Guild Launch News
Build 222 of Version 1.6 is Now Live!
Build 222
Build 222 is our mid month release. Our theme for this release was more under the hood, we fixed some old bugs, and improved performance in alot of places. As we add more and more guilds those things are very important. We also added some great features requested by our users and some features we felt just had to be in our product.
Major Features
Raid Signups!
A "Signup" link will now appear on the raid list for all raids which occur later than the current date. Once there members of your guild can signup for a raid. The signup page orders the signups by the date they signed up so you can make decisions based on that. It also shows a count of how many of each class have signed up.
Along with the signup ability we have added the ability to see all raids on the calendare pages. When you go to a calendar day, the raid will show under the events for the day and the signup link is also available. In addition you can click a link on the calendar day detail pages to add a raid for that day.
Latest Raid Info Widget
We have added a widget that shows the latest Rapid Raid info. This widget shows the last raid and the last item that dropped, who won it, and how much they paid for it.
Increased Control Over Customization
On the Admin->Template tab we've done quite a few things.
The site header can now be fully positioned and a background color can be set to allow your header image to bleed.
The guid logo or name can now be fully positioned.
The page background now loads into a more intuitive location and has more positioning options.
All of the above have a better preview area than they did before to let you get a better idea of the effect of the settings.
Also, we've added a header gallery that has downloadable copies of all the headers for all of our templates.
We've added a downloadable sample css file to the Admin->Template tab under the Upload Custom CSS link. There are now a group of links at the top that let you do thing following:
* Download a sample CSS
* A tutorial for how to changes things like button backgrounds and section headers using CSS
We will be increasing the customization ability always, but we hope these new abilities will help open the door of personalizing your site.
Changes
* Avatars in the forums now link to the user's profile
* The Guild Summary widget now has level breakdowns to make the list more predictable. The levels are grouped into 10 level groupings, 1-10, 11-20, etc.
* The method of updating your forum name and password is now more intuitive.
* The last forum post widget now has a link to the forums
* The guild admin can now decide whether to allow members to upload images to the gallery. Available at the bottom of the Admin->Content tab.
* The guild admin can now decide whether to allow members to upload files to the file library. Available at the bottom of the Admin->Content tab.
Bug Fixes

* The occurence of page not found errors for certain browsers has been eliminated.
* Fixed the color and size dropdowns in the forum so that they work properly in all cases.

* Overall performance has been improved.
