Website Updates - New Community News!

As someone else already mentioned, will there be RSS for the new site?

I just noticed the lack of updates in my RSS feed. This is a really bad decision. The new page might look cool but it’s not intuitive.

I don’t see the Alliance Tournament subsection listed. What will happen with that? Actually, I don’t see any of the content from the current “Community” section listed. Found it. Its in the top-right hamburger menu that scrolls off screen.

As far as the layout, I agree that there seems to be a lot of excess white-space. I think part of it is caused by the relatively large images. the other is the font size. Good news is I can change the font size myself.

edit: The monitor I am using at the moment is 1600x900, and I chose to reduce the font size by like 2 sizes. It really makes for a much easier to read experience.

The “E” / “hamburger” menu gets scrolled off the screen and is replaced with a drop-down “Play-for-Free” bar. Moving the hamburger to the drop down would allow that functionality to stay on screen.

Still haven’t seen a reply on this regarding RSS feeds.

I know that CCP favors Facebook and Twitter, but both mess with what you see in your feed and are not reliable if you want timely notice of news from CCP. RSS isn’t that hard (the middle “S” is for simple) and CCP has had good support for it for years.

Is it RSS dead on the community site now?

Please bring back the RSS feeds. Twitter and Facebook are not legitimate replacements as they pick and choose what content users get to see.

Obviously I am missing sales on great looking skins cause there is no RSS feed. That’s really bad!

So this is why I’m not getting any updates :rofl: CCP just forgot about most stable and reliable information feed.
Any idea when would be it integrated back to business?

RSS feeds will come at a later date.

This is just the first stage of replacing the whole community site.

If anybody is interested, I made these alternatives for the RSS feeds. Unfortunately they are limited to only the five most recent news items in each category. New posts will be pulled into the feeds, and the oldest posts will drop off. Hopefully this can suffice until an official solution is made available.

EDIT: Removed links. Use official ones linked in the next reply.

I see CCP Avalon has already been and gone and fixed up us RSS junkies with new feeds which he posted to Twitter.
