Given that the site was designed over a year ago now, and we've since added tons of new features, it's really gotten to the point where the site's in need of a redesign - which is exactly what we've been working on now for the past 10 days or so.
We've redesigned a number of pages and other elements on the site to make them easier to use, and more visually appealing, and we've done away with a number of sections on the site, and condensed them all into one tool - the Pokétch. This can now be used to manage your party, your friends, journal, items, interactions, daycare, walker, settings, as well as Pokemon evolution, egg hatching, and many other actions as well as the new underground feature.
At this time, the new site will be available for testing to everyone with 25 000 total interactions or more - and it will be fully rolled out a few days from now, more than likely. This is so that we can correct any outstanding issues before fully releasing it to everyone.
Note that, because both Internet Exploder and Opera are behind Firefox, Chrome and Safari in implementing newer CSS features, the site is best viewed in recent versions of either of the three. It should work fine in recent versions of any of the five browsers, however.
It's located here, though keep in mind it isn't presently accessible to everyone: http://new.gpxplus.net/
A Gender option has been added on your Settings tab; we'll be using this setting throughout the site now instead of the one in your forum profile. It doesn't actually use this yet, but just letting you all know to go set it awhile.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do not post in this thread complaining that you cannot access the site or asking how to; it clearly says in the first post that only users with 25,000 total interactions or more can use it (for now!). If you are not one of these people, refrain from posting.
If you are one of the people who can access the site, go ahead and give us feedback! Bidofo and I made many changes, as you can see, so it's possible there's small bugs here and there.
The Poketch page looks very nice so far.
I've noticed the Explorer Kit, I'll try that out soon.
I love this new site oh so much~
Great job peoples.
Whoa... I really like the new Poketch. My party looks great. I love it so far. =D
FIRRRSSSTTTT! Or not... ^^;
...Well, kinda...
This is pretty dang awesome. Alas, as I have -fewer- than 25,000 interaction points, I can't see the site. Might someone be able to post a screencap so that we can know what to expect? =3
~E4 Hikaru
Woah! That is so cool! I think the Poketch is really useful. Really good idea. Will we have the option to use the old site if we want?
Little bit of a glitch; when I first clicked the interactions tab in the Poketch I got an error message, and now there seems to be nothing under the Interactions tab of the Poketch, not even the to and from headings.
Edit: NVM, seems to be fixed.
THIS IS F-ING EPIC!!!!!
The Poketch is cool, and most of the pages initially at the tabs are put into one organized matter. Awesome
It looks hawt, well done. It'll take a little getting used to but it sure is purdy.
Willl we still be able to use the old layout? 'Cause I'm pretty accustomed to the older one. The new one looks pretty cool though. o.o
The new site is so cool *-* I loved!
I'd like to suggest something after using this for a bit. I think you should make the Poketch stay on the same option (the different tabs on it) whenever you load the page again so it's more user-friendly.
Oh man. This is awesome. Love how you can now see what you have yet to interact with in the people who you've interacted with previously and those in your Pal Pad/Those who you added you. Also loving how you can rearrange your party outside of the PC. Keep up the good work guys.
Awesome update
10X faster
The new party display page is going to take some getting used to, but I REALLY like the option to view interactions based on users who have Pokémon in their party that you can interact with. That will be really handy.
Loving it so far - much more modern, and sleek. Thank you.
I like the Poketch - it's pretty convenient to have all of this one page. Ooo, explorer kit? Underground? -intrigued-
I am still exploring the tabs a bit, but I did enjoy the little bouncing egg at the top, telling me I had something ready to hatch~
I also like the fact you can reorder your party on the party page now, instead of always having to go to your pc.
Well, this is very cool, although it might throw off Mass Clicking a bit.
However, I really like the idea of the Pokétch, and the new Underground. I haven't tried that out yet, since I need to hatch my eggs first.
So far I like it but still have to check it out some more. The Poketch set up looks amaziing by the way.
The new site is so round. I love it~
I like how the notifications were minimized. Makes for much less clutter, which is great. The Poketch is a great idea.
Still doing some exploring here and there, going ahead and using the Underground too. It all looks very sleek and cool! Basically, I think it looks awesome. Good work!
I like it a lot x3
The design with the smooth egdes looks really nice (and smooth ). I like that new Underground thing too, now I just need to wait for my Ampharos to return!
Question: Is it random what the Pokemon finds, or does it depend on the egg group or type or something like that?
Question: Can I start using that site now without checking the old one again or will it go offline again in some days to be released for everyone?
Will you still keep all your other Pokemon and items?
I like the new design. Looks pretty cool. Kinda' confusing at times, but I like it.
One thing I noticed: I can't access the Children Page. It says 404 Error - Page Not Found and I've refreshed it quite a couple of times.
It looks fancy.
Loving the party/poketch page, since everything important is there (daycare and walker, really)
I love the "deposit to PC" option in the dropbox too, and rearranging the party outside of the PC. Also, the site itself is very nice looking
I really like how you can see the pokemon/eggs someone has in their party in the users online page! (:
And be able to view them too! O;
Most everything I am seeing so far is very nice but I can't help but feel that the Party page is almost... "too much" now. I really, really liked the simple party page from before. (Plus, made snaplinking MUCH easier... although, I suppose I could get used to dragging my box horizontally...)
