  • Great... just read the old private messages were removed a few weeks ago ....

    Not so great really ... had lots of messages with references in there....

    We announced they would be removed a few weeks ahead of when we did it.

    The forum is in shambles .... what a lousy transition .. this happened a few years ago to ...

    There's issues yes, but they are being resolved. Before you can make something better it has to work, and we always release early and often. It happened a few years ago to because moving from forum software to forum software is really tricky, we went WebWiz -> PHPBB -> Custom. There are no premade import/export tools for any of those transitions.

    Perhaps hire a professional web developer? Ashley

    That would be me, and we've also just hired Phill a new web developer. So you'll see lots of changes throughout the year.

    What else about the forum is in "shambles" apart from formatting and search not yet available? Seems like hyperbole to me, it's working, it's far more reliable and faster than previously. There are issues, but they'll be ironed out over time.

  • You can do [img=https://www.construct.net/out?u=https%3a%2f%2fi.imgur.com%2fYOghrnM.png]

  • That URL starts /es/en, remove on of them or both of them.

    Is there a link causing that every time for you?

  • Pushing update now for old URL's 404ing (ETA 10 min). If you still get 404's, clear your caches.

  • You do not have permission to view this post

  • Yes this is fixed, is a recurring issue which should now be resolved.

  • People who want to do something more serious than single-day games, look at the engine's capabilities and the policies of its authors, shake their heads

    What policies specifically?

    The authoritarian approach has its positive sides

    Don't mistake directness for authoritarianism. I really don't see how anyone can say any one on the team is authoritarian.

  • Actually i purchased C3 prior to the discount message and sent in an email to ask if i could get a refund on my purchase, never got a response, probably "lost in the email" world

    We strive to answer every email promptly, yours should of been replied to. Do email us again or me directly on tommkj@scirra.com and I'll look into it for you.

  • Old forums are not coming back, but let me see if I can fix those 404's.

  • Ads no longer show for logged in users.

    Also, all post formatting should now be fixed as much as possible. There will be an issue with VERY OLD post links.

  • All pricing can be found here:

    construct.net/make-games/buy-construct-3

    If you have a C2 hash, enter it here:

    construct.net/profile/my-discounts

    You may be entitled to a discount on C3 if you purchased C2 previously.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Is there no way to extend that deal to everyone who bought construct 2 but that didn't get the message?

    It's still active for everyone who's eligible. If you have a Construct 2 hash, enter it here:

    construct.net/profile/my-discounts

    Also I don't want to skip over this, What's the deal with Construct 2? Will you keep supporting it like you said you would or is it just Construct 3 now?

    As we've said on multiple occasions we're continuing to fix bugs in the engine and push out releases. However, all new feature development will be going into Construct 3.

    Construct 3 has been out for about 1 year now. Since we've released it, we've pushed out 17 new Construct 2 builds:

  • When are the ads gonna be removed? I still see them.

    Next update later today most likely, but possibly Monday.

    • Post link icon

    The arcade is, and always has been provided as a free "As-Is" service with no promises of up-time or availability. It is on my list of things to look at fixing when I am able.

    There are other places you can host your game in the meantime (eg Newgrounds).

  • The tab group feature is borken when you put lists inside

    • Borken

      • Each

    Dunno if we are supposed to report forum bugs here though.

    Thanks, fixed for next upload.
