Things and more things...

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

Right! Hello!

Firstly, Points are due by 5pm BST (UTC+1) Saturday 1st of August.

This does mean that this weeks top sorted and such are fore *next* months, as the week ends on Sunday about here.

---

Also, I want you guys to start thinking if you'll be reapplying for your official positions as the applications will be going up somewhere about the beginning of the second week in August.

---

ALSO ALSO. The System! Well, more Diagon @ The System. I've updated things. I've redone the owned items page. Go see it.

I've also added custom messages, give me a while and we'll see about getting your old custom messages and names for your older animals up there. ALSO, animal names are optional, if you delete 'Name' and leave it blank then there won't be a name.

And again, missing items are coming, there are still more coming in.

Oh, and for those who like interesting bits, try using ?username=[yourusername]&shop=[shop name you'd like to view] onto the end of the owned items url if you jut want to view things from one shop :) it's just a shortcut for, well, club leaders? People on slow connections? Who knows, it was a minutes work to implement, so...

---

Also, *coughs* on an unrelated note, I need some volunteers for boring works for points. I'm more interested in accuracy than speed for this one. I really want one person, maybe two for this, email me, my email's on the userinfo. :)

Questions? Comments?

Oh, phew. Can you believe that I didn't know when August first was? And here i was, worried that i wouldn't be able to get my points in on time.

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

lol, yeah, there's plenty of time this month...

[erzsebet.livejournal.com]

I noticed the owned items page earlier and I loved the changes! :]

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

Aw, ty! As long as you didn't get caught when I was changing it! it was dodgy for about an hour earlier :S

[erzsebet.livejournal.com]

No, it looks the same now as it did then, so I'm pretty sure I saw it when everything was all good!

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

Phew, I hate having to change things live, but I pretty much haven't got a local version, so all changes go straight in. Terrible practice, but ah well! It's like living life on the wild side...in a very geeky way.

I hate to be a bother and keep asking this, but are we able to destroy items in our vaults yet?!

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

After talks with the diagon mod, I don't think we're going to allow this. You'll have to ask the diagon mod to delete things. Sorry!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_shaomao_/]

BAH!! I asked to have my Gryffindor Robes destroyed a while back so hopefully it happens! :) Thanks!!!

[moony-blues.livejournal.com]

As soon as I get that functionality, it'll be taken care of. :)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_shaomao_/]

woop woop! thanks!

[caketime.livejournal.com]

The changes are awesome, good going Sas. :)

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

Hee, ty! :D

[rhye.livejournal.com]

AWESOME.

1. Anyway we could retroactively name already owned pets? Ours don't die for a while and haven't got names.

2. Layout stuff. I'm going to be making four matching ones, one for each house, based on the loverly headers of graveofdreams. I know the System knows who I am and pulls a different css file for me based on my username. Presumably that database-querying action could do the same thing for house and automagically show people their house layout, if they opt-in?

God, I love code. I think of about a million nifty things the system could do every day now. But I'm also glad I'm not coding them, and live? SCARY.

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

#1 Yeppers, I mentioned it above :)

#2 It *could* but I thought we'd just give people a choice, like, a drop down box in the corner, or skinning page?? idk, we could *ask* people I suppose, lol. Essentially we can do pretty much anything, which will be evidenced by the things I'm about to implement...


muahahaha.

[slyfoxesq.livejournal.com]

Ooh, nice! I like. :) I need to work on my css; I started a header then got distracted. I'll whip it up soon, promise! ♥

[slyfoxesq.livejournal.com]

Just to let you know, I'm almost done with my css skin, I think. I have some tweaking to do and I have to recolour the activity viewer stuff, but other that that, I'm getting there. :O

Will we be able to have a beta phase for these so people can tell us if they have viewing issues on other browsers and such?

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

I was pretty much going to release them to the big wide world of hih, which is a massive beta phase :)

I'll let them have drop downs that they can pick from including the current one, so, there shouldn't be any problems...

[heartzablaze.livejournal.com]

GAH!!! I've been totally meaning to email you to see when the end of the month points were gonna be due.. Thanks!

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

Heee, np!

[hygher.livejournal.com]

Owned item pages look awesome.

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[pickle-breath.livejournal.com]

are you messing with the system again? cause this is a screencap of what my owned items looks like as of 8:49 am EST. It was looking fine and dandy yesterday!



:(

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

I was, I was adding something fun :) Should be fixed now?

[pickle-breath.livejournal.com]

yep, it's all better! :)

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

What do you think of the new bit?

[pickle-breath.livejournal.com]

I saw the new organizationamabob yesterday, it's very cool and easier to see everything than in giant wall-o-text :)

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

lol, there's something new and cooler now. It notes which club items you own, if you've got a complete set :)

[pickle-breath.livejournal.com]

ooh, see I don't have a full set so I didn't see that :)

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

Ah right, yes, that'd be why :)
