Hi everyone,

Just to let you know development has now restarted and is well in gear.

We've got a new issue tracker set up on our side and new features are currently under development. A lot of effort is being put into thoroughly testing and, in places, revamping, existing features, but more will be put into new features.

I'm currently considering a re-branding for the site and additionally will be shortly registering the company officially.

I've also fixed a few long-standing bugs to the site - The forum homepage no longer has a number of duplicated 'Chat' section, users now receive money from sold items (and all previous transactions have been re-ran to correct this).

Additionally, now you receive a 100 bux signup bonus (Which has been retrospectively credited to existing accounts) and 25 bux per day sign-in bonus.

The transactions page is currently under development and can be accessed by clicking your bux at the top of the page. At the moment, item sales and purchases are just given by item ID, but soon this will be replaced with item name and a link.

Woohoo! :-)

Coming today:

Permissions revamp, new admin features. I expect:

-> Item approval process to be mostly done
-> Moderators to be able to delete, wipe, stick, and lock forum threads.
-> User banning & email approval

To be done by end of day.

Was a bit optimistic.

I've instead decided to focus on a better front-end for rank and permission adjustment, which should be done by the weekend. Then forum controls, then item and user lockdown :)

Updates sound amazing. I've been keeping an eye on the development of Gamer-Island for some time now Ashley and it's coming along fantastically! By any chance would it be any bother for me to drop you an E-Mail directly when you are available Ashley?

Of course. If you check your messages I just sent you one with my email address in it.

nb to users: message sending isn't functional yet, but it should be within a week or so. Replying will be a bit later as I want it to be threaded properly.

Still no Bux-login bonus. :-(

Hopper:

That shouldn't be the case :( are you sure you're not receiving any?

Never mind, it's fixed now. :)
