Feeds going live
I've been on vacation, came back all relaxed, and then got seriously thwacked with stuff at work.

Anyway: New My Gaia page, with feeds, is going live in about 30 minutes. Will post a new journal entry after that has been done (it's symbolic -- so the development journal is on the new feed system, see?)

I rally like the new My Gaia thing.

Even though it just broke GaiArch. D:

Sorry, but I am not liking it. I loved the new navigation tabs - why not stick with those? Why do we have another set of links to make us scroll further down the page to find the information we need? Aren't these tabs a bit redundant? I don't like the landing page - it has none of the information I want on it and information I don't care for on it. neutral

Edit: Judging by the SF, you might need another vacation after this.

My feeds is empty even though I'm subscribed to this journal and many others.

gonk My first response to empty feeds: "It's a lie!" and so I checked my subscriptions and behold... new journal entries! >_> I'm glad I checked. *realizes now the feeds are probably turned off and it isn't just hers*

I want to be friends with all the devs now so I can post-stalk them through feeds easier. sweatdrop

EDIT: I'm more interested in being able to know what devs are up to than my friends! I'm hoping the feeds could be used to enhance staff-to-user communication.

It's lovely. Seriously, I don't know why people are complaining that it's like MySpace and Facebook because anything on the My Gaia page is an improvement, since now there's reason to visit it apart from picking up the Daily Chance. And this is the first time I'm actually warming to this strange background of new Gaia, it's very easy on the eyes. Plus, I love all this integration of everything now, it was just floating about without being linked to anything properly before.

Yes, lovely. heart

Although I have a widescreen monitor and everything is all on the left, it's a bit strange, it wasn't all like this before on the inbox and journals. >__<

I would probably like it more if it worked. My feeds are blank for both this account and a mule's, and it was tested on two browsers. Cache was cleared for both. sad

I can't even find a fix thread on the forums to troubleshoot it.

...why is the new My Gaia bar on the Subscribed Threads page when that's a Community page?

... and less another one daily chance... where will it start to became good? O.o

Edit: they fixed the dailychance from My Gaia, but I only still get 5 gg and flowers... they said we'd start getting better items... confused


commentCommented on: Fri Aug 29, 2008 @ 02:31am
The new navigation bar seems redundant to the other one. Or it's going to replace it?

My feeds don't show up, so I can't say I really like this so far.

i hope you had a good vacation.

sadly though i must say i'm not liking the current changes. it's all loading very slowly and i have to jump through hoops to find stuff. i know everyone worked really hard on this but at the moment i'm pretty disappointed with it. sad

@Platonix:
It's your subscribed threads/journals, therefore it is your gaia. (hence it being in the My Gaia section : D)


commentCommented on: Fri Aug 29, 2008 @ 03:17am
I'm sorry but it sucks. It's likely the most unorganized page I've ever been to on the net. Change is good and all, if it's for the better. I shouldn't have to click a hundred times to see everything I used to see on one page. Epic fail, awful. Whatever you kiddies want to call it.

That's believable for Journals, but not for Threads. The dropdown menu link for "My Thread Subscriptions" is under the Community Tab, and when you view the Thread Subscriptions the Community Tab lights up to indicate that this is the part of the site you're on. ...but the MyGaia bar also appears underneath the menus, which makes no sense to me.

OMG Pan's alive! *hugs*

Welcome back Pan! So it was vacation eh? Well you sure deserved it.

Great to cya back in action... and the new My Gaia - epic win. All my fears with it look to be covered. EDIT: And it runs extremely fast in Safari. Thanks for that.

EDIT 2: Oo hit a page that defiantly needs an overhaul - my account. It looks so unorganized. You guys need to put some sort of banner or something separating options from on another; it's rather hard on the eyes right now.


commentCommented on: Fri Aug 29, 2008 @ 05:00am
To Everyone complaining about the page being feedless:
Pasifisticuffs says that they were turned off due to errors.

I personally love the new look, and just wish that people weren't so ingrained in habit that something new is instantly some disease that must be destroyed. sad

Oh how nice of you to have been on vacation while users are pulling off their hairs waiting excruciating days for when all the problems that need to be fixed are finally finished. But i am so glad you were on vacation instead.

Awesome really.So now that you are back you think you could FIX THE DAMN INVENTORIES/MARKETPLACE/TRADING/ALL OTHER PROBLEMS BEING EXPERIENCED.

Instead of releasing new things we can barely even use because of all the crap and issues we all have right now. Hopefully now that you are back all relaxed and vacationed you will take you time and actual stand by your word when you said you update. How about you start updating and talking about the real issues that need to be fixed.

