During the last weeks we've been working on a new, well structured and laid out Mod-page design. Now we're ready to present the results and want to provide a quick list of the new features.

Improved layout

Until now we had to create a new thread for every new version but now the version numbers are flexible and will be updated by every change to the version number the coder does. This makes the whole thing neatly arranged and more comfortable.
One other addition is the "mark as installed" option. This will support the coder and inform the user on updates automatically.

The attached files are located at the bottom of the post as usual but includes additional info now like co-authors, screen shots and some information on how to support the coder.

PayPal support

Another new feature is the paypal support for coders. Every coder now has the option to add his paypal address to his profile. In this case it's visible in the info box on the mod page.

Profile tab "mods"

Thanks to a new profile tab all mods published by a coder are now visible at a glance.

Automatic update messages

You can now receive automatic updates for every mod you like. To activate that just use the "Edit settings" link from the info box. Those are off by default and can be activated as desired. You can also choose the type of message you want to receive.

Included bug tracker

Currently active mods can now have their own bug tracker. Every coder is free to use it or not. This makes working on bugs much easier and keeps the actual threads clean. If a mod has the bug tracker enabled it will be displayed on the mod's page including all errors, features and tasks.

Further information

- The new mod system is only available for future releases. All older mods won't be changed.
- The PayPal option is only available to our full coders. Guest coders can not use this feature (but upgrades to full coder status are possible).
