Hey everyone - as you may have noticed, the site here has changed significantly this week. I am rolling out a network-wide update. I've been re-coding every website across our network from scratch essentially. With an emphasis on user-friendliness and speed. 

The UI has completely been re-done with much smoother transitions for ease of use. Posting topics and submitting news are now only 1 click away using the new "Action Button" - the circular ( + ) seen floating in the bottom right of your screen.

In addition to all that, you will notice a new text editor - I've built one from the ground up specifically for these websites. It's lightweight and fast but it is brand new, so if you notice any bugs please let me know!

My approach with this update was to breathe new life into the site and make the overall experience way more intuitive – which is why you'll notice the top right and left menus for navigation and profile engagement operate much like conventional apps do. 

With that said, the entire site is built by me and has zero dependencies on third party software so if issues to arrise or bugs are found I need to manually fix them. So if you do find any, please don't hesitate to let me know!

More features will be rolling out this weekend and into next week in time for Alien: Earth's release so be sure to keep an eye on this site in the coming days!

As always, feedback is greatly appreciated so if you have any recommendations or opinions, please share them below!

Thanks everyone!

* Replies now look like this * I'm quite pleased with how it's looking now and is quite an upgrade from what we had before. However there's always room for improvement, so please share your feedback!

Looks like it might have been due to inserting emojis - I have fixed this! 🙂

Nice

*Edit: First commented with a smile emoji, and the comment disappeared. I then removed the emoji, and it appears ok now.

It's possible the site is fetching a cached version, can you hard refresh the site and try adding another reply with an emoji? 

If that doesn't work - please let me know what device you're using to post! Emoji worked fine from my iPhone mobile browser - I will check Android as well unless you're using a desktop.

Thank you for letting me know!

Puzzling why some replies are going through and some not - the emoji issue should be resolved. NCC - can you clarify if your post was TEXT only or if you tried to add any images / emojis / embeds, etc... ? Tracking these bugs down one by one - we'll nuke em all from orbit. Thanks for reporting any and all issues encountered!

Should all be fixed now 🙂 There were some last minute formatting bugs I’ve since sorted out!
