Hey guys and gals. Just wanted to give you guys an overview of some of the work that was done to the site this month. We've been hard at work squashing bugs, improving performance and building new systems.



Bug Fixes & Improvements

• MafSocial system. This system is responsible for displaying recent posts on the index page and PM/cart notifications in the overall header.
  
  • Fixed browser logic attempting to load/parse recent posts from the server on pages other than the index. This should decrease your browser's memory usage and decrease page loading times site wide.
  • Cleaned up the server logic for parsing and responding to requests from the browser to prevent future issues.
• PM Search
  
  • Fixed a bug in that prevented you from deleting or moving messages you marked with the checkbox. You can now mass delete/move messages again.
  • Fixed search displaying a blank page when no messages matching the search criteria were found.
  • Re designed the advanced search area to visually match the rest of the site and be mobile friendly.
• Market
  
  • Improved the visual design of the listings on the market index to be easier to read, mobile friendly and use less code.
  • Fixed market search being incorrectly aligned with other content on the page.
• IMVU Avatar Bio Generator
  
  • Fixed app no longer working.
  • Updated the ui to match the rest of the site.
• Magic 8 Ball
  
  • Rewrote the code to be much cleaner and smaller.
  • Updated the ui to match the rest of the site.
• Misc
  
  • Optimized images site-wide to reduce their file sizes. This will decrease page loading times and decrease the amount of storage we need to host them.
  • Re wrote the WebApps page to match the rest of the site.
  • Fixed a few dozen other errors across the site that would fill up our error log behind the scenes.
  • Added responsive text alignment to our in-house UI framework.

Other News

The arcade system has been completely removed. The system hadn't been used in years, relied on Flash and was causing many errors behind the scenes. For this reason as well as the monumental undertaking restoring it would be, we decided it was time to get rid of it. Removal of this system has freed up space on our server and reduced the overall size of our site's codebase. This will make future upgrades and new feature easier to implement.


In more positive news, the medals system is undergoing a complete overhaul. New pages are being added, old ones re written or outright removed. We will introducing all brand new medals that people can work towards earning (and maybe a few that can be purchased for fun or bragging rights ). Medals will be displayed on your profile and next to posts you make. We hope the reintroduction of this system will give you guys something to look forward to.


That's it for this month. Stay tuned for more!
