New Website Feedback

[Tbone]

Hey guys,

Welcome to the new site! Just to put this in perspective, we haven't had a new website since 2004! Yikes!

Anyway, we're still setting up proper links and adding content, so be aware that some things won't work or will look incomplete.

That said, please give us your feedback! Help us squash bugs! Any features missing that you want for the new site? Anything look stupid? Let us know!

Nice. Well done all who worked on this and agonised over fonts etc.

Need to reinstall and configure the EVE API mod. It's essential for corp security.

And can the "Recent Posts" block be split into "Recent News" and "Recent Forum Posts"? Seems a little bloated to having all lumped together.

Can there be some sort of quick reply ability added? Nevermind found it.

Also, Masters can currently see the Archives forum. Is that intentional? We were not able to see it before.

-Split news and posts
-Removed access to "Archive"

I'll have to talk to Lith about the EVE API and the best way to implement it. I'm also not sure if there's a way to have the quick reply expanded by default.

[Anamodiel]

You have to go into your profile and set it to do (Look and Layout section, second from the bottom). I don't know if there's a way to change that in some master forum default, however.

Would also like the EVE forums set up as they exist on the dev environment, to keep things organized.

When you click reply, type a reply and hit submit, can it please redirect back to the thread instead of booting you back to the forums?

That's another option you have to specifically set in your Profile in the same place I mentioned earlier.

Profile-->Account Settings-->Modify Profile-->Look and Layout-->"Return to topics after posting by default"

Cool thanks.

Isn't there a way to create forms within SMF?  Rather than asking people to send an email to Tbone with their information, the form gets posted to a private board.  The admins/mods who have access to that board can then review the submissions and process them.

Something like this:

http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1279

[Tbone]

Yeah, there are custom mods for it. Lithium just ran out of time today.

This worked perfectly, thanks mayn.

Can't embed youtube videos for some reason?  The iframe html just gets output as plain text.

Yeah, I fixed your earlier post. Right now the work around is to use the flash tag and change "embed" to "v" in the link. SMF is a bit more locked down with this stuff, but I already asked Lithium about it, so he should take a look tonight.
