ghastley mods, hosting my own. Options

[ghastley]

Since I've pulled all my mods off the Nexus, as I don't agree with their new TOS, I'm hosting them on my own site, just like I've always done for beta tests. This thread is for discussion of the site, which I won't post a link to here, but will provide one via PM. That will hopefully stop it being made public via google before I'm ready. It's under "Other" as there are mods for everything in the Elder Scrolls series but Arena.

I could keep all the discussion in PM's, but then you won't see each others' comments, and I'll have to act as mailman all the time.

Once it's all there, then the URL will be made public and this thread can keep running.

It turns out that the change to split "Other Stuff" also resolves a layout issue with Safari on the iPad. So that's made, now.

Next up is finding a suitable gallery layout for the mod screenshots. There won't be a lot, because: no user-contributed images; and most images are already in the Wiki. I can do a simple table of thumbnails, which open a new tab/window for the full-sized image, or try to make a filmstrip/projector style using the same CSS radio button technique that does the tabs. Since images are on a tab, there may be nesting issues with the latter method.

Somewhere on there I want to explain why my mods are on their own obscure site, and not the Nexus (or similar). That may have to wait until I decide where the discussion forum/fora are, as it will provoke discussion itself.
