Finally, a thick and juicy website update! I would say a "much needed update" but we actually didn't really need it... Besides, everyone says "much needed update". However, the improvements sure are nice! See the update details below:

Signin functionality improved:
$1

Signing into the automatically signs you in to the Forum as well.

Signing into the Forum automatically signs you in to the as well.

Clicking Forum links to areas of the Main Site (like downloadable files, etc.) no longer require you to re-login to the Main Site before continuing.

Your Main Site username and password is the same as your Forum username and password. If they were different before, use the Forum login information for both the Forum and the Main Site.

You can opt to have the Main Site as well as the Forum automatically log you in each visit. No need to type your username and password every time you visit the site! You must have cookies enabled for this function to work properly.

redesigned:
$1

All artwork, music, sound, code, story concepts, game geography, game clients, screenshots, and other materials are now categorized according to the .

Everything under the category is closed to the public. You must be logged in as a to access these materials.

Nifty new graphics for easy navigation:
$1

Click on the + or - vines to expand or collapse each category like a tree-view.

Any new files or materials that have been uploaded since your last visit will have a "New" image next to them making it easy to quickly navigate to any fresh material.

A small UpLoad arrow will appear next to any category you have access to upload files to. Click the wooden arrow to upload a new file to that section.

When viewing a list of downloadable files click on the small Edit or Delete images in the "Owner" column beneath your username to edit that file's settings or remove it from the downloads section. You must have been the user that uploaded the file for the images to appear.

$1

All download section permissions are individualized by rank and user. By default, access is as restrictive as possible. If you feel you should have access to an area that is restricted to you, send me a PM or email and I will have no issues with granting access to that area. See the Permissions improvement section below for more details.

A progress message is now displayed when uploading large files. This makes it obvious that your browser is not frozen and is, in fact, uploading your file.

You can now "preview" sound and music files before downloading them. Clicking on the Play button will load a popup window that plays a short clip of the audio.

$1

Security and Permissions improved and tightened:
$1

Back-end file system is entirely read-only.

Access to various areas of the site are determined by individual login or rank. Ranking members have access to the areas that pertain to their talents and specializations. No one person has access to all areas of the site, not even the site administrator. (Although I have the ability to give myself access to all areas of the site, I have not done so and it is intentionally difficult to do so)

See the topic if you are interested in becoming a ranking member.

As mentioned above, your Main Site username and password is the same as your Forum username and password. If they were different before, use the Forum login information for both the Forum and the Main Site.

By default, all ranking members have access to only the areas that are of obvious import to that rank or user. If you are interested in accessing areas that you currently do not have access to, just tell one of the Developers the specific area you would like to access. We will most likely have no problem granting you permission into the additional areas.

If you aren't logged in, anything new in the last week will light up the "NEW" indicators and
