There definately seems to be an issue with the Forum, when I click on any of the "View New Posts" buttons (), I get a "No new posts since your last visit" message.

I would like to see a tabbed chat system; however, I think there should be an "All" tab, where the text from all channels is displayed and color coded based upon the originating channel.

It's not so much for existing members as it is for prospective members, to show them that this is an active community.

I suggest board administrators post news to the homepage of "The Mana World" website more frequently, to show visitors how active the project really is. I think this would further improve overall interest in the project.

I think the tab approach is visually more pleasing, easier to use for new players, and faster to switch channels; however, the drop down list will allow for significantly more channels than the tabbed approach (due to GUI limitations). If there will be more than a handful of channels, the dropdown l...

Most UDP implementations build a reliable messaging stack on top of the UDP protocol, essentially simulating TCP for packets that require reliable transmission. This has the advantage of being able to send reliable and unreliable packets when appropriate. There's an interesting article about Half-Li...

Sounds good. I'll make sure the new design is ready and the site is cut into HTML well in advance of that date (for integration). Will the character sprites be finished by then? I think it would be pretty cool to incorporate them into the forum in place of (or by the) avatar pictures. So people can ...

Would it be possible to show the date updated for each gallery? This would make it easier to check out the new stuff.

Bjørn, the new site is definately a significant improvement and I really like the new color scheme. Keep up the good work. :D I like the newer one because it looks really professional, but it still seems a bit naked on the sides. Thanks. I own a web-design company and I've been desi...

The current preview is: http://themanaworld.org/newwebsite/ Uh, oh... :cry: All I get is the following when I try to view it: Warning: placeheader(header.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/groups/t/th/themanaworld/htdocs/newwebsite/includes/common.php on line 10 Warning...

How about something like this: http://work.hypertek.net/verious/mana_world_concept_layout_1.jpg This is just a quick rendition, it doesn't include all of the navigation/buttons/banners, but I can take the design further if there is interest. EDIT: Some of the colors appear to be slightly off due to ...
