New holofeed launched
Howdy, RSers,
During each summer, many projects pass through the Internet Office's realm. The latest is a news "holofeed" which collects all of the latest happenings in the RS and organizes them chronologically. You can look at particular categories, or create your own custom filter that has, say, everything except forum posts.
For those who long for the old index page, fear not: use "Preferences" to select a default of "Classic view", and you'll be comfortable again.
What's that you say? Mumble mumble looks like google plus or facebook mumble? Suppose you're right!
Any ideas are welcome as regards other categories to include, design ideas, and so forth. In the future, after some other preliminary work that would be needed first, I hope to include activity newsfeeds, e.g. "X-Wing" and "Simming", that only index information relevant to those games & activities.
Hope this helps your viewing experience, and til next time,
":)

Ummm, I don't know if it's just me, but the home site looks like a giant wall of text for me :O Good idea, though, but can't it be separated as it was? ADM David "Heavy" Pasiechnyk - Thu Aug 18 2011, 3:42pm
That would be the classic view option Adam... unless you mean something different... MGN Adam Mieter - Thu Aug 18 2011, 3:48pm
I meant, a classic view with the holofeed messages :) FA Licah Fox - Thu Aug 18 2011, 5:02pm
Hey, Adam,The classic view should still contain almost all of the same information, minus a bit here and there ... what messages are you missing?

Go to preferences and select classic view then save. Then it will be like Licah never messed with anything. I don't like the new look either, which is why there IS a classic view ;) Licah loves me. MGN Adam Mieter - Fri Aug 19 2011, 9:32am
Yes, I'm back in classic view. What I meant was:In Custom view, messages show up like "XY has joined the RS." or "XY replied to
See the difference?

Ah, right, I see what you mean. I think the classic view will cover the category separation, though, and is still relatively clear about what's going on. I could create a "semi-classic view", in which the old categories are still separated, but with the new timestamp format and text style, but I feel that classic view works well enough for that purpose.

Yarr, for those of us still using IE, the frontpage now looks like it's supposed to! 1LT Jarik Nyine - Fri Aug 26 2011, 9:03pm
Tried both the classic and the former default and I stick with the default, looks more hmm... clean to me! ":)
