ATS 2010 Update?

Am I ever happy I opened this thread .

I love the new preview, it looks outstanding.

It seems a bit flash heavy though with the tabs?

Perhaps that's just the way it looks on paper, I can't wait to test it out.

SO, you said there would be a beta version for the staff, any chance of an opt in by some members?

There is no Flash.

Wonderful, I hate flash with a passion. It's such a lazy way of web development. Sure it's pretty, but that's the extent of it.

Thanks for taking the smart way.

Looks really nice
I noticed there is no chat button?
Is that going to be located somewhere else
or is that going to be a surprise?

Correct.

Chat will be replaced by a more widely-available mutter.

oooooo saweet!
thanks Bill..

THX for all the hard work guys, looks like a massive job.

That said, mutter for the full inmates of the asylum...... sigh~

And the green is a little reptilian (70s green reptilian fashions), but otherwise, me likes, and look forward to it. Hopefully more streamlined for users for both ats and bts, and it will be less headaches managing all those servers

Cheers Zazz.

OK people, move along... Nothing to see here!

Thanks for sharing the previews. Looks really good, and the changes mentioned all sound like good ideas. You all have clearly put a lot of thought and effort into this. Looking forward to the thing going live. Cheers.

I am in the dark mostly because I am new, but could someone tell me please what mutter is?
thanks NSG52

On the right side you will find the BTS Mutter

I love the recent posts page, look awesome. Do you think you could use the 'file tab' look at the top of the page as well in the Gear, Store, Podcast, AboveTopSecret.com area?

Actually, it looks really cool!

I like what you did with BTS and the tab option to keep it separate.

I've been skerred too! But it looks good! And thanks so much for the preview, guys. A real anxiety-reducer.

Is there going to be an "ATS Conspir-wear-see" shop so that I can get me a bumper sticker and a T shirt finally?

Feel free to use that name for the shop if ya want, send me a T shirt for credit.

......The link has never worked as far as I can tell, the following is all I get when I click on it:

Sorry, we couldn't find adserver.abovetopsecret.com...

I love the new design, it looks great!

I do have one small concern though that I have created a separate thread for. It's a small petition to preserve the flash chat for prosperity sake and to delight the 20-30 members that frequent it daily (myself being one of them). A link to it doesn't have to be on the main page, or within the regular navigation at all.

But if it still exists, we would appreciate it. It's just that we consider it a home within a home and we would like to preserve it to a degree if at all possible.

YOU cant replace chat with mutter. replacing chat with mutter is like replacing a Mercedes with a smart car.

yea its smaller and more efficient but its got nothing else going for it.

chat has survived, flood, fire, earthquake, the GFL, the wiki leaks, and so much more. you cant replace it with mutter.

just raise awareness about chat and they will come. i guarantee you if you just put a small message on the sides about chat, that thing will be overflowing in days.

mutter is just meh. nothing special.

The Previews look great. I'm not very clued up on Computer Programming, but i've heard that it is a massive amount of work to completely re-code a site such as this.

Hats off to everyone involved! Cant wait to use the new ATS.
