  1. It is a bug and real easy to fix. Happens when topics are moved. I'll fix it when I get on my laptop. Thanks for reporting :)
  2. Hey guys. This topic is about how to display the game development engines (rpg maker xp, rpg maker vx, etc.) on the board index (the forum homepage). The current structure is: Engines (the category) -RPG Maker VX ACE ---Support ---Tutorials ---Scripts RPG Maker XP ---Support ---Tutorials ---Scripts So as you can see, this is quite condensed. Here's a new concept: Support ---RPG Maker VX Ace ---RPG Maker XP Tutorials ---RPG Maker VX Ace ---RPG Maker XP Scripts ---RPG Maker VX Ace ---RPG Maker XP Here we have a category for each different type of function. Analysis The condensed forum looks neater but it is confusing for new users where things. The support forums being 3 levels down (category - parent forum -> support forum) does make it tricky for some. Similarly useful content such as tutorials may be harder to find. With the expanded forum structure these problems disappear, but new problems such as the perception of inactivity, particularly if we start supporting new engines (which is the plan) will arise, as well as taking up a lot more space on the board index. It may also eliminate forums for general discussion of the engine, eg. RPG Maker XP General Discussion, and such forums have proven popular places as well as when users are confused as to where a topic should go. At least, it doesn't make a lot of sense to have a whole category with individual forums for general discussion of each engine, does it? Please vote in the poll or leave a comment below :)
  3. Moved to GDU Bug Testing. All fixed, although the table isn't that aesthetically pleasing. It's too bad how chrome renders text, particularly the font icons.
  4. Moved to RPG Maker XP Support. *mod lag*
  5. Glad you like the design, but disappointed at the same time that's the only difference GDU appears to be right now :( That reminds me, to whoever posted on the facebook page: I deleted the comment because I want to wait a week or so until I make an official announcement. I said that in the first post, I know its a bit long and people probably skim it. The reason is because I want to get rid of as many bugs as possible then announce it on social media. Definitely. I've got plans more for design tweaks rather than themes. For example, choose your default colour, change the pagination style, etc. I will also have features for setting the layout width so that people with larger screens can go above the 980px. Right now I'm thinking of the more points you have the more stuff you can unlock, including unlocking the ability to tweak the GDU design. I'm glad I've got your approval for the logo :D Right now of course i can only afford time to bug fixes until November, last exam on the 9th :D Gotta study all day every day till then, I've got an insane workload for uni not to mention work. I may as well mention, this is so far is probably 15-20% of what I plan do to with GDU.
  6. Only took 21 months :P And the forum is only a small part of the plan.
  7. As ForeverZer0 said above the Scrive has been dead for years. This topic probably hasn't been updated in 3 years. You're betting off searching for what you want, and you're free to make a topic script requests forum :) Topic closed.
  8. Hey everyone, Due to time restraints I have opted to skip the testing phase of GDU and go live right away. It's a bit of a risk but hopefully one that pays off. Unfortunately I cannot spare much more time until November which is when my exams finish up. It's really important to note that this is a premature release and there are going to be a lot of bugs around. The main menu is also a bit bare and there are tons of features in the works but not ready to go live. As I've said a few times, try to see the potential. The GDU system is primed for speedy application development which means sections such as the games section can be developed really quickly. As a reminder of what's planned for the future, check this out http://www.gdunlimit...ssion-statement Getting the forums to work is a real mission and quite a unique challenge. While there are going to be bugs and things not operating around the forums, the rest of GDU should operate much more smoothly because it will all be built using the GDU system, unlike the forums which is built into it. So the plan is this: work my way through user reported bugs and at the end of November when the forum is a much more stable state, begin work on the core features of the GDU concept such as the dashboard, games section and new profiles. Also note that this is not the final design or UI. I've spent most of my time on integration and getting functionality working. The design is almost definitely going to change. As for letting people know about GDU, the plan is this: Wait a week or so for bug reports. It's essential things work so that when people come they want to stay. After that I will make announcements on the facebook and twitter. As for bulk emailing our members, right now I'm thinking I ought to wait until more sections of GDU are opened. Right now we're mainly a forum, and there's a couple million of those around. I would really appreciate bug reports. Just poor them into this topic. I will try my best with the little time I have. I mainly want to get the most sever issues fixed first and just ensure everything is working as it should be. The is the first step of a new era for RMXPU/GDU :) EDIT: Also now that the email system is working, I recommend existing users change your preferences to what you want to be emailed for (eg, replies to your topics): http://www.gdunlimited.net/forums/index.php?app=core&module=usercp&tab=core&area=notifications
  9. How did you find that Ark? One bored summer I mess around and make that website and still beats this one for scripts :(
  10. This is an intro topic though.. if you want to get it out there I'd recommend posting in the games forum.
  11. Sigh... those damn earthquakes have really messed things up with my education. My uni is turning to crap... :'(

      "lightning struck the building I was sitting a test in and set the alarms off" - see what I mean lol. One day in elementary school, there was a elec fire and we had to stand outside in lines for pretty much the entire day while they rewired the school

  12. Of 4000 visits to GDU, only 1.56% where using IE lower than 9. This is good :D

      Google Chrome and IE are my only browsers. They all work the same to me so I don't really see the difference other then the GUI.

      I find chrome super quick but i think it caches like crazy? I use firefox for the web dev tools I've got. Probably could get them in chrome. Also I sync my firefox between computers so its the same. You can sync both bookmarks and plugins automatically.

      I've just never been big on IE. It's so easy to see how far behind IE is. Like when looking at things that require browers. It'll be like requires IE8 or FF3. And FF is on 15 now so you can see the difference haha.

  13. Welcome to the rmxpu, please enjoy your stay :alright:
  14. I'm so screwed for this test >.> So many pages to read, understand, and make notes for.

  15. Do you mean topics that were necro posted in? Either a moderator missed them or they are within the rules by adding value to the topics. For example, say I post a script in 2007 and someone asks a question in 2010 that is answered in 2011, then every visitor in 2012 with that same problem is going to have the answer right there.
  16. Isaacol is the host manager, so really I'm the only admin who takes care of that stuff. I'd like to disable the editor and go back to the old one, but for now we're stuck with this editor which actually does write html in order to show what some bbcode will look when posted. The html is converted to bbcode when sent to the database and then back to html when displayed, so there's no security risk. I'm pretty confident of that. Sometimes it messes up and you cans see the html tags and things, I've got that a few times. Are those errors gone for you now? I'm assuming they're random.
  17. Hey there, welcome to RMXPU :alright: I can't recall having a member from Switzerland post before
  18. Welcome to RMXPU :alright: Good to see you finally decided to post.
  19. New Zealand does have the luxury of being too small to matter. No one would attack us (unless our allies lost, I would imagine), no one ever has, so there's no reason for NZ to have nuclear weapons. The US's justification was that NZ should do their part in the world for "peace", and it was a matter of standing up to a bully and taking the consequences. NZ doesn't stand up to wrong anymore. It bends over. We let the FBI invade our country and shit on ours laws (the arrest of Kim Dotcom, who i hope sues our government). That's what happens when you elect a multi millionaire to a Prime Minister. What does a person with too much money want? Power. He's a corrupt prick. Now I'm getting off topic
  20. Ok, made a start on these. Thoughts?
  21. I'll be looking for testers within a week or so for the new site. I'll probably approach the most active members for the job.
