New File Upload Form
Posted by Magnus on 10 March 2002, 17:54 GMT
A new handling of file uploads have been installed on ticalc.org. The process looks pretty much the same to the end user - most of the changes are "under the hood". However, the following user visible changes have been made: - A ticalc.org user account is now required to upload files. Files are automatically tied to this account.
- If you are updating a file that already exists in the archives, you will be requested to confirm that this is actually an update.
- If you are uploading a separate file that conflicts in name with a file already in our archives (in the same directory, of course) or the pending queue you will be asked to rename the file on upload.
- It will now be possible to have more than one file with the same name in the pending queue at the same time - as long as they are in different directories. This makes it possible to upload the same program for multiple calculators with the same name.
These changes were made both to make the process for our file archiver easier and faster, and to add features for our users. By changing most of the infrastructure behind the upload process, we have also prepared for further feature additions in the future. If you have any problems uploading files, please contact filearchive@ticalc.org. Update (Magnus): Another new field has been added to the update form - "Comment to file archiver". That way you won't have to accompany your upload with a mail telling our archiver what you want done, if you want something non-standard.

Cool, but you know what I really want?
The ability for users to comment and rate files.
I.E, you can rate a file from 1-10, and post optional comments. That will increase downloads to games containing a bad desription and or no screenshots. It would also be good to see other people's opinions on anything, and make it easier for the author to view feedback.
Pleeeeeeeeaaaassssssseeeee do this! :)
