Announcement: Cash Shop Revamp!

The Cash Shop got a makeover for Black Friday! Here's an overview of what got changed, what's coming, and how to report any issues you may encounter.

Overview of Changes

Layout updates! [ol]
  • There's now a fancy new header navigation at the top of each Cash Shop page. In addition to navigation links, it also shows your CSC and LP totals, with a link to your rewards card and the loyalty shop.
  • There is a new home page that will show cash-shop-related news post, as well as a sidebar with quick links and reminders.
  • Most pages have been given a visual update to make it consistent with modern Subeta!
  • [/ol]Major functionality updates [ol]
  • The following pages have been converted to special shops: Gold Accounts, Items, and Neela. Also, there is now a pop-up confirmation when you click the Buy button to spend CSC.
  • The cart system has been streamlined and should be able to handle a reasonable amount of items. Note: The cart is currently only available in the special shops. It will be added to other pages (like the Boutique and Costume Trunks) shortly.
  • [/ol]Upcoming changes (and things that are still in the works) [ol]
  • CS Logs - We are looking into making these more accurate, and finding a clearer way of presenting them.
  • Search bar - This will be in the header and it'll allow you to search for an item and find out if it's in the Cash Shop, and which section it's in.
  • Gifting feature - This has been temporarily removed, as we work on a new-and-improved version of it that's integrated with Arctic Frost - and will hopefully be live in time for Luminaire!
  • [/ol]

    Reporting problems and bugs

    Before Reporting a Problem
    • Remove your custom CSS.
    • Make sure your browser is at 100% zoom.
    • Check things like AdBlock, browser extensions, and userscripts - anything external that could be messing with the page, especially external JavaScript.
    When Reporting a Problem
    • Include information about your browser, operating system, and device.
    • Be as descriptive as possible, especially about conditions you notice that make the problem appear.
    NOTE - Please file a ticket if the bug is potentially exploitable. For instance, if you find a way to give yourself duplicate items or free CSC, please report it via a ticket instead of a public forum post. If you are not sure if a glitch can be abused or not, please file a ticket just to be safe.

    For general feedback, questions and comments, please feel free to post on this topic! We look forward to hearing your thoughts.

    What do you mean by contrast between the sections? Can you give an example?

    As for the images being blurry, let me check if there is anything I can do about that :) (I'm worried there might not be anything we can do though, since they are just normal item images resized to be smaller. I think all images get blurrier when you resize them to a smaller size, and I'm not sure if it's possible to prevent that.)

    Thank you so much for letting us know! I'll go add that link in now. That was totally my mistake.

    And I will see what I can do about the mobile layout issue on the GA page. That does sound very inconvenient to have to scroll past, so if I can't figure out how to put multiple in a row on mobile, I wonder if I can put it in a sliding box (like a spoiler) so it doesn't force you to scroll.

    Whoops! Fixed that. Coupons in the Cash Shop haven't been an active thing for a really long time. We didn't add it in because it's not a thing we do anymore (and you've had plenty of time to use said coupons!)

    The GA medals have always had a discount for buying bigger GAs. (That means, for instance, if you buy a 2 month medal, that is cheaper than buying two 1 month medals)

    We don't have any plans to remove this discount, so enjoy :)

    You're right. I will add the header to those pages :)

    That seems to be a common sentiment. Do you have any ideas on how we could make the welcome page look less cluttered? We want to keep the news posts and sidebar, but there must be a way to format it so it's visually less cluttered-looking. I was thinking that maybe reformatting it to be like the regular news page will help? (Basically, having each news post be its own box with a light-gray background on the title, and borders and padding?)

    I know people have complained about too much whitespace on other things we revamped, so any ideas on how to find a proper balance would be welcome :) (This is one of those times I wish I was more knowledgable about the design side of things, instead of just coding!)

    Pinging the following because you mentioned similar feedback in news comments: (Don't feel pressured to respond if you don't want btw!)

    Oh that looks super good. Just having like a more contrasting background color for the titles helps a lot!

    Quote by Avel
    There is a lot of big, bold print on both sides, which in the addition all of the pictures (each new posts has like 5, which looks nice on the actual news page but it&;s a lot in a small space), makes it hard for your eyes to settle anywhere.
    That's a great insight, thank you! I think that's why the regular news page isn't too cluttered-looking - each news post is its own block. I'm down for doing something similar here too.

    The purchase logs are down momentarily, but I'm prioritizing bringing them back up. They should be up again by Tuesday!

    It was discounting them through all purchases, though we were not saying that publicly (for hopefully obvious reasons)

    You may open a ticket if you'd like a staff member to double-check your logs :)

    As far as coupons go, we discontinued them 5 years ago. Based on logs, people haven't really used them in ages, so we thought it was okay to just kill that feature off. and I are taking the feedback here though and working on something in exchange for those coupons after black friday. :) We'll have more information soon!
