Chat service & Store overhaul

Admin · 03-23-2012, 04:44 AM

We decided to replace both the ChatBox and bar in the bottom of the page with a new shoutbox on the Home and Video Chat pages. This box allows you to send both public and private messages. By clicking on any username, it opens a new tab in which you can talk privately. Because many members disabled the bottom bar, we found no use for it anymore, but we still wanted to provide a private instant chat service.

Also, we set up the Video Chat so that you automatically log in with your username. We will soon join forces with another forum as for this particular chat so expect a major change in its activity soon.

Last but not least, the Store page got an overhaul as well. Instead of placing every product on a new line, which did lead to a massive amount of scrolling because we got quite a bunch of products, we decided to go for the other extreme and made it very compact without any loss of information. The amount of products on each line now depends on the window's width.

And that's it for now. More changes are coming soon but those won't be as obvious as the above.
