Phase 2 of Generation 9 is now complete. Changes include:

* New Files summary page (linked from 'Downloads' on the left menu).
* New Contribute page, where a user can see what they've created, or add new screenshots, files, versions, patches, or reviews.
* Updated file index pages.
* Updated file information page, including the latest file discussion topics.
* Updated search box to use Google.
* Updated reviews so they have titles, and are associated with a specific version of a file.
* Updated files so they can now have multiple versions and patches associated with them (like Dink Smallwood).
* Updated forum so the file name of the file discussion topic appears below the subject.
* Added the users who were sent a private message underneath the subject in the main forum index.

Any praise, suggestions, or complaints are welcome.

I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to.I guess. 
Er... I may have missed the discussion, but I don't see yellow borders around new posts anymore.

WTF? I see it around this one I after I just posted. But all of the other messages I just read didn't have it. I think Miasma is angry at me.

There is something strange in the way in which the titles of reviews have been added. For example, rabidwolf9 and I myself submitted a review of I, Kara Gu. Both the reviews have got the title 'I' instead of something meaningful.
The new downloads page looks cool, though I think that the bar showing the average score is a bit too small. Anyway, better than generation 8.

Yep... the conversion process tried to auto-generate a title based on the first line of the review, and it would stop when it got to a non-alphabetic or non-space character.

This won't be a problem in the future, because you manually specify the title when you write a review.

I really like the new contribution pages - I've availed myself of the update feature already and it's very easy to use. The file pages are really excellent. The main downloads page seems kind of busy - I'll probably get used to it, but I can't help but hope we'll be able to search subcategories from the category pages again soon.

I added support to combine categories (say, Development and Cheats), but I couldn't find an easy and useful way to present the choice to the user.

Speaking of graphics, the edit button for your own reviews is rather hideous. I bet three marks someone will eventually complain they can't see what it says.

I should've posted about this earlier. Sorry about that.

I see white lines above posts that are in reply to other posts. This only occurs in Opera, not in Firefox or Internet Explorer.

On the "Events" page, I see the following lines on top of the page (above the "The Dink Network" header): Set-Cookie: ptime=0; expires=Sat, 31-Dec-2000 00:00:00 GMT; domain=.dinknetwork.com; Set-Cookie: ctime=0; expires=Sat, 31-Dec-2000 00:00:00 GMT; domain=.dinknetwork.com; Set-Cookie: ftime=0; expires=Sat, 31-Dec-2000 00:00:00 GMT; domain=.dinknetwork.com;

Everything on the "Features" page doesn't exist. There's text and a black background, but that's all there is. Every link from the "Features" page links to a subpage of /features (for example /features/about.shtml instead of just /about.shtml).
