Geeze Muhnay, I hope everything turns out all right.

I may not be keeping strict updates for the compilation map, but I have been organizing snarkPit a little more lately.

I recently added these icons for their particular mods in the games and mods list:
  • Counter Strike:
  • Counter Strike Source:
  • Other
  • Natural Selection
  • Day of Defeat Source
  • Day of Defeat
  • Fortress Forever
  • Deathmatch Classic
  • Ricochet
  • Red Orchestra
  • Zombie Panic Source
  • Left 4 Dead


And I also added Thinking With Portals to the Links page.

-Just a little something I suppose. I aim to make sure every mod has it's own individual icon! Feel free to make suggestions!

It feels abit stupid,for me,when i'm looking at the firs page of a topic.I don't like the empty space under the avatar of the member who posted the topic.I think it will look abit beter if the firs post of the topic has a square around it and the other posts are plased like before.

Not heard anything back yet, but I don't hold out a great deal of help. My solution would be to perhaps buy a new domain (sigh) eg snarkpit.co.uk then have a globat page at snarkpit.net doing a meta refresh to there.

Incidentally we raised about £50 / $70 / E53 so that covers new hosting AND domain reg if we need to do it.

You could just add an index.php file on globat with the following code:

<?php
header('Location: http://www.snarkpit.co.uk/');
exit;
?>

Redirects any browser, nice and easy.



I'm still slowly pottering away at the new site update... lots of new stuff... looking good!

Globat insist to me it is regged with godaddy, looks like through some other company - so we might be saved. I checked this out and it looks like its locked into Leps old hotmail account so i've fired an email off to him.

Aha, was hoping it'd be something like that!

Could you grab the new hosting then? Then I'll be able to get the new site tested and upload the database/content etc... then we can just log into godaddy and change the nameserver stuff to point to the new hosting whenever we're ready?

OK, so I've been making some revisions to my account, certain things, like: that pic is from 5 years ago, and I look nothing like that, and I was changing my signature, I must say it is somewhat ridiculous that every time you make a change to your account you must reactivate it through email

you should probably fix that, because I've never had a forum do that to me and it is quite irritating


[edit] nevermind, apparently my stupid browser kept inputting my password into the "new password" box and kept changing my password

/me smacks face smiley

No, no, don't smack your face yet! smiley The site currently has some issues, most of which are long fixed and up on the new and improved server. I'm sure that you may join the beta, if you want to have a look and help testing. larchy is doing an amazing job.

The new new Snarkpit is gonna be more polished than the site has ever been before!

66mb! Its probably got other programs in that package too! Try MSN Messanger 7.0 (smaller download) or use a web based messanger such as ebuddy or meebo.

Yepp, thats why I use it. I have the seperate app. So I get e-mail alerts and people I want to chat with know where to find me. You can voice and video chat with it too.

Considering it's real-time chat in a browser using GWT ... I'd say, as the application stands, it's pretty cutting edge.

It's silly to have that as your only IM contact, though.



Blame it on Microsoft, God does.
