Who says you can't get a lot done in a business week? I was only expecting Console Discussions to be down until Yesterday, but we ended up getting everything up and running within a day. Technically two days considering the forums were not recognizing the .htaccess, which without it, the SEO script I had could not run. This is why when you tried to view a post, it would give an error message. Anyway, all that is fixed and done with so we can move on with the updates.
Server
Lets start off with the whole reason the site was down for two days. Mainly the old server sucks and the new one has a 0.84 GHZ CPU and 576 MB of RAM. The old server was not only slower but it had only 256 MB of RAM. The new server is run off of T4 connections, so it should be faster for everyone now.
Special thanks to @B1G_BR0TH3R: for getting the server up and running!
Arcade
It's BACK! Right now there are only 50 or so games, since I am still working out the kinks. Currently the footer is acting all funky. Once everything gets going, you can count on me adding more games, but starting out... I may just do like 50 games a week or something.
You can access the Arcade from the Extras menu or by clicking HERE. I'll put it in the actual navigation when I get time.
Mood
Moods are BACK! Feel free to set your mood. Mine is tired currently... Since I've been working on the site since like 9 P.M. and it's 2 A.M. now.
VBExperience
Here's something I had awhile back, that I had to remove after a day of use since it made the server load to high. I've brought it back though. Expect more Achievements and such to be added. Also I may add a harder difficulty since some of us are already about to complete the experience lol.
Radio and TV Player
Now you can listen to music or watch TV and remember it all by adding stations to your favorites! You can check it out via the Extras menu or by clicking HERE.
VIP members you can now bring your favorites to Console Discussions by ADDING your own Radio or TV stations.
Xbox Live Leaderboards
The Xbox Live Leaderboards have been brought back. You can check them out via the Extras menu or by clicking HERE. This system will also replace the Gamertag field in posts, since the gamertag is displayed next to the ranks.
PM System
It will now popup when you click any Send PM link on the forum. Along with this upgrade expect a bigger inbox as well.
Profiles
Fixed a few issues with the profiles on V4.
Stats System
See how Console Discussions is doing, via our advance statistics. You can check it out via the Extras menu or by clicking HERE.
Shoutbox
It's now detachable.
Daily Game
Since we were down for a two days, I decided to catch us up with the Daily Games. Here's a week worth of games and another one will pop up at 3:00 A.M.
