What do you think of the new updates. I saw the thing in the User Content section. It's kinda cool. Please post your thought and idea as well as new updates you've noticed....and remember...ENJOY!

It was out before today, but, what is "statistics" for when you are in the place where you edit your account?

The statistics section shouldn't have been viewable to you users. Even though there's nothing in there it's hidden from everyone.

Our site only keeps track of three things, your login count, post count (what you see under your avatar in the forums) and your IP address that is used during that login session. The only reason we're keeping track of your current IP is for anyone being malicious, destructive or just plain rude on the site so we can ban them.

Yeah, the User Content section is a first step in playing around with some of the newer more dynamic content driven tools available to me. More updates definitely coming in the near future. But mostly little things.

Wii Fit stats would be fun to compare but it is a 90 dollar game. That's a bit too expensive for my wallet.

im definatly not getting it, as games are way more expensive here, let me give you a comparionson

Average ds game = £30 = ~$60
Average wii game = £35 = ~$70
wii fit and GH3 = £70 = ~$140

You americans get things mega cheap... :(

I also realized that when editing images from the user content there are more options!

Wow, the site is pretty sweet now, especially the forums. But the one thing i was hoping for, the ability to post raw html in forum pusts (raw means any type, and not just the limited amout of tags we could use before) is gone, and replaced with BBC which i have a slight dislike for, but i guess i'll get used to it, and anyway its better than the gamefaqs forums (text only) so.... Arvin is the Ds badge i have for my review of the ds browser? I think it is, but i'm not sure.

And also, i've finished my exams, and am getting a new laptop and a dazzle 170 (lets you record game fottage directly from wii), so expect some new videos, and maybe a tutorial of the twilight hack, if Arvin doesnt do one.

duksandfish (off to fix my sig using bbc (*shivers*))

ps just noticed i can still post in HTML by changing the input format PLEEASE Arvin can you make this full html.

Also, deleting posts would be a nice option, if poeple did doulbe posts, or the system could automatically detect and delete them.

And when will we get our points for inviting users?

Hey, on the accounts, only Wi-Fi games actually show up. I was wondering if it was made to do that.

One thing that i am worried about is the fact that some people have huge picture signatures. one of those every time they post might take up a lot space, meaning a lot of pages and a lot of scrolling.. But thats really a petty complaint, other than that everything is great.

What's the deal with the lack of Super Smash 64 on the wii shop channel. No, instead we get stuff like SnowBoard 180!

Thats what I thought, Greenbamboo. But I guess the forums will never be the same.