Eh, maybe it'll grow on me.
I am excited about the Underground feature though. Just a question, will Pokes level while in the Underground?
I *LOVE* the new design! I was iffy because I was so used to the old site, but I really think this is awesome! I especially like how easy it is to get to the Daycare now, considering my pokemon can be such bunnies sometimes. XD
It does look more high tech, but i also think some people would prefer the old design. But i do like it, just gotta get used to it i guess
The text in the Walker disappears when I scroll down. Also, when I try to go to the PC, I et a window that says Internet Explorer cannot open the new PC. Everything else has been fine so far.
Holy CRAP that looks awesome.
*Randomly searches through everything.*
Everything is so ROUND.
It looks great! Glad that I'm allowed in!
I like it, but it's going to take some getting used to...
Is there going to be an option to stay with the original layout? Or would that be too much?
Wow, it's so fucking nice.
Great job guys.
In the poketch and just scrolling down to look what I need to see is much quicker than the old version.
I like the new layout much more than I like the current one, although the "Your daycare couple has produced eggs" reminder annoys me. It'll take me a while to get used to it, instead of confusing it with the old man.
I really like the poketch page it does seem more easy to use. I liked how the lab was before though better. I also really like the fact I don't have to go to a different page to look at the walker, my interactions, daycare, and ect, so all in all I really like it.
Wow!!!
First impression is I love it!
A lot of work has gone into this. Thanks!
It's very pretty, and I like all the little details like the different Pokeballs for different rarities of Pokemon. I kind of don't like how everything is on one page, cause it almost seems cluttered, or like there's too much going on, but... it'll just take some getting used to, I guess. Underground seems pretty cool, too.
Give it time, and I'm sure it will grow on me, though ._. always happens this way with updates.
Love the new layout! It's all sleek and organized.
I like the look, it will take awhile to get use to where everything is.
I'm loving the tabs setup. That's most certainly a plus. I also like the lab's new layout as well.
EDIT:
Just realized you can now rearrange your party without having to go to the PC page. That's pretty awesome.
Oh snaps, and move pokemon to the PC too.
When this is fully implemented, is there going to be an option to use the old (current) design as well?
Very good, except for the pokemon party pages. Isnt it going to throw off mass-clicking?
But I do like the Underground and being able to see other people dexes!! Well done managment people!
Its much harder for me to get to interactions, may I suggest the ability to rearrange the tabs for our individual needs?
Not exactly sure how to use the Explorer Kit, but I suppose that'll become clearer in due course.
The whole new design is verrry niccee. I approve.
The way to check for people who have interacted with your Party is a bit long. Having to navigate your way to that part of the page all the time to check for new clicks will probably slow down mass-clicking, but I suppose people can get used to it after a while, so it's alright.
And being able to change the order of your Party on the Pokétch page is wonderful! I was going to suggest being able to change your Party order without having to go to the PC all the time, but never bothered because it probably got suggested loads of times before. Now, it doesn't matter =D Love it.
I think those who have less than 25,000 total interactions will get a real shock. But a nice one =P Any ideas when you'll actually be putting it up live for everyone? Or will it really be when all the kinks and everything are smoothed out? And can those with more than 25,000 total interactions keep using the newly designed site from now on?
Holy cow you guys, I'm LOVING the new Users Online list. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how you can click directly on their parties instead of first opening their user pages. Hello fast tab clicking!
Hmmm...it'll take getting used to, but it looks awesome! Definitely loving the new features like the Underground. *has to rework mass clicking technique*
Edit: Don't know if this is just the result of everyone trying to get on the new site at once, but it seems a lot slower and doesn't like when I try to scroll between tabs or close them--it's crashed twice already with only five tabs open. Then again...there are a lot of people trying to access right now.
This is delicious
*chucks Pokemon into Underground*
Besides the fact that's I'm not used to the redesign, which will go away soon enough, I rather like the new site design. Instead of gushing about it, here's the short-hand: It is awesome on a stick. Please allow yourselves a hearty pat on the back. X3
P.S. The 'Send to PC' option is the greatest thing ever.
Anyone wanna put a screenshot?
Oh my god.
People can stalk our pokedex.
Sadface ):
Though I'm sure that will be awesome for some people. This is taking stalking to a new level lol.
Its look really good. Great work on the design.
I like it, just... it's gonna take a while to get used to and, I'm used to the old site
MAN THIS IS SO COOL WAHOO!!! THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR HARD WORK.
So far the biggest problem I have with this redesign is that the "users online list is extremely image heavy. perhaps add a setting so those images aren't displayed. Also I think it might be smart if there be an option to switch between the two versions once the new one is available to everyone.
Looks/works great! Got confused in Interactions at first, but I got it now n.n
Really nice
I checked achievements though I didn't think I unlocked anything and got this message: An error occured: No new achievements unlocked - please try again later! Also when I saved changes to my pc the screen went white like a Lickylicky slobbered on it. Just thought you might want to know. I got a kick out of Internet exploder, that's the truth.
All in all I like the new site though it will take some getting used to. I'm not crazy about the interactions layout but I really appreciate the hard work you put into this and I'm sure I'll get used to everything. Oh I just noticed that abandon was changed to release, I love you people!
