That would work if we had programs.Well guess we need to inspire people/ promote the site

It's not exactly a "hot" pick if nobody's looking at it lol.
If you want your program to be seen, you just need to make a good game. People really do look at new programs (I check the views). Look at "ASCII Platformer": it was brand new and it was the most viewed program when it was released.
I'm probably going to add something like "recently popular" which will showcase programs that people are interested in currently, which will at least get people to see programs that might not be the most popular thing on the website overall, but which are popular right now.
Edit: We want people to look at good games... if we cover the program list in bad games, we'll just become Wikia again. If I start finding programs which are awesome but not being seen, we can make a showcase specifically for programs which we think should be seen. It wouldn't be a "hot" pick, it'd be more like a "hidden gem".
Yes
"Do programs with screenshots really do better" - Look at the front page of popular programs lol
But yeah, that could be an interesting idea. But unless we get hundreds upon hundreds of programs with tons of comments and lots of good data, we'll basically just be making guesses. Trends are kind of hard to "verify" when you only have like 50 things to get your data from lol.
Yes ? random
Just want to say that smilebasicsource.com is coming along nicely. I've been lurking since the program's release, but finally joined recently.
Adding the forum thread title (and page number) to the "Save As" dialog (right-click page) would be useful for those of us who like to keep the info for offline reading.
Thanks for all the hard work you guys have done on the site. It shows!

I'm not sure how to fix the problems with "Save As"... we have dynamically generated content which probably conflicts with local copy stuff.
Thank you, I'm glad the website is working out for people! I'm not sure how to fix the problems with "Save As"... we have dynamically generated content which probably conflicts with local copy stuff.Maybe something similar can be done like when you right-click a Program page, this is what is generated there: (using the Raycaster page as example) "SmileBASIC Source Spooky Maze (Raycaster)" While in the forums this is what is generated: "SmileBASIC Source Forums" There might be an easy way to add the thread title/page number to that string. No big deal either way, just a minor inconvienence. Not worth detracting any time from other site improvements.
