Scratch

The first Panther projects have been submitted and uploaded to the Panther site. This is only a temporary laoding method, as soon as our proper sharing site is up and running, there will be an upload button in Panther that will save me a LOT of work! For the time being, I'm afraid we have a 5mb upload limit for files, which means that Kingdaro's AMAZING beat jam project could not be uploaded    I will be sure to load it onto the new site just as soon as it comes up.

Users may notice that we have a colour coded rosett seal system in place, this allows you to make educated guesses about the projects we have on our site.

here are the two we have agreed on so far, other will follow. The rosetts apply to the user and the project.

green: Means that the user has never released any dangerous projects in the past or that that project has been checked by a member of the Panther team and found nothing that could be even potentially harmful.

black: (user only) this user is a Panther member of the Panther team and can be completely trusted.

It's great that we will be able to upload directly to the Panther Site. This will save us a lot of time.

This isn't a very convincing criterion.  If you mean "the user has previously released zillions of project none of which were dangerous" that'd be better.  (I do understand there's a startup problem!)

don't worry, we have plans for new users to have a different colour rosett as default, if they have that colour, it means they have been registered for less than two weeks or have less that 10 projects, whichever comes first.

the message would be something like:

this user is new, please be helpful and friendly towards them, but take some care when watching their projects as this person has not proved themselves reliable yet

.. it needs a lot of work, I know, but I think that something along those lines will help.

we'll also be likely to have special colours for people who have, say, 50 projects that are all green, to indicate they are trustworthy and maybe ones for citizenship if they are very helpful at all times, and ones for winning competitions, though we're trying not to over complicate the colouring, otherwise people will become confused.

Thanks to everyone who has registered so far, I'm glad to see that this idea is working 

Yes bharvey, I want that one too, I just have no idea how to do that one. at the moment, I just do <not<contents of file[test.txt] = > (blank)

I would think it applies to Panther users and projects only, It's still in developmental stages at the moment, and the colour system isn't going to come into full effect until the proper sharing site is up and running. For now, I think black, green and orange will the the only colours (orange being an unchecked project or one that has file blocks, custom blocks or URL blocks in it)

I have to go to a psychology lesson now, expect me back in four hours or so.

Sadly, being smart is not a guarantee of being well-intentioned.  (I was thinking of listing well-known examples but don't want to start a political flame war    )  When you have user pages running, you can put decorations on users for reasons like that, but you should keep decorations on projects to mean just safety.  Imho.

PS You should hurry up and get sandboxing working to avoid the need for all this; an unwanted side effect of a big visible security scheme is that it will make people hesitant about Panther altogether.  (I'm thinking about that "my parents won't let me download it" message a few pages back, although those particular parents weren't worried about Panther per se.)

Same Here. They Need To Fix That. 

Hi. I can get a .co.uk domain name, will take about a week to set up. If you would like it. Just send a reply to me if you are interested and what domain. This will be provided free of charge.

Thanks.

We can publish a weebly site to an owned domain, right?

Could we maybe have something like 'pantherprogramming.co.uk'?

I have just asked him and he said he'll get that. If there is any other requests for domains please ask.

Yeah just to confirm what Sperry said, I will be aquiring your domain and it should be with you soon. If you would like any other ones then please tell me as I can get them free with a packagr I have got.

Please note that the web adress will be www.pantherprogramming.co.uk, you will have to put all the www's and the .co.uk. I searched Panther.co.uk but this is taken. Personally I think that pantherprogramming is a bit too long but if you have any other suggestions please tell me.

Thanks! 

Hi guys, just quickly signing in in the break 

blimey, I can see that our colour systems has some big flaws 

Rossyboyfilm, you've been helping alot lately, It's nice to see so much support for Panther. I like the idea of a .co.uk address, though why do you think we should change sites?

erm... what else... oh yes, I'l hae a look at the page not found problem when I get home, there's also a problem that they're all .sb because they were made before we changed to .pt so I think I'll try to re-upload them with the correct extention.

The more I and others use Panther, the more glitches appear. It seems that we need to address those things soon, and post a major bug fix for them We'll announce it here, on the Panther site and via Panthernews so people will hopefully notice it when it's published.

I'm not here thursday to sunday either  , so Sperry will hopefull cover for me and keep the glitch reports coming in

Question bump

sparks didn't answer my question...

Whoops, sorry. I'm not really that sure what you mean. I'm all for it, but I don't understand what you're doing.
