I never download anything unless
it has a screenshot. Even if it´s
a game with fair reviews.
Every now and then I see previews
of games saying:

It has 10 diffrent weapons
HUGH bosses!
yada yada and so on.

Then why not add a screen shot i ask.
Why not wait to post a preview untill
you´r like 90% done and feel that you
will finish this game and have something
to actualy show us? Even the most crappy
game almost finished impresses me more
than:
It has 10 diffrent weapons
HUGH bosses...

I´m quite confused, is it just me?

It's because some people have no idea of what a preview is really for. We're not going to remember what your game is a year later!

I had a restriction on previews before that meant they had to have screenshots but everyone complained so I took it off.

Who would complain about that? Except for the newbies who post crappy previews in the first place. Hey, maybe that could be an idea for a new poll: Who thinks screenshots in previews should be mandatory?

I think screenshots should not be manditory, since I can't upload anything to this site!(Points to no avatar, no games uploaded, and no previews)

I can't upload to my ISP either, or the other computer connected to my router. Actually, the only upload program that works is EasyUpload at geocities. Heck, even windows FTP doesn't work...and I could list loads of other FTP programs that don't work. I live with it though, since the problem has always been there.

Blah, edit bug. Anyway, maybe someone can help me with this actually...

I've noticed that FTP programs, telnet, etc. don't work. Why? Because the password box never works! In telnet, windows FTP, etc. it asks for a password, and I can't type anything. Then, after a timer expires it moves on to an error message. The same thing happens in every other FTP program I've tried. Any ideas?

If you have XP, just use the built-in FTP client (Start -> My Network Places -> Add a Network Place). If you dont have XP try using the Command Prompt client (Start -> Run -> Command) then type "ftp" then on the next line "open" then follow the prompts. You can type "?" to see a list of commands.

Same problem, it locks me out when it asks for the password...I think my comp must be missing a piece of hardware, since I've reinstalled windows 98 about 8 times over a few years...the problem is/was always there.

Yea, cuz otherwise those games won't be finished. If the person has a few screen shots, then it'll have a good chance of being finished. The rule of thumb is- don't bother adding a preview or a downlaod unles you can get some screen shots up. You could always ask someone anyways!
