Website Updated and Live

Post by r333xxw0lf3h »

On the matter of the Website:

I say, it's better than what was here before, Forums look so much better, now that the theme matches the web page theme. There will still be bugs here and there, that can only be resolved with the help of YOU, by screen shooting and uploading the picture, along with a detailed message replied to this thread.

Some things may look out of place, and that may or may not be intentional. Perfection doesn't come overnight, so just do what you can do, and leave the rest to us

On a last note:
Please do not freak out if you view a page, then later on it looks like it's been reverted backwards, The cache on this server is a little wonky, but we will get past the bumps in the road.


To view Changelog, please go to topic, and check second reply, as that is where the changes will be posted.
Wolfeh Out.

1/30/26:
  • Updated CSS styling to style post links on home page.
  • Made post titles on homepage clickable
  • News and Updates Module is designed to list posts in the order in which they was last created, Not replied to. This is for a reason, and that is if we post a new update, it is the most important and up to date update, therefore should be posted at top of page. When viewing the threads within the forums, they are ordered by latest reply.

  • Enabled the Live Dashboard & Upcoming Events Modules on the sidebar
2/4/26
The past couple days has been busy, but well worth it. The new site patch just rolled out today, and there are some key features worth noting.
  • Dual-Color Pulse Badges:
Red for Private Messages and Blue for Board Notifications to match the website's aesthetic appearance.
  • Smart Browser Title
Dynamically updates to (X) Impact-Gaming Community to display total count of unread PM's and notifications, and cleans itself on refresh to prevent doubling.
  • Real-Time Polling
Automatically fetches new data every 120 seconds without reloading the page.
  • AJAX "Mark as Read"
An instant checkmark button that clears notifications and fades them out smoothly.
  • Audio Alerts:
Plays a notification "ping" when the total count increases.
  • phpBB Compliant:
Uses the phpBB Request Class to prevent Illegal use of outdated commands, in turn causing fatal errors.
  • Performance Optimized:
Uses a JSON cache system to keep database queries fast.

2/13/2025
  • Updated Roster System
Roster members are grouped by their community position, with those of the highest rank, showed in order, and not duplicated in each group.
Below their username on the roster, Their rank will be in text, along with the image below the text. Any other ranking images below the main rank image, indicates other groups, roles or ranks that member holds.
Added the follow features: Last Active, Current Active status, Warnings count & Country Flags
  • Tweaked the server manager backend to help improve query and loading times.
  • Main navbar has gotten an update
If you hold any type of admin privilege's, and need access to backend control panels, you will notice some extra links on the navbar if you are logged in. These will link you to the respective control panels. This only applies to council members, admins, and mods



Thing's we are considering implementing to the website, Please reply and give us your input, ideas, and suggestions.
  • BugTracker
First and foremost, this will allow front end users to submit any bugs and issues they may have, and allows the web team to easily go through each issue, keeping track of the status, and able to keep things less cluttered on their workspaces.
  • Donation System
We stand proud on not having "membership fees" or requiring donations to be a part of the community, however, it does help keep things flowing smoothly, and allows for community give-backs, such as give-a-ways from taking part in contests and events, or even if a member faces hardship and has a hardware issue, and needs to get back up and running, community may hold a vote to help member out.
We want to display our donors, only if they wish to be displayed, as we like to give recognition to those to help, and put back into the community, but if you wish not to have your donations displayed, you can toggle that. It's all in your control.
