Some things I discovered now...
- The articles and tutorials index pages are using the old layout;
- In the main page, "Getting to know your compiler" is listed as the latest article, while it's really the one-to-last tutorial;
- Anyway it seems there is something wrong with the "Articles" panel on the main page, because it doesn't show any more articles (like it does with tutorials). |
Whatever. Who knows... |

I know all about those. I kind made the decision to switch to the new layout after I got the Help Bin working. There are a few minor features that aren't working yet, but I'll get to that soon. As for the Articles, I need to convert the old articles from VBGC to the new format. When you post a "tutorial", you can select it as either a "tutorial" or an "article."

On a different topic, it seems like everyone likes the new layout, at least according to the poll on the front page. Anyone have any suggestions for future polls? Here's what I thought of...
What's your favorite type of game? RPG, FPS, Strategy, etc.
What do you own? nVidia, ATI, other?
I'm not sure how long a poll should be active. VBgamer doesn't get that many visitors, so I think a "week" might be too short of a time frame. A month maybe?

For the poll subjects...
- Which version of VB do you use most? 5, 6, 2002, 2003, 2005 beta
- More as I think about them...
Time a poll should be active: If everyone can vote (not just registered users) then I think 3 weeks is good. Or, better, make it as a counter so let's say, each 100 votes it switches to the next poll. Then if after a given time, say a month, the counter hasn't reached the desired number of votes it switches to the new poll anyway. If all the votes are reached in a very small time, like 5 days, you keep it running for at least some time so everyone has the opportunity to vote. |
Whatever. Who knows... |

Month sounds good. And one suggestion about the new layout. It's obvious that the 2.0 layout places a lot more info on the screen. This is good, but can get a little confusing; perhaps making the headings a little more obvious (pronounced) and/or even making sections collapsable would help. I'm sure the collapse thing would be a lot of work, but it's something to think about.
Besides that, 2.0 is looking very nice! |

| That's an IE only script :-) I wouldn't want to break the website. |

Oh yes, I was actually aware of that, I've just forgotten it. I read some places about it being directly dangerous to use certain script, altough I don't think this was one of them... I hope.
However, I was more concerned about getting my site up and running, than having a perfectly CSS/HTML/etc. valid code.
I guess that the 83 (!) invalid lines in my code proves (http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.icysoft.dk). In my defence I must say that most of the invalid lines are just minor syntax-errors, and nothing serious. |

I still couldn't switch to a newer version. Reasons unknown, but I prefer to stick with VB6. I must admit however that VB .NET is overall a better language.
(weee, 451 posts! ) |
Whatever. Who knows... |

On another topic, in my opinion the top menu links would look better if the visited link color was the same as the un-visited.
(who wants to know where s/he went, anyway?) |

Wow! The first time I've actually stopped up and looked at the forum statistics and then this is what I see. How lucky is that!?
Picture:
3000 posts! Not bad, huh?  |
