Jetsetlemming	I would really like the general mod comments back. I stayed on v3 for as long as possible, but now I'm forced to the new version.... The mod general comments were a great place to leave feedback and converse with the mod staff. I don't really like the design, graphically, of the new version, either. What's the reason for the console tabs? The only way I can see them having a use at all is the PS3 version of UT3, but that just is capable of playing PC-made UT3 mods, they aren't specifically made for the console. You could maybe have write-ups and pages on homebrew games, but then you're likely to attract the ire of console companies. Also, the main page search doesn't seem to work when looking for a mod. I have to click PC, then mods, then search from there. It's kinda awkward. Edited by: Jetsetlemming

Slye_Fox Mod Leader	Why was the game filter removed? That was a really good feture, it was handy not haveing pages filled up with info/mods on games you didn't own. -- Sigma Invasion Condition Red Stargate: Replicator Wars

You can't just take a PC UT3 mod and whack it on the console, it doesn't work like that. It still needs to be written with the Ps3 in mind. Consoles have far more limitations, different system architecture and input methods than PCs. Homebrew is definitely more what was in mind with the console tabs.

O N L I N E Dark_Raver9 Gwaa?..	i dont like the fav icon allso, maybe not the best place to post this but since were discussing v4 anyway so :p the statistics on your profile (aside from times visited, time online and profile visits) how are these changed? i mean how do you get positive influence? a friend of mine doesent do anything special on moddb except looking at news and such and he has 50% (wich should be like less since he doesent interact) i have nothing to complain tough but i just want to know Edited by: Dark_Raver9 -- Currently doing: Nothing...someone??? :p

Sallycin Mystical	There should be some way that users can distinguish between official and user created reviews/features. --

wake[of]thebunt 2029 Studios Director	Well you have some browser issues. Opera fails to keep the top menu lined up, and drops "forums" down to a second floating row. Also the whole color scheme for text/links/etc is pretty hurting on the eye, you guys need more black on grays and way less Gray/White on gray! Its insanely hard to read mod titles in the search area.

Dimebog The Enlightened Florist	Just make things functional and I'll be happy. I wanted to go public and announce the links to the mod that was released 13 days ago, but first the download didn't work, and now nothing works. I can't even log in. And what happened with 120 MB that I uploaded eleven days ago?
Yuri_Kenobi Overlord	Nov 14 2007, 6:56am Anchor
Yuri_Kenobi Overlord	Indeed there seems to be some problems with Opera - worst thing is that links become white for some reason - and white on white background ain't that good..

AL_Hassan Evil Comrade	Plz, shoot the one who has made this "new design"! >:( Stinks almost everything that is new - if before I could find the needed mod in 5 seconds by search, than now I must swim for 5 minutes dumbly cheking the endless ocean of lists. And this is only if I know what I'm looking! What about if I just want to check for new mods for a specific game? Than the task becomes impossible.. Guys, I'm a permament user of moddb and I hope that you're clever enough to reset all features of the old des.. this "new" sh*t makes things too uncomfortable to use, and many used to take a relax while reading moddb, not working as a searchers. The rate of viewing regular mods by users has already fallen thanx to this "new design" -- The God is the one who tried more than anothers

Dragonlord Linux-Dragon of quick wit and sharp tongue	It's very easy to view mods by game. Just go to the games list and look for the game you are interested it. Once there hit the mods button and you see all mods belonging to this game. So far no troubles. The only issue is missing sorting ability but that's to come. -- Leader, Head Programmer: Epsylon \| Drag[en]gine Game Engine \| ModDB Profile by Salohcin

Karuto	That's because I believe the private messaging service works through the forum, and thusly won't work when it isn't currently tied to the main server. Correct me if I'm wrong, though. -- "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster." - Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, Aphorism 146

Gibberstein Generic Coder Type Thing	I recently noticed that I can't find a way to filter out multiplayer games from singleplayer games and vice-versa. Has this been lost completely, or is it just buried someplace very obscure? -- "lets say Portal is a puzzle game, so its a rehash of Tetris" - Wraiyth points out the craziness of stereotyping games by their genre

Domipheus bourbons ftw	What is the mod description for? All i see displayed is the mod summary, and 200 characters is not enough for intro and feature list. Seems other mods have a lot more than 200 chars in their summary box! At first i thought the design was odd, but im coming around to it. Just need to iron out these little things
ambershee Nimbushfish Rawks	Nov 15 2007, 5:19am Anchor
ambershee Nimbushfish Rawks	The summary box is a new feature, just a couple of lines of text that appears in the mod listings, instead of just a name like it was before. By default, mods that have crossed over from v3 to v4 have their summary text set from their mod description, instead of being left blank.

Domipheus bourbons ftw	Aha, ambershee: The problem i was having is that it was appearing both in the mod listing and main profile instead of my description. IT seems to have been fixed now though!
