Recent site updates - 40K Terra

Cirative · 08-28-2007

For those curious about what my work has been the last couple of days:

- Fixed front page Flash for IE users.
- Added META keywords to the front page.
- Removed unnecessary coding.
- Re-titled the site.
- Centered the forums banner.
- Removed that white line from the front page's Flash.
- Organized the forums a bit.
- Removed a bunch of pointless, unused and annoying forum options.
- Tweaked the layout's design.
- Added more words to the censor (mostly racial/ethnic slurs).
- Fixed up the banners and only kept a select few (each army only gets one, to be less biased).
- Re-worked the top 10 stats.
- Re-enabled the jump-to menu.
- And finally, gave input to Erus and Ikarus to remove the right navigation bar and reduce the gallery's thumbnails from 4 to 3.

There should be more touch-ups coming soon.

Dude.. Great and awesome work. I like the little things most,like that background you've put on all the site, etc.. The little bitty improvements are amazing. However, I'm going to start trying to more often mention the website on MySpace, in the forums I go to, etc.. I'll also see if I can get us a banner to put on facebook/myspace/live journal.

My art teacher always told me, "a little goes a long way."

Very Well done, however, (I'm sure many people might agree) The LAYOUT of the top 10 stats is confusing due to us always having the threads on the right of it.. any possibility of a change back..? I'm not saying you need to re-clutter it, just move the thread section back to it's rightful place. =p

True.. I didn't mean SPAM. I just meant mention now and again. As it is, I post a bit here and there, but don't mention the site much. I suppose banners would be best though. Nothings worse than pushy adverts, and banners are a good and easy going way to advert.

You mean the latest posts were on the right side? I can do that.

calvor · 08-29-2007

Good job on the updates there, I like what you have done

Templar Mikeel · 08-29-2007

Why is there only the top ten posters in the top ten? I like the background though.

yes I know I am just saying it froze for a while on 199 I remember posting at least 3 before it changed.

Cirative · 09-08-2007

I don't think that was any of us, probably just a general forum bug. It's correct now, though.

TheKiller333 · 09-08-2007

Muhaha, a little off topic here, but i'm amused that Cirative has 30 posts but is like, almighty Forum-tech-god-like-Cag. =P

Cirative · 09-08-2007

This is the 5th or 6th forum I've been an admin of since 1999, and in real life I'm a computer technician and web designer.

TheKiller333 · 09-08-2007

You know i'm gonna bug you for info how to do it one day? I'm fairly good at Programming and that's about it =p

Cirative · 09-10-2007

A few more site updates worth noting:

- Tweaked the layout a bit more (color alteration).
- Organized the forums more.
- Fixed a ton of forum typos.
- Removed unnecessary wording from forums (example: "Tau - Xenos").
- Added more slurs to censor.
- Added "In-Game Photos" to the gallery for those who take pictures of their mid-game battlefields.

And I assure you, WFB forums still exist, they've just been moved to the "Other Games" section where they should've been originally.
