Site Format Updates

Author: BigBoss  //  Category: News

I have made some site format changes to help accomodate a couple requests I have had from you users. The first request was to try to make the page a bit faster to load. So I am now only showing a few excerpts from the article with a “continue reading” link so that you don’t have to load every image from every post on the main page.

The second request was that with the app authors being able to write their own posts, it was no longer easy to find my posts, and that is what many users said they came here to read. So I have created a link at the top of the posts that will allow you to view only my posts. I have also put the author’s name in RED so that it stands out on each post.

I really want to allow developers hosting in the BigBoss Repository to be able to annouce their own apps to everybody here. That way developers can get some feedback from the users. I know that it has helped me a lot in my own apps to have comments.

    Can we get an RSS feed to go with the new BigBoss only page?

  2. BigBoss Says:

    I’ll see if I can figure that out :)

  3. Rey Says:

    I don’t know if it’s just me but every time I load the page it hangs near the end before finishing. I think it’s loading some sort of javascript. That is really what makes the site load slow.

    Also if not an RSS feed, how about an iPhone optimized page :)

    Off topic, but is there a reason that 2.1 is still the recommended firmware?

    Thanks

  5. Pelaez Says:

    From my experience, the baseband on 2.1 was better, better reception and almost never failed.

    meh…

  6. BigBoss Says:

    I forgot about that. Thanks.

    Still no RSS for the “Newest Releases” you have on the right column?

    Like the new format – great idea defaulting to everything but one click to see just your stuff – I hadn’t thought of anything so elegant!
    But when we click to see just your stuff the link remains to just yours. It would be better still if it was a toggle back.
    I wonder if you’re clever enough to do a BigBoss Toggle….

    ;)

    Thanks for listening – it does make it easier :)

    Hmmm. I also remember that comment. But not a option for 3G non-AT&T users. Ugg

  10. Mes Says:

    How about a ‘toggle” :) back to ALL authors?

  11. BigBoss Says:

    Done

  12. iblackdude Says:

    iPhone optimized page. Pleassssssse

  13. confucious Says:

    I like the new format – one minor bug – the ‘Recent Comments’ section at the top is showing to many – the last one is actually overtyping the ‘Recent Comments’ – I though it might be just Chrome but it does it in FF as well.

    Thanks for the Toggle back to all posts BTW.

  14. BigBoss Says:

    That’s because it shows 4 and the title of the post where the comments are are too long for the box so it wraps causing it to use more lines.
