So far so good. When do we get our secret decoder rings?

I like it so far. The look is a bit of a change but I'm sure everyone will get used to it.

Thanks to you and the team for all your hard work. Well done!

If you're having trouble logging in or accessing the new site, clear all of your cookies, browser cache and temp internet files and try again.

One minor issue, the forums no longer remember the last comment viewed in a thread and ya have to scroll down through them.

Ok, I am a big dum dummy.  I am getting the homepage now.

I will get used to it....heh.

I really don't like how small eveything is. I never understood wesites that only use a third of the screen. The coment box is way too tiny, spread it out guys like it was before. I don't even have a wide screen monitor and it's this thin little strip of tiny text down my screen. Give us middle aged guys holding off reading glasses as long as possible a break.

I had reason to embed a youtube in a response the other day, and on the editor toolbar there was a little "html" button that allowed me to do so. I subsequently broke the internet

Ok, not the internet, but it seriously disturbed the formatting of all the replies which followed, so maybe this feature has been temporarily removed until it's tweaked.

To Draginol,

Thanks for all this - you didn't have to. This update shows a LOT of hard work on the part of your team, and I for one appreciate it. That in mind, could you and your folks point us at a "bug report" thread when responding to various "concerns" in some of the various "New JU" commentary threads that have popped up? It would be more useful for you guys for us to put all of our "concerns" in the proper forum

Thanks again,
One JU

Great job, JU! 

The site looks and feels a whole lot better.  Some aspects remind me of blogger.com, others aspects remind me of other blog sites like yahoo 360 or multiply.com

In any event, it seems easy to use and the features are more user friendly, it seems to me.

 

Be well.

 

Maybe it's my connection, but JU still seems to go a lot slower than some of the other Stardock sites.

I compared the forums on GalCivII and WinCustomize and neither seems to take the time it takes to load a page here.  It's been pretty freakin' slow for me lately.

As I said, it might be my connection, but I can definitely see the speed difference on GalCiv - it's a lot quicker, but JU seems to still be a titch sluggish.

Is it a particular page?  Are you logged in?  Logged out?  What are you seeing in the status bar at the bottom of your browser as the page loads?

If the WC and GC2 forums are loading fast, and this slow, it's a problem with this site.  Since it's brand new, we're going to be doing a lot of speed tweaking as we get more people on the site.

Logged in on all three sites. It seems to be the main JU pages that are loading the slowest - the new JU forums are still snappy, but it can take 2-3 minutes to load an article on someone's blog. On the status bar (using FF) it says "waiting for little-whip.joeuser.com" (for example, the one that took over 3 minutes) and the status bar doesn't move, and then suddenly the whole thing will pop up.

Hope that helps.

I like.

ZubaZ goes to see if he can add a blog to my blogroll from a blog or if he has to go to his dashboard thing-y

If you accidentally click on Blacklist, you'll get a pop-up asking to confirm the action, so you won't be blacklisting people unless you really mean to.

As for the "newest" page.  That's coming back, it just wasn't something we could get in for launch.
