Coldstone resource centre now open

I have got the main parts of the Coldstone resource centre up and running.
I am now asking for your help. See if you can do any of the things on the list below. I have started the site but it is for everybody to help with and add to. I want to make this site the way that you want it so please help me improve it.

To do list. Please try and do some of these
1. Visit the site - use the link in my sig
2. Add your game - fill out the form and I will have your game info put up ASAP.
3. Contribute Images - No point in having an image gallery with no images.
4. Write Tutorials - I will accept any well written tutorials and put them on the site.
5. Make the site - If anyone wants to help write the site or design graphics for the site they are welcome to (As you can see from the site I haven't put much into the graphical side of things)

Coming Soon. These should be up soon.
1. A members section - A list of all those who have contributed along with their games, graphics and tutorials
2. Forum - Comment on the site or chat. Each member will get their own board on which they can post their own thoughts, comments, news.
3. Banners - Submit banners to advertise your game free of charge
4. A decent design - I am looking at all your sites and picking what I like from each. You all seem to be a lot better than me at web design :frown: )

With any luck this site should help advertise other peoples games along with helping people make games using coldstone.

P.S If anyone can help with hosting I would be greatful. I can keep it on my free server but if the ads annoy you I am willing to listen to recommendations.
P.S.S. People who contribute a lot to the site will get moderator status on the forum

It gives an error message when I submit a game saying could not find (url="http://"http://localhost/")http://localhost/(/url).

Also under the Graphics section I would suggest that you add spell/missile graphics.

I am going to remove the add graphics link for now as I am going to add a form in a day or two.

The error that you got when submitting your game happens to me as well (or at least it says connection failed). I have received your game info and will put it up. I will also put a message on saying to ignor the errors.

Thanks for the feedback

Oops, sorry then you most likely got sent my game info 2 or 3 times.

Also could you make the description part of the game submission form a bit larger? Other than that your site looks great! I look forward to seeing it completed.

I'm currently working on the message board which should be up soon.
It won't look very good when I first put it up but i just want to get it working first.

P.S. Graham, you will have your own board when I put it up. Anyone else who gives me their game info will have a board too.

Maybe it's just my browser, but when I hit the Submit button nothing happens. Absoluteley nothing.

Howdy, Pilky. I'm liking the way the site looks. Good job. Anyway, how did you do the game submission form? I've been trying different ways of doing forms for my site (which is not up yet), and a problem I come across is on AOL it works fine, but on internet explorer it doesn't send the information.

(this is just a suggestion) I think the "tutorials" thingy should be like this:

Name Descripton Creator

Or something like that. In stead of

Name

Description

I think it would look better that way 😉

I used (url="http://"http://wwwtoolz.com")http://wwwtoolz.com(/url)
I must have missed something in the code for the form. I will change it tommorow after school.

I'm using (url="http://"http://bravenet.com")http://bravenet.com(/url) for my forms, unless I can't work out the problem. The drawback is that there's advertising.

The company that is number one in the web forms market owns these two sites: (url="http://"http://www.response-o-matic.com")http://www.response-o-matic.com(/url) (url="http://"http://www.freedback.com")http://www.freedback.com(/url)
Forms are free with ads or you can pay for one without ads. I should know. I work for the company. 😉 That's me on the credits page of Freedback under beta testers.

Graham, it's spelled "medieval". "Midievil" would be a music file that is possessed!

------------------
Insert profound thought
or clever witticism here

Does nobody else want to have their game added or contribute graphics or a tutorial?

Pickly, I have a question. Will we be capable of changing the description and Percentage Complete of our games on your site?

Pilky, in addition to graphix, I think it would be good to also have sounds/music up for download, as well as utilities :). Also, I tried posting my game but as I said before, the submit button does nothing for my browser. 😕

Edit: Oops, it DOES work, only this time:

Can't Find the Web Site (url="http://"http:///")http:///(/url)
400 Bad Request

  • The site may no longer exist or it may have moved.
  • Double-check for any misspellings, punctuation errors, or extra spaces.
  • If these suggestions do not work, try restarting your computer.

Edit AGAIN: D'oh, I'm an idiot. We're supposed to ignore that, right. Sorry, you should get my form about 3 times :rolleyes:. please use the most recent one with the added few-word ending.

I'll make the note a bit more obvious.
I am thinking about sound and music files but not yet. I have to get a forum and member profiles up first (hopefully by the end of the weekend)

Any particular reason why? If it is about hosting the coldstone resource centre (hopeful look on my face) then I will definately contact you. Even i am getting annoyed with the popups on my site.
