Is this official? I'm just questioning it's legitimacy because it wasn't posted by an admin.

This is official.

Dev has a small amount of access to sen's ftp and has been doing some small tweaks.
ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD.

Also yes dev, you can play with the classic skin.

Stop bugging him out, at least he's doing something.

Good job dev!

I love the blue icons. Well done.

Thanks, your replies are motivating me even more.

***UPDATED FIRST POST***

That makes him about as much of an admin as Doodle77

He used to have some ftp access, I don't recall if he still does or not.

I gues now is as good as time as any.

When I access SEN from my mobile phone, the header says "Staredit Newtork"

Misspelling that could prolly be fixed

That already was fixed yesterday, or not? What skin do you use?

Can you make underlining links an option? On the internet, links are usually underlined, and I'm used to it that way.

Fixed/Added some stuff in the DLDB. Going to improve it tomorrow.

I'm not sure if this is a known problem but it needs to be fixed.



It opens a new window that directs me to this
http://www.stare...%20[%3ca%20href=/

what about links like member's names?

im still complaining about how "newest file" works. Is that manual? I've uploaded 4 maps since yu gi oh duel monsters and they never made the "newest files" list? Their should be a newest file um... cell? when you go to the actual database. How do we NOT have that? we have recently updated, recently reviewed, and recently commented on but not recently uploaded. I miss the old database :C

DLDB Gods can now edit and delete reviews.
(-> Corbo, DT_BattleKruser and I)


"Reviews-counter"(<- the tab inside of a file) and "recent reviews"(<- at the index page) are now fixed.

I know what I'm about to say is a suggestion, but I really think the Clan pages should be replaced with Map pages. You finish a map, you get the privilege to create a page dedicated just for your map. What's unique in the clan pages that would look nice in the Map pages, or showcase, is that you can do whatever you want to the page. So obviously, any one can take advantage of this to make their map page fit the theme of their map. Yeah...

Good idea & opinion but making that as a new system on SEN would be much work + I cannot access mysql-databases which are required for doing so.
But I actually could add your "map-page" if you PM the html and image files to me.
(I guess I have to ask IP whether I'm allowed to do so)

The clan pages were originally intended for map pages. I remember IP mentioning it once. To make clan pages to map pages, all you'd have to do is rename it to Map Pages.