Oh yeah and I dunno if it's just me and my computer being slow but the Users Online list is reaaally laggy somehow. Everything else seems to be fast like it usually is. It's just that list
Question, sorry if this already been asked but how will the little man will work now? I notice that you can go to your walker but the walker itself is part of the page now. I doubt anyone will make a stupid mistake by changing the walker while the little man is up there but I thought I would ask anyway.
Nice design, going to be a pain in the ass to get all of my pokemon to play underground but I not complaining, nice feature.
I find that I am used to using the old site and I am about 2k points away from the achievement, so I will stay with the old site until I am done for tonight.
I love the fact that things are now more tidier and convenient - you guys are done well!
No negatives from me and everything is working fine..
The new site looks great!
OH MY GOSH! the poketch is awesome! awesome new upgrade now we can find items more easily. stuff is easy to access and it just looks amazing. man you guys really did a nice job!
Hmm, haven't tested the Underground yet : O but that seems to be interesting. Tabs are running smoother it seems with the new site, and I like the feature to check if there's new pokemon to click for the people I've already clicked.
"Users who have interacted with your Pokémon... ... with whom you have interacted today, who still have Pokémon in their party with which you may interact "
This is probably THE BEST THING you guys could've done.
Wow. And the new layout looks great! A little slow, but I suppose it's because of the lot of new people trying out the new site.
I especially love how you can open Pokemon from the users online list, and can get to a bunch of places from the Poketch
Not a huge fan of the new layout, seems kinda confusing on how to click people back, and I prefer the old layout of the party.
I do like the underground though.
The new site is very well done, and much better for trying to rack up interactions (especially the User's Online list). My only problem that on party pages.. the Daycare/Walker/Underground pokemon are off centered a bit and it looks quite cluttered and sloppy.
http://s399.photobucket.com/albums/pp73/bradymiller_1997/?action=view¤t=New.jpg
It kinda fails but it's still a picture.
...
Are we still able to get Treasure chests, little man, and manaphy?
Ok, messing around with it a little more, I only have one complaint, and it's not exactly a pure complaint.
I'm not sure yet if I like the new interactions list. Seems rather clumsy for me to check and see who I need to interact with. But! This may change as I get used to it.
Edit: Ok, ignore me. I've decided I like the new interaction lists. :P
Love the Users Online, now. BUT it does lag badly. I can only assume it's because it shows users' parties, now.
It feels like the site just opened. Loving a lot of the new layout. Now I'm going to be anxious to see what I get from the underground.
I love how we can automatically move Pokemon to are PC now <3
I think I found an error.
When I try to move the tabs around, the tab I moved suddenly disappears or moves all the way to the right. I'm using Opera too, if that's helps.
Wow, you guys did an amazing job! I love it. Can't wait to start using it.
When viewing a profile, the dex part, will the little blurb eventually use pronouns of the correct gender? :p Mine keeps calling me a 'he'.
I randomly got logged out the first time I went to view the shelter--not sure if this is just my browser or if the site burped, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.
The interactions tab...is okay. I like how things are organized into lists, but it seems like a very round-about way to see who's clicked you when compared to the way it's set up now. I may just need to get used to it though. Also, it and the achievements tabs took forever to open--the achievements one actually never opened for me (again, probably something on my end).
The Underground thing has my interest piqued! Now who to send out first...
I'm really liking the design so far! I'll see how easy it is to use while I click tonight.
Ohhh my.
I really really like how everything that was on separate links is all on one page. It does seem like the Poketch selections take a bit of time to load, though.
The only thing I don't like about the Interactions Tab is that you have to manually click the tab open, but the Pokemon all being displayed is AWESOME. You don't even need to open up the party page! ^-^
I love what happens when you hatch an egg, now!! It's awesome staying on the same page!! =DAnd my Riolu just hatched female, so this new layout rocks my socks even more! It's a lucky layout!
And THANK YOU for collapsing the display of fashion items you own on the shop page. It was getting reeeeeally long for me, and having it collapsed by default really helps the display of the shop for me.
Ok, first off, I love the new layout, it's clean and organized. You did a great job with the design. Second, I'm having a problem hatching eggs on the new version. It won't allow it to hatch. Going back to the old one, It doesn't have this problem. But over all, I'm going to use the new one more unless I have to hatch eggs, then back to the old one.
I really like the polished, less cluttered look.
However, it seems to be a lot slower to load. I noticed when I was doing clickbacks that opening a bunch of tabs takes a lot longer. That might just be my computer, though.
I LOVE being able to click directly from the Online list!! No more opening parties first. /huge/ improvement for mass clicking.
This is awesomesauce.
The new site is amazing. Mass-clicking is so much easier, and I love being able to see the Pokés people have gotten since we last clicked them that we can interact with.
The only problem I see is when feeding Pokémon Aspear berries, it says "You pull a Aspear Berry..." when it should be "You pull an Aspear Berry..." - though this was on the other site too, I figured I'd mention it anyway.
EDIT: On the Help page under Shiny Pokémon, it says "Although they aren't as rares as they are in the games..." and it should just be "as rare as..." ;)
First off, i'd like to thank the staff for the awesome redesign of the site. I love it. Now i've run into one problem, it's hard to mass click using snap link now, and as i'm typing this i figured out how to still use snap link on the interactions page. Way to go me, actually using my brain to solve a quick problem.
love the new look it's epic
Wow, that's all I can say. I love the new design.
