Introductions: Matt Wood - New Web Dev

by Matthew Wood · in General Discussion · 05/10/2011 (4:18 pm) · 17 replies

Hey Howdy Hey, just introducing myself to everyone. My name is Matt Wood and I am the new web dev. I have started cleaning up the site and will be introducing some overall improvements soon including a new server with far better up time.

I'll be hanging out in the Site Feedback forum a lot so head on over there if you want me to take a look at anything, even if you want to make some suggestions. Or just leave them here.

I've been in games for several years and am looking forward to expanding our web-based technologies and improving your guys' experience.

Thanks,

Matt

I personally feel that Mich is responsible for everything that goes wrong with anything related to GarageGames, so you have nothing to fear from me. :D

Congrats on getting in. :p

Thanks Donald, I just ran through the first successful tests of our new search engine. I will be pushing for that to become priority soon.

Alright! :)

Search is a definite must have or you'll never hear the end of the ongoing complaints.

Just about anything on the site wishlist thread would be good to have once stability is ensured and the more obvious bugs are fixed.

And welcome!

Thanks everyone. Steve can you give me an example of the backslashes bug?

It's this report here.

When you add code or a directory address with backslashes

eg:
C:\Torque\Torque 3D Pro 1.1 Preview\My Projects\New Project\game\art\gui

and then post comment/blog/resource, if I then edit it, the backslashes are removed in the edit preview/posting text. So you get:

C:TorqueTorque 3D Pro 1.1 PreviewMy ProjectsNew Projectgameartgui

Only happens on backSlashes - forwardSlashes are fine.

Best of luck to you Matt.
I hope you get the go-ahead to pow this site in the face.

And we're only kind of half joking with that. The pile of stuff on Matt's plate has been so big lately that he hasn't even able to take part in community hour.
