Sorry, poor choice of phrasing; I've found the site a little intimidating, personally. Anyway I don't ask developers of free software to be magic webmasters too.<br>
The existence of several other sites with pd in the name, that are all
obviously devoted to Pure Data, has thrown me
in the past, especially when I had no idea where to go beyond Miller's site. If
<a href="http://puredata.info">puredata.info</a> is agreed to be the place, it's fine with me, if anyone can agree.<br>
At any rate I'm against coming up with new Pd community sites every 6 months.<br>

I'm not sure if this is the bug you mean, but when I right-click my
link it wants to save as file.htm, and if I instead follow that link
and click the next one, it wants to save the actual file, but as
'file.zip'. And, with a slow connection, I'm thinking of just
right-clicking directly from the individual's page to download the
file, instead of loading another html page. I'll try /myfile/download
on my page, if this is what it does.<br>

<br><br>excuse me, but <a href="http://puredata.info">puredata.info</a> is only restricted to registered userse<br>(and everybody can register), because this site has seriously been spammed.</blockquote><div><br>
Understood. I didn't mean that <a href="http://puredata.info">puredata.info</a> was neglected, it seems
pretty well maintained. Then again I guess it's up to individuals to
maintain their own files.<br>
I recall having some trouble finding documentation for some externals, but looking now I can find it without much trouble.<br>It's still not possible to locate "toxy", "cyclone", or "mixed" from the search function. I suppose their author never put a link to them on
<a href="http://puredata.info">puredata.info</a>, but they are in Pd-extended, no? Yet nothing about Pd-extended comes up in a search for them. If the author never linked or uploaded them, is it okay for someone like me to put a link to his website from my
<a href="http://puredata.info">puredata.info</a> page?<br>And has anyone heard anything of or from him?<br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
this might happen as well to a wiki-site. the usual way to deal with<br>this is either by captchas or by restricting the site to registered<br>users (with an open registration).<br>hey, the latter reminds me of <a href="http://puredata.info">
puredata.info</a></blockquote><div><br>Good point. I just might go update my page.<br><br>-Chuckk <br></div></div><br>
