    • Help, Evil Spaces!


      There's a lot of plug-ins out there that I want to download, but people just aren't following this rule, which is on the submit form: "avoid the use of spaces, quotes, apostrophes, and other non-alphanumeric characters." Please, read the instructions. I would like to see some of these plug-ins (most recently, Alex's Great War, looks pretty cool, but just can't download it).

      Sorry for attracting so much attention for such a little post, but I'd like to get this message across to plug-in developers BEFORE they submit stuff with spaces in them again.

      Thank you.

    • What problem are you having downloading files with spaces in their names?

    • For their defense, that is a VERY recent rule, one that has been around for barely longer than the new server. Most of the plugs are much older, and as a result, don't follow the rules.

      Also, it may be a problem tied in with the new server getting adjusted... perhaps post something about this on Ambrosia Banter?

    • Well, I've had this problem ever since this new site format was conceived of. As a matter of fact, I'm noticing that some of the files with spaces in their names have no downloads; that is, it says: "D/Ls: 0". Maybe that's just because nobody's downloaded them, but I do know that when I try to download these files, it tells me that access is denied to the file or the file does not exist. Yet these files do exist when I access Ambrosia's FTP, but because of my stupid dialup connection, usually it never finishes downloading.