@Real Mayer: Gaia isn't a machine of single purpose; different teams work on seperate subjects. That being said, in case you haven't noticed (clearly) bug fixes are created daily, and pushed on a twice-per-week basis.
To barge into someone else's personal journal and accuse them of being lazy is just plain rude. Panagrammic, in infinite wisdom, could just lock his journal, and then what would you be able to do? You would be left in the dark even more than usual.

And even important people need breaks. I know that several backend devs are still recouping from the item norm project. And on that subject, there has been a script going through every inventory re-serializing all giftboxed items, so that it will work. The reason it is taking so long is because there are many many millions of items to sort through and organize.

Next time you wish to rant, get your facts straight and do it in the right venues; preferably Site Feedback.

Hey Pan there's no Daily Chance on the new My Gaia screen. Is that a bug or on purpose?

Okay...I think the new layout, this may sound childish, sucks...I mean, it's so unorganized and I have absolutely NO idea how to use it. I think that if you're actually going to keep it, you should have made the layout an option of the old one or the new one. That way, the people who like/love it can have it and the people who can't stand it/hate can have the old one back. Cause I would really love to have the old one back. And I know so many users would too.

Please, take this idea into consideration. Cause I know it's a good one. Many users agree with this idea, or have already said it before me. So, that just goes to show you what the populace really wants.

We lost another daily chance in this new layout. How was your vacation? We're still in the same old glitch problems. At least you had some rest...


commentCommented on: Fri Aug 29, 2008 @ 07:11pm
I personally believe you should've had Admin post an announcement about it, with a link to the/a thread about how Gaians want the new mandatory thread to look. Not everyone was ready for the switch and I know some people who hadn't even known that a change was imminent. Next time, communicate more?

I like the new change, by the way. I'd like it better if the tabs weren't paginated, however.

Daily chance works finally. That's a start. When is it going to get beefed up though?


commentCommented on: Sat Aug 30, 2008 @ 05:42am
i liked being able to see what my pms were WITHOUT actually checking them. you could see the title of each of the new pms without making the new pm bubble go away. now it can't be done anymore. that is the only problem i have with it. which is odd. uaully i have tons of complaints about every new feature, but with this redesign, just one. domokun stargate

The whoopsie notice you guys put up you need to fix the layering on. It blocks me from getting to the bottom options of the world and games menu.

EDIT: Blocks marketplace submenu of shops as well, merch and payment history.

I hate the feeds...They are idiotic and share things that i do NOT want to be shared.
Get rid of them
EVERYONE is complaining.
EDIT;
and if not Everyone Everyone, Then at least enuph people that are leaving gaia, at least three of my freinds are temporarilly taking a step back, and there are SO many boards that dont like this...

Holy cow, talk about inappreciative people.

Pan, developers, I'M grateful for the work you all put in to clean up Gaia. I hope you enjoyed your well-deserved vacation and I'm sorry how rude some of these people are being.

I like the new My Gaia page, for me it's going to be easier to organise my stuff thereabouts. I hope people come to realise that it's aligned personally and only the one logged in can see the feed for that account (hopefully the announcement cleared that up).

When you've got time, I'm just curious, when are y'all looking at clearing up the gift-giving server? Take your time, as long as you've got Trade up, there's no serious problems. smile

I'm excited for zOMG! ... but prep yourself for a lot of disappointed users... Not because it's bad, but because the way some people are going on, you'd think they are expecting holographic images and real money prizes. razz

For all those being rude and yelling at this poor man for going on vacation- NOBODY IS MAKING YOU USE GAIA! NOBODY IS MAKING YOU PAY MONEY FOR MONTHLY COLLECTIBLES, ETC! GET A JOB AND SEE IF YOU LIKE WORKING 40+ HOURS A WEEK, 52 WEEKS A YEAR WITHOUT A BREAK AND RECEIVING NO THANKS!!! GET OVER YOURSELVES!!!!!!!

So... yeah. Cheers!


commentCommented on: Tue Sep 02, 2008 @ 04:03am
I assume you had a nice vacation, Pan. whee

Also, I think the new My Gaia page turned out well, except for a few glitches and bugs, of course. The most glaring one is the inventory, specially the Games section. There's no numbers! eek But I'll know that'll be fixed soon.

And the borderless quotes in the PMs, is that a glitch?

I like the new MyGaia. smile

The house/car though makes the page load incredibly slow. I guess its not really something you can fix though can you? Like put a picture of our house/car instead of a mini one that has to load ALL of the crap in it?

Any day now with them feeds...Its nice to hear that dev journals are automatically included? (There are some that're private, and some that dont really pertain to whats happening on Gaia. Your's is the most informative one!) I'll be utilizing those privacy options right away. biggrin

I dont know if this is in your area or not, but whenever I click "Attach Signature" to my PM's or Journal things, my signature never shows up. o_o

Hope your time off was nice. Did you go on Gaia at all? xp
