All the videos seem broken, they show as
I did a little Trailer yesterday and was asked to post it, so here it is: [stream flv=x:/www.springinfo.info/wp-content/uploads/ ... railer.flv width=560 height=340 img=x:/www.springinfo.info/wp-content/uploads/ ... slide1.jpg bandwidth=high title=Spring Engine Trailer skin=imeo /] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mKhQD2SVqw

"important links"
XTA Forever: http://xta.darkstars.co.uk/forums/ <-this does not work
http://xta.darkstars.co.uk/ <-this does work but seems very outdated

SpringFiles should be at very top of list as it the most important one to get maps. The description should also reflect this otherwise people might click through all the "important links" looking for map downloads...

widget database downloads are broken, ie check this link:
http://widgets.springrts.de/lua_manager.php?m=10&id=293
gives "file not found"

Maybe the layout of the article preview in lists thing could be better.
Ie the "[Date] posted by" and "Category:" could be one line, leaving more space for the thumbnail. Because some thumbnails are unreadable/ugly due to strong downsizing. (thumbnails should never be resized)

And link http://www.youtube.com/user/XtaReplay maybe? These guy(s) have some good commentated games.

still looks like this for me:
http://img15.abload.de/img/thbuwsg.jpg
right is the picture in full size. downsized its hard to see anything.
Maybe the text can flow around the images more?

Problem is if I have a large image and not enough text, it messes with the layout. I suppose I could force a pagebreak, but that's messy.

That's an invalid link. Its not lua_manager.php, its index.php. And it is all making sense now.

It is still broken? It always wants to download a .php file instead of the widget.
I did empty cache and reload but its still messed.
Videos too, either show some textstuff (http://www.springinfo.info/spring-engine-trailer/) or are resized to 1/2 of their original width. (=1/4 of area)
For example this one:

VBS fixed http://widgets.springrts.de/ but didn't fix http://widgets.springrts.de/springinfo

As for the videos, I hadn't gotten around to it yet.

*later*
There they should be fixed.

Knorke

http://www.springinfo.info/lua-widgets/widget-database/

only displays

http://widgets.springrts.de/springinfo

In an iFrame (in other words, a browser within a browser)

Now go to: http://widgets.springrts.de/springinfo and click the download button on any widget. You end up being referred to http://widgets.springrts.de/ without any file being downloaded.

Upshot of it is that I really can't do anything about it, only VBS can.
