I think there's something wrong with the forum search function. It doesn't show all results.

For example when I search for "Thief" I only get search results from 2005 and earlier. I've recently uploaded "Thief: Deadly Shadows", but this actual topic can't be found by the search.

It looks like the search is working again. Thanks.

[Scaryfun]

Yeah, the forum was reindexed...only part was done before.

Hello.

It seems that due to the default larger size available for the box cover thumbnails in the new database format while using the same pictures from the old format which were optimized for use in a smaller area, it makes the pictures come out blurry.

[Scaryfun]

Yeah, I'll replace the games with small pics with larger ones.
Or if anyone wants to help out, find some yourself and resize them (just write in this post what years you are doing).
I use IrfanView with width 170 pixels for normal size boxes or 250 for wide and slim bars like Steam uses and these options:
- Preserve aspect ratio
- Apply sharpen after Resample
- Size method: Resample (better quality); Resample filter: Lanczos filter (slowest)
JPEG/GIF save options - JPEG: Save quality 40

No, the 170 pixel jpgs are being automatically expanded and look ok. It's ones that are smaller that come out all blurry when expanded.

What happened to the background color (it used to be #9ddb74) on Adventure legends? The color that shows now (#99ffcc) used to be only in the Alphabet frame, but now its on the whole page. Was that intentional?

[Scaryfun]

I didn't realise it was on A-Z Index, but I did change the main background colour. I'm using old browsers on a win98 comp due to my other comp dying and the color was too bright so I toned it down.

Actually the A-Z index page itself (http://www.legendsworld.net/adventure/alphabet) had the old color (#9ddb74). I was talking about (what used to be) the separate frame on the top of each individual year's page under the banner (which incidentally doesn't match the rest of the page any more and the strip on the right side (!Adventure_ready_04_07.jpg) really looks out of place) that had the Adventure and Adventure related games listed by alphabet in a separate frame.
