Site announcement Changes: Forum and mainsite (Read 7742 times)

  • Group: Guest
A few people have pointed this out but it was an intentional design choice from my side. The finalized skin won't have these buttons, so it's all cool.

Thanks for pointing it out though.

This isn't a huge issue but how difficult would it be to have the mainsite use our display name in comments rather than our account names?

I didn't notice it used the account name. I'll have that fixed before the launch.

This is me being anal, but the font in front of the search form on the mainsite is in serif when the rest of the site is written in sans serif. Switching it to the same font as the rest of the site would be sweet. :)

It's only visible when there are no posts in a category, but this won't be the case when the site is actually launched so it's fine.

Drule is still coding and fixing things, I believe. He was just doing some forum-site integration stuff; he might still be working on making all of that work properly.

Drule i think that the average member needs more input into the direction of GW like they have for the last 5 iterations. these are the facts drule, and we decided them together.
the front page needs to be constantly updated with LOADS of content. i'm talking twice a day. people want to read constantly, especially gamers, so long articles about college or pirates would be perfect for attracting new members. furthermore, if there's a constant stream of them, this will mean users have to be on the site constantly! if they miss some or go to sleep, they'll have to spend extra time the next day reading the content!

honestly new members used to come from random dudes searching how to do X in Y maker, now they come from chefs youtube account. it doesn't matter if the main page was static because they'd see it once. if you want them to sign onto the forums you can't answer their questions, you need them to have to sign up to ask WHERE'S THE HELP FILE

Hey.

I've spent the past few days moving. Didn't think it would take up so much of my time, but my daily routine has basically been work -> paint -> sleep -> work -> paint -> sleep so I've had little free time to work on GW.

But yeah, the mainsite is 100% done. The only holdup is that I am waiting for a pretty vital sidebar navigation function to be coded. When this is done we will launch the site, write up a topic about the direction of the community and also start integrating the forums into the mainsite. Expect it to take two to three days.

Looking good so far, Drule.
