Your2ndPlace.com Updates. (Updated)

Posted in

I haven't broken anything significant yet. This, generally speaking, is a good thing.

More functionality being added as I type this - but the host is whining as I make the server do backflips so I have to wait until a few more things are done before I celebrate.

Yes, the theme is different. It's still a little too pink for my liking, but that can be changed once I get the core of the site doing what I want it to.

Comments will include updates to functionality, etc.
---------------------------------------------

10/18/2008: Changes of note -

  • Captchas are now enabled in the hope that this will deal with the spam comment issue. Experimentation elsewhere has shown it to be worthwhile; if spam becomes a problem again we'll just go back to moderating anonymous comments.
  • People can now email subscribe to comments.
  • The TinyMCE text editor, which was used for blogging, hasn't made it into the new version of the site because of resource usage. This may be changed, depending on whether the new editor doesn't drive people bonkers.
  • Links added to permit people to share things on a variety of sites.
  • Spam users deleted - these were accounts where people never logged in but had a user profile which told us all to buy their viagra.
  • Color scheme has gotten one vote (in comments, below). I'm not sure that I'm pleased with it, but hey... 
  • Incremental additions of functionality still happening. Update, test, fix, update, test, fix. Not like WSE.

Damn! This is fucking gorgeous!  It looks a lot cleaner and fancier than before.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE how the change looks so far! And ohhhh an email me when this comment is replied to option! Feels like Y2P Christmas morning.  All these new goodies! Thank You Nobody!

LOL. No prob, Sarah. Just playing with some toys.

Re: Your2ndPlace.com Updates.

I simply love the colour scheme :)



Re: Your2ndPlace.com Updates.

Looks good, although in firefox there's no real outline on the comments box here, but that doesn't stop you being able to enter a comment.

Also it says "Comment is not posted yet - please click
post button to confirm your post" yet the button is labelled Save.

Re: Your2ndPlace.com Updates.

Looks good, flowery, but I haven't posted for months, so I'll keep it closed

Re: Your2ndPlace.com Updates.

Yeah, the same background makes it kind of hard to see in the comments box. And the 'post' button issue is mainly a typo in the code (somewhere) which I will fix (sometime)... :-)

Re: Your2ndPlace.com Updates.

The changes, for the most part, are in place.

CAPTCHA functionality still needs to be fully implemented - when it is, Sarah and I won't have to moderate out Spam as much (you have no idea how much we get here!).

You can now receive emails when someone replies to a comment.

More functionality coming over the next few days. Feel free to complain/etc. :-)

Your2ndPlace.com Updates.

Looks good, nice job. It reminds me of my hoometown football team, and Sarah Nerds hair.


 


P.S. oh and it didn't take to long. I was thinking the site would be down for atleast 4 to 8 weeks. (little WSE humor)

Re: Your2ndPlace.com Updates.

That thought crossed my mind as well... the WSE thing... :-)
