Oh yes, yet another site revision

Submitted by Burnspot on Tue, 11/02/2010

If you haven't noticed already, I have a new version of the site happening RIGHT HERE. What you see right now in this version of the site will see no more updates...everything will be happening on the new version of the site from now on. The gallery here and the OLD gallery will continue to function for the time being, so there's no need to sweat it yet. That being said, I have disabled new user registrations on this version of the site and gallery.

Changing Again

Submitted by Burnspot on Fri, 02/12/2010

 Oh crap, here we go again! I was playing with a Drupal site we designed for a client today and caught the bug...I must change my site's look. So, since the weather's turning to snow and other evil things tonight, I figured I'd spend some time screwing with things.

As with the design changes I implemented last year, the gallery section will lag behind since it's an entirely separate entity. So hang onto your hats and see what turns out.

In Work On Something

Submitted by Burnspot on Thu, 08/27/2009

 Yea, I know. I go through all the trouble of updating my site and then nothing happens. Truth is that I'm so loaded up with projects at work that I have no time left to bring to my own site...sucks, but then again, I don't get paid to create literary magic on my site. In a land of little pink ponies and rainbows, I could make something off of this place, but for now, back in reality, it is what it is. Anyway, I AM writing up a little article for the site, but I'm taking my sweet time on it. Ah, here it is...in the unpublished queue....but it's not ready yet. Sorry.

Server Move Again

Submitted by Burnspot on Sun, 08/23/2009

 I just finished moving Burningfiles.com to yet another server! After a day of hair pulling, everything seems to be working just peachy now. This website, and a few others of mine, were on a VPS server and the VPS simply wasn't cutting it in terms of speedy operation...seems like the server had some resource hogs on other nodes. So, I moved.

Organized Chaos

Submitted by Burnspot on Thu, 08/20/2009

Hey now...the look and feel of the site is now different; hope you like it. Naturally, it will change more and if you happen to view the Gallery right now, you'll see that it's completely hideous, lol. That will be the last section I'll address. I only have a few hours each night to fiddle with this, so it'll probably take awhile. But you'll live.

My Bad

Submitted by Burnspot on Tue, 03/31/2009

It appears that I somehow hid the link in the NEW Member Galleries that allows new/old members, without image albums, to create their own. You should now see the "YOUR ALBUM" link in the upper right part of the Member Gallery now...that allows you to launch your own album. Thanks to PhyreFox noticing this problem, I've gotten it fixed! :D You should have no trouble now...if you were before.

Screenshots Moving

Submitted by Burnspot on Wed, 03/25/2009

In the NEW Gallery, there is now an album devoted entirely to game screenshots, much like the old gallery. All of the old game screenshots will get moved over to the new gallery, likely breaking a few links here or there...progress is all about breaking down old things and starting fresh right? The only problem with getting all of those screenshots moved is the fact that the old gallery system, while placing all the screeshots in a specific album, did not keep those images in a single spot on the backend...they're rooted in the directory of the member who posted them. That makes the move a little more time consuming, but I think I'll eventually get it all finished.

Ironing Done?

Submitted by Burnspot on Mon, 03/23/2009

Well, it would appear that MOST of the issues with this new site have been ironed out. There's probably a few little quirks left here or there, but I think most revolve around backend stuff that normal folks won't run into. As always, if you see a problem, simply let me know and I'll see if I can solve it.

Existing members of old site

Submitted by Burnspot on Thu, 03/19/2009

If you were a member of the old website/old gallery, you should be able to either login directly here or request a new password based on your username. All members of the old site were imported into this system. A couple of members have managed to login successfully, but if you have a problem doing this, just drop me a line and I'll get it fixed for you.

Image Gallery Linkage

Submitted by Burnspot on Wed, 03/18/2009

UPDATE: THIS IS FIXED!

Just a heads up for all the SG'ers that use the NEW gallery here. At this point, the gallery is capable of displaying links (to registered members) for use in other areas; however, the format of those links don't produce a direct link to the image yet...at least on some BB's. I'm working on a resolution for this and when I have something, you'll see it.
