CloseIt's been far too long since I've had any real time to devote to the site, but finally this upcoming week I should have some. I am going to try to implement some of the upgrades and enhancements we've been talking about since... October probably? Whenever the last time I did any significant updates. Sure, we've had some minor updates and bugfixes since then (mostly by ankylo), but now I am going to try to do some of the enhancements.
I plan on revisiting all of our discussion threads and my notes tomorrow to get a sense of where I'm at and where the site's at and what I want to focus on. In the meantime, just now I update the site's codebase. It was mostly to fix some Google Ads errors I was generating, but I also decided to bump up the thumbnail image size for the Frontpage, Development Portal and Games Portal (as... alterego suggested...? I can't quite recall.)
Do a hard refresh if things are still looking wonky.
Anywho, stay tuned to this thread this week as my work progresses!
Oh yeah! I am trying out a site skin on the frontpage from Game Advertisers Online. It is only apparent if you aren't logged in. I am just trying this out to see how it goes. Eventually, I hope to mimic something like that but for the featured game, and site-wide...

I assume this is why gameprofile images are now appearing on the same line as the game profile navigation bar! death to floats

Could we get the recent posts button back under the Community menu at the top? I have no idea where it went.

God yes, put that thing back. Please :|
If we should axe something from the community dropdown list I'd cut forums. The community portal is forums+1 with some horizontal space used for better thing while others like a list of statuses and posts show more than what you can see with just the portal.
There's an archives list in the footer right now, but I will put it back into that dropdown if you guys insist, next update.
author=GreatRedSpiritshould I change it back then? It was pages that had too many tab items that cause weird issues that I was tryung to fix...

PLEASE, somebody with some pull with the management....please say something to make our God put the number of downloads in bold and back on the left with the title or at least, near it.. :)

I'd suggest adding:
#game_navigation { clear: both; }
e: weird, now it isn't working? I screwed something up somewhere.
e2: Oh, there's both blocks and floats in use here which are messing with each other. I'll have to think about this.
e3: What did you change anyways?
I'm change it back in the meantime.
e:
removed height: 20px and added float: left. clear; both was already there.

author=LinkisWhy is that? I kind of like it on the right with the number of reviews. It's less cluttered imho.

Ahhh. I tested some changes and these work well:
Removing the navigation from the horrible world of floats. I'm actually surprised it has to be an inline-float else the floating image container gets wrapped instead of placed in the next block. height:auto; is just to replace the height:20px so we can support better dynamic sized navigation sizes. Here's a test of the CSS code in action on an image with a wrapping game navigation.
Death to floats
e:
Tested on a non-oversides and hahahaha fuck me. I'll think on this some more.
e2: Oh, it's being placed after the game_strip because of course.
e3: My solution to css of making everything an inline-block seems to have worked again!
Oversized example
Non-oversized
e4: there is the question of "how many game profile custom css will break when changing two elements from floats to inline-blocks" which I can't really answer too. I'll have to think of how to make it work more dynamically if possible.
e5: How do I get the 'Save to Dropbox' to appear? It showed up on chrome when I went to Moon Base Mario but it doesn't appear on Altima or Demons' Gate. Also I'm not logged in on rmn on chrome so, uh, I'm confused. (but it does help answer the question of 'what custom css will break' because Moon Base Mario is one)
e6: holy fuck I think I am still drunk because I haven't touched Moon Base Mario's css e7: well until I added my above code into it and it looks a bit better now
#game_navigation { display: inline-block; height: auto; }

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

There are two different buttons. One is "Save to Dropbox" which appears when you are not logged in and uses Dropbox's JS widget and the other is "Send to Dropbox" which appears when you are logged in. That uses a queue system built into RMN and the Dropbox API.
In general conversation me and Liberty came up with a whole bunch of suggestions for overhauling some of the gamepage features the other day. Are game page functionality overhauls even on the table? (overhaul is probably a strong word - it's more like "augmentation/alteration")
author=kentona
but I also decided to bump up the thumbnail image size for the Frontpage, Development Portal and Games Portal (as... alterego suggested...? I can't quite recall.)
Hey Kentona, I'm not a coder so most of what GreatRedSpirit is saying is gobbledegook to me, but in regard to the thumbnails on the front page; because you've increased them there is now a blank space on the right panel opposite the latest screen-shots section. It looks a little odd, a void where everything around it is busy. May I suggest that you may have to increase the number of reviews/articles/media/blogs displayed to 5 to make use of the space, or put in another 'latest' section.

I just saw that since I'm not logged in at work when I first visit each day. Totally threw me off! I think it looks fine, though. I think it meshes with the site design better than the little Google ad (I forgot how jarring it looks since I never see it).
Can't wait to see what your tinkerings do!
author=nhubiI noticed that space when I did that, but I just threw a box-shaped google ad in there. If you are a donor, that ad is hidden! (or if you have adblock, it is hidden).author=kentonaHey Kentona, I'm not a coder so most of what GreatRedSpirit is saying is gobbledegook to me, but in regard to the thumbnails on the front page; because you've increased them there is now a blank space on the right panel opposite the latest screen-shots section.

I haven't decided all that I want to change/add yet, so the ad is probably just a temporary measure.
author=NewBlackProbably! I can't remember what you guys talked about and I will be reviewing it today, but I intend to add a couple features like:

-ability to specify which elements appear on the main page (latest review/latest blog/latest images/latest media, etc...)
-a list of Playlists this game belongs to

There is now an Archives section in the footer.
author=Yellow Magicyou kids these days and your "social networks"
Like button for everything plz
E:
also, got called into doing some last minute work today, so won't have chance to work on site. Try again tomorrow.
Since you denied my first request cause you hate me :(
Not sure about others, but when I saw the number of downloads on the left with the other info, I knew there was a download available.
Is is possible to put a notice of some kind on the left that tells us the game is in fact downloadable...or maybe make the numbers of downloads BOLD.
Thank you my kind leader :)
