EN Update Notes 12-23-2010

Wassup EN!

I have updated the forums appearance and modified the chatbox and the ticker (scrolling text) on the page as well. Here are the update notes:

• The categories have been reduced from 8, into 5. The ones that have been removed are:
  - EN Artist (Moved into the Music Category.)
  - News (Technology news moved into Technology Universe. Current Events moved into General Board.)
  - Computer Universe (Software & Hardware moved into Technology Universe.)
  - Gadgets & Gizmos (Everything moved into Technology Universe.)
  - Mature Talk (Conspiracy moved into General Board. All other forums are deleted. However... All the topics moved into Everything Else forum in the General Board category.)
  

• The new Categories are:
  - Technology Universe (All technology forums and topics has been moved into this category.)
  - Music (Everything music on EN has been moved into this category, including EN Artist. A new forum has been created called "Music Discussion" to talk about music and news related to he music industry.)
  

• The Chatbox no longer loads on EN as a separate frame. This means loading times have reduced. Also the Chatbox does not appear on all pages of EN, also improving loading. Currently it only displays on the Forum page. You can click the word "Chatbox" to have the Chatbox open in its own separate tab or window. This allows you to view the Chatbox while being anywhere on EN.
  

• The ticker (scrolling text) is now being displayed on all pages of The-EN.com. It also moves a lot smoother and the ticker stops scrolling when you hover your mouse over a link on it, allowing you time to click the link.
  

• New Rank system, less colors. Makes the site look more clean and easier to spot members from staff on EN.

I Hope you all enjoy these modifications. It allows EN to operate a lot more smoothly and load faster. The adjustments on the Forums and Categories has made it more effective to browse content on EN. Everything is more easier to find now with the way it has been categorized. Discuss & Discover more, only on The-EN.com!
