Only 3 screenshots nowadays? The 4th was handy, although i can live without it :-)
perhaps automatically scaling-down the very large screenshots when they are clicked on, those people who post fill screens seem far too big

Movies option looks cool though :-)


It was good when you could enter the mod ID for dependencies, although perhaps a compination of both to also cater for mods not on this site (shocking i know, but still people seem to do it :S)


the mod update window doesn't quite feel right, and i know thats been mentioned before, personally i feel its just too narrow.
Also - back on the old site if i remember correctly a mod was only considered "updated" when the files were changed, which seemed like a good idea as it stopped people bumping their mods simply by editing the description, and you could see which mods had really been updated

You have a very good point on the update "bumping" which I will fix tommorow.

The way the dependencies work is you just have to type the name of each dependency separated by a comma and the site does the rest of the work for you.

Perhaps put a wee note next to that field? I didn't realise it would automatically link the mod name to its url (if I understand correctly that's what actually happens).
