New Web Site Launch!

**Apophis** · 08-16-2004, 05:47 PM

For the past few weeks I have been working behind the scenes developing and integrating a new content management system for the Tactical Gamer web site. This new system allows for EXTREMELY tight integration with our forums software and adds the ability to roll out more features for our supporting members.

The work on the new site is almost completed and we will be making the transition as soon as some final touches are complete, maybe even this evening!

Some of the new features you can keep your eyes out for:

• Latest posts listed on the home page.
• News items now are driven from forum posts and replies are added to existing threads.
• Forums calendar now replicated to the home page.
• Forum/Content search available from the home page.
• Support for the NEW Tactical Gamer downloads area!
• Support for a NEW on-line web arcade!

This is only a short list of the additions that will be coming into play over the next few days into the coming weekend.

Nice! Much more practical... I like it a lot.

But we have some new guy named RSS-Agent spamming the forums with a bunch of news.... You might want to take care of that guy... j/k Now that we're getting the 3DGamers newsfeed in the forums, I have no need for my Desktop Sidebar app anymore...

Very nice.

Thanks Cing!

I'm still working out some of the bugs with the RSS feeds. I needed to take a break from the content migration. But the rest of the guides, FAQs and reviews will get migrated to the new site over the coming days.

Any other good RSS feeds we should be carrying?

I was getting TG's homepage news, 3DGamers and Foxnews. I don't see Fox News fitting in here, so you've got my news needs covered as much as is appropriate. I never really went looking for any other newsfeeds...

It's very nice

I like Fox News! :-)

Very nice. Yes, it gets eternal's drunken THUMBS UP!

Thanks E! It really is a much nicer presentation for a content site. I've got some more work to do to clean some of the things up to make them a little nicer in appearance, but the bulk of the work is done!

Ummm, the "top synd. news feeds" is nice, but perhaps a bit too much?

Wintermute · 08-17-2004, 07:23 AM

The new site is a great improvement!

As for news, please, please no Fox! How about CNN international, google news or even BBC world (I'm assuming these have feeds, but I know diddly about RSS). Slashdot might also be popular.

Oh, yeah, if we could pick up slashdot, life would be grand!

And Foxnews rules...

Nice, thanks for all your collective work. I'm making decent money and I owe you, how can I subscribe other than Paypal?

Love, DeRanger
