MX Bikes Central is live!
Have been working on this on and off over the last couple of months in-between other projects. The idea being that if you guys have somewhere decent to upload tracks / skins / models etc.. it gives us more of a reason to create in the first place. A good custom content driven community is one thing MX-Bikes is going to need.
Register, user account and 200mb file upload, first 3 uploads have to be approved then you will become a full member with the freedom to upload and have it automatically added
Download others content - all uploads are public
Rate content and receive ratings
Comment and reply to comments on uploaded items
Category and archive views with category tree and breadcrumbs, plus search feature (emphasis on navigation and categorisation)
Top uploads of the month list
News and updates front page
Nothing groundbreaking, but it's a good start to what could be a great content site. I've tried to make it as intuitive as possible so it should be pretty user friendly. Just hope you guys find it useful and also hope it's a positive for MX-Bikes in general!
Please note: Be patient with the upload, it's not as easy as I thought to implement a progress bar so we're currently stuck with a spinner to indicate the upload process IS working. Skins shouldn't be a problem, bu if uploading a track give it some time. In tests, uploading something roughly 130mb took about 4 - 5 minutes.
If anyone spots anything that isn't working, or something odd looking please tell us - It's in early stages and so far has only been tested by 2 people (albeit very thoroughly).
Currently the site only supports the uploading of tracks and skins. Models will come soon, but until some are made it's hard to judge how to structure things. If anyone has any suggestions of what they want to see added category wise just say, feedback will be welcomed..
The site is currently run by myself and Gdub. just wanted to say a big thanks to him for all his input during the design process and his continued support and contributions.
Lastly, please read the site rules and the FAQ (found in the stickied 'Welcome' news article and also in the footer). Please consider others when using the site and try and play by the rules, as if it's abused it will be taken down. I made this in my spare time because of the love I have for MX-Bikes and because I want to see it do well and encourage community involvement..
