PTv3.1 Released

Version 3.1 included the following changes:

  • mySQL databases are now being used to store and display member and game data as opposed to just flat HTML code.
    • The members.html and games.html page have been converted to PHP pages that utilize mySQL databases to display the member/game info. ^o^
    • Members/Games determined to be 'Inactive' are not shown on their directory pages.
    • The featured member / game function is now fully automated! Once a day it'll randomly pick an active member and game and display them on the homepage as well as in the directories!
  • Certain pages have been aliased using .htaccess
  • Custom error pages have been made for errors 400, 401, 403, 404, and 500, as well as for the application, registration, and news submission forms. (Try 'em out, I think they're pretty neat!)
  • Both of the forms both on the /news page and the /join page have been altered to help prevent spam
  • The width of the content areas on pages has been increased from 600px to 700px
  • 76 known bad bots and site rippers have been permanently blocked
