Links and stars

[Jaspaller]

Double Whammy.

The stars in the PSO database of item descriptions don't appear anymore
http://www.pso-world.com/items.php?o...ticle&artid=25
http://www.pso-world.com/items.php?o...icle&artid=151

Second question is for the PSO side of the forums. PSU items is at the top for all forums. Any way that could be changed to lead to PSO's database when you head into PSO Gen/mag/EP3?

The PSU database is worthless to me since I really don't play it anymore and it's definitely a lot handier to go straight to the PSO database instead of the front page again.

I'm not demanding something be done about these things but it would definitely be nice.

I completely agree with this. >_> PSU database is absolutely worthless to me and it's rather annoying to have to go to the forum index/main page then scroll down the sidebar until I get to the PSO item database when I need to look something up.

Perhaps PSO and PSU styles, with the PSO style having the old-fashioned new topic and post reply buttons as well? (I hate the pete button, it makes the buttons not align neatly with the rest of the forum like they used to. It's also more lulz get witf psu beating over the head)

Or replace the 'forum index' link in the top bar with PSO Items since the forum index link is utterly redundant on every page it appears on, since it only appears in the forums, which all have a forum index link at the top of the topic list/posts. >_>;

I know PSU is the new thing, but sometimes it really feels like in the interest of PSU, the PSO aspect of this site is getting completely swept under the rug, which doesn't come across as particularly welcoming to people who are still here because of PSO. :-/

I agree with them. These ideas from both of them sound good to me. And I would appreciate it.

The star issue has been fixed.

As for the suggested forum functionality, no further updates are going to be made to the existing software. The forum overhaul will be happening in the very near future (exact date has yet to be determined). It should address several of the issues that are being raised here.

[AlexCraig]

I see.

Out of curiosity, what kind of things are going to be fixed/atlered/etc?

The only thing I want to say right now is that it is a comprehensive top-to-bottom overhaul. I don't really want to go into specifics yet.

[AlexCraig]

Ah, okay.

out of curiosity, how do you actually go about overhauling the site? Do you have some offline version you mess with, alter and test? Then paste the coding into... whatever it is you submit your coding to.

Very carefully.

I'm still working on the roll-out plan for the overhaul.

I test most new code on a local copy of the site.