I'm not sure how I feel about it right now... but I'm slow to adapt to change, so. I'm sure once I've played around with it for a few days, I'll love it. For now though, it seems like there's just so much going on...
Edit: I love being able to click parties directly from the online list, but clicking back is now a pain--I use Snap Links, and I can't highlight large groups of parties without opening the user pages too, which has confused me once or twice already. I would really prefer it if we had the option to change the party-sprite display on the interactions tab.
Hmm...can't view my page (page, not party) without going back to the old site....
It's going to take some time to get used to the new layout, but I love it! It's amazing!
Sweet redesign. Seems more massclick-friendly than before, the Interactions tab amongst other things!
And you can even go back and reclick the same person if they get new eggs/pokemon.
Hot stuff, you designing gais.
as much as i like the new layout, the fact that the journal, pal pad, and achievements are still attached bothers the hell out of me.
otherwise, you are good job.
The new site looks great. The layout is much more convenient with everything on one page now and I especially like the changes to the users online list.
All in all, I'm definitely happy with this design! It's clear that the people working on it have kept the users in mind, as well as functionality. (Unlike Facebook.) Anyway, I really like how the interactions tab is set up. I don't always check my clickers/clickees to see if they have new Pokemon, so this makes it easier.
No problems yet, although I don't see the mystery counter anywhere... but I'm sure that's been mentioned. (I'm blind. xD; )
The new site is also a tad laggy at the moment, so for now, I'll keep using the old design. It'll be interesting to see how mass clicking will be done with the new design as well..
Oh, darn. I can't access it! Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait. Sounds really interesting though!
One little thing - there doesn't seem to be any alt text for the party images on the online list. Can something be put there for when we're mass clicking and have images disabled? Not sure if that would be possible or not...
WOW! You guys really out did yourself this time! The site looks MUCH more appealing, and everything is better organized now. I'll admit, that it will take time to get used to, but I'm sure once I do everything will be easier to use. The only problem I see now is that table tools seems to be doing some weird stuff(like one time it allowed me to pick the number of people I've interacted with, the other it just said all), bu that's all I've seen for now. I'd just like to thank everyone who worked on this SOOOO much, I as well as the other GPX users really appreciate this update. Thank you.
Oh, and I have a question, will the little man and whatnot show up in the same place...or somewhere different?
Wow, that's one heck of an update!
Just so you know, when I try to access the Users Online list in Internet Explorer 8, it crashes, eventually uncrashes but asks to stop running the script, and the message to stop running the script won't stop popping up until you press 'yes'.
(Sort of glad I switched to Firefox now, but at least I can still point these things in IE8 out to you)
This is great and neat ! One little thing though; would it be possible to save which type of interaction you want to see and which you want to hide instead of clicking on them everytime ?
Oh wow. Really nice job. It'll take me forever to find everything again, but that's my problem. I really like the Underground add-on; just sent a Pokemon down there now. And it's really great now that I can see who has new eggs/Pokemon out and not waste my time browsing for extra clicks. :p
Yep, I don't see any real problems...the site seems a little slower than before, but it's all the new changes, I guess.
My thoughts on the new site, page by page:
Lab: The lab is similar, but is now somewhat easier on the eyes.
Shelter: The shelter looks a little nicer, but otherwise it seems the same.
Poketch: The poketch is extremely well done. The ability to refresh parts of the page, instead of the whole page is much faster. The tabs are well organized. The new interactions section is very useful for knowing who needs clicks thanks to the new setup. Having all the areas of the site on one page is extremely convenient. I haven't tried the underground yet, however it seems interesting. The only thing I want to know is if the manaphy eggs and old man will disappear on the poketch page?
The dex, shop, pc, and stats all look slightly sharper, but are otherwise the same. A full pc upgrade would be nice eventually, but apparently not yet.
The new help tab is extremely useful. Trying to track down information on the forums was confusing, so hopefull this will cut down on stupid questions in the forum (yeah right).
The new daycare, mystery counter and egg hatch icons are nice, and they avoid lengthening the page.
The users online shows the pokemon that can be clicked, and has links which is great for slower computers!
Thats all I've seen so far, but I think it is overall a great redo of the site.
Is it just me, or has the "Toggle unaccented rows" thing disappeared from the Users Online List?
I must admit, this looks quite nice, job well done I'd say.
I am suddenly very grateful I spent so much time clicking. Lookin' good guys!
whenever i go to the lab it goes back to the old version on internet explorer
Oh, this is so cool! I love the new design!
Dunno why but the Online User page, for me, lags really bad. And any user's pages I open from that page as well.
I like the new design even if I'll need time to get used to it
I noticed a little problem:
The description of the pokedex when you're looking to someone else's pokedex: "This page will list all the normal and legendary Pokémon, as well as the novelties that the user has obtained". It seems novelties aren't displayed in this case...
First of all, yay to you guys. This is awesome.
Especially the Interactions page (Sorted ! You can now see the new pokemons you can click on people you already visited ! How great is that ? xD ) and the Users Online list (you can directly open the pokemon pages, that's much faster for massclicking !)
