Today was the last day of school before the break, and now I don't have any more academic things to worry about. As I said before, I'm going to spend much of my time now finishing up all the services around the site. I hope to get at least a rough prototype of the galleries and competition systems up and running by January 1st.
There's a ton of stuff to work on, but the smaller things can wait until later, or at least until I finish the galleries and the comps. But I'll also be making quick fixes around the site if any glitches come up. Haily said he'll finish importing the old topics as long as I don't bother him about it.
But this is just an announcement to say that lots of stuff will be getting worked on throughout the site. If you see anything go horribly wrong (like when I was making the PM alerts more noticeable and accidentally made them completely huge), don't panic. So, I've got 13 days until new years; let's see how much the site can improve until then... User Comments (36) | Isa |

Well, for now, fix quotes in quotes, like this:
Otherwise, great to have you with us again. | | Livio |

well at least that stops massive quoting cycles?
I dunno, I need haily to work on that, since he's already familiar with his pages. but right now I'm turning the "all members" list into a straightforward text list b/c right now the avatars take forever to process the page. | | Quirvy |

Well, actually, might say that you made PM alerts look less noticable.
Are you up for a challenge, Accel?
•Improve censor system
•Consider, and then go with Jell's suggestion in the mods forums
•Give Isa more powers
•Give CSD and Jebby powers
•Release the new points system
•Delete the current one
•Transfer topics from the old interguild
•Make the alert slightly more noticeable(to start, don't make it appear when you gain points, otherwise people will never bother to look at the bar)
•Give mods the power to move topics, ect.
I'd also like to be able to rate video's .5 and 0, if possible.
I'm sure I'm forgetting something...

no polls yet. I'll leave that for another day, but the points change doesn't appear to be causing glitches.. | | Isa |

One thing that would be nice would be if you could retreive my post in the mods forums, on the old interguild forums, where I outlined the new points system. That'd be a useful thing to have, so that we can continue discussing the new system in the mods forums.

I don't want a full transfer, just if you can look into it, and just copy and paste my post.

gotta post my new updates somewhere...
the Level Galleries 'homepage' is completed! It took quite a while b/c I encountered many design obstacles (in other words, I just couldn't get it to look good >_< ) but now it does look good, and it works! the last thing I have to do with release is the actual Browse system so you can look through the levels that other people have made. I might be able to finish it tomorrow, and then it'll be releasable. But you still won't be able to search, since I'm saving that until another day.
I'd actually like to release the galleries alongside with Haily's bringing over of the old topics. That way, you guys will have all of your old gallery topics and can immediately start filling the system up (assuming there are no major glitches, then that would just be catastrophic). I think I'll create a whole system in the Level Galleries so that the mods can have somewhere to put all of the cavecodes of people that haven't joined the new site but have galleries in the old one. That, or I'll just be lazy and create an account for all the mods to use.
after I release the galleries, I'll be putting the finishing touches on the Competitions system and then release that as well. That way we can start the new year with a stable site with all major departments running. I've only got 5 or 6 days left until 2009. Can it be done? | | snowman |

Your gallery doesn't work properly. Always takes me to google.

you didn't have to quote the whole thing, especially if you're the first to reply to it. I removed your quote.
ok, now I need to finish the galleries. I said that I wanted to release it with the old forum topics, but Haily supposedly can't get past this glitch that he made and now he doesn't want to work on it. | | Isa |

Well, just lock the forums for now, but make us able to see them. | | Livio |

oh, the old forums? why didn't I think of that? it's such a simple idea. >_<
sure why not. I still wish haily wasn't so lazy. | | Livio |

Good News: I'm actually done with the galleries system and it's releasable. that is, without the search system that I'm putting off until later. but I'm gonna postpone the release for tomorrow, so that I can finish that not-so-awesome secret that I mentioned to Isa in the chatbox (and since none of you were here today, you all missed it! ). It shouldn't take so long to finish what I'm working on, so expect a release of the Galleries system tomorrow (Saturday) and be ready. | | Sefro |

Dammit Hailey. =( Accel, you really need to learn php, or whatever it is that Hailey can do that you can't. | | Livio |

??
I learned php while I was working on this site before it was released. it was like 3-4 weeks before the site was released that I started learning. And in that time I created most of the competitions system. And now that the site is out I'm creating the Level Gallery system. and when I get that out, I'll finish the comps system and release that.
the stuff that Haily's working on involve things that I still don't know how to do, or sections of the site that he coded and is familiar with. He's also claimed numerous glitches that he will eventually fix. I just wish he wasn't so lazy.
Actually, haily took so long to do things for the site that he made me think that php was so hard to do, but now I'm making these things for the site multiple times faster than he did. | | |
