July 31st - What's new, what's changed, and what needs work?

Bungie.net continues to grow and evolve, and today marks the latest wave of changes. [url=http://www.bungie.net/7_Bungienet-Site-Update-for-July-31st/en/Forum/Post?id=61373678#referred-Community]DeeJ gave a brief overview here[/url], but those of you needing more visual aid may have a gander below. Feel free to mention anymore you may find. [b]What's New?[/b] [spoiler]• [url=http://i.imgur.com/IHtpnaZ.png]The long awaited post preview[/url] will pop up [url=http://i.imgur.com/V7GzFX4.png]an additional window[/url] showing how your post will look. It's must faster and efficient than before, but be sure to open any links in a new tab. • The NavMenu has received an overhaul. Now you can view [url=http://i.imgur.com/ShwNhdD.png]Destiny media[/url] and [url=http://i.imgur.com/Yoi8Q5Y.png]Latest News snippets[/url] at a glance. The [url=http://imgur.com/zKxsc4e]Bungie Store[/url] is also visible in this fashion. • [url=http://i.imgur.com/g3yLcJ3.png]You can also spotlight search for a group from here[/url]. [/spoiler] [b]What's Changed?[/b] [spoiler]• Did you know there was a Bungie blog? Most didn't, [url=http://i.imgur.com/GHLjUaj.jpg]so now it's peeking upwards and revealing itself[/url]. The Pre-Order button also comes forward* • Forums have migrated [url=http://i.imgur.com/0ueHmIh.png]to the top of the window[/url]. They also scroll with you as you move towards the bottom of the page. • Similarly, group links are [url=http://i.imgur.com/s6TT9kY.png]also displayed on the top.[/url], which creates [url=http://i.imgur.com/4bqIYoA.png]more real estate for threads.[/url] • [url=http://i.imgur.com/7JZfewG.png]Group/Tag sort is now more organized.[/url] • [url=http://i.imgur.com/UseBtIT.png]Notification settings now accessible from its window.[/url] • [url=http://i.imgur.com/l9YwvHs.png]Avatars change in PM's depending on who sent the message and how many participants there are. The bar also changed.[/url] • The follow button for a tag/forum are [url=http://i.imgur.com/vLd5h5v.png]more pronounced[/url] • The social networking and sharing links have moved [url=http://i.imgur.com/fiaY7kz.png]underneath the Comment links[/url]. [/spoiler] [b]What May Still Need Work?[/b] [spoiler]• Group forums now have a lot of awkward negative space. Perhaps include a sidebar for pinned threads? • Dark Theme makes the grey behind group posts very bright and difficult to see. Same with group search. • Posts that are cancelled during an edit disappear completely. • *Pre-Order option throughout forums may be distracting. • The Mobile App could use embedded image scaling [/spoiler] Do you feel that these improve the site or make it more difficult to use?

  • Is it just me, or is the bottom-right corner that's cut out of the menu for News, Explore Destiny, and Forums at a slightly different angle in each one? Yes, this is my only major complaint. Don't judge.