Just one little thing, maybe it has already been seen but i can't read all comments, they keep coming... ^^"
It's about the "Hatch the egg" option.
It works just fine from the Poketch menu, with the little pop-up thing.
But when i tried to do it from the actual Pokemon page (as in the old version), the button didn't answer.
I like the design of the new site, it seems a bit smoother than before. One thing I can't seem to find the preference of type of berry that the Pokemon want on the party (well, Poketch) page; I have to go to the actual page with the interact button/berries on it in order to see what to give it. Otherwise, I love it.
wow. I love it, haha. It looks so clean and, well, new.
plus now I can check if people in my pal pad changed their parties and have new pokemon I can interact with way easier.
I like the new design. Looks very clean, and a nice design without causing me lag or computer issues like some websites. Everything is working nicely for me, though it may take a little adjusting. Love the new User's Online page.
all I can is... It looks so fucking damned awesome!!!
Currently when you visit the Daycare and use the Silph Scope it doesn't remember that you have used the scope if you leave the page and then return. You must use the scope again once you return to the Daycare page in order to see the eggs.
Found a typo in the Help section:
"On very rare occasions, a Tiny Egg, Old Man or a Chest will appear on the left-hand side of the site, next to there recent updates are posted."
Shouldn't that be 'where'?
Sorry, I know that's a bit lame to point out, but it confused me for a minute =P
i love the design, and my favorite change is that we're able to click the pokemon themselves straight out of the users online list. I also loved it that we can send pokemon to the pc from the poketch page
The lag decreased for me when clicking the "warm the egg" button, but it increased greatly at the shelter, and some of the eggs' images don't even appear, they stay just as the text. I was slightly disappointed that the berries were still under the pokemon making it tedious to mass-click by having to scroll down when the dress-ups are big... i'll keep using the site and i'll come back to write some more
sorry for the double post but the one problem with the new layout is that when mass clicking you have to have the images on and it sometimes crashes firefox, and you can't click the eggs without the images on, also it's running REALLY REALLY slow right now
The changes to the "users online" list seems to have made the table tools addon for firefox impossible to use, which can present a problem to many mass clickers, especially since most of them will most likely begin opening all of the Pokemon straight from the list rather than opening the individual parties and opening them from there.. Perhaps it can be made so that if you have interacted with a user at all, even if it was just one click, that they not appear on the "users online" list.
I like the idea of the online list, but is it really necessary to have the pokemon icons there? There's 900+ people online, and it's taking AGES to load the page completely for me to use my snaplinks add-on.
Oh WOW
The layout is very smooth. Everything looks totally pro! Still getting used to it being different, but I think this is a very good change. I love that you can see everybody's party at once on the interactions list. Very handy. Can't wait to try out the underground.
AWESOME job you guys! <3
I've noticed that several buttons now have rounded edges, and I'm wondering why.
Also, the Pokétch page looks amazing, as well as everything else on the new site. Great job, you guys!
Loving this new design. Keep up the good work.
So what of the Mystery Counter?
I don't see it anywhere, so if it goes off, will the 1.5x Maturity Bonus and 25% off shop still be in effect on the site? (Assuming those are two of the rewards)
Error Report:
Under Help & Important Information
All the names of people link out of New.GPX+ and back into the original.
I admit, I kind of like the Poketech. It's much sleeker, and gets everything together in one place so it's much easier to manage everything. The new bars displaying maturity is also interesting, and I love how it shows different Pokeballs and the types. What chooses what kind of Pokeball it has, though? Or is that simply a show of its rarity?
I do have a question, though. What's the small egg beside the Pokeball for? Does it show if you have that Pokemon's egg or not? (If it's a hatched Pokemon, anyway)
I still believe there should be a way to turn off the "People who have added me" section, and I'm sorely disappointed that there still isn't that option to do so.
The Underground is interesting.... but can you really just send a Pokemon once overall, and then never send them again? It makes sense if you're getting things like evolution stones and items, since you definitely don't want to make the Shop useless, so I'm not really complaining, I just want to make sure I understand.
I think the "click to remove the Pokemon" thing is a little bit useless, though. I mean, we already kind of know that, right? And even for people who don't, it should be relatively obvious. But that's just me, I know.
I REALLY like the Heritage being an option from the dropdown menu. Makes my job a bit easier.
The Interactions tab is also quite sleek and useful. I like that it's sectioned off.
Also VERY happy that it shows when people have new Pokemon that you haven't interacted with.
I couldn't look at the shelter, having already taken my max amount, but I'm sure it looks fine.
The Shop and Dex look roughly the same.
Overall, it looks like a very impressive update. ^o^ I approve!
While the new layout will require some getting used to, I really like how accessible everything is now! Every information is there at a click, and you can put pokemon into the PC without going there, which is awesome!
One small question: would it be possible to have the Interactions tab remember which information you toggled and which not?
I like the online list, but I feel it's WAY too heavy on images. Especially for people with slow connections. Why not add an "Open user's Pokemon in new tabs" link instead of the images, to help speed things up?
Also, the image codes for the entire party are great!!
With the new layout, where will Little Man and the Manaphy eggs disappear?
Like on the old layout, they disappear anywhere you can get rid of Pokemon. Does that mean that they will only disappear in the PC now, or will they disappear on the Poketech page as well?
