August 25th Release Notes

Here it is… your moment of Zen… and build notes.

This week we focused a lot on getting ready for OpenID, so most of the work that is hitting the product is bug fix related.

Member Profile Enhancements/Changes

1. Kongregate added as an AKA to your profile.
2. The member challenge performance issues have been fixed and the gadget put back on the member home page.
3. RSS Import experiences will now run regularly. You can put in any RSS feed and it will automatically pull it into your Profile page. This allows you to pipe in content from other places where you contribute and aggregate it all together.
4. When auto-generated blog entries use member names, we are no longer assuming the case of the username. They go in as-is, and if that means that a sentence starts with a lowercase letter, that is how it is. This is based on user feedback to see their name correct.
5. New games added to your DNA will now respect the watchlist flag correctly.
6. Cleaned up the formatting of long game names in the panel so they wrap without breaking the layout.
7. AKAs are now set to Public by default instead of friend’s only to encourage sharing.

Guild Hosting Enhancements/Changes

1. New Warhammer guild theme, Spoils of War – Destruction!
2. An image transition switcher has been added to the guild hosting creation page.
3. Fixed the More smiley button on the guild WYSIWYG pages.
4. For guild sites, the nav will now highlight properly when you are on an active section.
5. Disabled the bartle pie chart/flash component until the new one is ready running off the new data.

General Site Enhancements/Changes

1. The homepage now displays information about the Bartle quiz with an action button to get started.
2. All PlayerVox articles have been republished to the company blog for their new home. PlayerVox was an old GuildCafe online publication. You can find most of them in the category: Gaming Industry
3. Added an icon for Braid. If you aren’t playing it, you should be!
4. Proper paging added to the Message of the Day in the header so that it helps with site performance.
5. The footer for the site has been rebuild to properly display in all cases.
6. Repaired a small bug in the nav that prevented game lists from loading in the DNA panel.
7. Fixed an issue where the footer was covering up the comment section for images.
8. Removed Tags from the blog feed on the homepage so the display is cleaner.
9. Turned some headers into links on the alliance homepage.
10. Cleaned up some formatting of the quiz results page.
11. Fixed some grammar in the XFire auto-blog entries.
12. Fixed some formatting issues on the image pages.
13. Fixed a missing icon in the activity feed.
14. Repaired the icon for Lila Dreams.
15. Corrected the CSS to repair spacing issues in the forum thread view.
16. Fixed a typo in the FPS quiz (Question 16)

That’s it for now! We will be doing a separate post later with more information on the changes surrounding OpenID.
