Brand New Community Site is Live!

Nov 09 2011 05:34 AM | AndY in Community


Hello everyone!

After tons of work and sleepless nights, the new site is finally here!

It's not quite perfect just yet, but we're getting there. If you encounter any bugs/issues, please report them in this topic. If you have any other kind of feedback (both positive and negative), feel free to post them in here.


We hope you enjoy our brand new home, and expect plenty more surprises coming soon!

Stuff You Should Know About:
  • What I already mentioned at the bottom of this topic
  • Notification settings seem to have all been reset by the upgrade. Be sure to navigate to your UserCP and set your preferences (click)
  • The textbox to update your status is now in the user dropdown (click your name at the top-right)

Hey Gabe,

Is there some part that's confusing or not very visible?

How can I write in the "recent status updates" section?
Where can I find the Community Webchatter?
Only these two things...

To reply to someone, click on Add comment or Add / Show comments right below their update. To post a new status update:

You'll see a textbox that says "What's on your mind".

The site is new and as such sexy, as the Joker says. Still, I want the 'What's on your mind' more easily available, as I already see the n00bs asking about this every single time.

Also, could you maybe not let me get a message when someone posts a status update?

I'm not too sure if we can change that, since it's part of the forum software. I'll see what we can do.

Just to let you know, you can also click on View All Updates to be taken to a page with a bigger text entry box (see image 1).

What kind of a message are you getting? You should only be getting a "notification" that shows up on this board (not an email), and it's part of your notification preferences (see image 2).

Only a few more items to tweak, then I can finally turn my attention to preparing the announcement. Can't wait until our new home is crawling with users again. :D

Are you guys finding it easier or harder to navigate? Any area that could be improved?

Not harder to navigate, it's just that It's not what I got used to, so it'll take a bot of relearning. Just a side effect of the change.

Understood. Let me know if you hit any areas that could be improved. :)
