It dosn't show up on "Latest Tutorials" and there was a few minor inconviences and some lack of infomation when writing the tutorial, but other than that the new tutorial/article system looks great. Kind of like GameDev and Gamasutra's with the page-menu.

The tutorials section, like everything else at VBgamer requires a moderator to approve it before it's visible.

What was inconvenient and what needed more information? |

Oh, right! I'm glad that you approved my tutorial :)

- Sometimes the [url]-tag didn't work unless it was [url=blahblah].
- I think, that a page header and next/previous page-link should be added whenever a new-page-tag is created. It wasn't clear how you should link to other pages in the tutorial/article.
- The [code]-tag is also a bit strange. To have one line of space between text and code both before and after the code box, I had to write it like so:
Line of text.
(code-tag)
Line of code.
(/code-tag)Line of text.
- Same problem with headers - they also automaticly adds a line of space below it.
- When inserting tags using the menu, the tags are inserted at the buttom and not around the selected text.
- It isn't very clear that you have to click the "Insert file"-button to both upload the file and add the file to the tutorial. I first created a link to the url displayed for the file, but that didn't work.
- Is it intentional that it's possible to change your "User ID"?
- External links opens in the same window instead of in a new one. But right now, I also have links to other pages in the tutorial using the [url]-tag, and they should open in the same window. |

Thanks for the feedback! I'll see what I can do to fix those problems.
I had planned on adding an automatic navigation area at the bottom of the tutorial, but I guess I forgot about it,  .
I don't think the user ID field allows you to change it. I had planned on it, so that if someone wanted the ID could be changed to someone else and allow that person to take ownership of the tutorial or article.
For external links, don't you mean they should open in new windows?  |

The code tag works differently now. Code listings are numbered. The script that colors the code and comments won't work with this numbered listing since the span tags it uses format text on multiple lines. It's something that I'll fix, but right now it's really late and I need to get some sleep.
More comments and suggestions are welcome! Thanks! |

There is now a slightly different layout, some minor formatting changes, and now a printer friendly version. Also, page links are automatically generated for multiple page documents, and headers within the document are also used for navigation (the links and tags are created automatically). Also, the latest comment that someone posts is displayed in the side column.
