How more RCT themed can you get? The colors, most of the icons, and the cartoons are all from RCT3...

oh, and maybe you should be able to edit your downloads. like, edit the description, add a screenshot (or remove one) and even remove it.

Already planned
I'm currently working on completely rewriting the entire code base, from scratch. The current code base is a mess to work with, as most of it is about 3 years old. And considering the original downloads center didn't have any relationship with the forums database, adding features related to users is a bit difficult, as when we did add it in, it was sort of done half-way, not as it should have been.By starting from scratch, I can include everything that's been requested so far, and more - that includes the ability to edit your uploaded downloads, multiple screenshots, comments, ratings, an improved downloads search, the ability to move a download from one section to another extremely easily, and the ability to request the deletion of your download. All of this is currently planned, with a bit of it already completed.
I don't know when it'll be completed, but when it is completed, it won't include a complete site redesign like 3.0 did - just an updated code base, with just a few pages (primarily the downloads center) changing.

Here is a very important change that should be added to the forums... which is why i still wonder why its not here. After each forum, there is a small link to the most recently posted in thread. If someone sees that the forum has new posts in it then they click that link first, and post in the thread. Ive noticed that if there are more than 1 posts in that forum then someone posts in the one under the link, but completely ignore the others and leaving them dead. If you include maybe 2 or 3 most recent posts (instead of 1) it would help people to see other cool threads that don't get canceled out by ones made afterwards. Probably would make the forums more active also.

That is what i was thinking. Belloman should definitely consider this.
RE: Taking Your Suggestions - Justin - Jan 11, 2009
That's not something I can do, unfortunately, as the forum software doesn't support it.

^oh and belloman, can you put an 800 x 600 cap on download pics? some of them are side scrollers!

Cmon man... that sounds like a bad idea. 800 x 600 cap isnt fair, becaue a lot of people are set to way higher then that. Screenshot limits would discourage people from posting screenshots because they have to go to all the trouble resizing them. If the screenshot is side scrolling, i suggest you raise your monitor resolution.
RE: Taking Your Suggestions - williamsoft man - Jan 11, 2009
^couldnt he implement something that automatically resizes them to 800 x 600?
