So I've been playing about with the [wiki]HomePage[/wiki] a bit, making use of the ability to put in floating layers, in this case for "important" links.
Floats can be used to put in references relating to material in the main page without messing up the flow of the main text. It may be useful to put some images in a float perhaps.
Also, I noticed there is a discrepancy with the preview option - it appears to be using the old formatter somehow. This makes the preview a bit useless, particularly when doing something fiddly. I'll have to investigate this when I have some time for code hacking...

Any chance of getting a link to my T3EnhancED installer on the wiki, or perhaps just a sticky in the thread? I don't want to keep reposting the link and cluttering up the boards, and also wouldn't want to see my work disappear without having been sampled by at least a few members.

I actually have been flirting with the idea of sticking the thread, I was just getting worried about the number of stuck threads at the moment. The time has come to cut a couple loose, I think, give that the wiki should contain most pertinient information. I have stuck the T3EnhancEd thread anyway.

Thanks scumble. Very much appreciated. :)

You might want to begin creating a page for [wiki]T3EnhancEd[/wiki] on the wiki - there's a link in the box on the front page now.

Will do. :)

The float looks pretty smart Scumble, much improved from its original appearance.
Incidentally, I wouldn't jump all over the wiki and implement the structure I described above, but I still think it's a valid concept. Are we going to tidy the tutorial section up or are people happy with it as it is? For the record, it wouldn't be the first time anyone's accused me of over-organising things. ;)

Well, I'll put my vote towards Glaswolf implementing his organization structure if he wants to spend the time on it. I don't think the current organization method of 3 columns sorted alphabetically by (sometimes not very descriptive) link names is working out. Sometimes I'll go on there looking for something and have to dig around blindly for 5+ mins to find it. The structure you described in your above post would make it much easier for people to find what they're looking for.

I'd be glad for anyone to go in and clear up the tutorial page. If you want to have a go GlasWolf, give it a try - it's always possible to rollback to a previous version if something goes wrong...
Krypt - the 3 column layout is just the category list. It could be improved by adding some more categories much like GlasWolf's proposed subpages of tutorials.
[edit]OK, so I ended up actually doing quite a bit of reorganisation and now it's 2am :sweat: Most of it isn't too pretty but I followed GlasWolf's plan - it should be easier to link in any new pages now...

Brilliant, Scumble! I've added descriptions and navigation links all over the place and tidied up the formatting. The only change I made to your stuff was to take the main tutorial topics out of the float and add them back into the main page. That allowed me to add decent descriptions of each category to make things easier to find.
Incidentally... "physicalizing"? ;)
