    • EV/EV:O/EV:N Hotlinks News


      OK. Yes, the entire project has been very quiet for ages, but it's still been there in the background...

      Firstly, due to the closure of F2S, I've been forced to move the site to my new server. This didn't take much time. However, F2S' implimentation of SQL is somewhat unstable to say the least, and it's taken me several weeks to be able to move the contents of the hotlinks database to the new server.
      The new URL is (url="http://"http://hotlinks.jonpearse.net")http://hotlinks.jonpearse.net(/url) .

      Secondly, I'm going to go through and clear out the dead sites in the database... At some point, I'll be sending out an email to all of the listed webmasters asking them to confirm their place in the listing. If sites are unconfirmed by the 1st April, they'll be removed, and displayed under a 'legacy' listing.

      Thirdly, the above move will drop the number of sites in the database to a fraction of what it was. If you have an EV/EV:O/EV:N website out there, and it's not listed, please submit it.

      Fourthly, I'm scheduling some updates to various parts of the code at some point which should improve the interface.
      On an interface note, I could do with a few more themes for the site... if you wish to design one, here's a list of what I need:
      () A title image (400x100 px)
      (
      ) A tileable background image for the header, side, and footer.
      () A content 'splitter' image - see (url="http://"http://hotlinks.jonpearse.net/themes/aqua/images/splitbarbg.gif")here(/url) (450x20 px)
      (
      ) A 'seperator' image - the thing between the header image and the content (25px high)
      () A background for the menu tops (140x20 px)
      (
      ) A background for the menu content (140px wide)
      () A background for the menu bottoms (140x20 px)
      (
      ) A general idea of colour scheme 😉
      Send completed themes (compressed) to either of the email addresses in my sig.

      Yeah, I think that's everything... Thanks for reading.

    • Well, it looks pretty nice. I have a few days off, perhaps I can fool around with an interface... 😛
