LuvROSE Website 2.0 (Demonstration)

Hello LuvROSE Members,

During the past few days I've been working on a new website that will go along with the stable release. It consists of segments from the old website which we have improved. We have also added MANY new features to the website, such as the Connection Box and much more.

This demonstration topic will teach you everything you need to know about navigating through the website as easy as the 1st Job Quest.

1.1 Overall and Main page (Top)



A - Link to the account management module: Click here to access the LuvROSE account manager, where you can make changes to your account. This is link is visible on every page.

B - Navigation Bar: Uses tab-like graphics which you can use to access different pages. It is much bigger and much simpler than the Navigation bar of the old website which makes navigating much easier. This is visible on every page.

C - Connection Box: This box features its own tab-like navigation system. There you can simply pick a way you would like to share LuvROSE; either by voting, joining LuvROSE on your favourite social networks including YouTube or even embedding a ink to the LuvROSE website to your own website. We believe that this will assist in the growth of LuvROSE but it all depends on you, whether or not the world sees us. This is available on the home page.

D - Feature Display: This displays images in the form of text messages, stating unique aspects of LuvROSE. In the old website these banners were of low quality and had many glitches in the way they transitioned which we have now fixed. There will be more banners added as time progresses. This is available on the home page.

Note: The part of the image you see that spans part of the left and the right of the image above is the background image and is visible on every page.

1.2 Overall and Main page (Bottom)



A - Server Status Panel: This displays the current status of the server; whether it is offline or online. At the moment we are implementing the module that will display whether the server is online or not. The problem with the old one was that it only displayed that the server was up and did not trigger the warning image when the server was down. This will be fixed and will display the server status with a maximum of a 5 minute delay. This is visible on every page.

B - Information Section: Displays the 4 most recent news updates as well as the 4 most recent event and contest updates. This is much simpler than the old information section as the old one has to be read and scrolled from. Now you can read the headlines of the most recent news all at once. Simply click the link you want to find more information on and you will be taken to a forum post, very easy. This is visible on the home page.

C - Screenshot Panel: This panel displays screenshots of LuvROSE gameplay. It features one image which can turn into 2 images if we feel the reason to. This image is randomly generated every time you refresh the page. We are working on the zoom in feature which will later be available. This is visible on every page. You can even submit your own screenshots by posting them in the Showcase section of the LuvROSE forum.

D - Website Footer: This is a simple footer that many may say is a visual relief. It is much smaller and less crowded as the old footer and features a link to download Mozilla Firefox. Though it says the site works best on Mozilla Firefox you can view the website with any browser just as easily. This is visible on every page.
