Website Relaunch 2011

Wednesday 14 December 2011 - 09:33:08 | Website News | 2 Comments

It's been long overdue, and we are in the process of rolling out a new website design to bring us up to date with the latest technologies available.

The last major re-design of the website was back in 2007, and has been showing its age over the last year.

We ask for your patience while the new design goes live, it's no easy task, and will take a number of weeks before all bugs are ironed out.

Once completed, we will have the following benefits:

* Fresh / Crisp Look and feel

* Optimised for iPad / Android Tablets

* Optimised for Mobile Phones (iPhone / Android / Windows Mobile)

* Responsive Design - Page elements resize automatically to fit your browser window, with responsive Fancybox images.

* Social Functions - Share forum posts / news / articles on Google+, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn

Example Fancybox image:

* Premium Membership will now automatically renews for new Premium Members (with the ability to cancel at any time) existing members will benefit from this feature upon current membership expiring).

* Forum redesigned - clean / crisp look optimised for all devices.

Please note that the online store has been taken down until further notice while some process issues are addressed, The website will be stripped down to basics, and re-build bit by bit offering a consistent look and feel.

We hope you will be excited by the above changes, and bear with us during this phase, As always, thank you for your support.

Thanks.

:) I've actually done a re-orgaise of the navigation links so it should be a little better ... further changes to make to trim it down etc...

also added in a notification system which needs a little more tweaking, this will be used to promote premium membership and to notify you of important things / events etc...

you can close the notification and re-open if your a premium member in 14 days, or every 3 days if your not a premium member...

Hi all!

Been busy tonight again!

The private message system has been re-designed so all you do is click private messages at the top of page and you can see what I've done! You now get easy access to all aspects of the messaging system which is cool! :) and details on usage etc...

I've also tweaked the top of the page to display number of inbox messages as unread in your inbox. The slide in notification has not yet been updated due to issues I'm currently looking at but the view is that this will also display number of unread messages too.

I've also removed some stuff from the forum on the full site like forum jump as it was difficult to use and looked a mess :) also trimmed down the area where avatar / premium member badge is shown etc...

Will implement the notifications mentioned in my previous thread on the mobile theme and further work on that perhaps tomorrow!

Please let me know of any issues :) cheers y'all

Pete

Hi everyone.

I have now enabled a new image handler on the website...

It utilises something called 'fancy box' which is pretty cool as if the image is larger than your screen it will resize it on the fly, so viewing images on iPhone / iPad / desktop looks great!

Another little cool thing is that it will allow you to view all images on the page you are viewing... this is pretty cool on build threads or a thread that contains a lot of photos... you can also use your scroll wheel on your mouse to view the previous / next image :)

Have a play!

let me know any issues...

Here's a few example images to see how it works :)

performed a few optimisations with the login menu in regards to detecting if you have an unread message which triggers the alert... should now reduce the amount of DB queries :)

currently looking into adding some notifications of when your premium membeship is due to be renewed...
