I'll bite, this is actually a nicely laid out site

one suggestion: let us add more than one computer to the hardware info I have two laptops that I game with, a dell xps m1730 as well as an apple macbook pro 17" but I'm only able to add hardware details for one or the other.

http://www.gamecreds.com/user/member/xanix :D


Aaaaaaaaaaaah!

We'll try to find room for these in the description area! ^^

No worries: the passwords are encrypted. We have absolutely no way of knowing it. if you lose your password, the only way you'll be able to access your account will be that we send you a new randomly generated one (pretty much the same way TL does, btw) - this "forgot my pass" feature is coming soon, we kinda forgot to implement it at start :D

That doesn't matter. Some quite simple attacks could get a dump of the entire users table, and then it's pretty trivial to identify the encryption, and then usually it's not that hard to break the encryption. Or a rogue employee could just decide to take it all, and since they probably have access to the source, it'd be trivial to locate the decryption/encryption and have complete access to all accounts.

I do not like my passwords stored plaintext. Ever.


I think I wasn't clear: the passwords are not stored in plain text in the database :-)
That's why we can't get it back if you forget it. And we have to generate a new one. If by any chance someone gets a dump out of the DB (and since we're using a specific version of mySQL cluster DB, it's not that easy to perform!). Well, he'll get quite a score of random numbers.

Your passwords really are as secured as can be :o

EDIT: I'll get the specifics from our CTO if you want! I'm not that much of a tech guy myself ^^

Encryption is reversible. Passwords should only ever be stored as a hash.

Ok - well, that's probably what's being done. As said, I'm not that much of a tech guy, so I'm probably not using the right words :s

Seriously great looking site, dont think i've ever been this impressed with a website. I hate social networking but maybe this'll change my mind lol

Sorry if this has already been mentioned

I just registered at your site with the user name Jokah. Now I'm sure when i entered my username I used a capital J but it has appeared as a lower case j

Not a big deal but worth a mention

Great site by the way
I've been quoted as saying "I don't like quotes".

I would like to register but it tells me to check my email and there is a red cross.
However the email i entered is valid.

After lurking around on the site for a while now, I have to say it's really slick and looks really promising. I'm not really found of the term "guild" when talking about StarCraft2 though, but maybe that's just me. I would rather prefer Team or maybe Clan.

I also have a question regarding the avatar restrictions. I couldn't find any guidelines regarding the avatar sizes and such. The image compression used on the site seems to screw up the quality quite a bit, hence I was looking for an optimal imagesize so that the site won't compress/auto-resize it. I also noticed that when uploading a very small image (say, 70x70 px), the image gets resized even further (smaller) and receives huge white borders around it.

I don't know if any of the things I just mentioned made any sense whatsoever. I guess I could provide screenshots if further explanation is needed.

Besides that, I've not yet encountered anything spooky. Everything seems to look super-clean.

Yeah we're aware of the issue - not quite sure if why it was done this way in a first place, but users will be able ot change that in a near future

I'd much rather Clan/Team as well - it's just part of a *very* long list of small issues we'll need to fix. But because we always have bigger issues to solve, it keeps on being delayed... (well, and we're a rather small team too). But it'll be fixed in time :D

Our resizing script seems to behave a little strangely - we're aware of it (indeed, already small pics are being made "ultra small" - dunno why) ; that's part of the list of things to fix

True we should at least state the optimal avatar dimensions - we'll look into this

mmm can you make sure it's all lowercase?
For some reason the input field doesn't like caps letters (will be fixed in the next patch - hopefully tomorrow! )...

Very quick update: seems we *might* be able to release our replay uploader tomorrow :D
Pretty excited about that!

(if that is so, I'll update this post with a brief img tutorial!)

Hash is kinda one-way encryption. Since he saw his password in the activation email, he believes it cannot be stored as hash as somewhere along the path, his email was decrypted and given back to him. This concerns him as, if your website is able to decrypt his password, something else can.

