Perhaps a pop-up window or an email if you have a new message? I liked that about the old forum (though I definitely did not like how the indicator on a page that you had a pm would disappear if you didn't notice it the first time it was displayed).

I heard that was mostly FUD from microsoft, probably to use as an excuse to not support webGL. Read this: http://my.opera.com/haavard/blog/2011/06/22/microsoft

A few choice quotes:

"Microsoft's criticism would sound a little less hollow if they weren't doing the exact same thing with Silverlight that they are criticizing WebGL over. And lo and behold, a Denial of Service vulnerability in Silverlight 5 of the same type that Microsoft was overly concerned about with WebGL recently surfaced."

"Even people at Microsoft do not buy it."

I also recall hearing a bunch of the security issues have already been resolved.

Regardless, do those demos in Lucid's link actually use webGL or are they purely HTML5 canvas?

Are there any tools for sound "sculpting/morphing" that they could recommend for people getting started in sound design, hopefully that are easy to use and relatively inexpensive for those of us with small budgets? Or tools that are good for coming up with a unique sounding instrument for a synthesizer?

Basically - where do they recommend someone new to sound design to start?

Sounds similar to this:

scirra.com/forum/images-do-not-appear_topic43483.html
Is it the same bug?

Err... whoops! Sorry about that. I guess all the links need to be updated then, from:

http://www.scirra.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=7468

to

That was because of the forum switch. The examples can be accessed in the old forum:

Jamesx: perhaps you should add the link above to the thread on the old forum in your first post?

As a moderator and a rabid scirra fan, I want to read basically everything on the site. If someone replies to someone else though that still makes it easy for us moderators to miss stuff without repeatedly checking every tutorial, blog post and such on the site.

As such, the new comments idea sounds great if it shows all new comments not just replies to your comments, especially great if it's integrated into the new posts section!

Or even better: what if the 'new posts' section was more like a 'new activity' section? So if any new blog posts, tutorials, versions, forum posts or comments were made, they all show up in one place?

Edit: Ergh, ninja'd. Well, it was a thought.
