That's what I give the new version of RPOL! :)

*Woots around.* I agree!

 Woot around v.
   The act of spinning in circles while flailing arms and shouting 'Woot!'

counts currently active characters

Hmm...I seem to have eighteen characters active right now, so if they all give their thumbs up (and they do!), that's thirty-six thumbs up.  (None of my characters have more than the usual allotment of hands.)

And my own somewhat less imaginary ones, too, for thirty-eight thumbs up!

Great, but it seems so tiny on my high res monitor and I want my games on the right.

Oh well, at least the forums are seperated from my games.

Fo' sho'!

Everything seems to have gone smoothly as far as I can tell... it's just... every time I reload the front page it skips automatically to the bottom... Ah, well!

Double-woot!  My game count is now up to 5.  :D

This takes some getting used to. At first I didn't like it, but now I realize that having the forums separated from the games, instead of lumped in the middle, is good. In a way I wish we still had category breaks, though.

I like having the search thing down there. I haven't used it yet, but, is it still possible to get the old category lists and browse them like we used to?

In reply to SageBahamut (msg #7):

it is opossible, leave the search area blank and just pick a area to search

I like this version ^.^

Big hug to everyone!

Everytime there is a change, I wonder how I could live without it before :)

The new layout of the main page is probably half as big as before (in d/l size). That will save me some money when updating on my cellphone, but more importantly, probably will lower the time and bandwidth to create it for RPOL since it is the most downloaded page.

Very very good, Jase. ((Takes of my imaginary hat and bows))

Just do a Search and select up to three categories. You don't even have to enter anything in the text field.

Meh. I think it's a bit of an improvement, but I'm not ecstatic. If you fellows like it, that's good enough for me; but I won't be jumping for joy until I grow to like it.

It's certainly more practical :)

I'm glad the games are in one place :)

Nice

I'd say the new layout is an improvement, I rather like how its turned out.

And it sure seems faster...
Woohoo!

Would it be possible to get the page back (not on the main but some way to get to it) where you can browse the genres and all the games in each genre? I love how the main menu groups all my games together, but I did quite frequently use the game browser feature to see what new games were up in each category.

Also I'm not sure search is working right. I did a search for "deadlands" and came up with nothing even though there's a lot of deadlands games on the site. I had checked active, inactive, deleted, and unchecked "looking for players" and it came up with zip, nada, nothing.

The search worked fine for me. I even searched Deadlands and I got several results. Just make sure you don't click any of the genre buttons and you can search for a game with a specific game name.

And it is possible to just search a genre. All you need to do is click the genre and push the search button and the games will come up. To look at all the games you just need to keep pressing the "Next 25" button at the bottom of the list.

I quite like the new version, I have only one complaint. On the search menu, when searching for games which have more than 25 possible matches, the "Next 25" button at the bottom of the screen is hard to see, and in the Black colour set-up that I employ it blends into the background. I had to search around for it for a while before I noticed it.

Ah, I have a wee suggestion, if possible.

While searching for games, I note that the search results only show up 25 to a page.  Would it be possible to have a drop down box with differing numbers of results?  25, 50, 75 and 100?  Or whatever might be appropriate?

And if this feature exists and I simply missed it, kindly hand me back my spectacles and point it out?  :P

25 is a good compromise between displaying as many as possible and throwing too much work on the server at one time.

Edited, because I can't count...
