By the way Krisse, the images on that page don’t show up on firefox – is there a bugs section of the site you’d be happy for me to mention things like that in?
The images show up for me, though. Currently on Firefox 3.6, Linux. Do the images still not show up? Maybe you just experienced a temporary server problem?

were can I find those competitions?
Look for the two “PVB Coding Competition” forums at the bottom of the forum overview page. A site search will also lead you to some news posts which list all entries with screenshots.
Welcome to PVB, Josh! Indeed, due to being Nintendo property, the access to the official programming documents is restricted to long time users. You got a PM, though. 😉
Good luck with your project! I am looking forward to seeing it shape up. 🙂
I got to talk to HorvatM and TheForce81 and the chat worked pretty well, I must say it was a very comfortable experience being able to communicate with fellow users in such a direct way.
I tested the chat on several computers, OSes and browsers. Slow ones, fast ones, Windows, Linux, Firefox, Chrome, Internet Exploder. It was a smooth experience on all configurations.
But since many of you seem to have problems with choppy scrolling, I’ll try to find a better solution.
I bet that loading times can be improved by merging and trimming down the required JavaScript and CSS files.
As for the scrolling problems, I think you guys made a good suggestion with placing the chat button in the user bar on top. The problem is that it does not allow free placement on the site, plus it can become pretty wide when several chats are open to the left of it.
What I could do: make the userbar use the full screen width, move the “PMs” and other buttons to the left and replace them with small icon-only versions. Then the live chat could use up all the space on the right.
In addition, I will set up an option to completely disable the live chat.
I am also thinking of updating our license to premium. This would cost an additional $80, but would allow us to use the lite version of the chat, which does not include all the unnecessary stuff I disabled anyway and is said to be 10 times faster. It would also be branding free.
That would be interesting. The only Game.com site I know about is http://gamecom.guruwork.de, by the same people who are behind Team Pokeme, who also hacked the Nintendo Pokemon Mini.
Amos,thanks for pointing that out! The textarea editor was selected for me too. I didn’t notice before, though, since I mostly use the quick reply form. I set it to DHTML now and it seems to remember my choice.
I think you’re right about the recent problems being the reason for this. For unknown reasons, some settings got deleted, like all role assignments (to the registered users group.)
Did anybody notice anything else? Reset notification options or something like that?
