Hello Foundation! Today, on the first day of July, we have several big updates for you! We hope you enjoy what we've been working on and, as always, if you have any ideas for future updates, please share them with us in Member Discussion & Feedback or by PMing a staff member. New Dark Theme First up, you nominated, you voted and we've delivered! The "Outline Nova" theme is now live on the forum and can be used by all. This theme offers a unique feature: You can change the background image to personalize your browsing experience! Just go to the topmenu and click the monitor icon on the left side. You can also choose to have that same topmenu follow you around the page as you scroll or "lock" it in place at the top by clicking the lock icon. This is a great theme from Outline and we hope you enjoy it! Some Layout Adjustments As we've been posting and browsing around, we've noticed some things on the forum that needed to be moved, added or removed. We won't go into full detail here, but a couple key things we changed are: the addition of the "Foundation Development" category to focus a bit more on design and development work and discussion, a few changes/additions to the "Foundation Services" category and finally some minor changes to the "Foundation Community" category. Posting Contest Results Over the past weekend, our posting contest ended. Here are the top 5 winners and their selected prizes (chosen in order from 1st to 5th):
Congratulations to all winners and thank you to all participants! Staff Changes In addition to our layout, we've also been evaluating how our staff team works. First, Lucas and Mace have been removed from the team. We thank them for their work and wish them the best of luck with the future. Furthermore, we have decided to combine the resource and community teams into one Staff group. We'll continue split up duties internally among team members to best serve the forum based on individual interests and skills. We've changed some colors around (admins are now red ) as well.We have more changes coming later this week and into the weekend regarding staffing so stay tuned! Theme of the Month Nominations Later today, we'll be opening nominations for our first Theme of the Month! This is an opportunity for you to nominate a theme in our databases (exclusive or not) to be used on Foundation for one month. After nominations have been open for a few days, we'll set up a poll and you can choose what new theme will be added for the next month. We'll repeat this process every month on the 1st so there's plenty of opportunities to add new themes here. Site of the Month Beginning Another "of the month" is our Site of the Month competition! This is where you can enter your forum, blog or website to battle against other sites for the ultimate title - Site of the Month! The topic for entries will be posted later day with more information. Member of the Month: June Each month, the staff team will select one outstanding member who has stood out above the rest for their contributions and activity in the community during the month. This month, although we were only open for about half of it, we found one member who deserved the title. Please congratulate DPM on being named June's Member of the Month! Congratulations! Finally... reminders! First, staff applications are still open but are closing soon! We will be accepting applications until Friday, July 3rd. As you've seen already, we've removed a few staff members and made some changes so we'll be looking to make some promotions very soon. Please click here for more information. Also, our resource contest is ending soon (this Saturday, July 4th) so be sure to submit any final resources to the galleries to have a shot at winning one of our five prizes! Thanks for reading and thanks for being a part of Foundation Geoffrey | Foundation Administrator |
