News update
The update is the news :PIts been updated slightly. mostly this is a backend update, to better prepare us for being able to undertake website design overhauls after the site has been fully renovated.
Dont worry, We'll get a real designer (lets face it, I'm not the most artful person out there :) )
-MUCH easier to integrate into the site, more search engine friendly!
- will be fully compatible when we eventually switch over to single page app (this will keep the chat window open, and not reload each time you change a page)
- eventually, improve the system for editing comments, etc,
- makes it much easier to update the news content on the page
- preparing so we can tag posts , etc, file them , stuff like that,
- making space for developer blog , that way the game updates can be sidelined and the page is more cheery
- etc
-- remaining big ticket items
1/ messages(shouldnt be that bad)
2/ forums - only changing the updating posts etc to make it compatible with the single page app
3/ user profiles - incremental change. aka fix as we go.
4/ custom breeds - this will change after we overhaul the internal rendering system etc
-- eta for final makover
1 & 2, less than a week
3 / initial overhaul to make it 'play nice' with the system , < 1 week
4/ unknown, this is a major overhaul. its functional, so I'll probably wrap it in some sort of way such that it doesnt interfere with future page design etc and call it good (aka, procrastinate on this until the final overhaul happening when I finalize new graphics rendering etc)
