Guild Launch News
Version 2.2 August 29th Sneak Peak 2
The following features are confirmed for Version 2.2 which is planned for release on August 29th. This feature list is not 100% complete and we may add and subtract from it. These features are in addition to the other sneak peak feature list:
General Features
User Notification System
We now have a way to notify all users at the top of every page if some system level event occurs such as the need to reboot one of the servers or something similar. We hope to never use this, but it is now available.
Forum Options on User Profile
User can now choose to have the "notify me of replies to this post" checkbox checked by default.
User Requests
The following items were specifically requested by users.
Upcoming Raid vs. Past Raid View Changes
Requested by: Baidden & Omegi
The Raids page is now split into two pages.
The "Upcoming Raids" page shows all raids occuring today and into the future and shows the earliest raid at the top of the page.
The "Past Raids" page shows all raids before today and shows the most recent raid at the top.
Character Selection Retention on Characters and Members Page in Admin
Request by: Cante & Some Others
There is now a chechbox to "Retain Selections" on the character and member list in Admin. This will allow you to perform multiple actions on many different members or characters quickly by keeping the selections.
The "Guild" Designation is now Game Specific
Requested by: asualt7 & Others
On the user facing portions of the sites the term "Guild" is now replaced with the game specific term be it "Linkshell" for Final Fantasy XI or "Kinship" for Lord of the Rings Online or "Clan" for Anarchy Online. This means that things like "Apply to Guild" will now read "Apply to Kinship" and "Guild Roster" will now read "Kinship Roster".
The admin areas and some of the description text still says "guild" but we'll iron those out in a future release.
Animated Forum Icons
Requested by: Everyone & Their Mother & Their Mother's Cat
When user avatars are uploaded if the avatar is less than 100 pixels wide it will not be resized for the forum. This will preserve any animation or transparency in the forum. The larger avatar for the user profile page and the tiny avatar for the shout box will still be resized and will lose animation. In addition an animated avatar wider than 100 pixels will be resized and will lose animation.
Enjoy!
