What was every wrong with the old Habbox Layout?

[HotelUser]

The one that was here in the beginning of 2006 and since Habbox started I loved it, kind of late to post this, but why did they change it?

A lot of fansites change the layouts, lol. Imo the one now is better than the old one.

But yeah, they do change over time.

It's a matter of accessibility, you see, Habbox now use a revolutionary back-end system called Joomla! which makes it much easier to update and much more user-friendly.

I think i've got the wrong end of the stick here. Does he mean layout as in, site layout.. e.g forum skin that type of layout or am I just being a moron lol

[Aflux]

Sorted if he meant Habbox.com but if not, explain more

Joomla is a CMS. CMS stands for content management system. It does what its called. Lots of people can manage different things in the system. This means people can be restricted to different things ie posting / editing news / articles / pages etc. The things that can be done with a CMS are quite vast.

I'm not an idiot I know what a CMS is, LMAO!

It's not really that easier to update I would think, the old one was just cutenews with frames- Not that hard

And I know lots of fansites change there layouts, but not Habbox

Basicaly lazyness, joomla requests next to no effort to work, while an actualy site requred people with brains in order to actualy write the systems used for the content and keep it all working. Joomlas much more, upload, click install, and click a few buttons based. Just easyer if your not to bothered about haveing your own website and just want to put content online "/

Actually joomla requires much more effort than the old layout, but once you got things working it is easier to add content.
