Within the next couple of weeks or so, we will be rolling out two important changes to the site that are designed to make GameReplays easier to navigate, and to make clans a more prominent feature of the site.
1. New Menu The first change is a brand new customizable menu and live search feature. The live search is limited to forums and portal sections (it will not search through posts or topics, as the goal is to make it easy to get to any of GR's 1,000+ forums), but it will start producing results as you type.
Any link that shows up in the list can be added to your own custom menu, allowing you to build a menu that is tailored to your browsing habits on GR.
Additionally, the menu will automatically list links to the last 20 topics, and last 20 replays you've visited, with new post indicators that make it easy to see which topics/replays have new replies since your last visit.
Lastly, the menu now opens instantly, instead of the slight delay of the current menu. The custom menu is available only for registered members. Guests will see the current menu.
A sample custom menu. The left column is your custom links which you can freely add/remove. It automatically categorizes them for you.
Sample menu with live search. Results will appear as you type. Clicking on the green or blue '+' icons will add the link or the entire category to your menu.
2. Clan Forums Clan forums are being moved back into each game section's forum index, but only the clans relevant to that game will show up. In otherwords, if a clan has set their primary game to Company of Heroes, then that clan will only show up in the CoH forum index, and not the other game sections.
While some clans do have multi-game divisions, their forums will only show up in whichever game they have designated as their primary. This is for technical and usability reasons.
However, if you are a member of a clan, your clan's forum will show up at the top of the clan forum category no matter which game section you're browsing.
The goal of this change is to make clans a more prominent and community-oriented feature of GameReplays, and will be just the first of several major upgrades the clan system will be receiving in the coming months!
