Spring is here, and so are some great new additions to the clan! As previously discussed, we have added Playstation Network and Skype support to the clan. As I was implementing those, I decided to add Steam as well since there was a good amount of interest in our discussion of PSN. I would like everyone to take the time to
update their profiles by adding your accounts from these services to your profiles. For Steam, it was a little tricky since most people don't know their 64-bit Steam ID. I decided to use Steam's Custom URL to help find other clan members and I have
provided a tutorial to help you figure out what your
Custom URL is.
I've also made many cosmetic changes to the site. Now under each person's avatar in a post, you will be able to see what their SC2, PSN, Steam, and Skype accounts are for quick reference. You can click on their accounts too for quick actions, with the exception of SC2 since there is still no API to get a link to a profile page from the name#code. This data is only visible to registered members for privacy.
The resources tab on the main portal now has icons to represent each section, and all those section have undergone changes with new art, and some updated text. The most significant change is that the
SCII Members List has been superseded by the
Services ID List. This new list allows you to view which members are using any of the current services we have added to the clan by simply clicking on the icon of the service. This list is only accessible to members, again for privacy.
The last cosmetic change came about from my recent upgrade to the new iPad. I was disappointed in the appearance of our site on that display, so I decided from now on to make a good effort to double the resolution of images I use so they will look very sharp on high DPI displays. Here's a sample image below. When you view the full size at 100%, note the clarity of the clan logo and my avatar at the top, the FF13-2 logo in the post, and the resource icons on the right. It looks amazing on a 9.7" screen at that resolution! I just wish we had a high resolution theme to go with it.
With all these changes, it'll be quite simple to add Diablo 3 to the clan when it gets released in May. Spring Game Night will be starting a week or two late since I will be out of town this week and I'm not sure if I'll have the schedule ready in time. Make sure you check the
Winter Game Night attendance records for discrepancies.
I hope everyone enjoys the new changes and additions to the clan!
TL;DR VERSION:PSN, Steam, Skype added. Update your profile. Better graphics.
