What resolution was the page optimized for? Is there a way to code it to detect that if it won't it on the screen at the end users screen size / resolution? If so could it be coded to truncate to a second page with a next page button at the top and bottom of the first page?

There is a minor downside to these new (beautiful looking) changes.

All the old links in patchnotes to devblogs are now broken. Considering there's already no easy way to search within patchnotes and devblogs, this makes it quite troublesome to find historical data on certain changes. Quite troublesome indeed.

Will you be fixing this?

Looks good, except for one major disappointment from the 3rd party developers community.

The links to CreatePredefined keys are NOT working anymore, meaning that for many applications people have to create the keys manually now.
I'd expect more support for the 3rd party developers community, as they seem to be the last people you care about.

Please fix it!

my link to the page where I could download the CSVs for my journal and wallet transaction entries is now broken. Where did that get moved to?

Just great...

At first I thought that the community website was broken, or that it just didn't fully load, but apparently CCP has decided to break the last readable and usable section of their website.

First you messed up the main eve online website, then the wiki, and now the community website.

I guess I'll just have to start reading the eve online news through RSS feeds.

MAKE IT WORK ALICE! Evil


The 'Install' API key links exposed via https://support.eveonline.com/api/Key/ActivateInstallLinks also appear to be broken in the new design - it's be handy to have those back at some point!

Hey guys,

I just wanted to let you know we are paying close attention to this thread and many of the issues being identified have fixes being worked on. Much of this revolves around URL rewrites so that legacy links will continue to function as much as is possible, this would cover, for example, the dev blog links issue and also the api key predefined masks issue.

The predefined api key functionality has been reproduced in the new site, for example:

[OLD FORMAT]: https://support.eveonline.com/api/key/createpredefined/8388672

can be achieved by using:

[NEW FORMAT]: https://community.eveonline.com/support/api-key/CreatePredefined?accessMask=8388672


I'd like to reiterate that we are committed to our 3rd party developers and we are working to implement a rewrite rule to make the transition as easy as possible. In other words, so the old format can be used too.

As CCP Alice said in the dev blog, this has been a major upgrade from a complex legacy site to a newly deployed site using new technology.

We understand that there will be some frustrations in this immediate period as we work to fix emerging issues but please bear with us.

It is our intention to support legacy content as fully as we are able.

Please do continue to draw our attention to any problems in this thread.

Thanks again for your patience,
DZ

Never really used the old community site, the new one looks good though :) Anyway, the link to 'Dev Blogs' from the Eve Gate page no longer works;

404

The wormhole you were looking for has collapsed. Scanning for a new one may take some time.

Oh, and if you are iterating on Eve Gate any time soon, a little more functionality for corporation forums would be really appreciated, kthnxbye :)

These old links should all be working again! Thanks for pointing this out.

in the interests of providing more info, the link I was talking about (to the character page where one could download the CSVs for wallet info) was located here

http://community.eveonline.com/character/skilltree.asp?characterID=[my character ID number]

I suspect there are API-based ways to download that info (or so a quick Googlin' tells me) but I'd rather not reinvent my particular wheel if it's just a matter of finding out the new URL for that feature.

Visual theme is nice, but christ on a bike, how big do you want your margins to be for pages like the patch notes or dev blogs? ~10% of the page either side?

They're far too big and only result in making you scroll more when you're actually reading the content. It's the same issue on the forums.

Please, someone halve the size of the margins.
