The Orain guys (a wonderful gentleman named addshore in particular) just fixed a ton of things on their servers, and we can now have the following new features:
Voting: We now have a voting feature where you click on a bar with one to five stars to give a page a rating. We haven't completely figured out the best way to use this, but we were planning on incorporating it on a reviews subpage space.
Blogs: This feature has been enabled, but I'll need to set up a few things first to make creating blog posts easier, but it is indeed enabled. More information on this once I get it set up.
Better looking sidebar menus: Our current sidebar menus are based on a dull but servicable template, and we now have the ability to have really nice looking expandable and editable sidebar menus. I'll have to run a bot to get the ones we currently have converted, but once that happens, I plan to modify our templates to make inserting new ones a breeze.
Trope and YMMV items highlighter: Vorticity and I worked out a custom extension that will hightlight all Trope items in green text and all YMMV items in orange yellow . We plan to make this toggable via gadget in your user preferences.
One feature is functional but slightly buggy right now:
Polls: We have this enabled, and they mostly work as intended, but they show some database hash data on the pages they are displayed on that looks ugly and out of place. We'll probably have to wait for this to be bugfixed before we can make more use of it.
If anyone has any comments or suggestions regarding our new features, please don't don't hesitate to share.
