omegaslayer, like a lot of other people you seem to have failed to understand the meaning of "please enter a fully qualified URL"- it means start it with http:// (this is because people with pits might only want to write pits/leperous, for example).

Gwil-m0ng, learn to edit posts And what do you mean by 'arrows' to move up and down, you can do that with your keyboard already?

Suggestion: When the creator downloads his own map, the counter does not go up.

The new next, previous and random buttons on the profiles are a good idea, but can you exclude profiles with no content from the "random" link? I just clicked the link several times to try it out and got several profiles in a row with no content (no description, maps, or posted news). Just an idea...

GBall, something tell me that is intentional, perhaps to stop what you were trying?

Loco, I agree entirely. Its a cool feature for those bored, lazy days (you can just browse for ages, commenting on maps) but its furstrating when you get a huge set of empty ones coming up in a row.

I'm not sure about the newish system that disables a map's comments section when there is a forum thread. With ancient thread revival being the son of the devil, I can see some people getting pissed off with old map threads popping up just because somebody wanted to say "Nice map, good job!". I can also see the benefit of it, as previously it was hard to keep track of comments with them possibly appearing in two places. Perhaps (if it isn't already), comments could be "unlocked" after a certain period of inactivity in the thread, or at the map author's discretion (eg. a toggle between thread only / comments only option).

I have been giving this some serious thought. I think if people knew how to post thumbs to their screens it might encourage them to post optimized screens more often.

say for instance: member so-and-so posted an 800x600 80k image but truly thought it did a dis-service to his map, he could link it to a massive 160k version via the thumb command code.

would it be possible to prominently display the code, and its implementation in such a way as to encourage its use?

Er, more of a question really, but is there FTP access to the pits? I've got a whole folder full of small files that I'd like to upload but I'm far too lazy to upload each file singularly. [addsig]

Reno, you can comment on maps again when it is released!

I agree about the thumbnail code, I've got about 3 already and should sort them out :/

And no, there's no pit FTP access. I don't yet know how to arrange for something like this, though people have raised similar issues in the past...

In the maps section, you currently have the sort by:Name,downloads,date,size,ratings and viewed.

can you add "complete" or some other designation that will separate beta's from completed works?

As well as weekly HL2DM map round up could there be a CSS one in there aswell? There seem to be quite a lot of CSS maps.

I don't think Lep is discriminating, its probably just the best maps of the week, period.

Okies, It said best HL2DM maps so I thought that it's only HL2DM maps up there.

Here's a quick list of the best of the week's HL2DM map releases here on the SnarkPit

Not really a site bug, but might be something that you want to change:
In the HL2 editing sticky - the showbudget is in the wrong bullet point.
  • Q: How do I display the frame rate and other details about my map?
    A: In the console, type:
    cl_showfps 1 to show the frame rate
    mat_wireframe 1 to show the map in wireframe map
  • Q: Can I have monsters attack me in deathmatch levels?
    A: No- there is no AI configured for them in DM mode.
    +showbudget to show what things- models, lighting etc.- are contributing to your FPS

Call me slow but i just noticed that all the admin/mods are Europeans. not that thats a bad thing but you really need to find someone you trust here in the states, or at the very least outside your mindset.

For instance, no one i know of in the states would have locked a thread over a "your momma" joke. course we all used to play that one as children. i am unsure how its done over there though :/

anywho's, find someone/s you trust whom doesn't think as you do to cover the yin/yang of snarkpit thinking.

I'd be willing to put it to a voting. Yak,KFS,Gorby or even Crono.. it might make him less.... cronoish.

I bet you been waiting weeks to use that word in a sentence

and after looking it up, it only proves my point. no one here would have thought so. well, no one i know in person would have.
