It should sort out the menu overlapping the header.
This doesn't stop the link appearing to the left and right of the image though. Still makes hitting the collapse button tricky.

Get a better phone! Phone specific designs are unnecessary if you use Opera Mobile and have a decent sized screen. I have my phone set to identify as desktop to avoid those dumb simplified for-phone designs.

Weird. I just deleted the original on the server, and it worked. No obvious reason why!

It is important, since it's behaving a way it shouldn't! 
Could you upload the image you wanted to apply, so I can work out why it isn't working?

I explained this multiple times. It's due to a database glitch. You need to edit any post that uses non ASCII characters, replace the character with the same character again, and save. This will then store the post in the database in the proper format (charset).

« on: 16 May 2013, 14:21 »My entire entry for Troopers Tech Demo can be deleted, neither me nor anybody I know has the game anymore, there is no image either and it's 7-8 years old and way outdated anyways.The first entry (2 Dennis, 1 Bug) can be deleted as well. According to the MAGS thread of dec 2011, there's never been a successful release of this (controversial) game.According to this thread, 'Gerald Radcliff I' probably never saw the internet either.
Perhaps it'd be best if you would handle all the deletion requests, AGA?
(From some posts prior: I think it goes without saying that we don't edit "AGS Panel Review" entries!)
The above was intended exclusively as info for the AGS Panel that the entry about that corrupt download was outdated.QuoteAGS Panel Review
"File downloads, but is corrupt. Marking download as broken."
The 'AGS Panel Review' comment might have to be adjusted?
Done also.

I did set up the disabling thing, at least from my perspective (the user side can wait!). I've now disabled those five. The entries will still be in the db with all the original info if the authors ever want to reenable them.

CTRL-SHIFT-R should force a hard refresh in most browsers, no need to go closing windows.

Not really, it's just the search functions don't work very well. I've been meaning to rewrite them at some point to get them perfect, but never got around to it. Will do soon!

You can actually edit the Panel Rating, not that you should really do so without very good reason. Just click the "AGS Panel Rating" hyperlink (which is not a hyperlink for normal users). That page also lets you set the download and image links as broken / valid, just in case changing the link the other way didn't change that flag anyway (which shouldn't happen!). I should probably eventually just unify these things into one page, with different options depending on your user level, but that's a job for another day!

« on: 13 May 2013, 22:29 »Got kind of a double entry:
Old version (had a bug): "Phoenix1" (Download link broken)
Updated version: "Phoenix1(newlly uploaded)" with proper working link (for Peder: Not in the AGSarchives.com database)
I suppose that's also why the former is reported as download link broken.
Okay, merged the relevant data from the two entries, and deleted the latter.

As we discussed though, I think if a game author deliberately makes a game unavailable in the official AGS database, that should be respected. Offsite stuff like AGS Archives is fine though. So essentially, The Find demo should be removed.
However, I think I'll rework this a bit, to allow game authors to disable their own games. The game wouldn't be permanently deleted, it would just be made invisible to the game playing public, so the author could go back if they changed their mind.
EDIT: okay, done that, and marked The Find demo as unavailable.

« on: 12 May 2013, 22:24 »I marked a link a broken and was surprised how fast this went through. Just to avoid abuse of some jerk hating your game and marking the downloadlink as broken I want to suggest to change this a bit to either
wait for at least 2 people to report a link as broken and then mark it broken
and/or have a sign up for 'link reported as invalid' and still link to the destination anyways
or have for example the image uploaders see a message that the a link was reportet as broken and have them confirm this and then mark it as broken without a link.
Whoops, didn't realise marking a link as broken actually disabled the link. Changed it so the link will still show, it'll just also appear on the downloadcheck list.
Awesome work on the updating, everyone. You've saved me weeks of work! If everyone could look through their game archives to see if we could reupload some stuff, I think we'll be complete!

The better idea might be for me to put in a thing that makes it clear the full game is now available, and that people should play that instead (unless they're totally completist and also want to play the demo!). Having the date and number of downloads of the demo is a nice historical record, I think.

I think that isn't a placeholder, that it's a 'this image is now gone' image host message. But given the game doesn't run because the ac2game.dta file is missing, there's not much we can do.

If there are multiple entries for a game, please let me know the details so I can merge the download counts and such for the two. Please don't delete anything without consulting me!

http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/downloadcheck/. This only shows games where the download has been reported as broken though. Automatically checking all the links the way I did the images would take far too long.

new. is where new design / feature tests are run, I believe. The database should be the same, but it's probably better to use the main URL just to be sure.
