Site Updates Thread

[JC]

UglyJoe has done an amazing job with our game lists, merging our old cart and disk lists into one and making it easy for all of us to search. Check it out! And let us know what you think.

Many more exciting site changes to come!

When organising the lists by filtering out all games but pirates and such, there were 2 instances of Pandamar. I didn't bother to check if there were 2 instances without filters, but it's worth a check anyways.

[UglyJoe]

Pandamar is listed as a Pirate cart and also as a Hack of SMB.  So, one link is for the Pirate and the other is for SMB (which mentions Pandamar as a Hack). 

It probably shouldn't be listed as a Pirate.

[MaxXimus]

Ahh. That makes sence. It still seems to be a little weird though, as you stated. Maybe it should be removed as a pirate? Is it even available as a deticated cart, or is it only found on multis?

[JC]

I've never seen it as a single.

Just FYI...I've gone through most of the site and corrected broken links, missing images, etc. I like to check in with FW's linked websites every once in a while. There were a few sites that have gone down since I last checked, so I've updated that page to remove their links. I was especially sad to see Argentina's 8-bit site mostly gone. The message from that site: "We're fucking sorry. We're closed for now." Maybe they'll be back up sometime.

Just wanted to know how the redesign is coming along, and if the mods have any updates for us.

[JC]

It coming along nicely. Everything's about ready except for the new game list and the linked individual game pages. I hope it'll be all ready soon, so we can really get into adding new content. The old site's been pretty stagnant for a long time.

Hey!  The font just changed, and the checkerboard background changed a little, too...and the images all got a little blurrier.

[UglyJoe]

It did?  What are you talking about?

[nintendodork]

Mine used to have a slightly different font, and the background wasn't segmented.  I kind of like the new font, but the background is weird this way.

It's you, not us.  Try hitting Ctrl+0 or going to View -> Zoom -> Reset.

[nintendodork]

D'oh!  I was zoomed in.  I thought you guys were doing some sneaky changes.

[UglyJoe]

We'll be changing servers in the next couple of days.  The forum will experience a short period of downtime (about 15 minutes) sometime during the move.  I'll let you all know when the move has been made.

[UglyJoe]

Okay, seriously this time, we'll be changing servers tonight or tomorrow.  There will likely be a short period of forum downtime (hopefully less than 15 minutes).  I'll post here when the move has been completed.
