So... for some of you, you will be seeing the new site. Others, your DNS may still not have updated - press Ctrl + F5 now

A lot of things have changed and it will take some getting used to so dont be too alarmed if things aren't immediately apparent as to how they work. Feel free to post below any critique, comments, ideas, etc but please be constructive - I have a dim view to people who just QQ that its not the same as the old site.

One of the biggest changes is the sticker system. This is a system designed by Xstyle to replace the awards system. When you earn a sticker you can place it in an area within your profile so it shows under your avatar, watch this video for more info:



There are more features on the way but Im way too impatient to keep what we have so far under wraps. Have fun guys and feel free to ask below if you have any queries or questions.

This is the beginning of a series of awesome updates... Stay tuned

[Fasckira]

Also, in advance - Chrome has major issues with this site. We advise using Firefox or Internet Explorer while we investigate

[FrozenStar]

I like how the topic is tagged "x is awesome". I agree But you F are just as awesome <3

[Amres]

Just one thing I probably have to say so far.

I believe it's unessential to have the number of the active chat users at the bottom of the index page and on the navigation bar.

Oh and the "Top" feature; the index page really isn't that big.

WOW.

The new layout is AWESOME!

Will take some time to get used to it though...

LOVE the stickers idea!

[gRiM]

For me it's all about patience now Getting used to the site, waiting for chrome fixes and receiving the stickers I deserve...

[Watcher]

Google is failing on me nooo so slow lol But it's ok to X and F

[PorscheSpyder]

Really liking it. No problems viewing the site on my iPad. Only issue is not being able to move the stickers. Guess it's an issue with the iPad's touchscreen. it works on my computer, so it doesn't matter.

Oh and a suggestion for the future: whenever we get tired of the Mustang at the top of the page, replace it with a Porsche Carrera GT.

Should be able to but you wont see the animation in areas like the chat or on post preview.

On any page, click on your name top right of the screen and theres the update box.

Yeah sure thing!

[Pollux]

one thing about the stickers, if someone has a unknown sticker, you can't hover it to see what it is.
(we wanna show of with our stickers )

kinda like elementary school, if you did well, you got a sticker

AWESOME!!!
For a second, i was surprised and wondering just like before..remember the older layout applied during World's 1st anniversary?
But on that day, i guess i was the 1st one to see that layout, the Home Page link changed everything!
Just saying, to few, the "Vote this Post Up button" will seem to be "Go to Top" button and they may click it assuming the same. I thought it was Go to top, but the tooltip said me everything

EDIT:
I could see the GIF animation only in Photo Editor, when we go in Change Photo.
WOW! Just discovered we can copy-paste images directly, but images only from web i guess!!
And Fasc, can we have more number of status updates on the home page?
The center align function doesn't work...also, adding spaces didn't work.

Thanks

WG, WE ROCK!!!

It's great, but there's now a bug report that I'd like to make: Smilies and shortening links no longer work in chat.

[ĸeval]

I saw the video and it told me lot's of secret stuff!!
When i visited the WG Beta site, it told me this:

You probably shouldn't be looking at this site right now.... sneaky. Dont you know its bad luck to see the bride before the wedding?

...got to know 5 of 'em...can someone reveal the other 5 lucky lucky people?

Spoiler

Few more things that i found:
I guess, before, we had 2 different pic's for a user - Profile Picture and Avatar, and the avatar(animated ones) was visible only in a Topic's page and at rest places we could see the Profile Pic. Now we have 1 only and it's the Avatar pic. So is the problem of no animation of GIF's related to it?

We are landed on the 1st post of the topic, whereas we must be landed on the New Post entry since our last visit in that topic.
