  • Most new websites get launched ... working...

    Edited your post to remove the aggressiveness, this is a warning to you if you don't post more constructively and less aggressively you will get a temp ban from the forum.

    Happy to receive constructive criticism.

    I'm proud of what I've done, people are posting and conversing on here. It's working. It's different. I'm working on improving it a lot. Just be patient.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Releasing "early and often" is fine for things where you can continue using the old one if the new one gets broken. I'd probably change that policy for website stuff.

    New forum is functional, faster and far more reliable. I anticipated fixing formatting and some broken links would be solved quicker, but apart from that "broken" seems like completely the wrong word.

    The old forum has regular outages, painfully slow page loads & regularly logged people out.

  • Fixed

  • Yes, you're right and I will work to restore these. The timing is unfortunate as I'll be away for a couple of weeks on a much needed break but this is important to me to fix.

  • From everyone at Scirra thank you for your kind comments!

  • Great... just read the old private messages were removed a few weeks ago ....

    Not so great really ... had lots of messages with references in there....

    We announced they would be removed a few weeks ahead of when we did it.

    The forum is in shambles .... what a lousy transition .. this happened a few years ago to ...

    There's issues yes, but they are being resolved. Before you can make something better it has to work, and we always release early and often. It happened a few years ago to because moving from forum software to forum software is really tricky, we went WebWiz -> PHPBB -> Custom. There are no premade import/export tools for any of those transitions.

    Perhaps hire a professional web developer? Ashley

    That would be me, and we've also just hired Phill a new web developer. So you'll see lots of changes throughout the year.

    What else about the forum is in "shambles" apart from formatting and search not yet available? Seems like hyperbole to me, it's working, it's far more reliable and faster than previously. There are issues, but they'll be ironed out over time.

  • You can do [img=https://www.construct.net/out?u=https%3a%2f%2fi.imgur.com%2fYOghrnM.png]

  • That URL starts /es/en, remove on of them or both of them.

    Is there a link causing that every time for you?

  • Pushing update now for old URL's 404ing (ETA 10 min). If you still get 404's, clear your caches.

  • You do not have permission to view this post

  • Yes this is fixed, is a recurring issue which should now be resolved.

  • People who want to do something more serious than single-day games, look at the engine's capabilities and the policies of its authors, shake their heads

    What policies specifically?

    The authoritarian approach has its positive sides

    Don't mistake directness for authoritarianism. I really don't see how anyone can say any one on the team is authoritarian.

  • Actually i purchased C3 prior to the discount message and sent in an email to ask if i could get a refund on my purchase, never got a response, probably "lost in the email" world

    We strive to answer every email promptly, yours should of been replied to. Do email us again or me directly on tomdqx@scirra.com and I'll look into it for you.

  • Old forums are not coming back, but let me see if I can fix those 404's.

  • Ads no longer show for logged in users.

    Also, all post formatting should now be fixed as much as possible. There will be an issue with VERY OLD post links.