Also, is there a place to view the Mystery Counter besides the Stats page?
Oh.My.God. LOVE IT <3 This makes things SO much more organized...mind, I'll possibloy have to change how I'm mass-clicking O.o
I just noticed this: Slots with a Pokéball are ones he's missing.
That's on the PokeDex page. Problem is, I'm a SHE. Is there a way to change this? I'm listed as female in my forum profile, so I know that has nothing to do with it. :/
although this is a glitch u had the header saying i should report it so here goes the glitch is when i save the settings to no one on the pokemon i abandoned it still shows it for everyone to see on my page.
So many things to like! The new party display looks great, Poketch in general looks great and well-organized. Interactions tab has some nice features to easily find things to click, very mass-clicker friendly (and so is the online list).
Rearranging the party from the poketch in stead of just from the pc is a nice touch. And moving a pokemon to the pc, works very efficiently!
I like it that exp calculation, mystery counter, daycare indicator etc are now all in the form of icons in their own position. Makes the news display less cluttered, so that's good.
And i like the help pages. very elaborate, easy to find information now.
And the underground sounds interesting!
No complaints so far. Just trying to get used to everything, but that should be easy enough.
Thing looks sick-tastic, to put it bluntly.
Still playing around with features. Will report back if there are issues.
It's actually going to make mass clicking EASIER as now we can just multi link the eggs/pokies and not the party(username) - LOVE IT!!!!!
Sounds really cool! I'll be sure to try it out!
This is really awesome. good job!
I love it! Wonderful work Bidoof and Zerxer. It's an absolute blast to use. Thanks!
don't like the poketch page much, since we can't view inventory/pal pad/journal at the same time anymore, can't you move the inventory on it's old place since it's just a column ...
buuut i love all other changes, the new online list is awesome, the smooth edges, the user pages etc ... though i have to say i'm kinda disappointed, because you didn't change the 2 most horrible lagging pages - the PC and the dex :/ the poketch is also lagging from time to time
still, great work! it looks better then before
Whoa....
I love this new layout. I can't even find a single thing wrong.
I love the new underground thing. A way to find more items is A-O-K with me.
It looks absolutely amazing Very high-tech looking, and it is definitely visually appealing as well
The site looks wonderful now! I love how the Poketch has everything in one place, and all the details you put into the site (i.e. the rounded buttons, the Party page's new look), the interactions list and the abandonment page... heck, I like everything about this redesign (and that stalking has been brought to a new level with this update XD) My only complaint is that everything seems more laggy now, but that might be because of the 1000+ people online now
Question: When it says 'Note that each Pokémon may only visit the underground once.' on the Underground page, does it mean that when you take a Pokemon out of the Underground, it can never go back there again? Or is it a once-a-day limit thing?
When I abandon on FF, it redirects to new.gpxplus.net/party and not on new.gpxplus.net/shelter
Obviously this is an error
I love it! Way to go, guys!
wow this is beyond high-tech. Thanks for making such an effort for us!
i'm not finding any problems so far, and I'm using aol atm
For using Snaplinks on the online list, here's a little trick one of my friends discovered to make it work a little bit better.
Start at the X shown in the first image (make sure you are in that specific grey area), then drag down as far as you want to highlight stuff off to the side (whilst making sure you stay in that grey area). Then, drag it sideways to highlight the Pokémon you want to open. It's still a little laggy, but it works a lot faster.
I love the new layout so you all did a great job! The only glitch I have found at the moment is when you click your public url it takes you to your old user page indtead of the new one.
Right know, its kind of a pain to look at who interacted with you. You should have a button were you can keep some of the options open. Like make it so people who you haven't interacted with always be open...so you don't have to open it up every time.
Waiiiiit. A revamp of a website, and pretty much everyone who can see it unanimously loves it?
Dear heaven, mods, what do you put in the drinking water here? And can I take some of it back to my favourite virtual petsite with me?
Getting used to it, discovering things and all that. Think I like how they hand you "you haven't given back to these people yet ya loser!" (kidding) rather than the old way. Then again I was always annoyed at having to make everyone invisible that I'd clicked =P
There was one moment though where I tried to return the favor and the person's front page wouldn't come up...thanks to showing the eggs I was able to do that at least. Any reason why someone's page wouldn't appear? I checked on the old version of the site and they had enough to even use the newer version if they'd wanted so it couldn't have been a matter of clicks...
I edited my earlier post, but I'm pretty sure that won't be noticed in all the excitement, so...
I really do like this new layout (ability to rearrange the tabs is very much appreciated), but I mass-click and Snap Links is like my best friend. Having the parties displayed on the online list is a great idea, but my computer is so slow, not being able to turn the images off is killing it. Dead. And from the interactions tab: I used to use Snap Links to open up a large number of the people who'd clicked me and zip through their parties--now if I want to use Snap Links, I end up opening both user pages and those users' individual eggs/pokemon. It's a bit of a frustrating pause to have to close each one of those user pages in-between the pokemon/eggs. And I've confused myself once or twice already as to which user I did or did not click...
Erm, basically what I'm saying is that an option to disable the pokemon/egg icons under the Interactions tab would kinda be really appreciated.
I like the new look, but I've run into a problem. When I rearrange the tabs in Pokétch, I can move them, but when I save, then refresh the page, the tabs are back to their old position. The browser I'm using is Internet Explorer 8.
