Site news!

1. User logins are available to all! Become authenticated! Until I get a proper big flashing link up, head here: http://www.gamesdiner.com/user . Registration entails the usual email-based confirmation.

Chief benefits will include the ability to edit your own comments and manage subscriptions (newsletter, threads, etc.). Once I know things are working smoothly, I can slather additional benefits upon authenticated userhood.

2. You are of course heartily welcome to contribute bigger content (articles! reviews! essays!) than just comments - though for now, an escalation in user privilege is required. Easy for me to do; just shoot me a message.

3. Since updgrading to Drupal 5, text input / editing has been the site's bête noire, with every available solution biting users at some point. A recent update to the current editor, however, is looking better. You should see a plain text field by default, with an "enable rich text" link below; that link should provide a few simple, light controls for gussying up your words.

In theory, anyway. If your browser and computer generate another awful experience, please let me know.

4. When commenting/posting, you may (that is, should) see a simple "captcha" challenge, proving that you are indeed a non-spambot human. Even though it's only of the "what's 2 + 5?" nature that won't hinder any dice-lovin' gamer, I hate to toss it upon you, but such are the times we live in. Some of the comments I get otherwise, while possessed of a certain salacious charm, just aren't about gaming, at least not as we know it.

5. Polls are still fried, for some reason not showing results. It's web gremlins, that's what it is. -end-
