    Yeah, I've got two tracks in the process, one just needs touching up and the other is near complete, but I have no intention of releasing them until it is fixed.
    Thats good because we have all this time to make and impotantly polish the track,a polished track in all aspects of editing is a very good track and is rid of most of the minor problems so im going to polish it alot especially i lighting as ive got lots of lights.

    Certainly seems that way. I've been turning trials off tbh as there is no way of finding a decent track to play and I'm bored of sp at the moment. Once I finished off my latest track, I realised there wasnt anything fresh to play and just turned it off. I suspect a lot of other people are doing the same thing.

    Wait a minute...Maybe this is all a genius plan from Redlynx! Think about it. Most good track creators are on these forums, and since they know the issue, they won't be posting their tracks. So the only tracks on TC will be garbage. And the people who created those tracks will see their tracks rated one star, and either stop building or improve.

    On top of that, when the issue is fixed, we'll have a huge backlog of good tracks people were holding off on releasing. So we get a few days of amazing trials tracks, and less crap in the long run.

    I'm calling it now, Redlynx are geniuses!

    Its definatly genius, but i dought it is intended and yes i could work but im sure some will carry on as beginners have no idea whats happening and will think they are brilliant for getting into 48 hour feeds therefor they may continue being degenerate track makers lol im so harsh.

    I think it is more likely the second case: Terrible builders will see an opportunity to get into the 48 hour feed and actually make MORE trash as a result. No matter what actually happens this needs to be fixed by yesterday...

    Didn't mean anything by it. I'd love to think your case wins out, but I just tried to put myself in the mind of a terrible track maker and I don't think they will care enough to actually improve their tracks. They think their tracks ARE great. "If other people don't like it they must be stupid. My track is fun so who cares about decoration." etc...

    If they were going to put in the time to do it right, they would be doing it already. I can't see a broken TC fixing that. It won't show them HOW their track is terrible. Anyway, just my opinion, so don't take it personally.

    haha, I guess not. I don't know you well enough to recognize it. No bones broken though, so no big deal.

    I could've sworn we were in the 21st century with all of this amazing technology, yet having tracks update their user ratings and downloads in this video game is apparently the most difficult technical challenge ever faced by mankind.
