Search Update

Closed

(Administrator)

There were a few changes to the site today, mainly in the navigation. At the moment, the search bar is enabled on the homepage and forum. It searches based on the current page, so if you're browsing the forum, it searches thread titles, and if you're browsing open giveaways, it searches the titles of open giveaways. It's searching for everything you type, although the order is irrelevant, and words can be incomplete. For example, one isode would still bring up Half-life Episode One giveaways. There were also a few tweaks to site URLs to keep them nice and clean. Depending on your browser, the search box should automatically update the URL. Last but not least, there's an ad in the header. It'll be the only advertisement on the site, and it exists to help cover the cost of the new dedicated server. They might not be the most targeted ads at the moment, but I'll work on them. In the future, the navigation will also have drop down menus. It'll allow us to keep things organized, and give us a chance to work in the wishlist, sync, and faq links.

If you have any issues with the update, or suggestions, let us know. Thanks!

How about adding your name with avatar on the page on right like it was before, so you could easily and fast go to your profile?
Also good job with this!

Thanks, I'll try to make it happen soon, but for the time being, I just setup the points to link to your profile.

The dropdown menu idea is great, and would love to see that implemented as soon as possible.

A link under account to "Sync" and "Profile" would be best in my opinion, and then manage could have sub-categories for Giveaways, Entries, and Won.

Great work though cg, keep it up!

dropdown menus, cool

maybe something like

Manage->(Created->(New,Coming Soon,Open,Closed),Entries->(New,Open,Closed),Won)

But what about arranging their tables

and forum categories?

Edit: I am also very impressed with how smooth the search function works. I hate using search functions that are half retarded.

Do you only get paid if we click on the ads?

Google is fickle when it comes to AdSense and detecting suspicious activity. Though, you also have "impressions" for ads, so there is no need to click an ad every time you visit the site.

I have a suggestion actually. Can we see which giveaways we have joined? I want to see the results, and I can't find them once I join :))

This has existed for a long time, go to manage your giveaways section, and go to the "entries" section
