To keep all of you informed of site tweaks and updates, I will be providing weekly updates (as needed) summarizing what has or will be done that week.
Updates for this week:
Updates for this week:
- Removed Trending Content from the top of the site and moved it to the sidebar (on right on computer and bottom on mobile).
- Increased the number of posts visible in Latest Posts to 10.
- Achievements, badges and leader group standings were removed.
- Showcase system implemented.
- The Showcase system framework will serve as our location to "showcase" our aquariums. Maybe Tank of the Month and Photo of the Month in the future.
- It allows for easy separating of Overview, Specifications, Updates and Discussion. The discussion continues in a thread as it has always done.
- The owner of the aquarium can provide updates, maintain the specs and update the first page without it getting buried somewhere in the thread. This allows all of us to be able to follow along and quickly see the tank's timeline and progression.
- Our first Showcase aquarium is Dutch Dreamscape by @Hardwell. Please go over there and give him a like and your thoughts on his hard work. It's a beautiful aquarium.
- Lastly, the Showcase system MAY serve as the future home of all of our Journals. Here is where I need your thoughts. What do you think?
- Please see my Journal that has been converted to the article format. This is what our Journals will look like going forward.
- Question for you: Do you prefer that our Journals switch to the new Showcase system format that separates overview, specs, gallery, updates, discussion?
- Re-design of Journals and movement into nav bar.
- Potential change of homepage from forum list to New Posts and New Journal Updates.
- Improvements to widgets to show "Load More" button.
- Continued move of items from Resources to Articles.
- Continued addition of items to Glossary and Useful Links.
- UX improvements for mobile increasing simplicity of uploading images and creating posts.
- Bug fixes
