Hey guys and gals
We rolled out two fairly major new features today:
1) Global Logins. Your forum account is your RWL account, no more three sets of passwords.
As you can see with the turbo signup, it really simplifies things out.
Any issues with this part please let me know.
2) Turbo style. Turbo is completely different layout wise, even if you normally don't play Turbo I highly recommend taking a look.
Any issues with this part please let Ollie know.
Oh, and there's a new chatbox. It may float around till I find where I want it to go, or it may stay aaalll the way down there. We'll see.
Enjoy
Aaand I posted the topic with Nero, my test account. Not worth fixing.
Interesting, but will be there an option to go back to the classic style for old fogies like me?
Oh my gosh! I love it! And yeah. Eventually, I'll get nostalgic and want the old one back for a run.
Gotta say, both windy and ollie did a fantastic job with the new theme and the global logins. Thank guys :)
It wont let me log into reg
-edit- nevermind its working now
Volky, Ian -- I think Ollie has plans to add a 'classic' skin with the vertical menubar. Its just not done yet.
Night Wolf -- Curious, what temporarily broke with the reg login? I only tested it twice, but it worked each time.
Yes, I'd like everyone to message me with any suggestions or problems. I expect there to be problems. This design involved a LOT of changing important code - and the only thing I'm good at is making things shiney.
Upcoming projects (hopefully before I leave for camp in july)
- Improve the horizonal menu, using more javascript so that it's more intuitive.
- Yes, I will be making a vertical navigation version of the current RWL2-Dark theme, as well as eventually I'll redo the hidden fox theme. I might redo one of the other old theme's for the nostalgic few. I know I have a heart on for Retto's weird brown/green/gray pallette.
looking good, but maybe to make it more user friendly it could be an automatic drop down menu when you hover over things such as 'use turns' instead of having to click on it, that would be pretty cool :D
Actually that is less user friendly. But I am going to work on a few tweaks to the menu. I want it so that 2 seconds after you are /not/ hovering, it hides the menu.
Woah, I'm not around much at the moment, but this is pretty cool. Also, yay for shout box.
Are we able to post reviews/thoughts on the new look? Or should stuff like that go directly to PA view a PM?
I have to say it does look rather refreshing :)
There's a thread in the bug forum if you have bugs with it, otherwise if you have impressions I'm fairly certain that you just post them here there or everywhere. I am compiling some kind of post compendium.
There's one thing that bugs me and that's the Facebook message thing :P Maybe a scroll or something would be more RWL?
Loving some of your comments in the code PA!
<!-- Then I render the circle, indeed it is magical! -->
I seriously need to make some time to look at this via firebug, looks like you've done some pretty cool things here!

I just realized, there is no health counter, that I can find, on any screen. Has health been taken out of the game or did you just not add it?
It's on the home screen. And I think peace was talking about making the green circle on the top left show your health in a diagrammatic fashion.

the green circle with your rank in it will count your health if it is below 100%.