To be perfectly honest, I cannot stand the new party page layout. It makes your party seem empty if you are carrying less than six Pokemon with you, which really bugs me. Like, a lot.
Also, the new way of viewing who has interacted with you bugs me. While it's awesome to be able to see whose parties have been updated, showing their party as well is not. Snaplinks. Friendly.
ALSO. I am going to miss the "toggle unaccented rows" option on the users online page.
So while it's got some nice new features, as a whole I HATE IT. Srsly. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
wow! I hope I get to use the NEW site soon! 8)
Ohhhh this sound so great!
I can't wait to see it!
*dreams of awesome round theme*
Also It WOULD be nice I think if you're able to choose between the site layouts.
Underground is a cool feature.
ok, HERE's a complaint i'm surprised hasnt been mentioned (or maybe it has?)
the interactions, to see who has clicked me, has moved, so that's a bit annoying. But the main problem is it shows all the pokemon and whatnot. For a snaplinks user like myself, it means if i tried to open up links for the people there now (11, aka 3 rows), it would catch the pokemon AND their username, thus opening more links than necessary.
I know sometimes when I get home from work or whatnot, I have as many as 40 names waiting... that could really slow down the site if the numbers add up.
Can there be a way to just see names? Or something to fix this?
Thanks
The "Pokemon you abandoned link" isn't on the shelter page anymore.
..
And
and
and
Did you make all of this edges (well most of them) round to make the site safer, or just to make everything look cooler?
Whoa, this looks so neat and organized. I usually hate change (admittedly the horizontal party view will definitely take time to get used to) but I'm pretty excited about this, especially being able to use the daycare/move to pc/check my stats/etc without even leaving one page. Annnd being able to see if you have a PM from GPX without going to the forum is extra A+.
No changes to the PC, though? Every time I click it for the past week or two it's been stopping my browser until a "stop script" option appears. It's been frustrating. But at least with the poketch, you can move pokemon straight to the PC...
As other people have mentioned the clicking is extremely slow. If I have more than one tab open it takes almost a minute for me to close/move to another tab (although this might just be because of the testing type thing that's going on right now).
I also second the alternate text idea for the sprites on the users online and the interactions tab, it would really help mass clicking go faster.
Otherwise everything is great.
Also, in terms of looks, I went onto my page as if someone else was viewing it, clicked "daycare offspring", and the starting text thing that has "in a box like this" is seperated onto two lines. Kind of defeats the purpose of showing off the box
Another thing I realized is that It's hard to tell if you clicked people on the online list or not. You should make it a different color like you did in the other version.
Also, I didn't just edit my last post because posts went so fast I think people didn't even see it :p
One thing I've noticed is that it is impossible to click back people with the Pokétch with images turned off. Turning images off is a well-known way to mass click. Is there any way to fix this?
The description about the palpad disappears after a few moments then comes back, then disppears again and so on. is it suppose to do that?
In love with the new layout. As much as I simply adore the small sprits of the pokemon and eggs a user has in a party I'm going to agree with everyone else here and say clicking is TERRIBLY slow now.
I've got an upgraded game computer and even still I can notice a difference. =C
I've just visited the new website overhaul and wow! While I didn't lurk for long, I took advantage of a few things and, overall, can say that the new design is epic. I especially love the feel of the Lab under this new design. The Prof. should have always been on that side as she's more inviting and more noticeable. Not just an after thought now. It'll take some initial getting used to, but I liked what I saw. Congrats, GPX Staff. It's pwntastic.
Another thing to add (sorry to keep finding things), when i rearrange my party on the main party page, i click save formation, then i move it again and click save, but it tells me to wait. I don't see a timer anywhere. So i went to refresh, got the same "wait" message, and then that link went away.
Things to notice
Totally awesome updates! But sadly I only joined a few months ago and have roughly over 5,000 interactions. Maybe a few months before I can see what the new site looks like.
The Public URL link at the top of my party still links back to the old version of the site. Is that intentional?
New GPX Plus is epic win. I love the new user viewing styles, and the rounded buttons/dropdown menus make the site look smoother. The Poketch was a great idea; now the main link-bar doesn't look so overflowing with buttons. Keep up the good work, guys!
EDIT: Forgot to mention that "viewing user" pages are styled much more conveniently -- no one has to scroll down to see anyone's whole party anymore.
I'm totally loving the new look, but I've come across something weird. On the users online page when i go to the chart it kept changing sizes, is this normal? It's not changing after a few seconds on the page though.
Takes a bit of getting used to, but the layout seems much more user-friendly. I like how we don't have to go all over the site just to locate certain things, thanks to the pokétch. It seems cluttered at first, but you get accustomed to the set-up quickly enough. Also, the interactions set-up is way better than what it used to be. I really like how we can filter out people with new stuff to click.
Great job, guys! Just when we think GPX can't get any better, it does. XD
Looks like my guide needs a rev-amp soon.
Ah, OK, thanks Zerx.
Oh, and when I clicked to view my Achievements, I keep getting the 404 Error when clicking from my user page. Are you still working on it?
