I was going through yesterday, and it seems like all the most interesting ones no longer exist....http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=561161Can we have a PDF version for the articles and references. Mainly because I found the html printable version difficult to print through my browser. Then I found shrink to fit option but the fonts became too tiny for A4 size paper. Any suggestions for print setting? Regards Saurabh....http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=561001Noticing somewhat that your site seems to favour heavily the modern gaming systems and platforms (nothing wrong with that, after all that is where the money is) However, there is a growing and fast expanding market in the retro and classic gaming and computer markets, especially in the areas of software and hardware development (i am talking mainly anything pre n64/playstation/saturn period) And given that your site has a bent or specialization in anything and everything to do with games programming/d...http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=560982Today I tried to go to the chat room via the java applet, and it gave the following error in both FF and Chrome: Java Plug-in 1.6.0_17 Using JRE version 1.6.0_17-b04 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM User home directory = C:\Documents and Settings\Pete ---------------------------------------------------- c: clear console window f: finalize objects on finalization queue g: garbage collect h: display this help message l: dump classloader list m: print memory usage o: trigger logging ...http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=560605I've been browsing here more actively recently though I've been a member for years. One thing that had always bothered me - more so recently - is the forum seems buggy to me when it comes to viewing posts that I haven't read before. Most forums I am active on have a 'View New Posts' button; which searches for any new posts that you have not read. I can't seem to find this magical button here so my alternative is to go back to the index, and click on the topics I am interested in. I have no...http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=560338Can we have a place where we move all the 'I need help with my MMO' threads?

They make my day, everyday....http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=560192Hey does anyone know who to contact to get an account unsuspended, I tried sending an email to one of my contacts and my account got suspended, I have no idea why and there's no way to contact anyone from the site, I tried sending an email with the contact information here but never got a reply. It sucks I've had this email adress for 8 years and now I can't even get into it....http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=559747I saw in a 2 year old thread that it exists, but does it? And if it does, how can I reach it? Thanks!...http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=558479Has anybody else encountered the following problem: In my posts plus signs (+) disappear completely. The following line should read A plus B, but I actually get A B. A + B This happens even when code or source-tagging: (Code): A + B (source) A + B So: Do you see the plus signs above, or not ? I'm using Opera 10.10 on Windows XP. I had to resort to +, like this: A + B then it works, but this is a major inconvenience. unbird ...http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=558450Seems there's a problem, people can post new threads but not reply to existing ones.

Unfortunately this website, (http://www.gamedev.com), is blocked at most of the workspaces. Do you have any idea to overcome this problem. For example, how about creating a "pointer" to this website, I mean another URL that directs to here and doesn't contain any "inconvenient" keyword in its address....http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=557322In the new version of the site I want to suggest having some king of webform instead of the simple text editor for the help wanted forum. This way posts get formated in proper way. Specially when it comes to MMO projects I would like to see all fields marked as required, poster should have to answer also the inconvenient questions like How long are you working on this project: ______ Do you have a design document? yes[ ] no[ ] Do you have a dedicated server? yes[ ] no[ ] Do you have a pla...http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=557304In the V5 version of GDNet, will there be better support for game programming/design/writing contests? Things I'd like: Visible in user's profile, which past contests he's won. (With those entries hopefully hosted by GDNet, and easy downloads for them) Way for a user to click a button to mark himself down as "Participating" in a contest, and a way to click a button to "Drop out" of it. This is while the contest is running, before the entries are submitted. After the deadline, any user who didn't s...http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=557299Hey, So I've never really used the bookmarks feature, but took me a guess to figure out that "Track this topic" meant "Bookmark this topic". Just seems like it would be a more clear user experience if the text read "Bookmark this topic" or "Add Bookmark" instead of "Track this topic". -me...http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=557134Most forums I visit automatically open hyperlinks in a new tab. This keeps the forum visible so both can be viewed. I know that the same effect can be achieved by right clicking on the link and selecting "Open in new tab", but it is much more convenient to simply left click on the link. Would it be possible to implement this here?...
