Jumping in now, as I tend to wait a long time into a website design to offer criticism.  I like the new look, and look forward to whichever logo you choose.  Personally, I'm partial to the Space Invaders version, but the one with mouses works.

The mobile version is SO MUCH BETTER.  Previously, if I was not logged in, the ad banner would cover some menu options (such as the link to the wiki), with no way to access them, no matter how I would zoom, rotate, etc.  Of course, I could log in, but much of my mobile browsing of GoL was done before my membership donation, as I would suspect is the case for the lion's share of the readership.

The problem I'm seeing is that the sales page appears to be broken right now, so I can't comment on it:

Warning: PDOStatement::execute(): SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 's.drmfree' in 'field list' in /home/prxa/public_html/includes/class_mysql.php on line 34

Over all, however, it's good work!

Sales page fixed.

The logo will eventually be switched to Alex's new mascot when he can finish it so it's only temp for a month or so hopefully.

Most of the issues I posted above have been fixed too.

Going through issues sent to me by our server guru now too. There's a lot (mostly small issues).

On screens between 767px and 979px wide, your navbar doesn't quite fit. Here's some changes that will allow you to fit it.

1. Follow these instructions.


2. Add this CSS to your style.css.


Not tested so let me know if it doesn't work properly. Alternatively, you can just get rid of the Home link altogether.

Liam, there's a small problem introduced by the sidebar link element code I sent you before. Change this:

.sidebar .nav>li>a:hover, .nav>li>a:focus

To this (adds .sidebar after the comma):

.sidebar .nav>li>a:hover, .sidebar .nav>li>a:focus

This will prevent the vertical shifting that happens when clicking an element in the navbar.

Wiki should be able to use existing accounts, without creating yet another username and password to forget.

H-Hour done both, kept normal home icon though as it looks good anyway :)

Sobkas eventually I will try it with the wiki but it's another thing to find time for.

Alex's current iteration of the new logo is up, go see and tell us what you think.

Looks good! :)

Here's a couple of bug reports/feature requests:

1) Whenever I've got an unread PM, there appears an annoying warning message at the top of the page: "Notice: Undefined variable: notifications in /home/gamingonlinux/public_html/whatever.php on line xx". I'm sending a PM to Liam so he can check for himself.

2) The IRC page doesn't seem to work: http://www.gamingonlinux.com/irc/ (404 error)

3) When editing a sale, it doesn't keep the DRM-free checkbox selected

4) Some new sales providers are needed (or the ability to create new ones :P): Humble Bundle/Humble Store, GamersGate, Amazon.com, Indiebundle.org, Bundle Stars and stacksocial. Right now I've noted them as "Not Listed", but some of them should have its own tag -- particularly the first 4.

1) Fixed.

2) Fixed

3) Added to my todo, will fix later today

4) Go to "Manage Sale Providers" on the admin ;)

4) Go to "Manage Sale Providers" on the admin ;)

D'oh!!! I swear I searched the option but I didn't see it...

Also fixed the drmfree checkbox on editing :)

Awesome, thanks! :D

(I've already added the missing sales providers.)

A few small cosmetic changes:

• Category will now not be inside the tagline text.


• Comments count moved to own line below the text, feels much more right to see it after the tagline


• Fixed article preview template still being from the old website for users submitting (oops!)

Another weird bug.

Go to an article.  Page down to the bottom, and click "Post Comment" (don't enter any text).

Notice that you're now on the Serious Sam 4 article... :S:

Fixed.

Okay pushed a few more changes guys:

• Comments link on home page/category view now goes to the comments (other sites do it, i found it annoying that it didn't)


• Fixed the whole no new line after quoting someone issue.


• Removed the adsense advert that was next to the Dirk 2 ad up the top (mainly as adsense doesn't work right with responsive designs, even if I hide an advert for smaller screen sizes the code is still ran giving false impressions and causing other issues, so now one less ad and dirk 2 for troy has more exposure too.

More updates to come, as always it's a work in progress but it's looking pretty solid now!

Oh forgot this one:

• Updated SCEditor to the latest dev version, fixes many issues including, you no longer have to highlight a link to remove it, just click on it anywhere in the link and click remove link button on the toolbar, finally! :D

I've found a new bug. When making an article an Editor's Pick using the link in the front page, it happens this: http://i.imgur.com/3qmvcDQ.png

PS: You may also want to fix the confirmation message too ("it's" should be "its"). :)

Should now be fixed please confirm, also rolled out a small change:

• SCEditor (Our WYSIWYG bbcode editor) javascript files are now only loaded on pages that actually have the editor, saving you loading 67kb on javascript when not needed for the sake of maybe 2-3kb extra php code to do the check :D

That change should make certain pages like our actual home page load 1-2 seconds faster, a lot if you are actually watching it load!

Problem fixed, thanks!

About the other change, the home page certainly seems to be loading faster but that could easily be autosuggestion. :P
