Update on ModDB next generation [Update 2]

	Just a brief note to let you all know what's going on behind the scenes with the ModDB development. As you know, the three main sites are to be merged this year which means the ModDB and ThemeDB will also be merged. So, Myself, Barspin and slaughter have begun work on the new "AddonDB". That's right, after the merged site is up and running with the new db, Mods will be in future be referred to as "Addons". This new Addondb will host not just existing mods, infusions, panels, etc but, themes and general graphics as well. Members will also be able to submit news cat images, banners and any Fusion related graphics. Work has really only just begun, but we will be adding a lot of new features including an Authors Dashboard enabling Addon Authors to edit their entries for updates, etc. Proposed Functions: 1. Authors Dashboard 2. New updated submission form with clever js validation script. 3. Option for live preview of submission. 4. Database search. 5. Thumbnail images option 5. Remote Homepage AddonDB statistics display for your submissions. 6. Easier translation submission. Removed Functions: 1. Member Rating - poor usage in existing db causing unreliable results. 2. Auto support thread creation - not needed As the work is still at an early stage, I don't have anything substantial to show you yet. As the work progresses, we'll add some screenshots and maybe a live preview. Feel free to comment below with your ideas. We can't promise to add them in but maybe someone has an idea we haven't thought of yet. Addon Dev Team Team Leader: HobbyMan Lead Developer: Barspin Developer: slaughter Here's a look at the new submit form - [work in progress]

sounds great!!

I think it will be all messed up.
Site will work slower and similar stuff.

I hope my word will not come true...

Just make sure it's made right. If you need help with a theme for it, I guess I could contribute.

Wow, the enthusiasm is distinctly underwhelming.
We'll do our best, not much point in making it wrong.

Thanx for the offer, but the theme for the new merged site is being made by Digitanium.

I like it.
Looks like its core / layout will be based on the themes DB with fieldsets wich gives a nice stable base and a clean look too.

Keep the good work up!

Ah Digitanium himself, who better to design it. I'm sure it will be great.
