Hey There-

I like the site, but I miss the days of being able to see the newest packages on a single page.

Along with networking, games, etc etc - how about adding an "all" view to the opening page?

Yea, it was rather effiecient but the main page was about 60KB. It took a long time to load on my 14.4 heh. I'll see what I can do and thanks alot for the suggestion.

Well I've tried creating a program that would search all the seperate pages and return the five latest additions/updates but it isn't feasible. I could put every listing from each section all on one page, but they still would not be sorted according to date. If anyone has a suggestion as to how i could list the last few additions seperately let me know!

how about creating your own markup language? hell, microsoft and claris did it, why can't you?
for each entry on the individual pages, put a tag at the beginning. maybe something like <forked date=01012001>.
then if you're doing a program like you said to try and grab them all, you can just search out the <forked> tags, order them according to date, golden.

just a thought.

Well the markup tag was a good idea and it worked, but i had another problem. I decided i'll just manage the last 5 additions manually. <A HREF="http://macosx.forked.net/last5.php3" TARGET=_blank>http://macosx.forked.net/last5.php3</A> . I hope this is helpful [img]images/icons/smile.gif"%20border="0[/img]
