    I miss the old screenshots box on the main page. I feel no motivation to dig through the current system to check out if there are new screenshots, but I loved them pretty much back then, and they are encouraging for visitors from the outside, seeing what can be done with MorphOS and how it looks like.

    Bring it back if possible, please! :-) Even without comments, or by permitting only the author to post a comment about.

    It's kinda a competition, who has the nicest desktop and an excellent place to show off new programs running. :-)

    I liked the old system better too, save for three things:

    1. Not possible to moderate the posts.
    2. That #$%##$ reload bug.
    3. Guess who had to hand place those screenshots on the front page? (the current system is random)

    Other than those three things, I liked the old system better too. I'm not just blowing wind either. I liked the layout better, I liked the "in between" size, and several other things.

    Maybe over the weekend, I'll try to figure out how to limit the image shown in the front page block to screengrabs...

    Have you succeeded? I bet there would be much more screenshots that way. :-)

    A bit related thing, it would be nice to have an option in Ambient prefs to define a basedir of picures, and have random background pictures on every boot.

    I use a small util (filepick is the name maybe), but nevertheless it'd be an excellent addition to the features. (but I propose random themes, I mean different MUI, skin, background etc.)

    Done!

    Please submit screengrabs to the User-Grabs area of the photoalbum. ONLY screenshots will appear on the frontpage now!!!!

    Okay, now I've added a quick link to the ambient user grabs that are already there. So, above the picture, you can go to the ambient grabs, the full photo album, or submit a pic directly.


    No more excuses! Get to uploading your desktop grab!! :-)

    I'll have to wait a bit, the shots I want to upload aren't public yet. :-)

    But there are definitely awesome things in the making :-)
