[Latest] WTS World CCN

But a front page isn’t the place for credits. The readme is there exactly for that purpose. The front page should be uncluttered, clean and simple. On top of that, those same people who only read the headlines A) won’t read through the whole text anyways, they’ll skip after the first few lines and B) won’t see the other mods below as they stopped reading that long credit list and changed page.
That means only the first few lines of the latest news item will be read by many… I don’t believe this is the best method.
Plus, if you don’t give a good description, you’ll just look like a generic announcement and will be ignored.

FrendlyFire, I was only giving you the nod for thinking like many other news sites. The method they use (And I apparently mistook you to be referring too) allows XX amount of lines for the headline section that is always seen. Most wanting to post news understand this and write the top part to benefit it, the ones that can’t comprehend this, their submission is automatically clipped anyway. Solves your having to repeatedly argue with submitters about the layout of news posts…
Of course one of your other options is to publicly review each submission and look very similar to Mindhunter nit picking over details. ::)

One person make the fronline post, with the most important stuff.
And put a link to the whole details for that mod in a topic, or a link the the servers own forum.
If people are curious they can read it.If not, than they don’t click on the link.
Simple
But is it now a coincident that this discussion starts by Mindhunter, because of the WTS?
I see more mods who has that long storyline on the frontline, and i didn’t hear him/nobody.
Just cursious -

Just cursiousThat was no offense WW, I know there are other long news but the WTS news are the latest ones so why should i post in a need threat from 2 or 3 months ago?
I just tryed to show people what can be improved, but you’re right your news are fantastic ;D -
The Solurus Systems announcement, Crossfire, TFL, Universal Zone and many others suffer from the same kind of issue. WTS just happened to be the “trigger”. Don’t worry Wicked_Witch, that wasn’t aimed at you.

We probably have more modders here.
than players reading the Starport news.
Credits might be of some interest 4 those.
And atleast we will be able 2 fix those a bit,
with the infos provided under this topic.Regardless:
It might make sens, 2 cut the WTS news
on the frontpage above
"Major changes/additions in WTS version 4.17: "
Due 2 “irritations” in the past between NU + WTS,
a wise man might have picked another example. -

I know what you mean.
But it’s no co-incident for my feeling, that WTS is now the trigger
Atleast, they seems to trigger more ::) ;DAnd as a wise woman i shall not type what i think further
