Guild Update #1

Thanks to the work of Deadron, today's minor update includes a few new guild features:
  • AJAX interface for couple of the boxes in your Manage Guild page. No more form submits or full page refreshes when updating settings! We plan to migrate more of the site to AJAX over time.
  • The much anticipated Leave button. If you no longer want to be a member of a particular guild, just go to that guild's page and click Leave. Eventually we'll also provide some sort of page that will list all of your guild memberships so you can manage them in one easy place.

This update also brings a couple of behind-the-scenes changes that will help make generation of the main Members index a bit faster.

Yay!

Cool!

Cool, simple enough while being functional.

I do wonder, is that loading Circle come from Mozilla software? It looks almost exactly like Mozilla FireFox's pulser(loading icon in the top right).

I would like to see more of the page as AJAX, but I suppose that will take time. I will be peeping at the page's source, because I am interested to see how it is done, even though I think it is just some javascript that sends a GET to the server.

Apparently so.



Though my initial reaction was that it came from Apple stuff, knowing Deadron. And that's of course where Mozilla stolegot the idea.

Looks like I should make a BYOND atom-based version.

I request this feature:

<!--
<input type="checkbox" name="email_applications" value="1"/>Email application notices

-->

Come on, you already have it in the HTML, just make the backend >:D

Maybe add a list in the "edit site" area that shows what guilds your in?
...I'm thinking I might have joined some random guilds when the guilds were first created just because it amazed me or something like that and would like to see what guilds I'm in incase they don't post,etc. often

How about letting guilds be benefactors?

I have no idea what you mean by that?

I turned Iccusion Entertainment into a guild and now it no longer shows on the list.

Nevermind. Turning into a guild unchecks it.

He meant that people can donate to BYOND in the name of a particular guild. So let's say if I donated to BYOND, I would be able to put put my guild on the benefactor list rather than myself.

I don't have anything against this feature; only too bad you can't name guilds.

EDIT: Oh, he was a bit earlier. Dunno why I skipped over his reply. >_>

Turning into a guild unchecks it.

Are you sure? If so, that's a bug. I'm unable to reproduce it -- can you?

To be clear, guilds have nothing to do with the benefactor list. If you want to donate in the name of a guild you own, just donate from the guild key.

By the way, the "Top Benefactors" box on the main page updates every hour. So you'll be back on there soon... You're already on the full listing.

Well, I didn't uncheck the box. But, I can't reproduce it either. So, I don't know.

I don't like the Leave button. Once you're in a gang, you're in it for life. >=|

If you've added a leave button could you please add a "break legs" button for guild members to click on ex-guild member's blog pages?

I like the new interface. Dropping the page refreshes is truly nice!

I used the first thing I could get my hands on, which did happen to be a website providing progress indicators that emulated Mozilla.

Now I gotta go take a look at the atom-based progress indicator!
