lunarsoft Lunarsoft has completed the change to a new frontpage
Tarun posted a topic in Announcements
First I’d like to say welcome to the all new frontpage on Lunarsoft! I think you’ll find that this frontpage software will work a lot better. This has been in development behind the scenes for some time now. It seems like it’s been years since I made the change to the previous software. While it feels that way, it’s actually been almost nine years. Multiple days have gone into finding the right look, making the proper optimizations, and making sure things load fast! Because who wants to wait for a page to load? I sure don’t. You may notice the load times have improved even though the page is a bit larger. The page will load faster and make fewer requests. The frontpage is live now and the same content that you viewed before will still be available, too! I’ll still be working behind the scenes to optimize things more. You shouldn’t feel alarmed if you see the page looking broken. If you encounter any issues please let me know. Providing a screenshot, link, and your browser information will help a lot. Just hop onto the forums and make a post. A new frontpage means more work is coming You read that right. I’ll be working more on getting everything optimized as best I can. The downloads are back though I don’t think they’re as great as they were before. As a result of the change I have not added the other downloads back. I will look into doing this in the future. I will say that because of this change I will have a lot more work to do here on Lunarsoft. Most of it will be involving getting new images and checking over the old content. Due to this my responses may be delayed. I sincerely hope that everyone truly enjoys the new frontpage software here on Lunarsoft! -

A recent update has come out for the StopForumSpam hook that is used here. It allows for better control and handling of potential spammers. This includes allowing potential false positives or those who are linked to an IP that at one time was spam to still register. There will be a few tests done with this new update to find what works optimally. As always, if you see a spam post or even a potential spam post please report it. Don't reply to the spammer or comment on how the automated spam bot has bumped a thread, etc.
