This week some technical changes have occurred to NRX. Firstly a new modification has been installed for MK Portal called URL Rewrite. This modification has changed the sites dynamic urls into much cleaner urls. You will probably notice this as you view the site. A URL Rewrite modification was installed on the forum but there were some hiccups so it has been removed. This modification may make a return in the future. Also note the new page titles as you browse the site, they have been improved with some programming by me. To top it all off we now have a site map, all of these changes will improve search engine optimization for NRX.

Over the next two weeks I plan on doing some changes to the forum RPG and layout. These changes will only be slight but I am sure that everyone will pick them up at some stage.

You may have recently noticed a few changes with the site layout. These are to make the site much more accessible for everybody. We have a new cleaner looking header. The site content is organised into distinguishable groups on the left side and the member options and community information are all on the right side. A few blocks have been moved around to create some balance on either side. A Site map link has been included at the bottom of the page as well. If you have any more suggestions on how we can improve the design then let Nexus or myself know. A few more quick edits may occur in the near future.

This week we have 2 new wallpapers based on some hot E3 games and a mini Gimp tutorial. The week before we had a lengthy tutorial on creating a basic site with Dreamweaver and some PHP. We also have extended our Signature of the Week competition for another week. Due to E3 itself being such a distraction(and boy it was!). So be sure to enter in. Details can be found in the SOTW board.  

This week we have added some content into our new sections. There is now a new web template called MicroWhite which is simple and stylish. We also have two new sprite wallpapers to kick open the launch of a new type of wallpaper for NRX, sprite wallpapers.

We also decided to extend the length of regestration for the RPG for another two weeks to make the event more enjoyable. The response to our improved RPG system has been great.

Finally a lot of small tweaks have occured throughout the week. The biggest tweak is user permissions in the Downloads section. Guests and Staff can now download files for these sections. We also have a great new affiliate, Legends and Adventures - A Zelda Fan Site. So be sure to check them out.

One week has passed since the initial release of NRX 4 and there are a lot of small tweaks and errors all fixed up. Most notably our RPG section which has been reworked so it is a lot easier for members. These changes will add to the professionalism of the site and also make it a better experience for users.

This week we are starting up our first site competition, RPG X. Visit our forums for more details on how to register.

We also have a new site feature, RPG Explained which will give you all of the information to get the most enjoyment with our RPG system. Snes101 has a new tutorial on how to create cool animated gamer tags with GIMP and more sprites have been added to our sprite database. Our staff page now also has information about site contributors too.

Expect some more site tweaks this week as well as heaps of great new content.
