What changes were made during the downtime?

[James]

Forgive me for sounding very unobservant but I notice no visual changes so I presume all changes were performance/efficiency changes.

Anyone know what was updated during the change?

 

[Ryan]

Kier said "major back-end changes" and nothing else...I assume this means nothing we see.

 

[James]

WOOPS.

*note to self: don't skim-read announcements*

Sorry

 

[Peggy]

I'd still want to know. It's a legitimate question.

New versions of CSS and JS.

This tells me "Styles and user enhancements were updated".

 

[Dean]

Avatars look like a greater contrast? Especially when viewing a list of threads in a forum?

I would very much like to know.

Darn, i thought i had seen the last of those horrendous green unread indicators. Ahh well, a guy can dream can't he.

It's nothing you can see - we just changed a (huge) bunch of variable names from an old format we were using several months ago to the standards we are now employing.

Even better than a design change or an added feature. Nothing beats having a coding standard

Principles + Philosophies + Coding Standards = success

Haha, not yet - but they will die eventually, I assure you

well they are turning blue...

 

[Kier]

Actually, I'm confused. Which green indicators? The ones on posts (orange), or the ones on the thread list (blue)?

The thread list/search results, next to the title. Which one were you talking about?

 

[Kier]

I was talking about the ones on posts, which are nasty.

The (blue) ones on the thread list have grown on me, I don't see a compelling reason to change them now.

 

[Dean]

I see no green anywhere...

Agreed both comments.

I think you could probably find a doctor to have them removed. If they keep growing it could prove to be prohibitive.
