We rolled out a ton of new code this morning. Hopefully that went more or less unnoticed. I'm not seeing any problems other than some occasional display weirdness from a cached stylesheet. I'm trying to track that down.
Here's what you get:
Speed and stability should both be improved.
New "Share and Save" boxes around the site that make it really easy to add content to your watchlist, save it to social bookmarking sites (Del.icio.us, stumbleupon, facebook, whatever), or send it to a friend. Also, when you add a forum topic, project car or reader ride to your watchlist, you can now get email when it's updated (turn the preference on in your profile).
All new classifieds section. You can now run your classified both online AND in the magazine, and unlike the Marketplace it's fully integrated with the rest of the site. In other words, your regular login works there, too. Just for fun, we threw in maps, "tell a friend", and those sorts of things, too.
Clubs section has a revamped layout for better usability. Better maps, too.
Events now let you add yourself to a list of people attending.
Forum: Ya'll are going to like this.
- Post formatting controls should now work better in IE6.
- We've added basic BBCode support for post formatting
- We fixed the tab order, so if you like to tab from the post box to the "add post" button, it now does what you expect
- And, as mentioned earlier, emails for watched topics
Big revamp of the store to make it easier to use.
I've still got a little mopping up to do here and there. If you spot a problem, drop me an email.
