V6

[Mathew]

Actually looks pretty good to me. Naturally, I LOVE the new "Events Today" and the Habbox Today which rotates through all the departments. I like the moving toolbar when you go to click the tabs too.

Very nice indeed, imo. Great work :)

[Richie]

Props to whoever designed it, it looks nice. Thanks to whoever coded it. Overall for me its a little bit of a disappointment, I thought it was going to be like WOW! something really different, it has taken over a year to get this designed and coded so I expected more. Best of luck with it.

I really like the new layout, whoever did it did a fantastic job so thank-you :D!

[JerseySafety]

It's alright but I'm hoping to see future improvements. Didn't really blow me away but it's good. Well Done

[scott]

I think the habboxlive request line could be moved up and the forum posts moved bellow it but that's just me because you need to scroll ages down to get to the request line and if hxl is merging then I think it would be needed up a bit without having an account & customising. I think really only habbo news should be shown on the homepage, I don't think many people would go on a habbo fansite to see news about subway and stuff tbh.

You can do that yourself when you register

[Narnat,]

I like it, I think it looks a lot better than the old layout. But tbh I personally couldn't care less what it looked like as long as it does the job but thats just my opinion ;)

[scott]

yeah the moving stuff doesn't work for me though. and i'm pretty sure not many of the listeners will register up to a user system that all they get to do (at this moment anyway) is move around a few things.

I think you should be able to move things freely around the page as well rather than just up or down. I got rid of the news and all i had was a long line of stuff which would be much better looking if i was able to move it around and to the side because it looks stupid just in a line

I have registered :P I just don't think people would want to register for that. If they wanted the forum posts they would come on here. If HabboxLive is merging then it should have more of a presence on the page rather than away down there with the request line lol

[Martin]

Hmm is there any way to make the default setting (for unregistered users/unlogged in people etc) that only Habbo news displays in the front page. I kinda agree with Scott that really you would expect to see habbo news on a habbo fansite if it's your first visit and you dont know how to customise/dont want to register etc. It just makes it feel more like a habbo fansite I think. It's nothing major, but thats the way it was always done as to ensure that there is always habbo content/news on teh front page, since if you have a run of real life news that's it all filled.

wd to everyone involved in v6, it really is great

[Richie]

I agree, it's a little pointless to register to move things around. Also it's a little confusing, I registered and thought the only additional features where "change password" and "logout".

http://habbox.com/#/Rares/view/Throne lovely comments :P
& I don't think the "DJ: Ice" should be taken from the booked slot but rather the stream title of the DJ, if people are double DJing then they can't have both of their names on the stream title. Or if someone was covering then it would show the person who was booked habbo & dj name which will get rather confusing for listeners and staff as well.

[Richie]

Yeah, some guy called dj ice was on and I was like what the ****.. that sounds like an Australian girl

[HotelUser]

Registered members can post comments on rare values (as Scott has pointed out, towards my comments) and news. Also they're able to customize their homepage's widgets.

I've changed it to fish out the DJ name from the stream title. It's a shame though because to compensate for this alerts wont popup when the next DJ is coming on air. We will be looking for a better solution to this that works more nicely with scheduling.

Can you not take the next dj alert from the timetable as well? :O

[xxMATTGxx]

Can you not take the next dj alert from the timetable as well? :O

Isn't that what it was but if someone is covering then it would show the DJ who actually booked that slot. Unless that slot gets changed to the correct DJ surely? :P

[scott]

Normally we don't tend to know if someone is covering until the slot anyway so it's always planned that the DJ that is booked is going to be on. If we know in advanced that a DJ isn't going to make it then we will unbook their slot and let the DJ that's going on instead cover and book. It's the way it is on the hxl site atm it still grabs the habbo from the timetable but the stream title says who the actual DJ is anyway

[Hecktix]

Those saying there arent many features for registered members, please - remember this is the first beta release. As we've said time and time again this is a basic release and more will be added over time - features are going to be added to this site which will make it worth being registered.

Richie, your first post says this has been "designed" for over a year - that's bull ****, this site was designed in December/January - the specification released in October. That's not a year.

I think for an early beta release this is excellent, originally we weren't planning to release V6 until the latter end of next week but due to the Hx.com backups being corrupted we had to go with an early release, considering David has pretty much coded this single handedly I think it's damn impressive and I can't tell him what a brilliant job he's done. I remember working with him on the most basic of v6 designs in December/January and if I showed you some of the images you would be so shocked at the difference from what we had then to what's been released now, it's absolutely phenomenal. This site won't just be easier for users either, it's 100x more easier for staff with a more advanced yet more simple Habbox Today system, Habbox Jobs system, News System & Rare Values system.

