Clean out your cookies and refresh the forum then go to the gallery and do the same.
Login to the gallery first then use the top menu to go to the forum and login to that second. This should work.

I've started working on my own games (one of which with oldtimer Talvara), won't be much pixel art though. Is it okay if I post something like a development log in the WIP section?

Yeah I'm aware that we're allowed to post NPA stuff on the boards.
It's just that I'm slightly annoying with dump threads in many
places. In particular stuff like this because it's more just an advert
saying "please buy this game" than a progress thread or anything
informative. I didn't really know how to express what I meant a
few days ago (still not super clear, I guess) plus there's an obvious
conflict of interest which makes things messy.

What I guess it comes down to, though is me feeling like I wanna
post my stuff. But I also feel like there should be stricter guide-
lines about what a promo-thread (which is what these are, really)
would have to do to still be acceptable as a regular forum post.
And it feels disingenuous/hypocritical to post my own sh*t and then
start telling others they're not to do as I do but do as I say.

Long story short; I think there ought to be a discussion on such
threads and I'm feeling kind of iffy posting my work right now.

I understand. I'd rather not see promo stuff either but its something we can't really object to if its pixelart related because some PJers learn from all kinds of ways and that's as valid as any other visual example.
I suppose the best we could do about these posts is label PROMO as we so with NPA???

I think it's different if you're a regular member and have an honest connection with the people you're sharing your life with. The different between you and someone else is that we actually care about what you're doing(or at least more than someone who we don't know anything about).

I agree about the promo topics being very annoying. Especially when people actually try to critique the work not realizing. I've seen it a few times lately and it bugs me. I'm viewing the W.I.P forum for a reason, I don't want to hear about some game that's already finished.

I mean can't they post advertising somewhere?

So, guys, is there a way in the gallery to only display pieces you've not yet rated? I've been rating stuff for a bit now but I've not spotted a way to keep track...

1 wooow, it has taken you 9 years to find that random unrated button?
2 nooo don't do it! You are helping anyone nor yourself by rating random artworks, and there is no pot of gold at the end of this rainbow of awful pixels!

I needed to rate like 50 more works to achieve level 2 and be able to vote in the public queue.

And yeah I was kind of half aware of that button. I didn't think of it last night but I've used it several years ago I think. But it's not very good at actually keeping track. It gets my current request done, though.

Also, I can only vaguely remember those average scores and the extra rating boxes. Isn't that kind of unbalanced though? I mean, if cure was the only rater of a certain piece, it could get a 9 out of 5...

I don't really care for pot, nor gold. Alcohol and silver are more my things ;)

The numbers beneath the squares are only visible because I'm (technically) a mod. The first number is the total amount of squares given, the second number is the number of votes. iirc the first number is the only one that matters for showcase/monthly top rankings.

Hang on, so ranking is based purely on total accrued squares? That would explain why the gallery is stagnant, the oldest winners keep accruing squares but a new piece that gets a week long of 5-blocks isn't enough to break through the barrier.

Could at least put an option in the search to show only pieces within a certain Date range..That might give a better impression as to what was hot each year or whatever is specified.

Try

Day doesn't matter, but month and year at the end will give you the highest ranking pieces of that month..

Not much. Well. It's still much, it's thousands of posts, but it's not getting that much activity any more.

I figure we see it through to 20.000 posts, lock it and save it for posterity or something.`

So have you people got something like newyears resolutions?

I didn't have anything thought out specifically as a resolution but I have been a bit more productive the past month or so and I'd like to continue that trend. Also to start running a bit again (nothing much, up to 10 km) when it stops being cold and wet.

I dont really do resolutions, instead I have a long evolving document of goals and such. It's mostly been work focused the past few years, this year I'm going to take the first batch of my licensing exams and work on a portfolio. Also in 2014 I lived my biggest, best, crazy-coolest travel dream, so now I need to figure out where else I want to go and what I want to do and start to save up and plan for it. Any ideas?

Yes, my idea:
Travel without saving up and without planning for it! Hitchhike, couch surf, knock on strangers doors, walk, talk, sleep under the starry sky or if it is raining hide the whole night in a gas station in a country where you don't know even know the words for yes and no in their language.

Bring a musical instrument with you, when you don't know what to do just practise at the nearest bus stop or anywhere else where people are waiting, and you'll have an instant connection with people who's names you still can't pronounce after trying the third time.

You'll reach highs and lows you had never imagined to exist, and will come back home a tenfold richer than you had left.

Or you'd die on the streets.

For a long while now I've wanted to go to Morocco and walk/sleep in the desert. Maybe this year? Also I kind of want to buy a Volvo Amazon and drive all the way around the Mediterranean in it - but that's not gonna happen soon.

Have you heard of Macchu Picchu (probably) and Salar de Uyuni(less likely)? Also quite interesting places.

yikes, that's not for me. I have a friend who's doing that now, he's like 8 months into traveling the world with only a backpack and not much of a plan - and while I'm envious of all the things he's seen and done, I would not enjoy that kind of thing.

I'm thinking for now I should just travel around the US until I get a new big dream. Maybe go to Yellowstone?

Oh no I would have a plan of sorts, with hotels and a rough schedule and a car instead of a backpack, just seems like a relatively efficient way of visiting all countries like Spain, Morocco, Egypt, Greece, Italy and all in between.

By travel around the U.S. you mean backpacking through the states or working a year in a state and then moving on? Because backpacking is backpacking, still. =P

If you go to Yellowstone make a selfie riding a bear. Are there bears there? If not, a deer.
