No problem at all, thanks for the report :)

How did you finally receive a confirmation email? What email provider do you use?

I hadn't updated the site today, it may simply be your computer keeping a local cache of the css files - a problem I have fixed in the next update of the side. SO basically I think that your cache updated itself, meaning you received the fix?
Either way, it's a good thing it's all sorted now! :)

Unfortunately this kind of programming isn't possible - the advantages of things like Ruby/LUA etc. are that they are scripting languages - they can run live.
The problem with C# in this case is that it is a compiled language - hence code cannot easily be deployed at runtime. This may seem a disadvantage but when you consider things like the strong typed integrity the model gives you it makes a lot of sense. This is why most "script" interfaces are LUA based.

C# is the only option for EGM because of the Xbox support.

One alternative is to code in the engine directly using extension classes for instance, and using the comment system as an indicator for running code. This of course means some kind of string parsing etc, but it means for easily compilable code that is extendable too - so in general anyway this method should be preferred.

We will discuss the possibility of using some new C# features i.e. Method bags to make extending the engine much more component based? What would you think about that approach?

It may not fit your needs but it may be possible to invoke methods that have been pre-coded from events, again sticking to the rules of pre-compilation, but this is simply a GUI for the former method that may even be more restricted.

Sorry if this is all too programmer oriented, but I assume if you want to code in the first place you'll know how to do all of the above.

I updated the site. Does this fix sort it for 100% magnification?
Thanks

I'll have a look into the problem ASAP, thanks for the report.

As for requirements, they should all be automatically detected and installed by the installer, i.e. XNA, C# 2008, all necessary frameworks etc.
Plugins are not yet a feature we have implemented, but you can make games without the need for them :)

Tutorials can be found at http://www.youtube.com/user/ExpressGameMaker, as these are the easiest to look at and follow for now.

Good luck with EGM!

EDIT:
I just managed to sign up with both a yahoo and hotmail account without receiving errors, are you certain you typed the email correctly?

Could you try to register again? (Use the name "TestEmailReg" so I know which one to delete later.)
This time use a hotmail or yahoo email address (or any other that didnt work before) - and print screen the error occurring to post here?

Some tips - did you try moving to the next box after the error message came up? This validates the text box. Also, if it continues to fail, can you try filling everything in with useless information and pressing register anyway? Again, i'd like to know what happens.

Thanks!
