Review in progress... post #161
First I would like to apologize for the extended downtime. We ran into a few different issues during the migration that we did not expect and did not encounter during our prior testing. We had to disable infinite scroll and thread auto-close, both of these will be fixed in the next few days and re-enabled. Other features are still on our to-do list which have not yet been created for this new site.
- Import feedback
- Forum Icons
- Contact Icons (might not come back)
- Reverse IP lookup for Pro Sellers
- Raffle system
- Award system
Our priory during the first 30-60 days will be to fix reported bugs and to optimize the site for speed, so those listed features not be added until further down the road.
I hope you guys like the new design, not only is it completely mobile ready, but it's full featured meaning all systems and features are available on the mobile site. We have a few color schemes available and you can switch between them by clicking the top right button in the navigation.
If you see the green, verify phone number box at the top, you have to verify your phone number. We changed phone systems a few times on the old site and we allowed old members to bypass the newer phone system. However that old phone system data was completely removed and not migrated. So if you see a green box, you have to verify a phone number or you'll have limited permissions.
Features
----------------------
Most of the features are the same as the previous website, although many were improved. For example the 'Image upload' feature now uploads to our new CDN; no quality lose and no image resizing.
You'll also notice a new "IP Hash" this will display the users IP address as a hash to protect their real IP address, but it'll allow members to see if someone's IP is the same as another member. We also have many new security features enabled to help us catch and block scammers that constantly remake accounts, however we will not be releasing any information about these systems.
Social media login is available as before, but it is in addition to your normal login, it will no longer become your primary login. This allows members to link and unlink Facebook, Twitter and Google accounts to their profiles and will allow them to login using either their normal Epicnpc login or social login.
Sticky Threads & Banner Ads
-----------------------------------------------
We were down longer than expected and will be sending out partial refunds to anyone who had a sticky or banner ads during the downtime for the 7 days we were down. This will be done in the next 10 days. Some might get their refunds tomorrow, others might not get them until Friday or next week.
If you did not receive a partial refund by Nov 22, please contact me directly and I'll take a look.
Bug Reports
-------------------------
This site is very much a beta so I'm sure you'll be finding many bugs during the first week or two. We'll do our best to fix these bugs as soon as they're reported.
If you find a bug please post in the follow manner:
- URL where the bug occurred
- Full error message you received
- Screenshot if possible
Currently working on (in progress)
-------------------------------------------
1) Phone verification not working (fixed)
2) Payment issues. (should be fixed, rare errors, hard to test)
3) Store items, threads items (fixed)
4) Usergroup Permission problems (mostly fixed)
