Fixing stuff
by Paul 16/10/2000 - 12:52:08 (212.140.10.35)

Ok, I've been going through fixing and adding various things that have come up. So heres a list:
  • Coloured score numbering. Old site had 5.0=red, 4.5=orange, 4.0=yellow. Slight change to that since red on blue is blinding. All scores above 4.0 are in bold and are 5.0=orange, 4.5=yellow, 4.0=white.
  • Comment numbering is fixed.
  • Spaces removed from cgi links. Ownx spotted that problem. Shouldn't really have been a problem since the site ran on Kables Linux box in NutScrape, but better to be safe.
  • Visit counting should be sorted... I think.
  • Some proper stats on the stats page, see whos been reading what.
  • Change to User List. Now does two lists. One in alphabetical order and one by total visits. Goetzenzar asked for that.
  • Shouldn't download the cgi file when you've logged in/created an account anymore. Whoops...

Other things I ain't doing:

  • Screenshots of better quality. Since I'm only on a weedy 56.6k modem I have to upload them and the difference in size was shown last night when GrindSpire tried to send me nearly 10Mb's worth of jpegs. When compressed it came to 3Mb. Bit of a difference!
  • BSP Name in title. I'd like to that but that means an extra field for people to fill in.

Things that people noticed:

  • Moving screen shots. Bet that freaked some of you out first time that happened. Its deliberate and its something I wanted to add to Inspection but the ASP scared the crap out of me.
  • Knackered download links. I expect a fair few of those. So if you spot one, email me and I'll try to sort them out.
  • It filters out chaff in the titles. Stuff like ', ", etc... Its just a bitch to tidy up the SQL afterwards so I just do a pre-parse and take it all out :)
  • Reviews with no screenies. I went through a phase of removing them. Doh! I'll be putting them back in slowly and replacing the naff looking ones as well.
  • Cartoon icons, /me slaps excessus. I like 'em. They're not changing.

And since someone emailed about where the old site is, here are some links to it :
Funky Index.
Internet Explorer.
Netscape.

#6 Lynx friendly

I just browsed the site with lynx and had no navigational problems, which is extremely cool for people who spend half their time in a linux console. I know what a pain in the ass it can be trying to accommodate half a dozen different browsers. Man, this site rocks.
