With the map reviews bit, would it be possible to have it so that it can be sorted by rating instead of just alphabetical.

All you have to do is click on 'score' right under the review index and it will be sorted by scores. [addsig]

I looked at the models section of the HL2 files page, and really think your sections could use some reform. Why would you have an entire sections dedicated to aircraft, tanks and cars when you could just bundle them all into vehicles? Furniture is also far too generic a section and most of props from HL2 would be classed under it - I'd suggest adding things like "industrial" and "urban" and keeping furniture for things like couches and tables.

is there something happening with the snark icons? the last couple of times on arriving at the pit, all of the icons that indicate new posts are coloured, like they should be. but as soon as i go to a forum page, all the icons are greyed out. [addsig]

I haven't done anything to that code.

Reno, the sections are organised like that because we don't have sub-sub-sections, and I want to avoid having hundreds of prefabs under the same one section.

I have noticed, far more questions asked, than answered in the editing forums. This is inevitable of course, but my concern is, the asking parties sometime fail to return and mark the question solved.

we need to stress this conclusion when ever or where ever possible.

A compulsory search of previous questions might cut this down a bit. Perhaps a clearup of all the one-login-wonder questions after, say one month might tidy the place up (but would answers be marked as 'answered' or just deleted?) [addsig]

Perhaps they don't get answered, but there aren't that many repeat questions, so tbh there's no point in deleting them..!

What about testing out the Suggested answer, and marking them correct then? It makes the community look clueless with all those Question marks! [addsig]

I wasn't suggesting adding sub-sections, nor was I questioning the prefab groups (if they are working then thats cool) - I just think that for props the groups could be better. As there are currently none, perhaps I'm jumping the gun, but I can see there being more in the way of industrial, household, urban or sci-fi models that many of us will have learn to make if we want originally themed levels, rather than difficult things to make that are unlikely to see much use, such as planes or tanks.

Slight visual bug - for some reason the green line underneath the quote and reply buttons isn't there any more. The green line continues under the normal icons in a post, but may be covered by the buttons in the posts. Minor point, but worth mentioning I guess...

Why do I care about map urls being correct or 404 or whatever?

Loco, are you talking about normal/condensed/hi-res topic views? I haven't changed any of them for a while now, so any change can't be due to me...

Map reviews should be listed (or have the option of being listed) on the front page. It might encourage people to write them if their place on the site was more obvious, as currently you have to go into a section of the website that has been pretty much dead for years in order to see if there is anything new. I had no idea Yak had posted a few new ones until now, for example.

I still reckon the reviewer should be listed on the map reviews list as well, something like...

Errr.... Normal views, but it suddenly seems to be fixed now. Never mind!

i saw this 3 times today, once in a posted url link to a screen shot, and twice in my tutorial.

for some reason, when you submit the url is altered and a second "HTTP://" is added, thereby rendering the link dead.

it could be an isolated incident, but the occurrence in two separate locations has me wondering.

No, that's always happened as long as I've been here (along with most links on the front page giving me a re-direction limit error). [addsig]

The only problem I've seen recently is people (i.e. you Orph ) having a new line halfway through a URL, thus breaking the code! But the thing is, it's NOT hard to enter a proper URL with bbcode and get it working properly, so you can edit it. If however there are other ways to break the code which are easily reproduced, fire away