Yup, I understand it. I was told by the tech guys we indeed hash the passwords.
Couldn't go much more into detail though ^^

I guess it's the same way TL or Facebook or any other serious website works - cuz when I used TL's "forgot my pass" function, I had it sent in an email too :o
Doesn't seem to me that vulnerable.

Okay, I just got confirmation we're hasing passwords:

passwords are not stored in plaintext and there is no way for us or someone else to retrieve the password of one our users even if he had full access to our database (unless this person is able to crack SHA algorithms, but in that case, pretty much everybody is in trouble, not just us). The password is sent in the registration confirmation email just before it is stored with a SHA hashing function in our database

ALL YOUR PASSWORDS IS (NOT) BELONG TO US! :-)

Hi guys,

A quick update: our new REPLAY UPLOADER section (with an automated parser) is now up and running! I'm currently feeding it with whatever cool replays I can find.

[image loading]


It's not 100% finished, but it's still running pretty smoothly, and we'll tune it up in the coming days. As usual, your feedback is most welcome :-)


Here's how it works.


1- Seek and download replays

This you can do from the SC2 Home Page on GameCreds - we added a new "Replays" tab, next to the the "forum" one.

See a live Replay Page here.
How-to and screenshots below (hit the *spoiler* button).

+ Show Spoiler +


The Replay tab

[image loading]


Basically, it's a list of all latest uploaded replays, with a bunch of search criteria:
- maps (not working yet - still tweaking it)
- brackets
- leagues
- setups
- etc.

We're adding new search filters, like the possibility to seek a replay by player name (example: "I want all the 2v2 replays featuring Dimaga" ).

The Replay page

Each replay has its own page, with detailed players info (race/colour/league) and can be rated, commented, downloaded and liked & shared on Facebook (it helps spread the word ^^).

[image loading]




The cool thing?

If a player featured in a replay is registered on GameCreds, we tag him in the replay:
- the player name is converted in an active link to his GC profile
- the replay shows up in his "uploaded replays" tab, on his profile

+ Show Spoiler +


[image loading]

AND it also means that we can automatically estimate the "skill level" of the replay, based on the leagues the players are in.

Example :

Players Calgar and Sodesk are on GameCreds, and they both play in Solo Diamond leagues - so it shows up before their name, on the replay page/summary.

[image loading]

But players ClouD and XlorD have not (yet) registered their profiles, so their league indicator is empty for now.

[image loading]



Downloading replays of course doesn't require one to be logged in.


2- upload replays

Still accessible from the main Replay Tab, in the SC2 home page. You don't need to be logged in to upload a replay (but if you are, there also is a "upload replay" button on your SC2 Profile page).

How-to and screenshots below (hit the *spoiler* button).

+ Show Spoiler +


Simply hit the giant green "upload Replay" button.

[image loading]


A quick popup will show up and ask for:
- your replay file (mandatory)
- a title (mandatory)
- a short description (facultative)

[image loading]

...and you're done! Your replay will be uploaded and parsed within seconds, for all to download :-)

We'll also look into direct "history match" replays upload pretty soon
(basically, tying/uploading specific replays to your match history)

Nice! I had the same Idea for a team/player management solution (which I may still implement) however I had/have no resources to do it just yet. Good luck!

Thanks :-)
We're really working hard to improve it every day, but so far, so good!

Next on the dev list :
- global rankings
- clanwar/tournament wizard!

Hi everyone! I'm very excited to tell you about our latest additions to GameCreds :-)

In short:

1- Added a SC2 Recruitment section

--> Accessible here

Very simple to use! Whenever someone creates an "opportunity" (practice partner, 2v2, 3v3 or 4v4), it gets listed here. All you need to do is sort out the list to find player you'd like to play with :-)

Here's how the filters look like :

[image loading]

... and here's a snapshot of the list of opportunities!

[image loading]


2- Added Editorial capabilities (Blogs)

For any member: individuals, SC2 Clans, WoW guilds, Video groups...
A full-fledged blogging platform, for articles, guides, and so on...

Easily accessible from numerous pages ; in a dedicated tab!

[image loading]


As usual, your feedback is much appreciated :-)
Thanks!
