Polishing stuff
Website Update 5.2 is now live! It comes with new content and we also ran some bug fixes based on community feedback. In this post we take you through everything you need to know about the update.
New content and pages
Along with the update come some new features and pages for our website. Our plan is to add more cool new stuff in the future to keep the community engaged with each other and with the website, so stay tuned for that one. The new content and pages we added for now are:

LANDING PAGE & PASSWORD RESET
Our website now has a landing page where you can first choose to enter the website as a visitor or login as a member. We also added a “reset password” option to the member login field, something that remained absent until now and was a common request by the community to be added.

COMMS ROOMS
Brand new is the comms section, sort of a to the max-stripped-down forum where members can engage in conversations, discuss the latest game news, or set up game sessions. There are different comms channels and we will add more in the future. Suggestions are welcome!

SERVERS
On the servers page you can find all the official TDI game servers throughout different games and platforms. You can view information like which members are server admin, what game modes and maps are being run and a server status.
Bug Fixes and Design
Beside the content that came with this update, we also made some changes to the design of the website for an even better UI experience. On top of that, we ran multiple bug fixes based on community feedback we received after the previous update. The changes and fixes are:
Main Menu/Navigation
– Reorganised pages. Contact pages are now combined in a sub menu. Website features like videos and comms likewise.
– Added a My profile sub menu for direct actions.
Overall
– Changed website background image.
– Added new button designs for internal and external links.
– Changed colour schemes for content boxes. White is for text, Dark grey is for highlighted content, Cyan and Black for dropdown menus.
Home page
– Changed the design of the Assignments box. Stats notifications are now longer shown in this box. Browse to the notifications page to view them. The Assignments box now shows the amount of available assignments and a link to the Assignments page.
News page
– Applied the new colour schemes to previous posts.
Members page & interface
– Fixed a problem when trying to edit your profile it showed an error resulting in a cropped screen of the website.
– Fixed a problem when trying to upload a profile banner or profile image you couldn’t get passed the point where you have to crop your image.
– Fixed a problem when logged in, you have to log in again to comment on pages and posts.
– Removed activity tab from member profile tabs. Comms can now be found on the new Comms page.
– Added new play styles to select in the profile customisation.
– Added an option in the profile customisation where you can select your status to be active or inactive.
– Added a button in the members list to directly request, accept and cancel friendships. You can also still request friendships on each member profile.
Competitive pages
– Reduced the amount of different top performances show on the Overview page.
– Combined the assignments and stats notifications highlight box shown on the overview page into one box.
– Changed the design of the dropdown navigation for all the statistics to a more compact version.
– Applied the new colour schemes on all competitive pages.
– Added a new UI for the team stats and member stats. Click the dropdown bar for each type of team stat or different member and it will show their stats. You can still view the classic UI (where it shows all statistics in one table) by clicking on the Classic Table dropdown bar on the bottom of each statistics page.
– The About Statistics section (where you can read how the rankings and points system work) now has it’s own page, rather than to be shown on each statistics page, and is added to the dropdown navigation for all the statistics.
About Us page
– Redesigned total page from scratch and applied the new colour schemes.
– Updated the introduction message.
– Updated the social links and buttons.
– Updated the management list.
– Added a list of active games being played at the moment by TDI.
– Added a community history timeline.
For the future
We are still working on some additional UI designs, those are;
– We are in progress of making extra ranking filters for each member stat.
– We will still plan on redesigning the match reports and All Matches page.
Your help matters!
We worked hard to realise all the above and we will continue to act based on what you guys have to say! If you run into any more issues or bugs, please let us know through comms. Use the Briefing Room on the Comms page to share your feedback.
Use the other comms or comment on this post if there is anything else you want to share with us or other members.
