You didn't do a very good job of it, though:
#page, #pagepreview, #subpreviewwin
{
  font-family:/*helvetica,*/serif;
  color:#000;
  padding:3px
}
This is one of many instances in the code.
Ah. It seems you're right. Now I changed everything to sans-serif, sans the headers.

That would be pointless for most people. Nobody cares about filenames except you.
And how much harm would it cause if the file name was mentioned somewhere (maybe hidden behind one of those tabs)? Why make things deliberately harder for some people just because some other people don't care?
In fact, I give you something that will make your job easier: Prefix every movie with "0000-moviename", where 0000 is the movie ID. Then you won't have to "guess" about anything.
Horrible solution for two reasons: 1) If I rename the files, I cannot seed them anymore. 2) Doing that automatically would be difficult.

Hmm... the front page needs hanging indents for every line in there. It looks kinda awkward for a really long line to wrap around without a hanging indent since there is no space in between each entry.

Fine, if the attitude is to make the life of people who want to help seeding as hard as possible, then maybe I should just remove all the videos I have and never help seeding again. Just f*ck it. It's not like I made this request for selfish reasons.

Actually, you did, because the change would directly benefit you (and about two other people, judging from replies). Most people would have a torrent client that was capable of renaming a single file download though, I'd have hoped.

Crying about it like a baby, which is the impression the text gave me, does not help your case, warp.

I don't think you understand. I'm keeping the entire collection of published videos in my hard drive, and I help seeding any of them when there is need. I remove obsoleted movies because there's no need to seed those anymore, and to free disk space. A small piece of information in the website would make the task of keeping the published movies and deleting the obsoleted ones much easier. Exactly how is this a selfish reason? I certainly don't watch the over 500 avi files I have in my hard disk. I keep them there as a collection, but most importantly so that I can help seed them when necessary. Clearly you don't appreciate my efforts to try to help the site seeding the videos. Given the enormous amounts of seeders for all the videos, including the oldest and least downloaded ones, I can really see why my help is not needed nor appreciated. Thus I should just do the unselfish thing and stop trying to help and get myself 35 GB more of disk space by removing all those avi files.

Fine. Since my help as a seeder is clearly not appreciated nor needed, I'll just stop doing it. Now you can go laugh to me with your buddies.

Actually, I was about to suggest you just drop them in specific folders (which would even allow (gasp) better organization!) if you can't rename them, but okay.

Wow... some people must be upset today... What's with the bickering in these threads today? This argument is completely pointless anyway. The only real progress was to get Warp to specify exactly why he wanted the change, but that does not offset what else took place... Just stop the arguing and see what Bisqwit decides. You have no power to decide whether Warp's idea is horrible or not anyway, XKeeper, but asking for clarification without attacking would have been fine.

Similarly, you have no power to govern here. You are not a moderator. (Also, the k is lowercase in my name.)

So, what, he should have gone and bothered a moderator just because he thought your behavior was inappropriate? There's degrees of chastising, and moderators, for ill or good, can only really bring out the big guns -- either they ban you outright, or they have to tell you that your behavior's inappropriate, which is as good as a threat of banning. There's no "Okay, you get a time-out for ten minutes to think about what you said." If you're free to belittle Warp, and he's free to insult you, then blahmoomoo is free to call fie on you both. A little social censure won't kill you.

I... am not that fond of the new site. is there a way to organize the "Newest movie publications" display so it shows each days worth of video's in a separate section to each other? can we (on a user by user basis, remove the starred and recent movie submissions from the front page? at the moment it is just waay too cluttered and hard to read and work out from a glance, what the latest published movies are.

I agree, it's kinda hard to tell what's been added today(I'm lazy and don't want to read, and I usually only spend 10 sec on the main page).

I think I suggested something like this:
2008-01-02  #1927 JXQ's Eatin' at Joe's in 04:30.00
            #1926 Somebody's Boring Adventure Game in 99:59:59.99
            #1925 He's Running Out of Examples in 00:00.01
2008-01-01  #1000 A really old movie in 19:38.17
2008-00-99  # 999 Old movie II and who cares
But damned if I know where or when.

That would work, instead of having it like it is now:
2008-01-02  #1927 JXQ's Eatin' at Joe's in 04:30.00
2008-01-02  #1926 Somebody's Boring Adventure Game in 99:59:59.99
2008-01-02  #1925 He's Running Out of Examples in 00:00.01
2008-01-01  #1000 A really old movie in 19:38.17

Also, adding a 3px gap between the days would look good, like this:

Uhhh, am I the only one who wonders why the background colours of headings were removed?
<klmz> it reminds me of that people used to keep quoting adelikat's IRC statements in the old good days <adelikat> no doubt <adelikat> klmz, they still do

This looks like a nice idea. But I wonder if it's possible to render that without resorting to table layouting?

This is a good idea, also maybe something like columns so every individual part is lined up? EG:
DATE       PUBLICATION NUMBER       GAME NAME       REGION    AUTHOR       TIME       FILE TYPES       PREVIOUS TIMES
DATE       PUBLICATION NUMBER       GAME NAME       REGION    AUTHOR       TIME       FILE TYPES       PREVIOUS TIMES
DATE       PUBLICATION NUMBER       GAME NAME       REGION    AUTHOR       TIME       FILE TYPES       PREVIOUS TIMES
at the moment it is like
DATE       PUBLICATION NUMBER     GAME NAME    REGION    AUTHOR      TIME       FILE TYPES      PREVIOUS TIMES
DATE      PUBLICATION NUMBER     GAME NAME       REGION    AUTHOR     TIME      FILE TYPES   PREVIOUS TIMES
DATE        PUBLICATION NUMBER            GAME NAME             REGION    AUTHOR       TIME  FILE TYPES  PREVIOUS TIMES

If you're doing that, then it could be made that only the game is hyperlinked, and maybe the authors could be linked to their user pages aswell
