RE: the homepages... slight return
update: most of the complicated & donkey-work coding is now done making it super streamlined
also now we have made it so you can easily (and super-fast) try different homepage directory addresses before you commit to setting your address (and it is super fast with no page reloading)
so the messy work is done, all we have to do now is create the 'creation' page to set the template choice, then the 'create' page to set the colour scheme - thats easy work and just a few hours to do and test.
after that we can open it up as stage-1 (all done but without a new homepage colour-editor admin) - Then we can create the new colour -edit admin, and then sit back and add many new templates with ease as we go.
so, meantime the old homepages ARE available my modifying your old address
this is an example:
http://www.7161.com/users/3rd_Rock_Revolution/
that homepage example used to be at this address:
http://www.7161.com/~3rd_Rock_Revolution/
so just replace the tilde with /users/
you can edit homepages yet tho.
Btw once the new system is open, all users will need to reset their template (this will be forced in admin). This is to force the user to write the new faster code & easy template-change options to their homepage - we'll add in a few extra options at that point too
the idea is to make these user homepages even more like proper websites & offer much more variety of templates.
so after that is reopened 7161 will also kinda be a 'free-website' site as well as a music hosting site
cheers
