First of all, thanks for the kind comments and constructive critisim. (I cant
spell, sorry) I appreciate someone who is able to stay on subject and not go off
on rants or personal attacks. What people dont understand, is that when you look
up tongue-in-cheek in the dictionary, there is a picture of Kevin right next to
it. He is not to be taken seriously, I think you understand that.

I agree, and I thought we were gonna finish that before we announced, but oh
well.

That's an idea I have stored away for v2 of my code, I was too lazy to add that
in this time, but it is a good idea.

Hrmm, that's a good idea. I'll look into it.

The thumbnails on each builder's page is intended to be just a quick preview. I
think providing multiple ways to view data is key, so this acts as a quick
preview. If you want to go into more depth and see more mocs, look to the
navigation on the left, where each builder has organized their mocs slighly
differently. This is similar to how mocpages is set up.

Yea, that's hits. It's not really intended for public view, but for the people
running the site to see what is most popular. I am lazy, so I didn't feel like
coding the login check for deciding to display that info or not. But if it
confuses the user, I will consider it.

| (...) Although I too spent some time at WPtS (I'm a web guy), I really liked the clean design of neutronbot.com. And of course the MOCs are incredibly great. Nice work you guys! I do have some suggestions - feel free to take them as you wish. But I (...) (20 years ago, 5-Feb-05, to lugnet.publish)
