Do something BIG Habbox!

[Kyle]

Fully given up helping at comps and HxL now so unless someone asks me to step in... SO WEIRD.

do they not want you to help?

Ah yes the site widget. We should be able to get that changed - I shall have a look later on today to see which forums have been allowed to show up on there.

TBH from an outsiders perspective, ignoring spam, if I was to see everyone ***** and moan about what the site should or shouldn't do, and all sorts of stuff like that it probably isn't the most inviting thing ever, that's all

No I understand what you are saying - I'll just double check what's been allowed/blocked and change it as necessary. Will get back to you with the results on that one.

I think she meant before she became AGM she was part of the Comps and HabboxLive and stayed a bit when she got the new role. I could be wrong though.

Are you talking about your other posts in this thread? If so then I have explained I don't need to reply to each one as long as I have read them. If you are on about your most recent post then I have replied to it. If you really want a reply to your other posts then let me know and I'll personally go through them and reply.

No you didn't you just had a go at me for not liking people then said a load of tosh about nothing being perfect and pushing things to the back, that's not an answer about what V7 is supposed to entail at all

Cool, just making sure for the new Habbox Structure thing in a few days.

Edit:

Since when did you actually ever give a real answer about anything to do with v7?

I thought I replied to that part asking you what your question was as I remember typing it out. Apologies for missing that out: Anyway, what is your question in regards of V7? I can answer any of them apart from release dates due to the fact we don't actually have one.

[Blinger]

Oops also, the "Updated Live" is a bit misleading, to me that means it auto-refreshes, which it doesn't seem to

[FlyingJesus]

I thought updating the main site WAS v7

My two last posts before you berated me for something that wasn't even related. My post before those was about events funding, which you also have not responded to so I'm not sure what it is that you think you've clarified

The question is what on earth is it even supposed to be? Other than a new site skin and rearranging some links I can't see what it is we've really pinning our hopes on for the past however many years waiting for this magic fix to all our problems

What do you mean by that exactly? Updating can be mean different things depending on the context. Whatever the Content Department are working on at this moment isn't related to the progress of V7.

Your question about funding for Events was answered by Lewis. I've also not seen any messages about the department in general needing any funding - Unless it went to Sam directly. If Lewis needs credits then I am more than welcome to give them some from what I have. @Mk,;

V7 is built on a completely different platform and system V6 is currently using. It will bring a new layout to Habbox you are correct but the plan for V7 is to make it easy for the staff members who use the site as well. (News, Content, HxL, RVR, HxHD) with a whole new staff panel that is no longer complicated to use. It might be bit hard to understand unless you have experienced it as a site staff user who has to use it on a daily basis. Not just the back end which is important but also front-end changes to make it easier for people who visit the site.

It will also make it easier for us to add new features and also put changes into place as at the moment V6 is confusing and complicated in the back end and coding wise. You may have also noticed that V6 can be quite slow in terms of loading at times and that was also one of the reasons why we wanted to get away from it when we can due to the amount of queries it requests when people use the site.

With the launch of V7 would also the close of HabboxLive as a separate website and would bring it all under one roof.

Short Story: It's hard to do anything on V6 and we need a new site where we are able to do it with ease and where there isn't a huge amount of bugs.

The whole magic fix to all of our problems isn't the case - It will help the departments that use it as they will be able to do more. But for the rest of Habbox that's a different situation.

So why was it so often (before it became a joke) spoken about by management as though it would be the answer to all our prayers and that nothing can be changed without it? Simple things like linking news and forum, badge guides, guest commenting (despite it being a crap idea), wiki updates, graphic designs, and somehow even a slew of community based ideas have all been shot down in the past because supposedly v7 was going to fix it all and often it's even been claimed by staff that they've been stopped from doing certain changes and necessary updates because they had to wait for v7.

We've pretty much lost news by now and the Hx/HxL merge which seems to be one of the biggest parts of v7 isn't even that big an issue any more because HxL has picked itself up so well since its slump when the project began; we appear to have outgrown v7 before it's even arrived
