Hey everyone, just wanted to provide you with a quick update...
Since we switched the forum software over to a new brand and updated the look and feel there have been some things that we the developers of the software have been looking at to bring you a more integrated and enhanced feel for the site.
Finger crossed but mid July there will be some more changes happening and I wanted to let you know first up what's going on....
Firstly, we are not changing the look / feel and we a re not changing the software just making things better by introducing new features.
Some of these features are as follows -
1) Responsive look and feel for Ipads, Tablets and Phones. Basically what this is that when you visit our site on a device that has a small screen size rather than try to display the whole website to you we will automatically scale the site down to your resolution. This will mean you get an easier to navigate version of the site when using mobile devices and essentially is a mobile orientated theme of the site. You won't need to do anything the site will detect your device and scale accordingly. This will allow a much more improved look and feel of the site when accessing it from mobile and tablet devices and is a huge step forward in mobile device access.
2) A new editor, this is basically the buttons and the area where you type text. Up till now its been a little buggy on ipad's and android devices but the good news is its getting wiped and replaced completely by something new. The good part of this is the file size of the editor is reduced which means less downloading when on a mobile device. There is a raft of new features with the editor and more will come on that front but it is a much more modern look and feel and much easier to use.
3) Forum subscription, people have asked for this before and I am glad its on its on its way back. Basically this lets you "subscribe" to a forum and get alerts to new posts in a forum there will also be a page where you can manage these subscriptions.
4) Notable members, this will essentially replace the long list of members and give you a bit clearer picture of the people that are currently "notable" members. These will highlight members with the most messages, most likes received, most trophy points etc etc.... This will be great for all members as you can see who is ahead of you and put yourself in the spotlight by participation.
There is plenty more coming but just wanted to let you know these things are actively being looked at to bring you a much better experience.
Any questions let me know and as always with things in development some of this may or may not change closer to the final delivery time.
Will keep you posted as we travel along....
Cheers!
