Besides looking through the recent changes page, is there any way to get to the page with all the personal pages?
You can get there directly by going to http://tasvideos.org/Homepages.html
I think it would make more sense if the page that lists all the players links to their personal pages.
Every user can have a homepage, but not every user on this forum is on the "Players" page. I think to be on there you had to at some point had a run published on the site, which excludes people like me :). So there should be a link to homepages on the main menu as well.

> 1. Besides looking through the recent changes page, is there any way to get to the page with all the personal pages? I think it would make more sense if the page that lists all the players links to their personal pages. Deviance answered your question very well. Note that there is also: http://tasvideos.org/Users.html > 2. Are people able to submit fmvs that they don't want to be published? If so, how do you specify whether you want it to be published when you submit it? Technically yes, but my site is not meant to be a random file storage. If there's need, new categories can be made - such as "demonstration" which would not be a speedrun and possibly would run only a part of the game. All submitted movies are supposed to be candidates for publication. > Also, after you submit a movie, can you unsubmit it and have it removed from the site? You can't remove the movie from listings, but you can cancel the submission and it will be marked as such. I can permanently delete submissions if there's some legal reason or such for it. > 3. Is there any way to see all the movies submitted by a particular person? Movies of a particular player can be listed via: http://tasvideos.org/players.cgi?mode=list EDIT: Submissions of a particular person can be listed by following the link from the user's personal page. Also, every user can list their own submissions via: http://tasvideos.org/queue.cgi?mode=list&type=own It should be noted that the site has two different user registers: players, and users. There's no link between an username and a player. (Well, there is in the database, but the feature is incomplete and completely unused.) > I think the movies that each person submits should be automatically linked to on their personal pages. EDIT: This is now done. > I also think that the description of each published movie should link to a list of all the submitted movies for that game. I don't think it's very useful. > 4. There should be a way to submit articles to the site (such as a listing of glitches in a game, a walkthrough, or anything else that might be of interest) that would be linked to on your personal page, and possibly linked to in the description of the game that the article is about (or if you set up the page to automatically create lists of all submitted movies for each game, links to the articles could be on that page). Editors can create new articles and link them to where ever they wish. All users can create links on their own page to other pages. > 5. Now that I'm able to login and I found out I'm an editor, I'm able to edit pages that already exist, but is there any way for me to create new pages? Create a link that refers to the new page, and then click the "?". You can also take the "edit movie" page address and replace the page name with your new page name, but it's recommended to create links first - this ensures the page won't become an orphan. Note that the page names should follow the wiki convention: JoinCapitalizedWords, no special characters. > 6. On the movies page, you should be able to sort movies by player. Considerable. > I also noticed that only some movies sorted by genre, so you should put all the movies in a particular genre. I don't understand what you mean.

Sorting movies by genre. RPG in RPG section. Action in Action section and so on and so forth. It would take hell of a lot time in doing so. It can be done, just it would take lots of time in sorting all the movies into their respective category.

I don't really see how Michael's message conveys the idea of your translation.

Don't underestimate what computers can do. All pages of the website are completely program-generated. It's a piece of cake for the computer (server) to do the sorting. It's just some work for the webmaster (me) to create the structure.

That's at least what I figured he was trying to say, y'know? Sorting each game/movie by genre into respective subcategory. S/nes / Action / blah blah blah... and so on. I never claimed it was correct, though ;)

> I also noticed that only some movies sorted by genre, so you should put all the movies in a particular genre. I don't understand what you mean. Yesterday when I checked, only a small portion of the movies were catagorized into a certain genre, but now I noticed that you categorized almost all of them so it's fine now.

Editors can't do that. Categorising is currently restricted for movie managers only, because the tool for updating the categories is on the same page as the tool for adding/removing files and such. I can make you a movie manager as well - even if you won't be handling submissions.

I rewrote the Whyhow page once again. It was a long time since I last touched it. It bothered me for a long time that the page was quite aggressive. It was directed to the idiots, not to the common audience. The new page hopefully serves people better. What do you all think? Ideas? http://tasvideos.org/WhyAndHow.html

I think the "we are not cheating" point should mention that "cheating," by definition, involves deception. We cannot "cheat" if we clearly explain what we are doing and do not compete with unassisted players.

I have the same problem and I started a new topic before being made aware of this topic. Still, there is no apparent solution.

The cookie holds now. If you haven't fixed it, the only reason I can think of is that I made clean OS install on friday, and maybe there was something fucked up in registry or something.

Hopefully this problem is fixed now. I said goodbye to the built-in session management of PHP and created things manually instead. That's what phpBB does too... The session length is now set to 100 days. Old cookies will still apply, so when it expires, you need to log in again.

All hail Bisqwit, the fixer code :) Thanks for the effort you pour into this site :)
