SPRINT: "BYE OCTOBER" EDITION

Hi everyone, Bug here! This is, once again, not a usual sprint, because our layout changes have kept us very busy.

AMBER'S UPDATES

Hello from Amber! I forgot to write this before I left this afternoon for a tech meetup so I'm currently dodging traffic and not petting dogs I see to write this for you guys. As Bug pointed out, we've been very busy updating pages that the recent layout changes messed up. I've also been updating items and pages you guys have been submitting! This coming week I'll be doing a lot more to various pages because Fireside and battle things aren't for a few weeks. Man I realize while typing this I had an excellent chance to write this like an adventure diary because I've almost wandered into two do not enter cross walk areas. Anyways! Keep submitting broken pages! Let Ariel and I know about any odd items (like wrong type, etc). Okay bye

PS enjoy new resort.

BUG'S UPDATES

Today's sprint post, for me, is gonna be more of an updates post. The Layout Changes topic has many pages now so I thought it would be nice to recap what changes were made (like in the past week or so) That way you have a list of what's happened so far, all in one place.

Please note that the changes we are making are not purely aesthetic, despite being layout changes. We are trying to get rid of stale dependencies, make our page code more consistent across the site, and bring everything up to modern coding standards. A lot of things are getting rewritten completely and the new look and feel may take some time to get used to. I'd like to ask that feedback regarding the look-and-feel wait for now - we'll definitely come back to it and make any tweaks necessary, but our first priority is to clean up the structure of each page.

Okay so here is my list:

Oct 28

  • Fix sCode preview on forum posts (and yes they scroll now if your post is long!!)

Oct 29

  • Replaced the broken (and now obsolete) See More Quests button with a list of quest links at the top of each quest page.
  • Began converting Quest pages to use bootstrap.
  • Convert Training page to bootstrap. (This was still using HTML tables for layout!)
  • Rewrote the Referrals Page (which is now a single page, rather than having just the referral link on its own, separate page)
  • Fixed weird squished layouts on the zapper and ToT pages
  • Revamped Account Search page and added single-click remove item feature (works with shops, galleries, vaults, and wardrobe)

Oct 30 + 31

  • Tweaked new Account Search, small fixes
  • Added a "To Next Tier" counter on the pets page. This didn't have to do with the Layout Changes. I just wanted to give you a small new feature as a Morostide treat for this sprint.

Nov 1

  • Bring "Did-You-Mean" back to Account Search
  • Fix horizontal scrollbar/missing bookmarks problem on news page
  • Fixed recycle beast and vending machine pages on half screens
  • Revamped Trading Center to use bootstrap (another part of the site that was still using HTML tables for layout!)
  • Rewrote game menus with bootstrap and made them smaller

Nov 2

  • Fix sCode previews on Create New Topic and Edit Post forms
  • Put a line break between item name and rarity in your inventory items
  • Convert News pages to bootstrap (which fixed the problem with news posts and HA headshots getting squished on half screen)
  • Fixed squished layout on a couple shop pages (more to come)

I've still got a big to-do list and I do read every single post on the Layout Changes thread, so please don't worry about your problems being overlooked. It's more likely I just haven't gotten to it yet. However, please ping me and let me know if you notice pages without a footer and/or pages where the right-side bookmarks are completely missing, EXCEPT for the item use page. I've been trying to fix all of these but I might have missed some.

Enjoy!! I hope you guys had a great October and are looking forward to the holidays coming next :)

Thanks for pointing that out. I just pushed a change to make it trim trailing spaces, so that you won't have that problem anymore :)
