Site Updates

Mostly been doing minor updates and bugfixes recently, cba to write all of those down.

04. October 2015

New brown css which i'll prolly make the default at some point because i got depressed with the blue/greenish one.

Bunch of backend fixes.

Currently still working on Player and Team rankings.

07. September 2015

Back end addition of "Game Types" information for matches and tournament results which will be needed later on for any form of ranking.

Teams lineups are now split into "squads" which each is associated with a single game category to better represent multi game teams or just multi squad teams.

Every forum post can now also have a poll attached to it.

25. August 2015
Added some betting stats which you can find by clicking on your username -> Betting or for other people by using the drop down menu in their profile
24. August 2015
Added a user mention/notifiction system, when writing @<username> the tag will be made into a link and the user will be notified about being mentioned in a post or comment.
A new calendar view by month.

23. August 2015
(Probably forgot a few updates)
Changed the game icons in a lot of places into white font-icons for better contrast (dark red on black background didn't really look that great).

07. August 2015
New front page design, hopefully its a bit more informative and less "image heavy" on the eyes.
I have reset the featured user setting for everyone to enabled so they can see the new front page and decide again if they wish to disable it.
Non registered users who had featured posts disabled will have to still re-enable them themselves.
New default and dark theme. In the process of cleaning up my CSS work i had to retire the old default/dark and midnight theme in favor of these new ones.
Event posts can now be featured on the front page as well, they will show up in a separate area.

And as always lots of other minor bug fixes.

Forgive me if I'm being retarded, but is there a way to view all the bets you've placed?

noctis

I guess its not really obvious. On your profile page in the summary "Bets placed 2", click on the number.

I'm gonna create a better betting UI at some point that shows all your betting stuff in one place.

That actually should be pretty obvious to most people. Maybe put "(Click here to view)" after the number for people like me

This is awesome!

Redesigned the frontpage "a bit".

rehepapp

Not yet but its on my todo list.

There is now. :)

The comment indicators now also show an asterisk * when the thread has 0 comments and hasn't been viewed yet.

Actually in the settings I had "featured" checked, but it was still hidden (good, I still hate it ;))

New "dark" theme is not dark enough, this editor I'm typing into has too low contrast.

Not to mention the "reply to" number (barely visible, but why is it even there?! On ESR it was there because you used to reply in a box below all posts, now it's just useless, and on top of that you don't even show post numbers without mouse-over - meaningless)

Good point about the "reply to" thing, haven't really thought about that in a while, changed it.

I have no idea what monitor setup you have (i've seen a few very drastically different ones recently, hence why i made the new default darker in the first place) but the contrast looked good on my home monitors. I have no problem with changing that color tho.

I've made the input backgrounds darker, is it any better now?

Both very good changes, thank you! :)

Hm, I think the white BG worked better with the comment-boxes. There's hardly a diff now between the default and the dark theme it seems.

Hm, i thought the darker background makes it easier on the eyes to read (the comments), similar to esr. I've had the chance to test the previous bright default theme on a few other PCs recently and on most of them it was just ridiculously bright. Trying to cater to every possible monitor setup is one thing i started to hate most about creating a website. :D

There only being little difference between the dark and the new default one just comes from wanting to make a new default theme that's easier on the eyes in general but still at least giving the option for a completely dark theme.

I'll think about offering at least one bright option again if that's really something people liked.

I guess what I don't like is that the comments are the same color as the right column now.
The main posts color theme is really nice, and worked for me for the comments too. At the end of the day, all subjective though.

Is there a way to change the date format?

No but i tried to stick to formats that don't confuse Americans or Europeans but i have no idea what format you use down there. ;)

@noctis you broke something with the latest update I guess...

Cannot set this event on the right track: http://www.plusforward.net/post/2951/Reversion-Cup-1/

The "Event Abbreviation" never get stored, and the tourney never gets displayed. Not to mention I had a blank page the first time I submitted the post :)

Should be fixed :)

simzary

<3 the new css!

asdfasdf

Hmm, mb im missing something, but the fact that mobile version of site is not displaying date/time of comments is intentional or not?

It's intentional for space reasons. If you really want to see the date just turn your phone into landscape mode. ;)

ohh... i knew i wanted to try something before sending this comment. silly me.

I've just added post images to news posts as a test. My best guess is nobody will like them due to the space they take up ;/

Can revert that change very fast tho, its just a small code change.

Removed again since "50% OF YOUR SCREEN IS JUST USELESS NOW".

The Livestreams page now also lists other site related streams (only from twitch for now) that haven't been added to the database. The database streams are now considered "featured streams" and they remain to be the only ones that can be added to posts and stuff for now.

Use the quickfilters/site filters if you only want to see streams for certain games.

Added other streams info now also the the sidebar, limited to 20 max. As with everything else this can also be filtered with the quick or site filters.
