Indeed it will be implemented eventually :)

Titles now only need to be 20 characters long, 35 was too long a lot of the time.

Hate to say 'I told you so', but... I told you so! :P

btw, what's next on the agenda?

Not sure, will cherry pick from my TODO on what I feel like doing :P

Is there something you desperately want?

Alex V.Sharp 16 Sep 2013
Nothing that desperately. :whistle:
I'm currently, in my spare time, focusing on some site visuals.
So personally I welcome anything that helps with that.

If you are to share that TODO list we could possibly help to pick what should be of higher priority?
Liam Dawe 16 Sep 2013
Honestly a lot of it is random back end stuff that won't make sense to anyone but me so it's really not worth sharing.

You can now edit users from the admin panel.
You can set a user as a game developer to give them the game developer badge (anyone got any thoughts on how developers can easily request this status?).

Secured forum posts from naughty code some more just in case.

Added checking for "http://" on people's websites they have set, a few people kept missing it so this will make sure to prevent errors :)

Just in case it slips you by, don't forget to check for https:// too.

I actually didn't mean it specifically checks for http://. Uses parse_url to check for the scheme and if empty adds it in.

Hey guys, I wasn't sure where to post this so I thought I'd post it here. I may be really late but just in case I'm not: [Link](http://www.crytek.com/career/offers/overview/frankfurt/programming-engineering/linux-programmer)

Adjusted quote style to fit in with the site more, think it looks really good now, also removed it's default css bottom margin as it was annoying. Also fixes a minor issue with quoting names on multiple quotes.
muntdefems 27 Sep 2013
I really dig the new quote format! :)

We now use and have been approved by twitter to use their fancy "cards" system, it shows your twitter user (if you have it set on your usercp on the twitter username bit) and the articles tagline image, title and description on the gol twitter feed.

Thanks to @piratelv for doing most of the work.

PM's are now editable. Editors can edit anyones, normal users can only edit theirs.
Liam Dawe 12 Oct 2013
-People can tick from the UserCP if they wish to remain anonymous as a game developer (Hamish requested it is a privacy issue)
-Shows who submitted a sale when reviewing new submissions (muntdefems asked this ages ago)
-If you are an editor or admin on the sales page you no longer have to report a sale, you can just delete it directly so if you know a sale ended it's less hassle to go all the way to admin->sales
--manage sales etc, users still see a report button though of course.
Liam Dawe 12 Oct 2013
You can now disable the sales page images if you wish from your UserCP.

I like how this makes it sound like I was making a complaint, but anyway... :P

Meant nothing by it.
