Testers for new site functionality needed!

[LightPhoenix]

I can confirm the birthday greeting is working on the new site; I got two e-mails from ENW today. Presumably one from this site and one from the test site.

Okay, a couple of observations.

Friends Newsfeed: Nifty little thing to see what your friends are doing, but I think it should not show whenever a friend makes a post in a thread. It will get clogged fast. Showing everything else is nice.

Profile pages: I notice you changed the Visitor Messages section to "Wall". Makes it a bit too "facebookish" in my opinion but it's alright. Haven't determined exactly what it does yet, but apparently it shows pretty much the same things as the Friends Newsfeed. Considering that, it was a good idea to change the name at least.

Also, in the nav bar on the top there is "News Feed" and "Friends Newsfeed". As far as I can tell, they link to the same page...

Or maybe make it a toggle that the user can select.

The newsfeed page shows everything your friends have done.

Your profile page only shows things that you have done.

It's deliberately facebook-ish in that respect.

Yeah, that'd work.

The newsfeed page shows everything your friends have done.

Your profile page only shows things that you have done.

It's deliberately facebook-ish in that respect.

Ah, ok that clears it up a bit. But you can still post a visitor message there too?

Apparently yeah, had to test

I've tried to check out the new site, but using both Chrome 4.0.249.43 and Firefox 3.5.7 under Ubuntu 9.10 I get the message:

The encoded file /backup/www/vb4dev/htdocs/forum/vbstyle/vbnewsfeed/vbnf_global_complete.php has expired.

Aside from a blank page with the error, no content loads.

 

[Morrus]

Yeah, the test files expired a few days ago.

 

[Pseudonym]

Yeah, the test files expired a few days ago.

Well, that would explain it then
