'"please update map details"- you have a map still in beta status that you haven't updated for a while'

I'm getting this message in my control panel about a map I only added today.

under "homepage" you might remove the words "apply for one here" it might cause confusion.. [addsig]

An option to clear sent messages would be nice, although I'm not quite sure why...

I'm thinking the "random map" feature people suggested ages ago is worth considering, though I'm not sure where it could go on the current layout. It would just be nice to have a thumbnail of a map displayed somewhere everyone passes (such as the news page), I think it would attract people's attention to maps more often. I guess below/above all the current sidebar stuff on the news page would be a good place. Just have a thumbnail of a hosted image and then "Blah by Blahblah" underneath.

Obviously to get the thumbnail thing working your would need to ensure the maps shown would only be those with images uploaded to the profile. [addsig]

wouldn't it be easier to just add the first thumbnail from the map in the side bar on the last two addition which would then be a link to the screen shots of the map?

Or maybe (so the site doesn't run slower then it already does from half way accross the world) just have the screenshot logo that is shown if there is no thumbnail next to each map name which is just a direct link to the screens.

Just keep in mind, when this site resizes images, it isn't exactly smooth and slapping that on the main page would certainly be annoying if it slowed it down.

I suppose a solution to that would be the map submitter would upload a small thumbnail (no more then 15k) for that image, otherwise use the imageicon thing I mentioned earlier. [addsig]

Crono, thumbnails are actually generated and saved thumbnails, they don't 'slow the site down' at all. I guess a random map could go under the 'new maps' list or something...

Nice one Lep. I assume it's just for completed maps?

Have a 'Know it all' title in the user stats page for whoever has answered the most editing questions.

TBH, to address the people who propose the new spinko changes to the map display system, good ideas - but surely these changes will be more or less redundant until Half-Life 2 is here?

There just isn't a steady output of quality in the Half-Life mapping scene for these changes to be implemented, yet

I disagree gwilligan! Adding all these 'spinkee' features now allows any potentially site destroying bugs to be fixed before the HL2 newbie rush.

I also agree, I was just trying subtly to move us past the sticking point we seem to be at currently Trying to get "fresh ideas" moving, as it were...

but meh, i suppose i should let the thread take its natural course

Ahh I see. I think Lep is going to code some of the harder stuff when his finals are over. I was just concentrating on small easy to fix stuff.

It would be nice if those with pits could upload a bunch of stuff like screenshots at once.

If you try to list all the members with usernames starting with a certain letter it shows the amount of people but doesn't list them.

Maybe I just noticed, and I've read a few pages back to see, but cant find a mention of it. The new (I think its new) "Watch this map" feature. [addsig]

Mmm, quick reply goodness The bottom of the topic page is a bit of a mess though, I'll look into sorting it out.
