Hello Coders,

This weekend I have spent hours (a lot of them lol) trying to update certain areas of the site by changing the layouts to make things look a little better and add some new stuff in the process.

So far I have updated 2 areas of the site and I wanted to point them out just in case you didn't notice lol.

Profile page:
This page has been bugging me for a very long time because it just looked too plain and the tabs were extremely annoying and also quite old looking so I wanted to change it and make it look better and add more information about the user. In the new page layout everything is on a single screen (no messy tabs) and includes a lot of information about the users account and activity on site. About me details, recently posted topics, medals/awards they have won, groups they are a member of, software/shop listings and more. I plan to continue to add more information to the profile page over the next few weeks.




Video gallery section:
Although we have quite a few videos posted in this section it has never really been a place people viewed or used and I think one of the reasons for that is because it looked quite boring and not really inviting. So again I set to work changing the layout and adding some new features and I still have some work to do buts its already looking so much better.

The video gallery now has a main page showing a featured video and the 12 newest videos making it super easy to see whats new and the featured block brings a users attention to your videos.



Many videos posted are tutorial videos and many are based on textual tutorials posted in the forums so I thought wouldn't it be great if you were watching a video and it contained a link to a step-by-step tutorial posted on the site...so I added the option to submit a tutorial link when submitting a video to the gallery.

If a video has a tutorial linked to it then you will now see an orange button in the video viewer:



You can now also view all videos posted by the same user so if you really like a video you can view all the other videos that user has posted.


Those are the updates so far but I still have loads more to do and I will keep you updated as I go along.

Hope you like the new layouts and features cooll;

Some information/features were left out of the profile page for now because I still have stuff to add which require updates to other sections of the site but will be added again soon don't worry.

Profile page looks awesome, well done with the site updates! Did you see my bug post about the downloads of files that cost credits?

Profile page always disturbed me and I never liked the way the data was arranged. Looks good now! Good luck with future updates.
