leading busier and busier real lifes. And the hobbies have to suffer unfortuneatly.

Bit of a shame about the child forums not showing the post count other than 0.

A link from PB would be nice :)

If you want to tell them that I'll link them in the portal on the scene links page in return, feel free.
