Hi @amigasource

Nice collection of links there

Btw. under GAMES the entry EMERALD IMAGING is there twice

Hi Scott-tissue, and welcome.

You have a great site. But, HOW in the heck did you not hear of one of the finest and well run forums on any subject, let alone Amiga?

16 December 2002, 09:22

Hello All,
Thanks for the kind posts!! Now to answer a few questions.

@ RCK
Well it's there now. I'm going to need another day or so to add it to the main page "My top10+" link menu ;-)

@ Pyromania
Someone had mentioned it a post on Amiga.org.

@ Paul
Thanks for the Welcome!!! Glad to be here!!

@ RetroMan
I get right on that!! Thanks for pointing it out!

@ Fredric
That’s a DAMN good question. You would think after surfing Amiga website for YEARS and personally visiting over 1200+ site something of this size would have come to my attention YEARS sooner.

Thanks

Nice site but layout might be better. it looks dated and alphabetical listing would be nice.

I agree bout need 4 alphabetical listing however site appears daily maintained its how i found this site

23 December 2002, 08:37

Hello All,
I did a complete site overhaul today. It looks much the same but code has been cleaned up and streamed line. I was able to remove over 500K off the total site upload. Can you say "BLOATED HTML code" Anyway I would be welcome to any suggestions, problems or comments with the new design.

P.S. I would REALLY appreciate anyone who can troubleshoot the problems with Voyager displaying tables and Ibrowse & Voyager not being able to display the form page properly.

Happy Holidays!!

Enlighten me on something, Scott:

In your new links listing, the description of a site is truncated with ..., ie:

Hall of Light - The ultimate Amiga games database You want information of a game?? Look no further!!! Number of unique game....

How does one read the full descrption of a site? The link just takes you to said page. Shouldn't there be a [More] link for full descrption?

23 December 2002, 18:08

Hello Twistin'Ghost,
Short answer- You have to go to the page(s) that the site has been added to. (Sorry)

Long answer - The way the site is site up, the main page only shows the most resent added links and a brief 50 character description taken from it's full description. Granted it's not very informative but just a little something for the user to see. When you click on that link from the main page you will go directly to that site. Maybe on some future version I can have the user jump to a page with the full site description first. (I've never thought of this)

On a side note some of the descriptions aren't very informative. If I've never been to the site and don't know anything about it I just take my BEST GUESS. For example the description for HOL is in my opinion rather poor. Since I don't much about it I just took what I could form the site and posted it.

Other sites it's really easy. I either know something about it or I just use part of their "about/info" page.

Bottom line - I wish I had a personalized, well written description for each site.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for dropping by!

One heck of a site, I give it four stars. Its on my favorites page now.

fiath · 28 January 2003, 09:23

What? No C.A.P.S. either?

Of course, it is quite hard to catagorise, Emulation? not really. Games? Yes, but not really... Hardware info? Absolutely, not not completely...

I'll leave you to decide on that one
