New Chat, Site Improvements, New Staff, Old Staff Returning, & Sonic Smash Brothers

[Stritix]

As most of you are aware, the Skype chat has been closed, but not without reason. We have a new, much better chat which is on-site and connected to the forums userbase. The new chat is located here. The URL will likely change. I'm still working on it, but you can join us by clicking that link for the time being. Another announcement will be made once the chat is finished. It's work in progress.

 

Numerous site improvements have been made. The main site's search functionality has been improved, the main site's link colour has been changed to stand out more, and there's some general CSS clean up. A new header image has been created for the Sonic United White theme, which is in the style of how it looked when the site first opened, done in celebration of the site's 2 year anniversary. The regular Sonic font header will likely be put back up in the future.

 

P3DR0 has also joined the moderating team. He was staff during Act 1 of SAGE this year and helped out a lot, he also contributes well to the community and will make a great addition to the moderating team. ila chose to take a break from the site a few weeks ago, but has decided it's time to rejoin the staff. We're glad to have them both on board.

 

Thanks for reading! More updates will be posted in the near future.

[Riseodvi]

Chat 404'd me... 

 

As for the returning Admins, it's always good to have a few more overseers, so that's good.

 

And is P3DRO pronounced "Pedro" of "Pay-three-dro"?

 

EDIT: Chat works now, cool beans.

ila, welcome back. <3

So we have a forum arcade now? This brings back memories from the old IPB 2.0 ***** Boards days...

Good to see we're keeping Cometchat, I think it's the most solid choice.

[Stritix]

Try now Riseodvi.

[MykonosFan]

Oh man that banner takes me back. I just looked at my reg date, December 2012. There is no way it's been that long. No way. Goodness gracious time flies.

 

Pumped for P3DR0 to jump on and ila to jump back on.

What happened to the messaging system on the sidebar? 

[Abominal Taz]

What happened to the messaging system on the sidebar? 

 

I thought that was just happening to me. Yeah, I can't see either of them.

[DarkVampireDee]

I notice it this morning. Even the chat box thing at the bottom isn't there either...

[Rawr]

I thought that was just happening to me. Yeah, I can't see either of them.

 

You aren't alone!! I thought it might have just been me as well haha.

Not sure where they went.

[AnOrdinarySonicFan]

You aren't alone!! I thought it might have just been me as well haha.

Not sure where they went.

 

Possibly the Admins are setting up a new messaging system of some kind, or checking to see if there is anything wrong with it.

 

Your guess is as good as mine.

[Abominal Taz]

Hopefully, improvements are happening. I was just about to switch browsers and I really don't feel like using google crumb.

[GSF]

I didn't do anything.

This seems to be a template edit... but not mine.

[OverbounD]

It's just Admin tweaking and testing stuff.

[Stritix]

Just did a few updates~

[Abominal Taz]

Everything's back to normal now. Nice update.
