    Wow! These are great changes!
    I like how changes.php will show all the changes, so I don't have to save the page and remove the marquee tag.
    The chat seems broken right now, but I'm sure it can be fixed.
    I'm still looking through the new profile section, but I think all the changes might need some documentation.

    are you still working on the Bod homepage? it just shows up as 9 rows of recent changed on my pc so i have to click on a profile to navigate.
    Sz
    ooops! the chat AGAIN! it will be fixed, of course

    spencer: it seems that your browser still uses the old, frame-based version of the page (or at least some part of it, which does not work correctly with the new part).
    try clicking "reload" while holding the shift key (or the control key - i can't recall which one was doing the magic trick )

    I love the new changes to the web site SZ. It all seems to work great.

    It is cool to go back and read the PMs that I actually sent back in the day. I also really like the changes to the profile page. My favorite one is best rank ever (when and for how long). It is a lot easier to look at Mike Flips profile without 100 medals on there--just the summary.

    YAY i suggest best rank ever but could we maybe do that for levels too that would be cool

    -> "My favorite one is best rank ever (when and for how long)."

    Did I miss this feature?

    Anyway, I will post my thoughts on this new site tomorrow.

    You did miss it, but only because it is only visible when viewing your own profile. It would be cool to see for everyone.

    No, I think I figured it out.
    It doesn't show it for Me or Mike Flips since we are currently at our highest-ever rank.

    Good catch on that one. I only looked at Mike Flips so I didn't catch that detail.

    I think the best rank ever should show up even for those that are at their highest level. Otherwise, how do we know how long you have been there? Also, it might be confusing for those who don't know it works that way. Just my 2 cents.

    Oh, and I love the changes. I like the information about when they last submitted etc. It beats having to make an extra click to see what games they have submitted.

    I'm not sure I fully understand how the new Freestyle works, but I have a feeling it's going to be cool. All the changes are going to be very nice. Good job SZ!

    Wow! The first time I visited it showed a very cool but not very useful fading nine rows of recent chnages too. It refreshed to the new website though.
    PiNerd
    What I would really like now is to be able to make all of my games apart from some I speifically select to be made public. Can we have a feature for this please Sz? Also, it would be nice to be able to download our results na recordings because when I got my Treo I lost a ot of my results on standard levels.
    Sz
    the chat is fixed again
    i also made some quick changes suggested in your comments.

    PiNerd: well... it seems reasonable so perhaps i will do it
    (and i was just about to say that the new game list filter allows you to find and manage your public/secret recordings more easily but something is still wrong there )
    Mr.pickle.
    sweet awsome and sweeet.

    I was having problems with my ticker being blurry. Sz recommended that I disable ClearType (in Display Properties - Appearance - Advanced). It worked! Thx, Sz.
    Mr.pickle.
    hey sz could you make a way to make individuoals (srry cant spell)profile veiw the entire site differently?wat I mean by this is to view it the old way,the new way looks WAY better!but on my computer it takes forever to load every new page because the grafics are so cool now.
    so if there was some way to save the settings to my personal account it would be great

    Sir gherkin.
    If you want to see the site at a rapid rate, without graphics, I recommend using something like http://www.skweezer.com/
    Or, I'm thinking the RSS of the forum (little orange image in the top right) must be a good way to keep up with the chat too.

    Love the new website - fantastic

    As I type, I notice no cancel button on the message box now though
    Sz
    update:
  • the ticker no longer fails with clertype enabled in IE6
  • i noticed that the new ticker steals a lot of performance for the sole reason of being "fixed" at the bottom of the screen (even in the "hidden" state). this is noticeable on slow computers. perhaps this is what happens to you, mr.pickle? (because it is very unlikely that the slightly increased amount of graphics could affect the performance, it is all cached). so i changed it and now the hidden ticker sits at the bottom of the page. i hope this helps
    as for the reduced graphics, i'd like to make the mobile friendly version of the page (especially for treo ) but for now my priority is releasing BoD 2 AT LAST
