even though he's 11 (about 4 years younger than i am)........

step one: find the page you need to capture. step 2, find prt scrn|sys rq button. step 3, press it. step four, open pait or paint.net and press paste. save the image and upload it. took me a bit to get it but it works.
even though he's about 11 years younger than i am i would like to speak to him to get a feel for what the younger people would like. i don't want to just cater to my own needs, i want to open the world of PC programming to the masses

Thanks Axylon. Your site is GREAT for it has high potential - far above the "code only" sites.
Yes of course we want to encourage those already skilled enough to write in Basic, C** etc but we ALSO want to encourage and "light the fire" in those that have iDEAS but do not know where to start
As for me, I don't even know how to "take a screenshot" (What I mean is my brain is full up and I prefer to leave space for new ideas rather than remembering arbitrary syntax).
I am trying hard to get my Grandson Harvey to join and he is 4 years younger than you so BOTH OF YOU are exactly the right "ideas" age to get a GREAT site running!

ok john, i think that your ideas are good, but if you somehow did this:
No PMs any more. No contact Axlyon
Only email to members
Topics, such as my "Ideas" closed without saying they are closed; leaving us to find out they are closed!
Transferred to "my projects" - there is no such and search cannot find it
Nearest seems to be "Child Boards"
Child boards is ENTIRELY DEVOTED to mere TOOLS (such as QBas, C++ etc etc) and DOES NOT MENTION the IDEAS that MOTIVATE us to WANT to learn how to use tools and get them to HELP us.
You are making the SAME mistake as the failed QB64 site . Talking only of CODE rasther than "what the user longs to do"
You may be the dictator, but you have ENTIRELY FAILED to see that ideas and tools are OPPOSITES.

i can't find where this might have been, or how it could have been sent, but i'm pretty sure that this is running fine. if you wish, send me a screenshot or two, give me some time to get someone with experience running a forum on as a moderator. the reason i dedicated the boards to java, C and BASIC was so people could post their projects in that language in the specific board so that i and others could tell what the code was without having to ask. john, i'm only 15. give me some credit for having the patience to create and try to make this thing into a fully working forum! btw john, the "your projects" section is here: http://technogamedevforum.createaforum.com/your-game-projects/ as for the rest i'll ask a friend to sign up and by all means, please take some screen-shots and send them to me with a little bit of proof of this. like i said, as far as i can tell, everything's OK. i'll check the admin center again to see if there's an error report, but this might not show up as easy on my end
EDIT
i just ran a check and the forum can't find anything

the "your projects" section is dedicated to that

A place on this site for IDEAS
IDEAS (what you want to do) are far far more important and alive than the mere means (programs, tools) to do them.
This site could be the first to discuss ideas more than the mere tools that might do them!
It would be the place to FIND OUT what really interests users most - the games and other things they WISH existed.
Given THAT, we can start creating them!
So send in your ideas - as detailed as possible. Not just "An exciting game" but one that IS exciting BECAUSE of the ideas you have imagined and told us about are making things happen the way you hoped!
