Hey everyone.

As you can probably tell, things look a little different around here. Although scheduled for Oct 1st, we went ahead and launched the new website design anyway, which has been long overdue... Hope you like it!

Besides the obvious design updates, there have been a few key changes:

  • New look for the forums - no more ugly tables, a bit easier to navigate
  • New dashboard page, with quick magic words entry, forum activity, private messages, personal stats, your token inventory, way better dashboard menu and more.
  • Updated user profiles with new look + additional stats, new sorting options on the community directory

We have also gone through and updated all the main menu items and content pages. If you see anything content related that does not seem right or seems to be outdated, please let us know.

As always, there are more updates in progress and we are constantly working on making improvements to the system (although sometimes get sidetracked).

Some of the upcoming changes and new features over the next two weeks ™ few months include:

  • Sub-forums
  • Threaded forum comments
  • Upvote/downvote system to replace "Likes"
  • Better moderator and forum management controls
  • New forum sorting options
  • Token Controlled Access options for blogs and individual blog posts
  • A "Create your blog" page where anyone can start their own blog
  • Updates to author / editorial submissions and work flow

Stay tuned for more details.

Any feedback, comments or suggestions would be much appreciated. If you see any bugs or display issues, you can let us know here in this thread, contact me directly or submit an issue on our Github repository

PS: If in the "Recent Transactions" section on your dashboard, it just says "Reading blockchain...check again in a few minutes." and does not seem to go away... I am aware of the issue already and working on it :)

    After messing with the redesigned site for only a few minutes I can say it is prettier and easier to navigate (finding Magic Words the exception). Nice work guys!

    @jorj_X_mckie We will add a link to the magic word in the main menu again, as soon as we make a new explainer page. It's on our to-do list.

    Thanks for the feedback, everyone.

    Yeah, as @cherapple mentioned, we took off the Magic Words link from the main menu because it would just go to the magic words dashboard section.. but the problem is it would go to a 403 error page if you were not logged in. We are going to be replacing it shortly with a public explainer page of what Magic Words are all about, which will also make it easier to find again.

    @cryptonaut great job as always :D This site is unbelievable!!! I have gone through the site and here is what i find as pros and cons since you asked for feedback:

    Front Page

    • I love the complete look of this much more the the last one. Very clean and nothing wrong with the layout

    • I personally think, that the upper right hand quick access show should always be the most recent episode of LTB instead of the most recent episode overall. Thats the flagship show and should be displayed as such.

    • The recent comments section is a little confusing when you look at it, because it shows what a recent member said, but not the title of what they had been commenting on, so it looks weird. I would suggest either replace it with just titles of the most recently commented threads, or add the title to the recent comment at the top so i know what the person was commenting on. Also there is a lot of real estate between each of these comments, i would suggest squeezing it a little

    • The list view for the front page shows, simply changes it to a wordpress blog style scroller, not really a list. I would like to see an option to make the front page a list view just like the new forums page

    Account page

    • Obviously it was confusing to learn everything new home at the beginning, but now that i am used to it, the organization structure is much better.

    The rest of the site

    • damn, i wanted to nit-pick this but i cant find anything wrong lol. This is probably more of my preference, but i always enjoy smaller text, and the site has larger text then normal in addition to more space between lines and boxes. I would like to see that squeezed, but its just me stretching to find something lol
