March 2017 Site Update

Matt
Matt
30 Mar 2017

In our second site update of the year, we've been doing a lot of work behind the scenes, so the release might look a bit lighter on the ground compared to previous updates. We're also planning our next big platform upgrade; work on that starts in April, and we'll limit the volume of improvements we'll make on the current platform over the coming months.. don't worry.. we'll still be listening to your suggestions and fixing problems, we'll just not be actively working on big new features.

 

Highlights

 

Change embedded videos to scale in size / be suitable for mobile

Countdown Timer added to the Design Challenge application form

 

Improvements

 

Ability to add 'Reasons To Register' panel to the Registration Form

Improve Featured Search so that 'eagle' doesn't show Beaglebone results

New homepage profile icon which should look a lot better for Social Network sharing

Un-editable profile fields are now hidden, simplifying the look of the form

 

+3 other changes

+2 other anti-spam improvements

 

UX/UI

 

'In Review' widget needs UI tweaking

Top Member badge sometimes wraps onto the next line

Styling issue on the Create DreamBoard page

 

+ 2 other changes

 

Fixes / Maintenance

 

Tidy up video code.. remove non-HTML5 option

Video record not being created in some situations

Ensure the 'Following' page shows RoadTests correctly

Missing images on some RoadTests
