The new website
The new website
...is coming along, for real. Thanks to sir_mud, who has offered to work on the new site, and has done so since about a few weeks ago, when v1ctor installed Drupal. From what I heard, v1ctor is hoping to be able to properly install the new site over the weekend. And they're working on setting up a new forum too, which isn't yet sure to work out though.
For now, the new site is here: http://freebasic.net/drop/
I don't know how much it's different to the original plan of going with Joomla, but it sure is nicer and easier to manage than the old site. sir_mud implemented this very clear and clean design, which I personally really like. And holy smokes, it has a new FB logo with cool slogans under it (who can figure out how often they change?), and a gallery with screenshots, and non-outdated download links.
So let's see where this goes!

Have a picture gallery with screen shots
KISS = good
SOT (sea of text ) = bad
you cant call yourself a programmer if you ignore HCI
FWIW feel free to pillage this

Log ins aren't transferred over yet, won't be until the forum integration is ready.
I've tried to ensure there is sufficient spacing so it's not just a sea of text, it should flow like a river :p This will be taking over the main page @ freebasic.net so no links need to be added/changed at the wiki page.TESLACOIL wrote: SOT (sea of text ) = bad

Good work!
I've noticed that the forum banner links to http://www.freebasic.net/index.php which doen't exist anymore. It shouldn't be an issue after migrating the forum but for now it could confuse people.

Added an alias so index.php loads the main page.MOD wrote:Good work!
