Can there be an actual response to what's clearly a valid point rather than "cba" considering there are things that could be changed extremely quickly to attempt improvements and if V7 is as far away as it seems then it's certainly worth setting it back one more day to sort out some things that need urgent attention. Quite frankly it makes no sense whatsoever to lump all updates into one new version if it's going to take that long, and I for one would far rather see V6.352786 and have things doing well than sit around hoping that a new skin will fix all our problems

Pretty sure whenever you make a valid point nobody replies

So basically david left and no-one asked him for his coding?

It was very little coding. He started making it when he spoke to Jess for HabboxLive merge ideas but Jess left/fired and then David wasn't round much longer after that. None of it would have been use today in terms of a whole new site/whatever else.

@beth;, @Kardan; @Marketing; this is going back a few pages but are you mainly talking about the news reports on the front page currently? I'm only bringing this up as they're all mine, but I do agree, recently I've been bolding too much sometimes it might be just because some of it doesn't seem that important and I think I need to bold at least one thing per article - I'm sure this is simple to work on.

I was talking generally, so I cannot speak on this topic in that sense. Beth mentioned it, so I pointed out it has been an issue before

Historically, I have always thought bolding has been used too much.

The pressure is on for V7 to be something really special.

The same pressure was there for V6 - and unfortunately that didn't reach (my) expectations.

why do we have a forum skinner if he doesnt do anything anymore?
Plus the people who worked at the start and dont now why are they still here?
Surely your carrying dead weight

Kieran and Elliot can go as I don't believe they are working on anything but Tom + Will is staying.

Yeah happens in pretty much every thread, I'll say something then a few pages later someone repeats it and suddenly it's a great issue worthy of hundreds of reps lmao

Quick someone c&p my posts so that Matt actually looks at them

I've already done a full explanation earlier in this thread. The issue is where do I stop. To fix all the issues would take longer than it would to finish V7 at this point, especially since HotelUser's folder structure isn't the clearest. Sure I can fix the occasional bug but in the grand scheme it achieves very little. If there are small bugs that have serious ramifications I'm more than willing to fix them and in fact the serious ones I do, if you report them in the bugs forum and it doesn't involve hours of searching around the V6 file structure I'll probably fix it , however if I start fixing every last bug and implementing all the features that are asked of me then we'll never see V7. Frankly half the requests for fixes/changes to V6 require architectural changes (e.g. adding LE rares) and frankly I'm not in the mood to start ******* around with David's code when it's not even commented.

other sites seem to churn out new layouts with great features all the times in short spaces.... habbox would want to be coding a working dice rigger or something that doubles your furni at this stage to set it apart from what other sites don't already have. all the work seems to be going into coding staff panels to take track of how long someone is behind a desk :S i find that totally stupid lol

what does elliot do?

I assume Kieran does forum skinning, parts of the V7 etc?

Looking back at some articles bolding has usually been decreased, but perhaps it might just be coming back as a problem now.

Also, I asked this earlier but can signing up to Habbox.com be enabled again or are we waiting for v7... if not let guests post on news articles.

Elliot helped with skins and also released a new skin for the community.

Kieran came onto the team when he helped with forum skins when we upgraded vBulletin. He then helped us with V7 and designed the main style for it. He also did some other coding for it and then stopped. I think he's helped Will now and then.
