New forum section

To give the growing number of very nice applications, libs and stuff, coded in PureBasic, a better showroom, we opened a new forum section.
This way, the announcements forum will stay cleaner, as it was changed to a bug report section for user projects.

The individual sections - currently JaPBe, pureForms and Tailbite - are only for top applications, with big enough userbase, and active support from the autors. Creating such application is no guarantee for a new section, as this is decided per case.

Have fun here :)

Good,
but in the Anouncement section there is still written:
Developed or developing a new product in PureBasic? Tell the world about it.
No words about bugs or so...

You can still announce your project in announcements section, but if it starts to roll, bug reports and other discussions should go in here.
Announcements sections should be used for the "New Killer App" posts and "Whow COOL 8) " response :)

Like this thread http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... highlight=
Typical announcement, no bug reports yet.....

I made an awsome program wich opened a window and displayed some text. The name was "helloworld.pb" but why it isn't listed here?

PS: I think this can really turn out worse in some cases since you (indirectly) do some sort of ranking applications. One maybe pissed that his stuff ain't listed here.

I don't move it here, you can post it here.
So there is no ranking involved.

Announcements is for "Announcements"
Feedback and Discussion is for "Feedback and Discussion" (everything except an announcement goes in here...)

Well, I mean JaPBe, pureForms, Tailbite, etc. When an application is "top" or has "big userbase"? Who defines this?

As we don't want the forum base to grow to big, this is decided by the PureBasic team per case.

Only thing left to do now is move the threads that fit here from announcements.
which one?
