    As some of you may have noticed, there has been some slight additions made to GameRenders today. Here's the main ones:

    IHostPhotos.com Uploads

    We've swapped our GameRenders upload system for one hosted by http://IHostPhotos.com . This upload system allows multiple images to be easily uploaded at once with a click of a button. It also has a higher maximum file upload size compared to the previous one which should be of some use to many members.

    To use the new uploads system, simply upload the image you want by clicking the Host It button after selecting your file. You can then get the correct image code needed to show the image in your post by selecting the code in the white text boxes just above your uploaded image.

    New group images

    Our usergroups now have some great matching usergroup images created by MaSteR. They are currently being edited to make them clearer so don't worry if the text appears too faint.

    New forum order

    In the past few weeks we have been experimenting with improving the forum index layout, and moving the relevant and popular forums to more optimal positions. We have also recently made a new forums for the Resourses section due to its popularity as a subforum.

    Feel free to comment about these updates in the Problems and Suggestions forum or in this thread.

    Tutorial Section Makeover

    The tutorial section has been improved, with some new categories to improve the overall layout of it.

    All member bars were made by MaSteR.
    The IHostPhotos Upload isnt bad, just not sure why no Imageshack.
    Anyway, i will take a look at the forum order now, i havent checked that out yet :)

    Edit: Just noticed that the forum order has actually been like this for a bit now, you were just saying you added a few new forums etc in the near past ;)

    No imageshack because they can't offer as much space for the renders and larger pieces that people post.

    Yeah, I just noticed that the Premium Member section is in front of the Marketplace, rather than after it... and I must say it again. I love the user bars.

    I love the new USERGROUP images. They are great...

    ...But perhaps your ADMIN ones should just say GR ADMIN or SITE ADMIN for site admins and FORUM ADMIN for forum admins... The G. Renders is too much, ;)

    Besides, we all already know what sit ethe current members group icons pertain to, as they are set by the forum here. So no need for the G.Renders on them.

    Maybe the staff memebrs ones should slightly pulsate :D


    Sorry for the useless suggestions :D

    Looks great guys.

    GJ Master.

    the new bars are amazing, must have taken ages to make. i think they all look great, except the admin one looks a little tight for space ;)