Although you guys may think this beta release is quite simple to what you were expecting, this site will revolutionise Habbox and looking at the plans for V6 when it comes into more stable versions, this will be a site that provides things that no other Habbo fansite can - which is our ultimate aim at the end of the day.

Scott - you seem to be moaning an awful lot about HxL, get over it - HxL hasn't merged with Hx.com yet and when we do merge it will be a lot different, there'll practically be a setting where you can click "habboxlive" and your homepage will be set to suit HxL only. Stop being selfish towards one department, at the moment V6 is there to cover all departments and the widget list is good, however I did say this to David the other week - I think the competitions widget should be default also.

The comments about Habbo news being the default too - this should have also been the case, it was mentioned in a meeting the other day however it may have been missed as obviously this was an emergency early release, but yes - Habbo news should be the default and rl news or the "all news" widget should be all.

There's still a lot of work to do, as it's an emergency release our priority is getting staff used to it, then we need to advance stuff like the navigation and then further releases will add more features etc, from what I know more things should be added on quite a frequent basis - it's an ongoing project. If we had released it as one, all singing all dancing site not tested by the masses then let's face it it would flop on it's face, this way we can have the all new system (the back end system was coded just for habbox too, nobody else has this system) tested by the masses and then add more to it as we know it's stable. If we tried to make a seriously impressive site for first release and it flopped (which it would if we tried) you'd all be pissing yourselves at everything.

I cannot thank David enough for the work he's done on this site and seriously, just watch out for what's coming because it's gonna be impressive for a Habbo fansite.

[Grig]

I don't think that many people would be aware of what extra features they get when being registered so won't bother to register. I quite like it, what I like most of all is the new rare values layouts with the graphics etc. that's great. Of course, real life news shouldn't be there on the homepage, I'd only ever expect Habbo news, unless of course it was a massive real life news article.

You could also add more widgets on the side such as competitions and maybe even a twitter feed (seeing as everyone is going into the 21st century) and what not as there is still space on the side that you could fill there. It's not the absolute most 'WOW' layout I've seen out there, but a step up from what was there previously with Joomla.

[Partian]

I like the colour scheme and the layout HOWEVER the Staff List page is revolting, I think there should be a transition like fade in for each department
not the kind of 'spoiler' effect, other than that. I approve of it and HFFM seem jealous.

[Moh]

I'm not too keen on the layout, but the coding behind it is beautiful!

I'm not too sure if it's our mail sever or habbox's because I never got an activation key :(

[Richie]

Oli, maybe a year was me slightly over exaggerating. I haven't been keeping up with updates (I'm sure you guys have a good excuse why it was put on hold) version 6 has been mentioned for at least 6 months. I can remember seeing one or two updates of version 6 being announced well before January.

I think habbox has concentrated far too much on how to be unique rather than having an easy website to navigate through. I'd much rather prefer a simple website with all the features than a website with the same features put together in a more complex way. The rare values system in the past was allot better, it was easy to navigate, now it's all thrown together in a more complex way. Don't get me wrong, the website does look good but far too confusing. I've been using habbox for years, never experienced this problem. I suppose you guys want the website to look "up to date" but as I said easy navigating is the key. Sorry to whoevers idea I'm shooting down (rare values) but I'm just being honest, it was easier before, you should have just tweaked it a bit. Not only is the rare values page harder to navigate but it takes the piss to load at times and the page is huge.

Although the habbox website is down I don't think rushing into realising version 6 was a good idea. You guys should of tested it between yourselves before realising it to the public, there are / where far too many obvious bugs.

Habboxlive seems to have been shut out, the amount of content they have on habboxlive.com and bearly any of it has been added to version 6, I'm not sure if you're waiting or what's happening but I definitely think if habboxlive.com is merging with habbox.com you need to put more effort into habboxlive's side of things.

They say it's just an initial beta test, so everything will be kept to the utmost minimum and plans are to merge HabboxLive into the site, but yeh I kind of agree there's not even anything linking to the main HabboxLive website :S, how is anyone supposed to find out about events they organize when the site doesn't do that. Like Scotty said requests could also be located higher. It's these finite details that are important so I don't think you should wave it away just like that Oli.

