    Emuholic's Game Blog Now Open

    Which one? there's loads of them now :) I haven't done a proper review for any indie games yet, but it would be cool to do a Battle of the massager games article :)

    The Mobile Site Sucks!

    iPhone Touch is a different setting in the skin options, ED will need to disable it for the touch as well. to ED - the best thing to do is to switch off the forcing of mobile devices to lo-fi skin (same process as described in above post) and enable members to choose their skin. this way...

    Emuholic's Game Blog Now Open

    Thanks for the feedback on the site. To combat the trap of posting every bit of news I added a News Bytes section on the right column which is just the title and link of the news for say a new DLC. Then every couple of days I post a round up of news, feedback on this seems to be good and saves...

    Emuholic's Game Blog Now Open

    Hope it is not too off topic :) In between the occasional bit of coding I started a new Emuholic/Emuboards sister website dedicated to mainly to Xbox 360 stuff. It only opened earlier this week but you can already find a couple of reviews, my impressions of the forthcoming 360 Dashboard Update...

    How Do We Decide?

    I reckon devs should have the first 100. The reason why is they can get busy writing software which can be ready for when the following batches are released. If non devs get the first 100 they will be bored after a few days as there wont be much available for it. A good example is the Wiz, devs...

    Let Us Use The Old Design

    Once the forum software has been out a bit longer there will be many skins to choose from, in fact Invision recently held a competition to design new skins. The new skin does take a bit of getting used to but I have been using it for a few weeks on my test server and I have got used to it now...

    Pms, 5 Minute Delay?

    I also had to do a delay on my forums PM as the spammers have got a new tactic of instead of posting on the forums they spam members via PM. We had something like 30,000 PMs sent to members over a short period of time. The delay makes it harder for them and is easier to spot than if sent all in...

    Blurp - The GP32X Downtime Status Thread

    WarmFluffyUK - If you can pass this onto Hando that would be great. You can disable the Rich Text Edit in the Admin panel. Go to "Tools & Settings" tab then scroll down and choose "Topics, Posts and Polls" link. Scroll down again and near the bottom is "Allow members to use Rich Text Editing?"...

    Blurp - The GP32X Downtime Status Thread

    Re: Blurp. Hando has probably tried this already, but just in case he has not I thought I would mention it. You can manually rebuild the skin cache in the Admin pages. You can find it on "Look & Feel" tab then "Skin Tools" link on the side then on the find "Rebuild Skin Set Cache" near the...

    Should We Move? - Forum Transfer Discussion

    The Invision forum license is $25 every 6 months. This allows you to download updates, get support etc. It is probably the cheapest thing on the list, a server upgrade will be costly. I do not know prices off hand and it also depends if his current host allows own servers or you have to buy/rent...

    Should We Move? - Forum Transfer Discussion

    Hando - I am not sure what version of Invision forum software you are using, i think its quite old as the newer member profile page isn't showing (unless you disabled it). The latest version will mostly fix problems with spam bots registering and mass sending private mails which is a big issue...

    Should We Move? - Forum Transfer Discussion

    RenegadeChic - I mostly agree. A poll would be the right idea normally but in this case it will not solve anything. This site will still be broke and put under a lot of pressure when the new consoles are out. This will affect everyone, you will not be able to visit this site because it will be...

    Should We Move? - Forum Transfer Discussion

    They have tried offering more reliable hosting for gp32x. Hando would have still 'owned' the site, it is only on a different server to the current one which is owned by someone else as far as I know, so there would be no change on that basis. I like GP32x, dont get me wrong, but I cant see the...

    Should We Move? - Forum Transfer Discussion

    I hardly think they are freeloading. Offers have been made to host and run the forum in Handos absence and they have been ignored.

    Should We Move? - Forum Transfer Discussion

    Im all for the forums being moved for a number of reasons. First is the first sign of an increase in traffic the site is offline for days, moving to a new server will fix this. Secondly, the forum is terribly broken now, only hando can fix it and he doesnt seem to be interested. This could...
