No twitter integration for the login, Sheldon?

I can add it. Give me just a bit. Generally don't get a lot registered that way, but hey, I don't mind getting on it.


---- Should be turned on now.

 

[Sheldon]

Site keeps going offline for me. Can't access it again.

I've been on nonstop. Strange. I'll see what's up with it.

 

[MattW]

Had it a few times now this evening.

Cheers Sheldon, I'll have to register when I get on the PC tomorrow though. I keep getting an error from my mobile.

If you'd like, I can add your name and password. You can change at a later time. Just PM me if you'd like. I synced my account with Twitter a bit ago, so it was working on Chrome. I haven't checked on my mobile.

You have a lot of talent Sheldon. I did get a few database errors through the day but other than that, I like the simplicity of the forums and the work done to the design.

Thanks, appreciate that.

The main goal has been to keep it light and simple, all while still providing depth if that is what you are looking for. As for the errors, not sure. I do play around on a live site a bit much... likely too much... haha. If they arise again, if you catch it let me know, I will definitely look into it.

Was on my phone. Will get you the error next time. Should show up in the error log though on admin.php I would think.

I checked when I first read your post. Didn't have anything. It might be a shoutbox issue. I have seen that error before myself, and not figured out exactly what it is...

I'm pretty sure I've had an account on like all of your sites, and I'll continue to do so. You got a great mind on you, brother.

Thanks!

Really appreciate the compliment. Glad you've enjoyed XFU for the amount of time you've been there.

A couple updates....

Media Gallery up and running, bottom styled to match the rest of the site:





We've turned on images in profile, removed them from the member_card and profile page top, for obvious reasons:



Currently looking for community feedback on certain add-ons that were removed from here, in order to contact developers to start some kind of development to replace them. We know it is a monumental task, but we look forward to the input and ideas on what are the most highly sought after, most needed, etc.. and look to start getting projects in place to get them done.

Our "Reviews" area is still rolling along, it's surprising the amount that people can say with more options given.

Up next, an overhaul on our postbit, some FAQ's on customization for @Snog 's tmdbTV and tmdbMovie Thread Starters.

If you have any subjects you'd like us to discuss, feel free to post it up.

As always, look forward to some feedback and critique on what can and will make the community better.

 

[Sheldon]

The FAQ's are filling up.




The activity is increasing daily, everything seems to be falling into place.

The reviews area is finally coming into its own:


And now, with the addition of Pushover/Pushbullet, developers that take over their personal "Reviews" will get instant alerts if a reply/rating/etc is made.

We've started adding different add-ons to start testing and posting some things with, such as @Snog 's TV Thread add-on:


We have already posted how to replace the "STARS" with images, more will certainly come from this.

The community is active, engaging, and really enjoyable.

Looking forward to everyone's critiques, ideas and suggestions.

This a great site. Nice friendly atmosphere and the place to go for customizations you won't find anywhere else.

 

[Sheldon]

After a brief discussion amongst the community, it was decided that we should offer site owners a quick, down and dirty review area for their own personal sites. Following along with the rest of our "Review" concept, we came up with this:



Nothing long or drawn out. If you get a chance to see a member's site, drop by and give it a quick rating. Every little bit will help owners in the long run.

You can view the areas here:

https://xfuniverse.com/reviews/category/xenforo-powered-sites.9/
https://xfuniverse.com/reviews/xfuniverse.109/

Any registered member can submit their own site. We hope this will become a place to get some quick bits of help with your sites.

Love hearing the ideas, keep them coming!

We've update our style to match the latest "Rogue" release by @Audentio Design and @Mike Creuzer ....

Offering Universe 1.2 and Universe 1.2 Fluid.

The mobile version is even better than I had hoped for, so kudos to the team for putting it all together:


XFU is getting more and more active. More registrations, FAQ's, reviews... we are all excited by the growth and reception we've received.

Still taking suggestions and ideas. Look forward to seeing you all there.

 

[ThemeHouse]

Looks fantastic, @Sheldon! Also, we have that weird issue on the alerts and inbox tabs on mobile fix, where it shows those links (recent posts and the like). Sorry about that.

XFUniverse I think is a great concept and the attention to detail is fantastic. Love it!

 

[Sheldon]

Added a few things today, since I have been snowed in with an additional 13" on top of the 12" we received on Monday. Anywho, enough about our little blizzard.

Added @wmtech Link Essentials, looks fantastic on the site, and hope to see our users trying it out and testing it.


In order to give some other activity to our users who are starting to hang out a bit more, we have installed @Bob 's StockTrader and Sportsbook mods, as well as added another of @Snog 's, this time, The Movie Thread Starter. Our off-topic area is just about finished now.



All of our node icons have changed now as well, as part of our update to Universe 1.2


Misc. Notes

• We recently announced the first winner of our HUGE contest, @Collapsible Myth took the prizes this go round. More will be coming in the future. Still currently offering XenReviews as an award as well.
  
• Have started our search for a "Bookie", details are in Mission Control Center.
• Fully support Pushover and PushBullet now.
• Our Marketplace went live yesterday.

Very appreciative of the feedback we are getting from the community. Glad to continually add and create other looks. We've really enjoyed helping others with their site so far, and look forward to continuing on that path.

Any suggestions, ideas, or critiques, feel free!

Inspiring stuff!

I've noticed though that guests don't seem to have access to view the Reviews tab for items in your Showcase (Reviews area). May be worth opening that up perhaps..
