What do you think of the latest changes to iin? (1/19/2012)
Hey Folks,
We just pushed out a few fairly big changes, so I'd like to share a bit of info about what was included in the update and to also provide a place to discuss the new stuff.
- The "unification" of stories and polls.
* The major change was what I'll call the "unification" of stories and polls. Since the inception of polls on IIN, they've been separated out from the stories and always shown in a group on top of the stories. This is now no longer the case.
* We felt this distinction wasn't really necessary and sort of gave the polls an unfair advantage over the stories when it came to attention on the site.
* So, what we've done is put them on an even playing field. The homepage, most popular lists, category pages, related posts, etc. will now include both stories and polls together.
- Revamped submission form.
* To go one step further with the "unification", we've revamped the submit form and merged stories and polls into one submission process.
* There's now just one form to submit a story or a poll, and along the way you pick which type of voting you'd like to have.
* This means that often requested features like previewing, editing and deleting are now also available for polls.
- You can still find "newest polls" or "newest stories" on the right sidebar if you want to look for posts of a certain type.
- The display of the story/poll contents and voting area has been updated. We feel the new look is clearer and more consistent.
- Fixed the bug where commenting after replying was not working.
- Other minor tweaks and fixes throughout the site.
So, that's that. We hope you like the changes! Please discuss below and please email us via the feedback form about any bugs you find. More good stuff to come in the future.
Thanks!!
