Today I have changed the comment system on all the sites from my own system to the Facebook one - in order to test Facebook's system. This means you do not need to register to post comments here, but with Facebook. The reason for this is to make it easier for anyone to post a comment on news. If ... » Read more

Forum changes

Today ive gave the forums a big tidy up. The main reason being the PS3 area - there were countless boards (none being used). My code would automatically create a new board for each PS3 game, this lead to 200+ boards being created. To combat this I had to add more code for genre's. This tidy up al ... » Read more

As you may or not know that my site had problems sending the confirmation email to hotmail/live/msn accounts. At first I though the problem was to do with the email itself, so I spent ages changing the layout/design. Nothing seem to work.

A new chat system
Posted by Roguey

3 comments

Ive been thinking about the old chat system today, after seeing the shoutbox over on x3dmod. I looked at pre-made systems (like facebook's activity system), however many of them had limits or forced you to register to post content. So I though why not code my own? The advantage to the shoutbox st ... » Read more

Blog section upgrade

I have spent some time upgrading the blog section of the site - has it was a bit of a mess and didnt fit the traditional blog theme. The main blog page now shows blogs by date rather than grouping by user-name. The old way meant your blog may not appear first (ie. newest) because of your usernam ... » Read more

Since my away time (building a new pc), ive been thinking about giving ranks to members rather than just a level... however I didnt want to do a boring list of normal ranks, so I thought about playing with the word Roguey. So now you gain Rank titles, rather than just numbers. I am also thinking abo ... » Read more

Today I thought of a new reward for level 8,+ users: Select font. This small reward allows you to select a font for your forum posts, comments and blogs. I thought this would allow you to customize your text more and hopefully not make it look 'messy'. We often write in own text styles on paper, but ... » Read more
