Me and Kbambz were able to sit down today and plow through the new site layout. Hopefully this will make a more pleasant user experience for everyone!
Obviously you can probably see the changes yourself but some noteworthy additions/changes are:
- The whole site has been stream lined to take up less monitor space while having access to the whole site.
- The links on the left are your user control panel and you can post/upload/edit profile there.
- The site links are now above!
- On the right side of the link bar is a new button called HELP. Check it out, it has some cool FAQ's for features of the site, not to mention a list of all available achievements!
- You will notice some things are still under construction. We wanted to implement the new layout as soon as we could while we had the time, it makes it easier to implement the new features later and more streamlined.
- A bunch of small bug fixes and behind the scenes work to make the site load faster and run on more browsers.
- Added small tool-tips here and there to explain items on the site, example: "The more comments on someones snapshot images, the higher their rank." This is in the side bar on each person's individual snapshot page above their rank. :)
KNOWN ISSUES: (Google Chrome is a bitch.)
- In Google Chrome you have to refresh the page sometimes if you see errors, it is chromes way of loading pages... refresh first if still broken please tell us.
- When posting in Google Chrome, hitting enter or inserting an image it resets the carat (the place where what you type shows up) to the top of the input area.
- In Google Chrome the password box is filled in yellow. This is on Chrome's end, and as of now, there is no way to change it.
- Internet Explorer will not load this website properly. (Sorry guys, we will clean it up soon; the majority of our users use Firefox or Chrome, and Katie doesn't have access to her PC at the moment.)
ON THE HORIZON:
- The Blurbs page. More will be announced about this as we get closer to launch.
- An indicator for the right hand side of the page for how many missions are currently active in the war section.
- The ability to edit your email address.
- FAQ/Support page, this will have a current list of known issues bugs, as well as some quick site breakdowns to show you all the different functions of the site you may have missed. As well what we are working on, what may be coming soon, etc.!
We hope you will enjoy it. And we are continuing to listen to feedback and improve the site as we can. We also have some interesting ideas in the air on how to give the war a better feeling of accomplishment during battle!
