Change Highlights
- Send Private Messages to offline users

The new social features have been reworked a number of times. I would appreciate it if folks could test them and reports bugs and usability issues via "Send Message."

There are few highlights in this small release. I would have skipped the announcement altogether but I have something else to announce.

PopLava members can see a description of every change by visiting: Update - 10/10/10

What's Next?
Resource Center (RC) changes are going to slow down at this point. After a massive RC theme update, I intend on shifting my focus to a new project named "Project Manager" or PM for short. The PM will enable developers to manage their todo's and collaboration efforts in-house.

This new project is pretty massive and while I already have a large percentage done, I still have a fair chunk of work to get through before it can come online. Look for the change notes and regular status updates like I've been doing for the RC.

The RC can easily have a thousand more features added and I actually have several hundred in my notes. Please let me know if there is some absolutely must have feature via "Private Message" or in here. While I would love nothing more than to keep plugging away on the RC, I want to make forward progress on the overall vision as well. Speaking of which, I've promised to get a revision out soon and will do so before the PM work starts.

If your a regular user or follower of these efforts, please speak your mind and ask questions. I can't make or change anything when presented with silence. :)

Manual Poll: Should the Resource Center use a fixed window size 1024x600 (Supports NetBook users) which enables a cleaner look or should we use the current design which floats all content in the middle of unused space depending on your resolution? To give you an idea of what I see with roughly 1600x1000.

Fail post below. Anyhow.. this is coming a LONG way. Good work. I'm interested in hearing more about your Project Management app.
Should add a list of top benefiters, how much people have sold, etc.

Corrected? - "Fail post below"
Ive been on here a few times and honestly, there doesnt seem to be that much action happening there. I havent seen any new post for a while and in all honesty, the only thing I would consider buying is the dynamic lighting/ambient sound thing. However for almost 20 dollars, I would rather just download foomers dynamic lighting lib for free and figure out the rest myself with some help from the developers forum. And that is no offense to the person who made the dynamic system, I checked out the demo and it looks amazing and I want to buy it so bad, but I refuse to part with 25 dollars [for the 25,000 silver coins] or 18 dollars [for 10,000 5,000 and 3-1,000 silver coin packs] when half of the work is already done for me and the other half might be annoying, but it is free. This is a cool system however and It has alot of potential, I just dont think it is all there yet. I will keep checking in and maybe if the cost is lowered or there is some kind of special sale or so0mething I will buy it, hopefully the next time I check there are alot more submissions. =] Either way great job from what I have seen!

Thanks for the feedback. The available assets and price are entirely up to the BYOND developer community. I hope more people submit more assets over time and I hope they adjust prices accordingly as well.

Thanks!
