New coder and site updates!

[Sushidragon]

Hi everyone! Just wanted to let you know that we have a new coder working on the site, with some exciting changes on the way I’ll let them introduce themselves and take it from here!

[Rythe]

Summer Storm has been hard at work on a bit of a visual update for a long, long time, but it's finally paid off!

She's totally celebrating here, really. Confetti is being tossed around with merry abandon! In spirit!

Although if you find something that doesn't look quite right, she might be willing to step away from her long awaited mug of victory cocoa. Maybe. If you ask really nicely. And toss some confetti... <.<

[ElvenArcher]

The site looks amazing!! I just did some quick exploring and I'm amazed at how gorgeous everything is! I searched for my Sams and when they came up I literally said Ooo Pretty XD.
Lol! I hope I don't sound too silly. It's late and I am very tired. I just got home from a play (Shrek the Musical) and I just was checking to see if there was anything new posted. The website looks fantastic! *throws confetti!*

[Orasteele]

I'm loving the new site layout! It looks awesome!! Great work you guys!

[Sushidragon]

I can take no credit for the updates, it was all Ry- I mean, Summer Storm! ;D

Now that the site is live we're in the process of tweaking things, so stuff may change or break throughout the day. Eventually I'll have a new banner to go across the top of the pages, so enjoy the old top-of-the-page Sams for now! XD

Omg, I'm sooooo delighted to see the updated site! The database looks spiff as heck. *__* The rounded table style is just gorgeous. Coding I could manage, but graphical prettiness? Nope. That squees me so hard.

Question! Is there still a way to see extended lineage trees, or are those not a thing with the upgrade? I just wasn't seeing a link.

[Operetta]

Wow, the site looks amazing! Hmm...one of those silhouettes looks awfully familiar! *tries to pet Bite and gets glared at*

[tierasa]

The site update looks amazing. Good job... Summer Storm. You have a way with coding for a quadruped.

[Sushidragon]

@Jenn - I have to thank you again for doing the coding in the first place, we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you!

Oops, it looks like there's a bit of a bug with getting the link to the extended lineage trees! I'll alert our coder. In the meantime you can just add 'Extended' to the standard lineage URL if you want to see the big one!

@Operetta - Maybe just a little familiar ;D

@tierasa - I assume she has some kind of special keyboard, or maybe an army of dragonets to do all the typing for her..?

[SilverDapples]

Just popped on and noticed the change! Summer Storm sure did one faaantastic job there!!

[Seren]

So impressive! I love the new look! <3333

[Rythe]

@Jenn - >:[ We do not mention the Extended Doom Table of the Doom. *Gets poked by Storm* Oh, you already fixed that for the next upload? ...Uh, nevermind then! Carry on. ^^'

And I'll echo Sushi, you did a great job putting together the original site!

@Operetta - Bite was such a champ about posing for me too! ...Although I get the feeling he thought we were having a staring contest where the loser gets to be petted. I believe I lost. <.< ow

@tierasa/Sushi - She has her ways! And I hear that banging on keyboards can be surprisingly effective sometimes?

And we're so glad you all like the new look! It was totally worth it. Especially for me, as I just had to poke Summer Storm here and there.

In unrelated news, poking sticks may have survival issues around my adorable little Mystic. I'm not sure why, but she's really quite gleeful and smug about it too...

[Operetta]

Yes, I imagine he wasn't very cooperative. XD

[Novanight]

Oh its all nice and shinny! I really like the layout and how everything is displayed!

Thought I think I may have found a little problem, thought I am not sure if this is coding for the site or for the database.

When I log into the database the "Display Your Sams" page says "If any information is incorrect, you can click the pencil icon to edit their record." However there don't seem to be a pencil icon or any other way to edit information.

Just wanted to point this out.

[Sushidragon]

Oops, looks like the edit function is a little bit broken at the moment! I'll let Rythe (and Summer Storm) know and hopefully it'll be fixed later today

[Rythe]

Oops!

But we fixed it. This is why I usually let Summer Storm do most of the coding. ^^'

[ElvenArcher]

I can't see a pencil icon anywhere...??

[Rythe]

...it doesn't look like I've managed to break it again...

If you log into the Samanayr Database and click 'Display Your Sams', ElvenArcher, the pencil icon should be to the right of each Samanayr's name?

Nope, no pencils for me either

[ElvenArcher]

It's not there. (Took a screenshot so you can see too) :/ I've tried refreshing, logging out and back in again, I also tried logging in on the computer instead of my phone and it won't show up.
Not sure what's up. It isn't a big issue really I just added a new Sam to my list and I forgot something. Haha

[Rythe]

Should be fixed for you ElvenArcher!

Going to take one more step for Lv. ^^

[ElvenArcher]

Awesome! Thank you!
