Some changes #2

Rook · June 14, 2014

Hey everyone!

Yesterday, I turned the community offline as we were getting major changes as you can see now that the community is online. I will just walk you through the new stuff

First of all is that we changed the theme. We previously had Villain, a darker theme, and now we will be using Pulse. When they sent me the zip archive for pulse, there was a lot of customizations that you were able to do like changing colors, editing the maintitles, header colors etc. I would like to hear some suggestions about customizing this theme.

Next is that we now have IP.Chat.
With IP.Chat, you can Live Chat with any member that joins the chat room. We also did not remove the shoutbox because IP.Chat has an annoying limit so that's why we have both.

I have also integrated Google Custom Search on the search button. I personally didn't like the default IPS search and that is why Google CSE is the default one. You can switch it anytime by Clicking the "Google" text button and selecting "Forums" or whatever you are trying to search. http://i.imgur.com/o1jSyj5.png

And the biggest change is that there is no need to post a comment to unhide the hidden content anymore. We have added a Thanks button that reveals the hidden content when pressed. The thanks button is located under the first post of the topic or under the users signature if he/she has one. http://i.imgur.com/IMC4dbP.png
We have not removed the reputation system either, we have just changed it a bit but it's still there to like a post as the thanks button is only available to the first post of each topic. Commenting to unhide the link still works too.

That's it for now!

Have a nice time! :thumbsup:
