Site Updates: New look and feel


Matt

Recommended Posts

Hi Hubbers,

 

We'll be rolling out some site updates tonight, 11 Jan 2012, at 23h00.

 

During this time the site will be unavailable for approximately 3 hours.

 

The key updates:

  • Platform update: Latest version of the community platform our Hub runs on.
    This version includes many efficiency improvements - it will be faster!
    It also introduces some great new features and opens up new possibilities for arranging and finding content on The Hub... but more on that after the upgrade.
  • Look 'n feel: A few subtle changes to the look and feel of the site.
    Not to worry, nothing major. Mostly subtle colour and styling tweaks, but most things will be just where you left them
     
  • Mobile site: Improvements to compatibility and features available via mobile

I'll post more details on all the changes tomorrow.

 

Matt

Hi all,

 

The updates have been completed successfully. You'll notice some of the visual changes right away (if things look odd try pressing Ctrl + F5 or clear your browser cache).

 

The site will be somewhat slow for the next few hours as content is re-indexed, but within a day things will be up to full speed.

 

I'll post a full run down of the changes and new features later today.

 

If you do encounter a problem or have a suggestion please post these in the Comments & Suggestions forum.

 

Thanks,

Matt

Doesn't look right though....top left looks out of alignment by the nav bar and the Latest Forum Posts column. Nav bar also covering up the breadcrumbs line.

I cannot see active topics, the scroll bar in the topic forum does not woRK correctly for me, I keep getting a red line and cannot scroll properly, also and not likeing the large black columns down the sides. Also how do you set the newest post or last post first on a thread

Subtle? The graphic change is quite noticeable, as is the speed increase. It's a lot narrower in terms of screen space, is there a setting for making it wide again?

is it just me or has the layout of the hub changed? My layout is completely different today and it sucks (sorry to whoever changed it) but I can't get into the forums very easily. The ad scroll down on the left covers up the forum drop down when it appears and it's very difficult to get into anything.