Taking a second look at rare values it's annoying that the super rares section is gone too etc. Things are still classed as 'super', why has that whole section in itself disappeared and the navigation indeed has become more difficult in that section. I agree simplicity is the key to any website nowadays and I think the navigational concept towards v6 is actually good, but the way rare values is classed is awful, not the concept behind it, the concept of graphics is all fantastic, but like it all seems a mess with sections and categories all over the place.

Well, there is achually a link to HabboxLive if you scroll down to the bottom.

My personal opinion is that the page is too big and I don't like how they have done the rarevalues.

Grig if you click "Inventory" at the very top you will see more widgets that aren't loaded onto the home page as default. There is a widget for both twitter and competitions! :P

Oh, I never actually saw that. You're joking me, that has got to be the last place anyone would look on the site, I would much rather they move that to the navigator rather than putting it in a small blue hyperlink on the bottom left hand corner where no one would look.

@Matt: Oh, never noticed thanks. Maybe you could make a few more default ;p?

I quite like the new rare values system and looks a lot better than the older system but you are entitlied to your own opinion regarding that.

Although the habbox website is down I don't think rushing into realising version 6 was a good idea. You guys should of tested it between yourselves before realising it to the public, there are / where far too many obvious bugs.

This is the first beta release of version six, it was never going to have the full system and features and everything when it was going be released to the public. We are aware that this version may or does have bugs, that is why we get the community of Habbox to report them so they can be fixed. It's a lot easier having you guys, looking at the site and testing it then us who may miss them for whatever reason. So please do report the bugs in the bug tracker when you come across any of them in this first beta release. Hence why software gets released out on beta versions, take a look at how many beta versions Firefox 4 had and how many bugs it used to have and so on! :P




Habboxlive seems to have been shut out, the amount of content they have on habboxlive.com and bearly any of it has been added to version 6, I'm not sure if you're waiting or what's happening but I definitely think if habboxlive.com is merging with habbox.com you need to put more effort into habboxlive's side of things.

Not all content is added to Habbox at this moment in time, more will be added soon. In terms of HabboxLive not being mentioned anywhere, then maybe a link could be added nearer the top of the homepage so it does actually get shown. In regards of the request line (not your post), you can easily move them up and down at your ease. Although at the moment those settings do not save if you are not a registered user, maybe that could be changed but I'll wait and see what David says in terms of doing so.




Bold parts.


@Matt: Oh, never noticed thanks. Maybe you could make a few more default ;p?

The problem with that is, there will be too many of them by default and then it should be user choice on if they wanted them added and so on. Maybe too many as default would be too cluttered but if a user would like that, then they can easily add them?

[Grig]

Could someone at least still add a super rare section please. This category still exists, things are still known as 'super'.

[Conservative,]

I like it but as others have said Habboxlive is far too sidelined. I think a link from "Habbox" could work, as well as the forum. And moving things around as well - someone already said this but I don't like the way it's just all in one line. I'd like to have the request line and forum updates to the side and the rest centered but it won't let me (I removed the news widget).

[Mr-Trainor]

In reply to what Richie said about rare values, it might be easier if you use the 'graph page' - click the green/red arrow on any item to take you to it. That way, it's a lot easier to load and navigate imo, and it's more like the old version :).

It is but takes the piss to load. I think normal items are just clogging up the rare values. It's called rare values for a reason. It's not like you can give users much information on a pod it's not like they zoom up to a whole 3 coins. People only really need help with rares because you can't buy them out of the official catalogue, yeah they can buy them from the marketplace but they could get ripped off. I say scrap the normal furniture.

Twitter feeds has already been done :P na but really its sounds interesting but I'm sick of all the anticipation, everyone sets their standards high and then it's just one big disappointed, just do it if you're going to do it.

[Alex3213]

Right kk I've read a couple of posts here but mainly this is just going from my head.

Overall, it's excellent, I think for a first release the work has paid off and well done to David mainly for coding this all from scratch. Well done David.

However, that doesn't dodge the problems I have with the site! I certainly agree with the Habboxlive scenario, the request line is at the bottom, if I'm purely honest I'd expect it to be above the Habbox Today. I wonder how many requests there's going to be today as quite frankly it took me about 20 minutes to find it.

On that Habbox Today note, I don't like the transitions nor the randomised idea of it. I've seen Rare Values and HxHD about 5x more than Comps, Events and HxHD- if the forum has one I've never seen it and I've had it rotating since I've got up at like 8:45. Maybe have a rotation of however many there are but in that however many the way it goes is random? Not sure if that made sense. :P I also think it would be nice if they were pushed up when changing as an immediate switch looks ugly and personally I don't like the Habbox Today like that.

