Re: Sub forums for the Programming section

On a related note, where would I be posting things about SpecBAS, should there be anything to post in the near future? Are we religiously Spectrum-only, or are Spectrum-related themes Ok? Broad Sinclair related is fine. I would place SpecBAS in the development forum for now. When it's time for a se...

Re: Sub forums for the Programming section

OK. I agree we will hold fire on extra sub forums until the forums start to grow. It's pretty straightforward to move posts around in the forum software once needed.

We will add the extra sub forums as soon as needed.

Re: Improved handling of displaying new posts

OK, I have moved recent topics to the top of the page. On the right hand side of the block there is a little icon to the right of the username who posted last. Click that and it takes you to the latest post.

There is no more configuration available. I hope that solves the problem?

ZXDB Update Thread

I will post here advance warning of when I will be updating our version of ZXDB. Because we choose to delete the database first, there will be 5-10 minutes when the main website will be unavailable.

The next update will on Thursday 16 November at some time between 20:00 and 22:00 GMT.

Recent Topics

Good evening,

I have moved the 'recent topics' to the top of the home page. This has the advantage of showing who last posted on that topic.

The other option is for it to go at the bottom of the page, or back to the side.

Let me know what you think.

Re: Collecting missing screens

Hi, Peter. Spectra Blitz is a special case, I guess? Is it possible to display the Spectra screen modes in this website's viewer? There's also a Spectra Snake demo by Bloodbaz and a Spectra version of AGD by Jonathan Cauldwell, but I don't know if they'd count as full releases (they're certainly no...

A member of the SC Development team is working on a replacement for the standard phpBB logo and a few other tweaks. There will not be major changes to the design as it means more to manage.

Re: World of Spectrum....

I've jumped ship for this place, ever since the phrase "zxdb" was blocked on WoS. It's a shame, but I don't see the site surviving much longer now - but we really, really need a backup of all the files in the database. Quite a few of my scanned books are up there. Hello Paul, Nice to have...
