Where are the release notes?

Why do you have to ask for every single little thing. The information is all here and I explained EXACTLY what the stage was of the program and what would work and what wouldnt

I know noone probably reads this section, but I really need some guidance with this - so I will post it again.

-----

Basically there are two ways we can go about this project, and the way we "log in". Each has their own advantages and disadvantages.

1. The Messenger program could log in with any name the user supplies, and isn't linked with a password related to neowin.net or any password at all. The advantage is that anyone could log in even if they are not a member - as you are probably thinking now this is also a major disadvantage. For instance one day I could log in as "StaticFish"and the next as "Blaise" or even "Neobond!" as nothing will be linked. Obviously this will probably be a bad idea but we will see

2. I am much more keen on the second way we could do it, but it will be a lot trickier and will involve more people, to work together. If we could somehow bind the program in with the main database, so that your personal neowin.net username and password works with Neowin Messenger. This opens up features that have been discussed early such as PM integration. There are of course limitations with the Invision Power Board, but the connections is the main point.

This is now almost a fully functional login box. To make it 100% working, the above stuff needs to be worked out

I would perfer this option, but I know that it requires a lot more work and it's an security issue. If you could just get the messenger to work (option 1 or option 2) that itself would be a great step forward. Keep up the good work!! :)

I agree.I like the2nd option better but any option is fine. I just ant it to work. The 2nd option would be better cause then Guests won't be able to log on.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
