I saw that you changed the look of the developer portal more consistantly to the main page. Looks nice. I also noticed the enhancement that inside a topic, you have a link now to the upper forum structure/level. That makes it a little easier to navigate. Thank you!
As it seems that you want to keep this forum software, here are some feature requests:
Please implement the ability to quote messages. This is a must to have imho.
Please implement syntax highlighting and formating of posted code. This is also a must to have.
Please implement file attachments. That makes sharing of code samples much easier.
Please implement avatars. It would be nice to have as it gives this place a little more personal touch.

If you haven’t already, please fix the “login cookie” so it lasts for at least 24 hours and renews each time you hit a page. Having to re-login every 3 hours is just a real pain in the patoot.
If you take care of #5, this is much less of an issue, but the login page should redirect you to the last page you were on. This is trivial to do in terms of a website as you’ll just need to grab the referring page… and if it’s local to your server, Location header them back to it.
An easy one, add the awesome *awesome* navigation links to the bottom of the page as well.
It’s so nice to see the “preview” is now readable as well.
Great step forward!

Great feedback. We are far from done on the site,(our documentation, sample code, showcase page need help as well as our registration form) and we will take your items into consideration.

Trust me, I feel it too !! as well as #6

One other suggestion for your Documentation page. Please add an “update date” for each of the documents so we know if anything has changed. Also, which version of the SDK it supports.

code and lua amongst a few other tags can now be used for code blocks in a sane fashion. I’ve also bumped the session cookie from 5 hrs to 24. [import]uid: 3 topic_id: 971 reply_id: 2400[/import]
I threw Menlo at the top of the font list which has a slightly better l vs 1 differentiation. It’s a bit fiddly though because you really want to only pick between monospace fonts, and some of the other options are worse IMHO ( like the Courier family, they have the l1 problem, and the O0 problem )
I did a little googling and found some good info on what platforms have what fonts installed. Here’s the best I came up with that has the highest probability (on each platform: mac/win/unix) of being installed and also has good differentiation between 1l and O0.
I still think I like menlo over manaco as far as mac centric fixed width fonts. The l in menlo is rounded at the bottom which seems like more of a give away than the squared cornered monaco.
That is a good page though, I’ll go through the css and add the fonts from other OS’s so things look decent on other systems. [import]uid: 3 topic_id: 971 reply_id: 2498[/import]
Quoting, and some kind of wysiwyg text entry widget are high on my requested list (even internally). [import]uid: 3 topic_id: 971 reply_id: 2499[/import]
