SP Happenings #49

I'm quite pleased with the progress on the redesign over the last week. I managed to add another cool feature to it (let's leave it as a surprise for now) and rearrange the section division anew for all sections apart from Games, where things will stay more or less the same, at least initially. With the help from questions collected on our boards, I also put together a helpful SP FAQ, which nicely ties into the new design. I also rewrote my short biography and rewrote & moved the history of SP into the FAQ, so it will be easier to find. At this point the only things left to do are some community supporter interface tweaks, final population of the site navigation system, and, of course, the conversion of the entire Games section. The first "beta test" for a few select people will be when everything else apart from the Games section is done, which should be quite soon. I'm looking forward to testing the whole thing out and fully experiencing it as the new site, rather than just testing every page separately.

If you're not a regular on our message boards, you should check out the Mod Reviews forum again, since it is growing nicely with submitted mod reviews. Starting last week, I also held a call for donations on the boards to collect money for the server RAM upgrade, so we won't have to experience the problems we've been having lately any more. The call has been successful and we have managed to raise the needed funds, so thanks again to all who have donated and made it possible. If you missed it but would still like to help (SP still has the hosting and many other costs to cover every month), please see this page.