In addition, I agree with the sort of way people wouldn't sign up for widgets. 1) It's not publicly advertised. 2) It's the only feature. 3) It's complex to work it out, it took me a while to find out what the hell Robbie meant by the Competitions widget. Without being too greedy, I think it would be nice to have the Competitions listed on the page by default as Events and Competitions are of course what new users want: prizes.

On the other hand, I'm glad there is a Competitions widget. I thought "nah, this will never work" when I suggested it however David seemed to nail it on the head so well done to him, guess our consistent titles paid off! :P However, is it possible to put the dates in chronological order 'cos at the moment it is whoever's posted last and this does make it look a little tacky on the actual site? If you could, that would be excellent. I was gonna bring up another idea but if Jin didn't understand before (although it wasn't toooo hard to understand) there's no point doing it with so little time. :P

Also, just out of interest? Where are the job openings or aren't they there at the moment? It'd be nice to see how that page works now as with comps apps open atm (hint hint ;)), it would be nice to know.

Is there any way to implement HxF smilies on here? Sometimes we do use smilies in our competitions and because V6 hasn't noticed them, there's just a big space, such as in one of my competitions. Again that would be a nice feature to include.

I applaud you on the Rare Values part purely because of the amount of effort sorting out all the images Dan, David and Luke all put in, well done. I'm not too keen on normals being included too, however, it just means more categories and it means more space wasted looking for your category. Normally it's common sense to work out how much a norm is worth. Especially as some of them haven't even been updated yet! :P

*breathe out*

Fantastic job though guys and it'll be nice to see further developments! :)

I was gonna bring up another idea but if Jin didn't understand before (although it wasn't toooo hard to understand) there's no point doing it with so little time. :P

Also, just out of interest? Where are the job openings or aren't they there at the moment? It'd be nice to see how that page works now as with comps apps open atm (hint hint ;)), it would be nice to know.

Is there any way to implement HxF smilies on here? Sometimes we do use smilies in our competitions and because V6 hasn't noticed them, there's just a big space, such as in one of my competitions. Again that would be a nice feature to include.

I applaud you on the Rare Values part purely because of the amount of effort sorting out all the images Dan, David and Luke all put in, well done. I'm not too keen on normals being included too, however, it just means more categories and it means more space wasted looking for your category. Normally it's common sense to work out how much a norm is worth. Especially as some of them haven't even been updated yet! :P

*breathe out*

Fantastic job though guys and it'll be nice to see further developments! :)

There is a job oppenings page once you click on Habbox on the navigator :P

Oh yeah one more thng, what would be good is to change the colours of the names (excluding moderation). An unbolded for non-staff (or staff but do not need the actual site), dark green for staff, light green for manages and lime for GM. It just makes it consistent and less confusing :P

I like the colour scheme and the layout HOWEVER the Staff List page is revolting, I think there should be a transition like fade in for each department
not the kind of 'spoiler' effect, other than that. I approve of it and HFFM seem jealous.
LOL what, noone at hffm has noticed it. :P

anyway imo some of the colours clash such as the dark blue and the orange, and it looks a bit too much like davzy which annoys me LOL

in general, it's okay.. i'm a bit let down tho LOL

Probably because dave made it?

I can understand the disappointment tbh. Regardless of how long v6 has actually took (October), there was 'unofficial' talk of it long before that so after all that wait, I imagine people were always going to be disappointed with all the hype surrounding it. As it's only a beta release, there's much more to come (I'm particularly excited bout something... and no stop being dirty minded... and its not about comps either!). I love the Habbox Today thing especially the competitions graphic, about time I was recognised as King.

short version: I can understand disappointment with all the hype but don't be just yet cos this is just a beta!

[Mark]

At the end of the day, it's Version 1 beta, all the features have to be added and there is no need for the moaning about what you can and can't do because really if you have a major problem, post in the V6 Bug Tracker forum.

I also think there could be a stuck thread in this Forum that could be for ideas about V6 or whatever

[tylermunjkt]

I like it tbh. There are a few bits that are needing some work but except from that its good. I liked both rv, old and new. Well done gm's!

[wackojacko]

You dont have to register to do it ;) i havent and i moved it all arround

[Robbie]

Why can't you reset your password? For some reason it says the password I'm entering is incorrect when I know what it was and I had to enter it twice...

