Hey guys,

Just a few tweaks to let you all know about:

Challenge Calender Updates
  • Fixed Leader errors (from power transfers)
  • Removed defunct/inactive groups
  • Added new groups

Gothic Wars Site and Services Discussion
Link
  • Website Discussion
  • Suggestion Forums

Troubleshooting and Help
Link
  • Community Assistance
  • Website Guides

Quick Navigation
You may have noticed a small green arrow near the top, under the "Search" link. Click this to expand a sidebar with quick navigation links to all the Faction Social forums.

I eventually hope to lightbox this, or attach it as an application to the chatbar. However, for now the slide-bar works well enough to cover the immediate future (as both other methods require a ton of learning, research and time).

Faction Awards
It seems that there is a problem with the Award system right now that XOs and Leaders cannot grant awards. Some awards also will not "click through" properly, displaying a different award (or null) to what you were expecting. The mouse over still works and therefore you can still find out what an award is.

These problems are all related but it will take some time to find and correct it because it will most likely have to be Apulo doing it (since he wrote that code) and he is busy at work for the forseeable future.

If you wish to grant an award as a Leader, please revert to the previous system of putting in a ticket if it throws an error at you.

Transformer Factions
These were removed as the majority of their members, including the Leaders, folded into other factions when those factions expanded to this game.

Sci-Fi and Anime Sections
Sci-Fi Link
Anime Link
These are examples of the Suggestion area being utilized; enjoy your "spoils of war"

EVE and DUST 514
Link
A forum section to help drive interest, the combination of these two MMOs makes for ground-breaking levels of gameplay, organization and cooperation. NJSniper has been made the Local Mod for that area, head on over to learn more.

Tabbed Index
As promised, I have Tabbed the index page of the site, this allows much faster navigation.

Faction Consolidation
The Introduction Forum is no more, now all Introduction forums are under their owing chapters forum. Now you can find the Introduction, Social and Private forums all in one place - the quick navigation pane will happily take you to this single location. This will make the site easier to navigate for everyone, and less confusing for new members.

I have a problem with the quick navigation bar. On anything like a laptop or IPad I have the green arrow to close it, however on IPod it's not there, it might be covered by advertisement but I can't be sure.

The sidebar doesn't seem closable on my Samsung galaxy note either. It isn't a problem, but something to be aware of.

Yeah, I can live with the bar if necessar, but maybe change it to have the arrow or a +/- symbol on the actual bar instead, or maybe an option to activate or deactivate it in the UserCP.

To be just, our law must be cruel.

To stand upon the bedrock of law is our great duty. To presume to stand above it is our worst heresy.

We determine the guilty. We decide the punishment.

Thanks for letting me know, it might be incompatible with webkit browsers, unfortunate but the feature doesn't cripple the use of the site. In fact on a phone it's probably very useful. I'll look into it sometime

That's not possible, not unless we change the system we use for Themes. We'll be discussing that in the future anyway, I'll make a note of this issue.
