We will be breaking them down into less pages, and making the tutorial presentation a little cleaner - I'd have to agree with this one, sometimes they are broken up too much.. but sometimes the reader is lazyIf i had complete ruling over the Twodded section of Pixel2Life, i would make each tutorial cover 1 page only. Nothing pisses me off more than a tutorial on 8 pages
either way, we'll work on it
keep em coming guys we are making great progress here

Sorry but I can't agree with this quote fully..If i had complete ruling over the Twodded section of Pixel2Life, i would make each tutorial cover 1 page only. Nothing pisses me off more than a tutorial on 8 pages.
A tutorial should be like a book.. you learn how you do it, why you do it, and you get an explanation, this can't fit into just 1 page.. (well it can but then you will scroll to death.)
If you are in search for "copy & paste" then I think you are in the wrong place.

Also, the user submitted tutorials. I think the main thing to keep in mind is that some writers have no where to host their tutorials. Unless you want a 5000kb image on deviant art, you have to write it in HTML. But there aren't many ways to host your pages other than getting hired. As I know text doesnot take too much space, perhaps twodded could store the better one submitted. (yes, images will be a problem, any ideas?)
If you want, you could set a cookie for preferences on how many steps displayed perpage you want in a twodded tutorial. I do see many page of a tutorial with only 20 lines or so, and clicking the next button wastes a valuable 5 to 15 seconds ( ) Nevertheless it is stilla delay, so if you store the tutorials as steps, you could just make the query display X amount of steps per page Too muxh work? I agree!
yeah...

and we are working on the paging thing.. but display x amount of steps (a la zymic) in my opinion isn't really a great idea, un-neccesary waste of processor/memory to be honest
