[Pirotess]

This thread is to gather feedback on our recently released Dev Tracker. Please let us know what you like, dont like and would like to see added to the system!

Just noticed that the Dev Tracker link on top of page is not showing the Dev posts - they are turning up in the Today's Posts list.

!Oh I love the direct link back to the original post!

The Dev Tracker link at the top of the page was originally just intended to take you to the Dev Tracker forum and then let you navigate to whichever dev you were interested in tracking. Today's Posts was where I intended that you would see the latest posts since your last visit from Devs.

You bring up an interesting improvement that I might be able to work on though. Having todays posts from the Dev Tracker on the Dev Tracker index. I didnt think to do that since I have the Dev Tracker module on the front page doing that already. Since thats a vbulletin page instead of CMS page it will take some work though so I'll put it on the feature list for Rev 1.1!

sure I am always good for making people work harder...

in truth it's not a problem, I just didn't know how it worked

[Aredhel]

Twyla, without the "dreamers", the "doers" don't know what people want. They just like to "fix" things! It's all good, and thank you!

[Flagg]

It's good work pirotess as always

I like the "link back to original post" thing as well. Very easy to navigate!

I've just fixed a bug that was preventing new developer posts from being added to the dev tracker tool. Now that the bug is fixed the Dev tracker is again up to date. I've also moved the Dev Tracker module on the front page back underneath the news module and re-activated the Recent Threads module I had deactivated to make room for the Dev Tracker on the right hand side of the page. After using the Dev Tracker for a few days I realized I needed to see more of the Titles than was possible on the right hand side and I missed the recent threads box too.

To compensate for the loss in visibility I have changed the Dev Tracker link at the top of the page to a drop down that either focuses your page on the summary module below the news or links to the Dev Tracker index like the old link used to do.

Let me know how you like that setup. I'll be adding more devs this afternoon to the system as Im fairly sure I've worked all the bugs out of it now. Thanks.

I like this setup much better thanks. I had become attached the recent post thing on the side and when you removed it I really missed it. Glad to see it back.

[Siencyn]

aye, I like the setup.
