Edit your existing blog posts now to add keywords... - Enhanced favorite games list. You can now list up to 100 favorite games, but still only the top 10 contribute to BYOND Ranks.
There's also a new full-page view for your favorite games (click on the "More..." link in your list) which allows sorting by various critera. For guilds, their favorite games can be sorted by Guild Staff order (the order in the website editor page) or Guild Members order. For Guild Members order, the rankings of that guild's members determine the ordering of the guild's games.
Comments, questions, and bug reports are welcome!
This update brings many new features aimed at improving the presentation of guild sites, but they'll be very useful for bloggers, too. This includes:

Very Nice!

I tried to edit my layout three times and kept getting logged out. Is something not meshing with the main site or have there just been some weird server issues?
Edit: Make that 4. It seems to happen whenever I try to remove the Guild Info box. (I'm trying to move it into another column.) | |
Wicked! Is it possible that any of the functionality for the expanded "More..." listing of favorite games might ever get included in the sidebar listing? It would be awesome if I could click on "My Site" and BAM! I could see which games in my favorites were online.

Yay! New toys!

Suggestion, when a poll is attached to a member's post, on the main page, could it have... (this could also go for images?)
It might be something that's not worth to put in, but it's my 2 cents.

So is this why BYOND was down the past few hours?

Bug Alert! If you look at my members' page, you'll see a block with "My Fans" on it. Nothing wrong, right? Except for one minor detail: I renamed it to something else.
Looks like the "Fans" block and possibly other blocks don't change their titles when they're supposed to. EDIT: Bug Alert #2! Found an old bug which appearantly has been laying around for awhile. I discarded the "My Interests" block and to make it look nice I decided to empty the "Interests" bit on the "Edit Site" page. I'm getting an error that it's "unable to save to the database" when I empty the "Interests" textbox and try to save. Also, I think the "Favorite blogs box title" should be removed. | |
Yea, I found a bug too. If you go to add a blog post, then click on the "Return to Site" link, you'll get this error:
The requested page was not found: /PopisfizzyPopisfizzy | |
It logs me out when i try to edit a poll or a post i made wtf and then when i click login it auto logs me in and im okay but still kinda weird O>O
| |
Yeah. I've having a bit of luck right now, but the logout problem has been driving me nuts.
| |
Ah, keywords! Splendid! This will be excellent for the sites that provide useful information.
| |
Wasn't there a link to get from a specific blog post to the general blog? Is it hidden, removed, or am I just missing it?
| |
Looks like it's gone. We need that back pronto.

Comments for Mike H's "Members Update: flexible layout, polls, keywords" BYOND's Site It's still there. | |
We're not talking about the comment section. Click the title link and then you'll see the specific blog post. The link used to be there too.
| |
This post won't die off of the main page. What have you done?!
