Title: November Forum Update
Post by: Admin on November 16, 2013, 09:55:46 AM
Here's a brief update of some of the things we've been working on behind the scenes:

The current reputation system has been removed and replaced with a new, comprehensive post rating system with more flexibility and options.
+A new grading system will be added to the classified section, making it easier to grade the condition of items you list and to see the condition of items for sale.
+A new option to easily re-list an item in the classified section.
+Coming Soon: Link sharing - share links to other useful vinyl and audio related sites.
+Coming Soon: Vinyl Audio Store - more info will be released in the coming week!
+Minor tweaks to the 'look and feel' of the forum (icons, slight formatting changes)
Plus a whole lot more!

We'll post more updates as the changes take effect.

Thanks!

After a long vacation away from programming, I'm back at it again - making small changes here and there and getting ready for a few major changes.

January Update:

+ Changed the 'Read More' on the front page from a static .gif to an animated CSS button
!  Fixed the way the front page handles users with no avatars with a default avatar
+ Removed the OneAll.com social login and replaced it with an internal Facebook login system
+ Completed the vinyl grading page with a tab format, still working on the equipment grading page
+ Added an option to the profile drop-down menu to make it easier to find and read your own posts

Still a work in progress:

+ New classified ad features for easily re-listing an item and better grading support - 90% completed
+ Re-styling the classified item category listing - removing the blocks and tables for a more streamlined look
+ Postage calculator for the classified ad section - find out shipping costs without leaving the forum
+ Small CSS restyling of the item listing page
+ Adding new message categories and switching to an article system instead listing only new messages
+ Fixing minor html validation errors
+ Optimizing the CSS, changing the page headers for better SEO
+ Adding a built-in store - watch for more details coming soon!

Plus a whole lot more!

Thanks!
