Thanks for noticing, fixed, works as intended now :), seems multi-quoting is still a little iffy will work on that sometime soon.

Although one thing with the new pagination, shall i add a double arrow at the start to go back to page 1 easily?

It'd be useful, yes. And maybe another double arrow at the end to go to the last page?

Two things about the Sales page:

1) I've tried to put some games' prices in USD/EUR/GBP but it seems that the Price column has a fixed width and the text didn't fit. Could that width be enlarged (or maybe let free) please?

2) About the images I used, some of them I took from deviantART (the ones for the Trine games, mostly). While one of them had the explicit permission from its creator to be used in any way with no restrictions, the creators of the other ones didn't say anything about this. I looked at deviantART's [copyright policy](http://about.deviantart.com/policy/copyright/) but it seems more about not uploading copyrighted material to their website than the other way round.
So, do you know if we could eventually be in any trouble for this?

Okay added a double arrow pointer if your above page 1 to go back to page 1, works great :)

Yeah, that's heaps better :D (though I still have no idea what the original intended behaviour was >_< )

If you're keen, a double arrow to jump to the last page might be worthwhile as well (as suggested earlier by muntdefems).
Liam Dawe 11 Apr 2013
Well I can add an ending double arrow if really needed (although you can just click the last page number anyway...).

I may just add it in for completeness though...

I hadn't realized the number brought you to the last page! No need for another double arrow then.

Yeah - better to have some redundancy than have stuff that people might miss, IMO.

To editors - do you like/see a need for the authors bio box on articles? Should we keep it or remove it for the new design?

If removed from the new design it would of course remain on your actual profiles. Starting to think the articles should really focus on the article and comments and not the author so much.

Comments?
muntdefems 14 Apr 2013
I don't know what to say on this one... Authors' bios don't annoy me, as long as they are concise and no longer than 2-3 lines, and I don't think they divert the reader's attention from the article and the comments.

What I would do (if possible) is to not show the bio if it hasn't been filled up.
Liam Dawe 14 Apr 2013
Yes I need to make a limit on them and hide ones that aren't filled out I think.
Cheeseness 14 Apr 2013
I say keep them, but give them a smaller font and avatar size than the rest of the article and comments.

I think the size of my bio box already states my opinion on them. :|

Hey I gotta check these things :)
Liam Dawe 16 Apr 2013
Okay I’ve hidden bio box for anyone who hasn't filled it out.

Hey, who deleted IndieGameStand's Guns of Icarus Online sale? :huh:

By the way, I must report the 'Add Sale' form inside the Admin CP doesn't work. It takes your submission (except the sale provider dropdown, which shows no options) but it doesn't publish the sale. The only way to add a sale is submitting it the normal way and accepting it afterwards from the 'Submitted Sales' option in the Admin's CP.
Liam Dawe 18 Apr 2013
I did as it was reported, i went to the site and it did say not available, IGS must have had a hiccup :(

I will look into the bug! I will also make it so we editors even if using the form on the page get auto-accepted on sales.
