NICE ARROWS!
I hate to mention it now, but I've always thought the arrows would be kind of cool if they had a subtle animation (like an upward motion within the arrow or something). Just an idea. Perhaps it would draw to much attention to them. I don't know.
However, the arrows look sweet as they are now, so no NEED to change them. |
Environment Makes All the Difference. |

| Speaking of the arrows, isn't it possible to scroll to the top of the page without reloading the entire page? |

| Another thing - the GameDev news section (which is a great idea, by the way) dosn't seem to update very often. There are often news post on GameDev.net that isn't listed here. |

Well, the arrows you see now are new, I added them early this morning.
As for scrolling to the top of the page, it seems I forgot to add the "top" anchor in the new header page. It's working now :-)
The gamedev.net news feed tries to update every 8 hours. It isn't "realtime", that would be too much of a bandwidth problem and it would slow vbgamer down when downloading the news. Of course, if you need gamedev.net news on a regular interval you could always use a RSS reader or download Firefox. |

I think the new arrows are great. I love everything in this new layout. 
(Eric, you can't miss an opportunity to spread Firefox, can you?  Nothing wrong though, it's the best browser ever created nonetheless.)
|
Whatever. Who knows... |

Well, it would make things so much nicer if everyone used Firefox. Both Mozilla and Firefox have native support SOAP, and I thought that was amazing. I even built some functionality into the new forum software that used it. Unfortunatly I realized that Internet Explorer didn't support SOAP, so that made my attempts at creating a really neat forum quite pointless.
It was really neat. You could read a message by downloading the subjects only, and then click on the subjects that you want to read and the SOAP/javascript would download just the message body and then it would create a child element at the appropriate location in the page to dynamically insert the content.
Also, since simply viewing a JPEG file in Internet Explorer can result in your computer infected with a virus or worm, then switching to Firefox is smart thing to do. Microsoft has also said that it is only going to fix problems with Internet Explorer on Windows XP only. Not everyone that visits VBgamer uses windows XP, so sorry, but there won't be any fix for people like me. I still use windows 2000. This is worth reading, link |

Yeah. Not the one you use to wash, though.
SOAP stands for "Simple Object Access Protocol", it's some universal protocol to store and retrieve all kinds of things trough XML, if I'm not mistaken.
Being a universal and open "whatever", of course M$ doesn't use it in IE. Stupid selfishness. Someone must throw a 100 pounds rock of "insert-something-open-and-universal-here" in M$' head so it sees it's something everyone around is using. |
Whatever. Who knows... |

M$ seems to think it has made the perfect browser. That's my take. Why else would they decide not to release any new versions except with new editions of their OS's?
Unfortunately for Microsoft, those greedy sonuvagunz that make Firefox, Opera, etc. keep proving that there is always more to be had, so Microsoft may have to give up that policy if they want to continue to be seen as a serious contender.
Of course, in my opinion they've already failed. They've demonstrated they have no drive of their own, so they'll always be playing catch up.

| Eric, I was trying to post a new tutorial yesterday, but I kept getting a ASP-error. Something in the nature of "Error line 45, object undefined". Could you please look into what's causing this problem? |
