Default MTS2 Changes - February 2007 Part 1
Hi All,

Time for some tweaks, changes and new features on MTS2 - this is by no means the end of them this month, but the maintenance today was laying some groundwork for more changes coming Real Soon Now (tm).

Firstly, you may remember the download caching that got put in a month or so ago and one of the consequences was that the default view was set to "All Downloads".

This has now been fixed so that the download page now defaults back to "Compatible".

Secondly, the Featured Downloads page has now totally disappeared as a seperate one here on the site, and has now been integrated fully into the main Downloads section. Clicking on Featured Downloads now shows the usual download view, with the filters and everything working as normal.

Thirdly, as mentioned above, I've done work on preparing for Seasons among other things, as well as fixed a small bug involving stripes on the colouriffic member profile pages.

More to come later this month.

Regards
Delphy

There's a wee little issue with this, apparently (it might be an old one? not sure): Changing the filter to "All Downloads" works fine as long as I stay on the page I'm on, but as soon as I go to any other page it resets itself to "Compatible". Switching it back to "All" shows all, but sends me back to Page 1 when the page reloads. (Which means if I want to see All, I can't look past page 1 effectively)

However, if I go "Advanced" and *manually* check all extensions, everything's as it should be (all downloads visible, and I can jump between pages without resetting the filter) .. which leads me to believe it works in principle, just not quite with the right button.

Just thought I'd let you know =).

Fenric, it's the weekend. Lots of people downloading. Did you see the bit about "Try again later"?
