Hi...
First of all, let me say that this is my first day using SkaLinks, but I am really impressed so far. Thank you for making such a great program for us.
There are some things I would like to see in SkaLinks, and for all I know they may be there, already. If so, point me to them. If not, consider this a request. ;)
Logo
I would like to replace the Site's long name and only use it as the alt text for a logo image.
Banners
I have the Google adsense ads working just fine, but can SkaLinks be easily incorporated with any existing banner managers? Also, can I use relative linking from the directory base dir to banner images, or should I use absolute linking (which is an eensy-teensy bit slower)?
Could I allow users to upload a GIF or JPEG or possibly even Flash banner to be displayed above their text listing?
Templates
I am having a little trouble sorting out all of the Smarty Templates documentation. I would genuinely like to see some documentation as to how I could quickly change the template designs so that I can personalize my SkaLinks directory.
However, that said, I would like to give the author a hearty pat-on-the-back for releasing such a nice looking directory. I am using paid (registered) scripts for some other directories, but they don't come out half as nice looking from the start after installing. Actually, they look like crap until you spend a month or so working on them. ;)
I would actually like to design another basic template design choice or two for SkaLinks, if you would like some alternative layouts that you could include with the next distributions. :D
email
I noticed my email link listed on the site, however this may just be because I was logged in as an admin? I just want to make sure that it isn't ever displayed to the public, as on another directory I run I had over 33,000 emails (before I blocked him) from a spammer in India asking for a reciprocal link exchange and that directory doesn't even support remote adding. He was just emailing an address he found on site (and it was even encrypted). Most likely, he just didn't know any better, but does anyone expect a webmaster to answer over 33,000 emails with a reciprocal link that has been setup for him? ARGH. Oh well, that was yesterday. I'll get over it, yet.
Lets see, I think that covers it. ;) I wanted to start writing this before I took my son to Karate, so it's been an hour and a half. ;)
Great web app! Thank You. Keep up the great work, by the way!
Thanks! -Doug
P.S.:
Add your web host and webmastering links to: http://dir.w3host.info
-No reciprocal links are required! Just don't spam it.
