Now using drupal
Submitted by on Tuesday, 16 December, 2003 - 02:13
So we're now using drupal. Users, stories and links have been moved over. So many downloads were broken that we're just going to start from scratch with those. Everyone should submit useful files to the new downloads section. You can still get files from the old version of the site.
Some differences in drupal: You have a menu whose title is your user name. This menu lets you do lots of different things. In particular, it has a 'Create content' submenu where you can submit files, stories, links, polls or post in the forums.
Also important is the 'view submissions' item. This is a major difference from postnuke. While submissions can still be instantly approved by moderators (and perhaps we should have a few more of these), registered users can also vote to approve submissions. Currently I have it set so that 3 positive votes will approve a submission.
