Old Site Issues - Archieved here
« on: May 11, 2006, 04:33:22 PM »
or post compliments lol

It goes without saying that a MASSIVE amount of work went into creating this portal (THANKS RJ!).  With that said, the odds of us having everything 100% perfect on opening day are slim to none.  Especially with a database merge, accounts, user profiles, etc.

Let us know if you have any problems and we'll be sure to look into them.

The site is also very flexible so we'll likely be making some changes as we learn what works and what doesn't :)

That was fun :)

Karma is something that's really just a lottle bit of fun.  If you like a post someone made, or somethign they did, give them karma!  If you dislike it, give them negative karma.  You do need a reason for why you gave the karma though.

I really like the busy look of the forums now.

I think the top needs updating now though, different color or something.

I would be happy to make a banner for you guys if you need it.

Be sure to take a look at your profile too.  There's loads of new stuff like Personal Text (goes under your avatar), different smilie sets, and other things you can see if you explore.

This site is now more powerful that it's ever been.  Take your time, browse, and discover something that you may have never expected a Great Adventure fansite to have.

Also on the main page I think that the stories should only go down to where the text ends. The extra gray looks kinda weird.

Oooooh, aaaahhhhh. I like the new features, I'm sure I'm missing some features but from what I've seen it's great.

(I really like the warning as I'm writing this post)

Just a note on a tweak I just made.  If you use RSS feeds, we now have multiple feeds to choose from.  Just click the logo at the top of the page to choose.

Just to let everybody know, we are already aware that the left column icons for thread status are difficult to see on some monitors.  We are working on modifying them so that they are brighter.

Wow, now this is a change! I didn't even know it had changed due to the updated link. My link to the "View New Posts" button kept saying it was down for an update without any additional information until I went to the main site!

I'm glad the DB merge and everything went well, there is a lot more stuff to play with here, and it will take some getting used to, but neat!

Good Luck Guys!

:o I hadn't stopped by here in a couple weeks and after getting a concussion from banging my head against the keyboard due to "WTF-inducing posts" at Source, I wanted to post more frequently here.

The new site looks sexy as Angelina Jolie ( 8)), but it is going to take a while to get used to, and become aquainted with all the gadgets and gismos is has.

Awesome job guys, it really looks great!

Very nice new site guys! I love all of the new features, like quick reply and the personal text. The new look is great as well. It seems like you guys put a lot of time into this, and I think it was a great success. Good work.  ;D

PS love the new smilies!
