Well I have posted up guidelines and a post for reel adventures to show the kind of thing we are looking for on the playtesting site. If you fine folks could have a look, maybe try registering just so I know everything is working ok that would be great.
Edited to add URL, doh!
Cheers

Are we able to post anything

Are we able to post anything to the site yet? Because, I'm having difficulty seeing how you do this. Other Vanilla forums have something saying 'start new discussion' or similar. Or have you just not enabled this yet? or am I being dull?

I also cannot start a discussion.

There are other issues too:
Most of the categories are fine, but there are typos in the descriptions of them.
There is a category called General. That's a bit too vague. You need Games needing testing (Check!), Groups/Players looking for games (Check!), Post playtest feedback (Sort of check), Advice on playtesting methods (not pre-se, but could go in General), Site Admin discussions and announcements (Check, but description makes this look like a one-way channel). Unless I've missed something, there's nothing else people should be discussing on this site, right? So beware of General categories, in my experience they tend to encourage a less focussed type of discussion.
Nerdy comment

Maybe because I've got debugging enabled due to the job, but there appears to be a runtime error (Line 97 : Object Required) when I click a topic. Doesn't prevent navigation, but its there.
Most people probably won't see this though...

Malcolm: I can see a start
Submitted by Iain McAllister on Fri, 14/12/2007 - 18:27.
Malcolm: I can see a start discussion thing in the top left hand corner. I may have it that you cannot start a new discussion as a guest.
Gaz: way too nerdy man. I don't think that is a problem but maybe the tech guys on the site can correct me.
Rich: Good points. Will get right on that and post here once I am done.

Categories sorted

Right that is the categories sorted and edited. Take a look please and feedback to me with anything missing. Once this is all correct I will post about the place with the site details.
Starting a discussion: You can't unless you are registered which is the way I want it. I think we are all so used to being signed in on sites like story games we forget that is the case.

I know what I have done. I had new member applicants as guest not member. I think it was something I was fiddling round with when I was trying to sort out other issues.
I will now figure out how to change you all to members.

Right everyone who has registered so far is now a member not a guest. You should now be able to post.
Sorry about that and thanks for the catch.
