Anyone reading this, I assume, has notice a few things have been updated. I hope, after kicking the wheels and taking them for a test drive, you all find them favorable.
With that said I want to tell you a few things.
1) I apologize for not giving everyone a heads up that there could be a little disruption as the change was taking place. I truly meant to, but this was supposed to happen on last Wednesday but got pushed for certain reasons, then it was supposed to happen on this past Tuesday and we had an internal server crash (main site was down for 90 minutes) which then took the rest of that day to stabilize. So what it came down to on Wednesday night was I wanted to get this new code up for Halloween [Our birthday so to speak (we turn 5 on Halloween)]. So my only window was Thursday morning.
2) This update has corrected some problems that were occurring in some browsers but created some new ones in older browsers. For that I, again, have to say sorry. We tested against nearly all versions of browsers on the main site, but the community pages have a few quirks that, well, basically we only find after they are live. We don't have true live testing environment for the community pages. So if you are experiencing troubles, please send me your computer (pc/mac, not brand) browser (i.e., Firefox, chrome, safari, please don't tell me opera) and the version of that browser.
a. If you are having difficulty here are a few that are working correctly with the new code
1. Firefox 7
2. IE 7
3. Chrome 15 - video player sitting above the navigation drop down menu. being fixed
4. Safari - I haven't dug deep yet, so let me know if you are having problems.
Amongst all of these we are still finding random versions that are having flagging and delete issues. So help me help you, now that we have fresh code in we can pinpoint the issues if you let me know what browser and version you are using.
3) The Elephant in the Room.........The New Navigation Bar. I know that change can be jarring, and most of us like what we have, we are used to what we have, and damn it we don't want to see it any different. I get that, I swear. When Yahoo tells me that I have to change my email set up now or later, I always pick later. Creature of habit, but aren’t we all. Hell I drive stick, when I borrow someone’s automatic, I look for the clutch. So I understand if some of you don't like the slimmed down site navigation. All I can ask is give it a few days and a few looks and I think/hope you will find it is actually an improvement. There are more relevant things in that navigation even though it is smaller. So I just asked you to give it a chance. And after a few days you hate it, tell me why. you know where I live
In the meantime, all favorable comments can be left here for all to see!!!!!!!!
Seriously, let me know what you think. Things can always be augmented, trust me I have to live in LA now, I see it all the time.
And if you want to play a game, guess which one I am in this series of pictures... (note that there will be pictures added until Monday 10/31 so maybe I am not here yet, mwaaahahah) and to be fair, we all have department lables, myself, our graphics designer, and our reasercher were put into other departments just to "make it easier", so don't look for 'site producer' or 'webmaster' as a clue

No worries about any harsh words.
I am going to have to look into the photo thing a little more, i will get back to you later tonight or tomorrow morning.
Good Shizzay!
I am very glad that the thumbs down is gone, that just turned this place into the land of the trolls.
When will we get our friends list back?
So you want to know about Friends?
i am going to be annoyingly vague because we are still looking into a few things, but if all goes as expected , there will be a BIG update in the next 4-6 weeks. As soon as i have some harder facts to pass along, i will update.
Regarding This Thread
You know this post was about some updates that happend on the old site from last year, not related to the current site?
First Big Update!
As promised, the first in a series of updates/enhancements just went live today. Private messageing is now up and running.
You will notice at the top right of the page there is a new link for "inbox" this will be present whenever you are logged in on any page on FEARnet.com not just in the community section. clicking this will take you into you mail box where you can read new mail or send a new message. You will also have the ability to block any unwanted users from messaging you.
You will also notice on everones profile page there is a new button to "send message".
If you do not want private messaging enabled, you may turn it on and off through edit profile. You also can turn on and off the email notifications, these let you know if you have been sent a new message on fearnet, and you can click right from the email to the new message.
So, play around with the new feature and let me know what you think. Send me a private message!
Next big update is roughly 2 weeks away.
