Okay, here's a list of everything that's changed in the last 24 hours or so here on the website.
This already is so much nicer than the old forum software. No more stupid random limitations... good forum software almost everyone's used before... no need to create a new separate account as login on the site works across both. All in all, good stuff.
With phpBB being integrated, the site felt a lot more cramped and the actual forum posts looked like they couldn't handle more than three words on a line without needing to wrap. Now that we're only using the left sidebar instead of both, we've got more room to play with. I also increased the site size to use 95% of your current browser size, up from 85%. The result is a lot more room, I think... feels cleaner to me, anyways.
I was avoiding this in the past because I didn't want people to download the package and then realize that it would be far easier for them to just follow the readme and use wget to download the package to the PS3, but... yeah... anyways, this is fixed up and only releases are shown there now with the most recent at the top. Better.
Basically, all frontpage posts are now automatically echoed to the News and Announcements portion of the phpBB forum. All comments will now be made through phpBB... just makes things easier for everyone.
As I said earlier, no one ever used Bugzilla... which is too bad as I very much enjoy using it. Anyways, the new bug ticketing system is far more friendlier to the masses and I hope you guys actually start using it. It's far easier for me to go to one place for things I need to do or fix than it is for me to hunt through the forums for random posts, so you shouldn't be surprised if I leave tickets for myself as reminders of things that need to be done.
Well, I wasn't able to integrate it into the Drupal site like I would have liked, but I've replaced the direct SVN link in the navigation bar at the top with WebSVN, a program that makes it far easier to follow along with the changes I'm making, commit messages, and so on... you know, for those of you who are interested in that sort of thing. Also includes RSS feeds in case you want to monitor portions of SVN... for... whatever reason.
As always, if there's anything you'd like to see, especially in phpBB, please let me know. Summary - Website Changes Over the Past 24 Hours
