Hey,

Just to let you guys know that we've increased our video processing quality. So expect better looking videos!

And we need to upgrade our video player... Aware of that... Needs to be bigger, and be able to expand to full screen. Always room for improvements...

Enjoy!

Ok so the next in line is also the new slightly changed public member page:
http://www.strategyinformer.com/tests/public_page_new_v1.jpg

* It will show more info per visitor actions (reviews, files, commets and the usual)
* Guestbook where other members can leave messages to your public page (you'll have an option of deleting the messages)

Ok thoughts people? Shall I send this in or would you suggest any changes?

Thanks!

Ok we've went through the points change "somewhat" smoothly, and it's now time to move on with new stuff.

Apart from content replies/comments feature that I've already spoke about, I'm adding new things to next wave of work.

Here's an upgrade to our Blogs pages, and sidebar member info boxes that will also then have to catch up by a complete change of members public pages; but for now please do let me know if you like this:
http://www.strategyinformer.com/tests/blogs_new.jpg

So compare that with what we currently have for blogs. This would then take over the blogs "engine". And:

- We would be able to add one main image thumb to appear in the top left side of the blog
- We would have couple of text styles to put over the text as you can see on the sample
- We would be able to upload xx of images to go along with the blog and it would appear as attached images on the bottom of the blog article, as can be seen in the sample

Let me know please of any bad or good critics! Especially bad ones!

Thanks,

Hey guys,

Terribly sorry, but coders have neglected to include user comments posts into your total points pool. That has been done now and we had to adjust user ranks and points:

I just got here 0 10
SI Newbie 10 50
SI Veteran Newbie 50 100
SI Member 100 200
SI Veteran Member 200 400
SI Core Member 400 600
SI Core Veteran 600 800
SI Core 800 2000
SI Elite 2000 20000

There is a big gap from SI Core to SI Elite. Since I didn't wanted to add 30 ranks like we had, but do it in a more elegant, narrow frame. So each rank could be more appreciated once achieved. Not just that, but we will be taking extra care of our Elite members. Such as discounts at our upcoming digi store, or whatever else comes up. Other members of course wont be neglected either!

Do you think the gap is too big? Thoughts overall?

As announced, and with a slight delay, we bring you the new points structure! Glourious as it is.

So from this point on, only these actions will bring the stated amount of points:

Posting a comment - 2 points
Posting a blog - 2 points
Posting a file (approved member file upload) - 5 points
Posting a score for any game - 1 point
Posting a text review for game - 3 points

As part of this, all members points were reset and recalculated by this new structure.

If anybody notices any problems please do let me know!

Thanks,
