New site now LIVE!

[Jason]

Hey ya big fucks!

Well, the new site is live.

We'll be doing some bug fixing over the coming days though of course, you'll no doubt witness a few oddities around the site. Many of them we are aware of, such as non-matching icons (we have quite a bit of icon work to do), or a script not yet fully working properly (if at all). We're also doing quite a bit of adjusting in the thread/posts page so nothing there is 100% arranged yet). We assure you we'll be taking care of all these things one by one... We're also working to bring you several new features around the site, some additional smilies (and removal of some), and we're even considering a silly store add-on where you post and earn WTF money to spend on silly forum items (or just bank it all and be the WTF PIMP of the month we don't care!) ;)

We're also working to bring you WTF.com merchandise for sale, as well as your very own *@wtf.com e-mail addresses. So stick with us, and tell a friend (to stay away! muahaha...)

Oh and keep in mind, we'll also be offering some sort of stretchable skin/style option in the future for those who can't help but surf the internet at 1600 resolution. ;) Crazy fucks!

[Taylor_Blade]

Jay-Bird,
I still dont know what you meant by "notes" but i'm entirely too tired to get back on IRC....please let me/us/teh whole intersystemcyberhighway know whats up with it.

[Jason]

SHOWER!!!!!!!1111oneoneone

[Jason]

Yeah, notes will be worked on tomorrow in addition to getting confessions and gallery back up to snuff...

We already have the notes ability, you can leave notes on users inside their profile (profiles can be found by clicking on a user's name in their posts).

...but tomorrow, we'll have an icon next to where you can rep people so if they have notes it will show you an icon and you can click to view more directly...

Okay, off to get a sandwich!

[HavokChylde]

See kids, Jason eats sandwiches.

If more of you ate sandwiches like Jason, you might grow up to be as elite as him.

[johnny kuntz]

Saw the new layout this morning, dutch time. But now it looks like the old layout.

[YUCK FOU!!!]

[I Hate The FCC]

I signed on and the site looks old again. What the hell happened?

[Bibas]

omgwtfbbq - that's all i have to say about the new layout...wonderful !!

[SouthWolf]

IT looks F-ing great dude. I give it a motivating Marine Corps OOH RAH!!!

(Some of you may know what that means others may not. DUH!)

[gurlgonewild]

blue hell made me wet!
suggestion: can you put a "latest rants" button in it (like in the red version)?
i like that button.

also, wtf are these things under our names now?! (stars, medals, diff colors, etc)

[SouthWolf]

Yes I agree I definately use that button a lot. So how about it? :confused:

[Easty]

yeah, the new site's pimp. that one lady was beginning to scare me.

[ChilianFuckFace]

Nice looking site... The top banner is hmm, original! :thumbsup:

[bigck3000]

ok.....so what does a grey star mean....as opposed to the red star?

[dustinzgirl]

but it looks the same to me?

[ChilianFuckFace]

but it looks the same to me?
Look all the way at the bottom of the page right around this:
All times are GMT -5. The time now is 11:04 AM.

You should see a drop down menu, choose your style. :thumbsup:

[vicodincasserole]

personally I like the original better so ill stick with that. I cant wait for the full screen mode though :thumbsup:

[Jason]

Prominent 'latest rants' button.. Yeah that was coming, I'm on it.

Not sure where to put it yet tho. ;)

[ChrisG]

Looking hot! :)

[gurlgonewild]

Prominent 'latest rants' button.. Yeah that was coming, I'm on it.

Not sure where to put it yet tho. ;)

i don't know if this is possible or something you may want but it may be cool if done right.
you could make the button "blend into the graphics" and it only comes out of the graphics if you move your mouse over a certain spot on the page...like a secret spot only the cool kids of wtf.com know about! know what i mean? ;)

lol

[gehtfuct]

I haven't seen my porn and popcorn forum yet.
I'm guessing that comes after we geht the plumming fixed?

Other than that,looks good,J.

[Captain 151]

Oh shit. I like blue hell. No wait, I lied. I love blue hell. You folks got a towel?

[Icarus]

I love it. Thanks Jason and everyone else who helped.

Two :thumbsup: s.

:thumbsup:!

[Captain 151]

Jason, in the blue hell version, members of SCUM who have the S badge doesn't appear below our posts. Just thought id let ya know. I need that badge to feel better about myself. you know.

[BRiT]

Badges (SCUM/Flame) are under the user's Name/Avatar/Rank... Next to the sex/sign/status icons.

[Captain 151]

I apologize for being so stupid and blind.

[BRiT]

I like the pixel-disolve transition effect for the dropdown menus. It works well in IE. Though I'm curious why FireFox doesn't render it.

Here's the effect for those who are curious what it looks like when transitioning from the Home menus to Forums menu.

[screwy]

What are those stars under my name?

[BRiT]

What are those stars under my name?

User rankings... We'll have a quick post about em in a bit...

I'm a Terran Feeder? Sweet!

What the fuck is that?

EDIT: Holy shit!

Terran is also a term used almost exclusively in the computer game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_game) series Freespace (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freespace) to mean a human.

Word. Wikipedia is now officially run by nerds :thumbsup:. Most underground series ever.

Why would they put that in, when they use it in 1000+ other games?

Is FreeSpace really more popular than I thought?

I must consult the highest source. The Great Queen Spider.

EDIT 2: Word. More gamers.

The Terrans (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terran_%28StarCraft%29) are humans, some with psionic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parapsychology) abilities, in the computer game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_game) Starcraft (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starcraft), as opposed to the Zerg and Protoss.

The Terran Confederation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terran_Confederation_%28Wing_Comm ander%29) is the human government in the Wing Commander (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_Commander_%28computer_game%2 9) series.

Oh god, that's funny. A dedicated page for their games but not the company?

That's like talking about Fox News' anchors without going into their EVIL management.

Here's the effect for those who are curious what it looks like when transitioning from the Home menus to Forums menu.
IE renders anything and everything so you will see the pixel transition. Firefox and the rest of them work on standards and most likely do not support whatever code causes the pixel transition.

I didn't write the menu script so I don't know which part of the code it is. :)

[gumercules]

just got back from spring break, it looks very purty!

[junglizm]

IE renders anything and everything
Except standards compliant code, and CSS 2.0. :)

I looked for it myself, and couldn't find anything.

[gurlgonewild]

are we going to have the same editing options in blue as red?

edit options
last box...
Message Editor InterfaceWhen posting messages to the forums or other members, there are three interface types available to you. The simplest of these is a simple text box, while the last is a fully-fledged WYSIWYG editor, which allows you to format your text as you want it and see the results immediately.

Depending upon the capabilities of your web browser, you may not be able to use all of these options. If you experience problems when posting messages, try switching to a different interface type.
Basic Editor - A simple text box Standard Editor - Extra formatting controls Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing Message Editor Interface: Enhanced Interface-full WYSIWYG editing <<<<< this doesn't seem to be working for me in blue??

[Jennifer]

Wow, I love the new skin. When was that changed?

The Radio is pretty cool too :cool:

[Jason]

Thanks Jennifer.. Good to see you back again, btw..

New site went live about 2 weeks ago or so...
