I miss the blog-style front page (gone as of 4 mar 2009). It made it easy to refresh the page to see if there was a new post right there at the top.

Okay, I didn't know if it woudl be recieved well. I'm trying something, obviously. I'll try something different then.

[JavaJack]

Yay! 

[Cymon]

Glad you approve. I figure it's the best of both worlds.

I feel like it needs to be re-written. I'll give it some time to see.

I would love some tutorials on C and C++! It would be awesome!

[idontexist]

i300: there are tons of those on the internet already. Just Google it.

I was hoping I wouldn't be every other post on these boards. Ah well.

I totally plan on doing tutorials. Then I'm going to package those tutorials with the programs into books. However, I don't plan on putting those tutorials online because, as James said there are already tons of them online. I've even recommended a few of them on the site, just do a search for "tutorials".

I seem to recall was a good one...  If you want a book I totally recommend...

http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Language-Prentice-Hall-Software/dp/0131103628

But it is fairly expensive considering it's size, it is however a very good book (in my opinion anyways).

Anyways back on topic, how about a compliments box ?  I like the new theme .

[Ratfink]

I think the background image should say

Code:

return 0;

instead of

Code:

return 1;

as it's standard for 0 to mean exit with success and 1 to mean an error (well, any non-zero value is an error, but the program can use them to mean different errors).
EDIT: Shouldn't the C++ hello world program have a ; after using namespace std ?

A "logout" button.
if there already is one, somewhere make it bigger.
I can't find it  .

[Cymon]

Hmm, You're right. This theme doesn't have any log out button anywhere I can see. Well that's inconvenient.

I hate playing with the theme of the forums. It's not as straight forward as Wordpress by any stretch. I'll look into it.

Could you make attachments downloadable for unregistered users? I just made a post where I inlined some attached images, but I notice that the images won't appear if one isn't logged in. Another reason I ask is so that unregistered users can download the zipped-up mapsets that I sometimes post.

I find it weird that there's no indication that attachments even exist, when you're not logged in.

I didn't even know this was an issue. I'll look into it.

I think I fixed it. lemme know if I didn't.