Edit: nevermind but now it says I need to update my password and I'm entering one with more than 8 characters, a capital and a number but it still says not suitable.

In response to everything about RV. Pretty shocked it's had some negativity, i thought it was a GREAT improvement. Yeah the navi is hard to navigate through, i'll take that on board and see what we can do.

For a year now alot of people have been saying 'Rare Values... what the point?' so in V6 i wanted to vastly change how people look at it, it's got a new scope to it. Rather than just being based on values it's also based on content, information and interaction (clickable and rotatable images on select items for now). We can't stay the same forever, we need to adapt and evolve with what has happened with RV, rather than sit around and stay the same and then ultimately die off.

I can speak to David about this, and maybe this is a way we can improve it:

Normal Rare and Super Rare items have been tagged, so you can view what is what, i could see if David could make it so you can customize the way inwhich you view these pages. Like you select that you want to see the pages in terms of 'Super Rares' 'Normal Rares' and then another page with all the categories on, a bit like the old way tbh. But then we'll also have the current V6 way too. I have a new idea on how to simplify the Navi, i'll base it like the Habbo Catalog.

I also understand that the name 'Rare Values' could be quite misleading now. But with the way i'm going to get the navigation changed, this should become a little less misleading.

It looks okay, but 2 things completely ruin it for me, like absolutely ruin the look of the site.
First thing is the clouds at the top that are moving, I hate those clouds because I think they look cheap and samesy to other fansites. Also that background background with the plants is terrible. It's used by so many sites/forums that it makes the whole layout, in my opinion, looks less and less original.

Not trying to slate the whole layout, but without the two things I just mentioned I do like the layout quite a bit :) there are some nice little pieces to it :)

oh and I love the new Rare Values System

[Jin]

Regardless of whether people are aware of upcoming blah blah blah.

It is finally good to be off joomla :D I could do a happy dance right now.

Please note the style will be the last thing to change. The priority is functionality (and bugs). I did outline this in previous threads. I doubt we will even look at the style until we are in our first solid stable version.

I LOVE it. I was so glad to get away from the broken v5 values.

[Mathew]

So much pressure on events to make sure that timetable is full now omg :'(!!! Impressive, really.. very good indeed. I've PM'ed Dave with a couple of problems but nothing major at all. You can really tell that it's been made with staff in mind, it's so much easier to do things now. I like it, a lot.

I've passed on concerns about the RV Navigation. Looking to further subcategorise them under 3/4 main categories (Rares, Collections and Norms) and then when you click one of them it expands out into the rest of the categories. So clickind 'Rares' will show all the categories like 'Dragons', "Classic Rares" etc etc etc. All the categories under each main category will be alphabetized, making it even easier to find your category.

Also suggesting a way in which you can customize how you see the RV's. If you want it like the old style (where you can view all Supers/normals on one page) then we can try do that.

The Habboxforum and Habboxlive tabs should be on the nav bar, not the bottom of the website.

Agreed with this. Maybe under the 'Habbox' tab if there isn't room anywhere else.

Under "Habbox" both "Forum" and "Radio" are located.

We couldn't fit both on the primary navigation so (for the moment, atleast) they're under the Habbox subcategory.

Please please please make the transaction on the Habbox Today smoother (Like 5 seconds instead of 10 and make it go in order (I have seen about 10 of the HxL ones in the last 2 mins :P)

Now that I look at it the rare values wouldn't be bad at all if it was broken into smaller parts like before, I like the idea of all the information I just don't like how it's all thrown together on one page. I'd say 4 categorys max.

[luce]

having been around for god knows how many versions i think this one is actually really nice and seems to be working ok, i like this habboxlive box and the comp section is really helpful aswell :)

Richie i've asked David to make it so that we'll have 3 Categories 'Rares', 'Collections' and 'Norms'. By clicking one of these categories it will expand out into the other Sub-categories within that main category, these sub-categories will be in alphabetical order too.

If we just had all the values on 4 pages, the pages would probs crash. If you try searching just a blank space in the search box, i doubt your browser shall respond for a while ;).

Also the items are all tagged as [super] [normalrare] or [norm]. I've asked for a feature where you can like click 'Supers' and it will show all the supers on one page, a bit like how the old RV system worked.

I hope this makes the navigation easier, as that seems to be the main problem, which i kinda agree with now. After using this RV system for about 4 months, i've got used to that navigation so i kinda didn't notice it would be such an annoyance.
