Playing your own game over and over again is the worst part of development. Also, hai.

Thanks, it works like a charm. Maybe people need to look a little better.

Does anyone have a gamefile in his Newgrounds Project folder thing he or she can invite me as a beta-tester for? It could even be a blank .swf for all I care, or something you simply have lying about. Out of the 30 people I have sent a beta invite so far I think only 2 or so managed to get it to work, so I'm curious as to how it works from the tester's side. Many thanks and hugs in advance.

Cutesy, thanks for the effort, splendid use of gradients. However not quite what I wanted :) What I would like someone to do is: Go to their Project System > Select a Project from there > click Preview > and then at the bottom left add me as a beta tester. I think that is the way people are supposed to invite testers to projects.

This is one of those questions I toss around in my head... Are the forums less active because there are more of them, or would the forums have died down regardless as a result of the growing means of communication via social networks and other niche sites.

I'm pretty sure that's also part of the reason (and it's probably also my perception because I'm getting old), but all the more reasons not to spread out an already thinning out community over a bunch of forums. Less forums > more active forums > more interesting forums > more activity?

Since the Flash forum is where all the game development discussion is already happening, would it be too much of a shock to the system if the Flash forum BECAME the Game Development forum?

Nah. With all due respect, and I'm really interested in your long term plans for Newgrounds, but I think Flash is slowly but surely dying out. The time seems right for re-naming the forum ;)

Just this past week I was wondering how Newgrounds was doing, with the rise of apps and the decline of Flash and whatnot, I come here and I see the 'Support Newgrounds' thing. Kinda depressing.

Wow, this board has become really slowwwwww...

Umm...I'm sure he appreciates that comment?

i'm actually 4'10'' everyone else is just REALLY short

i'm 6'5''

In that case you're only an inch taller than me. I guess everyone's just really short then.

Belated congratulations to team Closure, I voted for you guys. Also Glaiel appears to be pretty fucking huge.

Yeah, I just posted the exact same thing in the redesign thread: It would be nice if we could turn off the background art. It looks cool for a couple of hours, and I'm sure lots of people here have fapped to it, but its too uneasy to the eyes imo. And every time I go on NG to do some semi-serious work I feel like I ended up on a site for 13-year olds. Which maybe NG is, I don't know. Anyway, it's even more awkward now when I surf NG when I'm at uni/work.

Being able to turn the background art off is pretty high on my list of redesign things that could be tweaked.

One small issue/question: is there a way beta-testers can see what projects they are allowed to beta test, or are they supposed to memorize the link to the game? I've been looking around for a bit, but I still haven't found a place where I can see which projects I was invited to as a beta tester.

Actually, let's make it two: having to delete all the quoted text every time you make a new forum post is going to be annoying. I know it has been mentioned a lot, but yeah...

Okay, three: I would be nice if we could turn off the background art. It looks cool for a couple of hours, and I'm sure lots of people here have fapped to it, but its too uneasy to the eyes imo.

As do I :) Looks like the Project part works again, lots of things to fiddle around with over there. I actually had a friend build a test environment for my future projects, but I guess I might as well switch to this. I'm just curious to see how giving feedback on beta versions works, I'll try and test that with an alt.

Too bad the Project System is down, I was anxious to try that out today. I have an actual game that could need some testing.

Also, shmexy icons.

I've only had the chance to mess around with the new design on a desktop pc for a few minutes and my first impression is positive. I must say the change is bigger than I thought it would be. There's a very distinct move towards more graphical info instead of text, for instance in only being able to see the title of the games and movies when you move the mouse over the thumbs (instead of seeing the title next to a game, I think this is could be a pain on mobile devices). Also the focus on the score of the submissions appears to have vanished completely. I think I find that change the strangest change of all the things I've seen so far. I'm sure it's an attempt to draw more viewers to lesser quality game, but I'm interested to see if that will work out.

Gonna do some more exploring now.

Goodbye.

Last post in the Lounge before everything goes to hell (or maybe it won't). I'm actually pretty excited for the re-design.

I also voted for Closure by the way, good luck with that guys.

Excellent move :) Newgrounds is probably going to get royally screwed if SOPA makes it through.

Bought it. But now I do expect a daily first for my next game ;)

Can you copy paste the errors? I don't feel like reading through all of your code :) Also, use the tags next time.

Could you post the actual code?
