GP Gets Extreme Makeover
GP Gets Extreme Makeover
May 12, 2008
We are currently in the process of moving to a completely redesigned GamePolitics site as well as to a different host, RackSpace.
To go with our new look, we'll have more capacity to handle the increased reader traffic and a better, cleaner interface. We've tried to incorporate feedback from GP readers into the new design. So, yes, you will be able to edit your comments!
This could happen tonight, possibly tomorrow. So if we experience a little downtime, please bear with us...

Valdearg: They beat the parliamentary trick. The senate bill is officially law, pending the President's signature. Now they vote on the fixes to that bill, in the next 15 minutes or so.

Valdearg: Dont sound so depressed, Gelly. This bill will help people get healthcare, who can't now. It's a perfectly Christian idea.

Something about that made me nearly choke on my coffee from laughing...
About damn time.
Because I err was joking about it before, you understand that right?
If you mean the livejournal one then yes I do remember (in fact you can still find all our archived discussions there).
Especially for those of us who remember the LJ days >.
Please I need an answer.
GP: I think you will like it... that's all I'm gonna say for now. It's not an LJ, that's for sure...
GP: - yeah, I'm adding them to the spammer list at this point.
I don't know what this site looked like before its last update.but it sounds cool!What's the big deal with the edit button?
T wod alow uo to red ths sntence bcs I wuoled bee able too edit it for correctness.
Hella! No more SPAMBOT!
Violets are blue
Old version of GP
I will miss you
Yeah. That's why it sucks when comments get pulled;You have all these responses to something that's not there anymore.
I can see why people love and hate the idea of an edit button. I know we've all submitted a comment without looking it over for correct spelling and/or grammar, but it never really bothered me too much. It made people seem real. The only real problem is that someone might completely change an earlier comment making following commenters look like asses. Think we can have a quote button?
though I'll be curious to see if we get threaded comments back. This linear format has really killed complex discussion.
Looking forward to the new look.
Do we all now get to feel like old timers, just because we remember the WordPress site?
I;m afraid the LiveJournal one was before my time...
I SECOND THAT NOTION!!!
You win the Internet, GoodRobotUs.
The gods of Edit will walk amoungst us once more!! (wonder if it has better control to ban the annoying types though)
Hey Dennis, does he-who-shall-not-be-named get a "personalized" version of the new site? Say with a GTA theme? ;)
Seconded.
We should have that.
These are probably concerns I should've raised before the day you're turning over the design...
Don't mind me. I'm just testing stuff.
Andrew Eisen
Another test.

Can you bring back separation of usernames and full names, please? I'm feelin' kinda unsophisticated here.
Also, trying to switch between no-formatting and full or filtered HTML on the fly seems to bust things up -- my text went from bold to plain in between previews, and it still wasn't reading tags properly. In fact, html seems to be generally broken. My signature doesn't want to play nice, either. Not saying it's so bad to have button-enabled formatting, but I like knowing where my italics end and my bold begins (although maybe this solves that old problem where an unclosed tag made the rest of the comments go crazy.)
Definitely approve of the preview and edit buttons, tho.
Also, this post should've been a reply to my last one. Could've been a problem on my end.The Mammon Industry
Yep, another test.
I can do this all day.
Andrew Eisen
Edit: Edit test.
candy-red lollipop! Now throw some D's on that bitch.
This page is not Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict!
Also, why are the fonts so frickin tiny?
Very nice Dennis.
"I'm not responcabel fer my comuter's spleling errnors." -- Xlorep DarkHelmThe captcha thing however, failed to load both times I loaded the page and I ahd tro right click and reload the image itself in order to get it to show up. Also, the quality on the image itself is total crap and is really hard to see... And I say that as someone who can see fine in the distance from himself to the monitor.
To be honest... and I don't mean to sound pushy... I'd reccomend removal of the feture and just killing spambots by hand. The problems with the new system need to be ironed out.
I just spent a good deal of time trying to get past the CAPTCHA in the Late Show article. It failed on my 10+ times because it's so small. It wasn't really tested for higher resolutions. It's such a pain.
(Failed Once on this post)
@GP:
FYI, some of the comments are scrambled as to order of receipt (e.g.,, the string following the article posting T2's Complaint against the CTA).
