New Category
I was feeling like doing an overall of the site to see what needs to be done and noticed that there was not a category for "Emulation". I have added an Emulation category to the site and hope that you take advantage of this new category.
On other topics, I might take the time to image all the extensions.
New Admin
I'm now an admin of GMbase and because of that I feel like stopping this place from being dead.
Download problems?
Alright, ever since this site was released, people with programs that block the referrer variable on the browser have been having problems downloading extensions. I think Norton did this. I think that should be fixed now though. So if you have been getting complaints of a broken download that should stop. I really have no of testing my patch myself though.
Categories
Alright, I've been doing some categorizing. If you feel your extension is in the wrong category or think there should be a new category for it, post here and I'll fix it.
New bbcode elements
We now have the [color*], [size*] and [code*] bbcode tags working! Example:
array_set(players, "attack", "player1", "skills", 1);
array_set(players, "defend", "player1", "skills", 2);
*note that is does not auto-highlight though.
Feeds!
I've added RSS feeds for Simon Donkers' website, http://gamemaker.info!
You can find them both at his website (or soon anyways, once he adds them), or here:
News RSS 2.0

Some major layout changes
Ok, the banner has been changed once again. Notice that the user meta is now above the menu. Also I did a bunch of changes on the extension download pages, so go check that out. It's a lot cleaner and simpler now.
Tweaks
You may have noticed a few differences around the site. I'm in the process of tweaking it a bit. So far I've allowed comment deletion in the news area, and even more importantly the site banner is different. This is only temporary though. I'm planning a major change in the header soon.
MarkUp - Nevember
Hey there again, we seem to be out of reviews, so if you would like to get your extension reviewed for MarkUp, the magazine, please contact me at poppitypop@gmail.com (or leave a shout). Otherwise, I'll pick one myself. Thanks.
