I noticed a lot of people were having trouble with simple stuff like positioning text and images.
So I thought I'd add some building blocks that you can use to align things the way you want it.
Most web-pages are built by putting blocks either next to or below the previous block, that is how these blocks work too.
Overview
There are 3 blocks and 1 helper block
Inside the block you can use any other codes including these blocks but I wouldn't advise it as you can usually do fine without nesting them.
'Left'
The main idea of the 'left' block is to put elements next to each other that normally don't like being next to each other, like text and images.
By putting the images and text into a 'left' block you see that they are now next to each other.

[.left=130] Some text that will show what the left tag will do [/left]
[.left=130] [.img]http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/7246/animageoh5.jpg[/img] [/left]
'Clear'
But what if you want the last image on the next line? You will need to use the helper block 'clear'.
Clear is just a helper block, it does not need a width nor can it have content.

[.clear]
[.left=130][.img]http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/7246/animageoh5.jpg[/img][/left]
As you can see the second image is now put on a new line below the other image. 'right' will do the same as 'left' except the blocks will begin on the right side of the page instead of the left.
If the last element on your page is a 'left' block or a 'right' block add one final 'clear' at the bottom to make sure the height calculation for the description window works correctly.
'Center'

Overview
There are 3 blocks and 1 helper block
- [.left=200][/left]
- [.right=300][/right]
- [.center=500][/center]

'Center'
The 'center' block simply center's the contents. 'center' does not need to be 'clear'ed. You can mix 'center' and 'left' and 'right'.

Alright seems we got everything back up and running. Database was rolled back a few hours~ We apologize for the inconvenience but this was out of our hands. Thank dubkatz and Force for bringing the site back up! We do try our best :[

We're aware of the problem with logging in.
You'll know you are experiencing this problem if you're unable to log in. It has NOTHING to do with the previous announcement regarding banned e-mail addresses.
The best thing to do is to go onto IRC #boxtorrents and chat with other people about anime while you wait.
Please do NOT create new accounts as these will be deleted along with any ratio they collect. Waiting it out is the best thing to do at the moment.
This problem will be dealt with as soon as we can. Thank you for your patience.

The list of banned domains has been extended with the 'mailinator' aliases.
If you were using any of those and you find your account disabled come to the IRC channel.

So I finally got around to doing this. I've been planning to do it for a long time actually.
You can now easily add screenshots to your description.
The code is as follows: (without the underscore ofcourse)
[_screenshot]
[_img]http://www.mysite.com/myimage.jpg[_/img]
[_url=http://www.mysite.com/snapshot007.jpg][_img]http://www.mysite.com/thumbnail007.jpg[_/img][_/url]
[_/screenshot]
This example will add two screenshots: myimage.jpg and snapshot007.jpg.
You can add as many images to the screenshot block as you want. You can add as many screenshot blocks as you want.
As you can see there are two ways to add screenshots. If you add a link around the image it will try to make a proper thumbnail (instead of shrinking the image), the method with the link is ofcourse recommended.
You can optinoally set the width of the thumbnails, the default value is 150.
[_screenshot=200][_/screenshot] will make the thumbnails 200px wide (and adjust the height accordingly).
The maximum width is 300.

New icons / New profile settings / Overlay icons

I uploaded a new (extended) icon set. If you're seeing strange images press ctrl+F5 to force your browser to fetch the new icon set from the server.
Also, I've made some changes to the Profile page:
Update: Overlay icons
We now (finally) have overlay icons for torrents
The overlay icons will always be YOUR icons, even when you visit someone else's userpage. The overlay icons match the arrangement on your userpage. As it is now it will only show one icon, I might change that ('collision' can occur if you're, for instance, seeding a torrent on your wishlist).

Also, I've made some changes to the Profile page:
- First off all I've added tabs to make navigation easier, I will do this in more pages later.
- Secondly I've added two options:
- I've added an opt-out option to keep statistics, or not. If you don't want the tracker to keep your statistics be sure to select 'no', keep in mind that you will also not receive update messages when a torrent is swapped or deleted when you have selected 'no'.
- I've added an option that allows you to customize your 'paranoia' level. Default setting is level 2. Level 0 shows no statistics, level 3 show everything. Level 1 or higher is recommended for uploaders (but is not enforced).

Anime Revolution, the site geoffreak has been working on for the past few months, is now open for public testing.
From what I've understood Anime Revolution is going to be an anime Encyclopaedia, combining features from AniDB, Anime News Network and Anime-Planet.
So if you can spare a few minutes go over there, sign up, check it out and leave some feedback
--Jarudin--
Edit (MarchHare): It's worth noting that ARev is still in its late Alpha stage, so not all features are functional at this time. This does mean, however, that new features are constantly being added. So now would be a good time to request new features.