I really cannot express ENOUGH how incredibly awesome the redesign is. Very, VERY good work, guys!! This is just incredibly exciting. ^___^ LOVE the poketech, LOVELOVELOVE the interactions tab, very happy about the underground, just... all over, yeah, REALLY nice.
One hardly-worth-mentioning glitch I saw, in the Daycare tab, when you click on the Silph scope, if you don't select an egg, and then move away from that tab, the next time you go the Daycare, you have to click the Silph scope again. Not a huge deal, of course, and I'm sorry if someone has already mentioned that, just didn't want to read through 3 pages here.
VERY cool update!!
The new design for gpxplus.net is amazing!
Everything is easier to use, and things aren't really that complicated anymore!
I hope that you guys finish this soon!
I love the Interactions tab - it's fantastic to be able to see who has Pokemon you can interact with, and be able to interact with them so easily!
I like the roundness of everything, the way all the messages about hatching Pokemon and stuff don't get in the way any more, the mouse-over text on everything, re-ordering your party without going to the PC, re-ordering Poketch tabs, allowing people to see as many or as few of your tabs as you like, and probably some other stuff I've missed.
I think, though, my second-favourite thing on the new site (after the Interactions tab) is that you've changed "Abandon" to "Release". Abandoning a Pokemon always seemed rather cruel, whereas releasing them is fine! It's the little things
I do have an observation (NOT a criticism) and an issue:
Observation: Being able to get at people's Pokemon so quickly means even fewer people will read other people's Journals. It kinda makes using the site less personal, but also quicker, easier, and more convenient. *Shrugs*
Issue: I'm not sure if it's just me, but the Multi Links addon for Firefox doesn't seem to like the Online Users list. On every other page it seems fine, but on that page it's really really laggy. As in, even though the page is fully loaded, it still takes about 3-4 seconds for the green select-y rectangle to appear when I drag a right-click, whereas normally it'd come up pretty much instantly. It then lags as I'm dragging, as well, and then even if I don't select anything, it takes about 3-4 seconds again to disappear when I release the mouse button (again, usually instantaneous).
It may just be a result of the huge amount of links on the page or something, but just in case it is something you guys can fix, I'm using Vista, Firefox 3.5.7, and Multi Links 2.0.0.13.
But yeah, on the whole, I love the new site! Thank you so much for all the work you've put into it!
Nice update. I really hate the 'poketch' tab thought. I wish it had been left 'party'. My brain can't seem to grasp the change and has my mouse hovering back and forth over the bar looking for my party page.
The Party part looks a little odd, I guess I'll get used to it, but other than that I love it.
I really love the idea behind the "Users who've interacted with your Pokemon" section especially the ones you've interacted with that have Pokemon in their party that you haven't yet interacted. It's very satisfying to the stalker-like impulses I'm sure we all have (or at least I think we all have. I'd hate knowing I was the only one :p). Is it possible to easily open all of these Pokemon in their own tabs or at least a set number like 100, 200, 500, etc.?
The first time I tried the achievements check, it gave me an "error in database" message. The second time it gave me an error message but gave me the answer I expected. Could this be a fluke (sort of like the odd database error I've seen that says just to reload the page and not bother reporting) or maybe a result of the fact that I had no new achievements to unlock?
Looks EFFIN awesome.
The end. <3
Got to say. So far I love the idea of having most of the features accessible through poketch. This looks amazing.
A general question to anyone complaining of poor browser performance: how many of you are using the latest version of multi-links? As we found out http://forums.gtsplus.net/index.php?showtopic=30248, it apparently has severely negative impacts on performance.
Also, I'm adding settings right now for switching between images on the online list and interacts tab. They should be ready shortly. I've also added alt-texts for these party images so that you can have images disabled and still click them.
went over the site and wow............
just loved the bit of work u guys did...........
brilliant guys..........
u guys really look out for the site......
thanx so much for caring..........
IM completely lost!
but i'll get used to it lol
thank you for your hard work, Staff
razz
I really like the re-designed site!
Especially the online list! Nice touch putting clickable party members on the list.
Oh, and I sent my Beldum to test the new Underground. Hope it brings something back.
The future is now. The future is round.
The future is now. The future is round.
I went to the site. But something is wrong. It looks like the normal GPX+? Is there something wrong with my Cpmputer? I dunno what to do?
Another Question: How can I get that setting back that if I click on 'Open all Pokemon in new Tabs' that they will appear at the end of all of my tabs I have open at that time? Because it's a little bothersome to click like that ._.
This is amazing! It's also very good with my method of mass-clicking, as I can open people's pokemon without going to their pages first. One question: If you take a pokemon out of the Underground, can it go back in again later, or is its one time used up?
Erk...
I haven't been part of this site for very long, but I gotta tell ya... maybe it's because I loved the 'old' design a lot, but I'm just not that into the new stuff.
Granted, it'll probably take me a long time to adjust. Some of it's cool - like seeing the Pokémon on people who've clicked you and stuff - I'm down with that. But a lot of it just seems... cluttered and unnecessary.
I dunno. I think I'll stick with my old version for now.
I just wanted to add as a side note: Thank you for keeping the option open for people like me who might prefer to stick to the old version. That's lovely. Thank you
cool
AAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhh
one question the mystery counter funtion for all user of GPPlus
i believe that for me only
xDDDDDDDDDDDD
LOL
;bOkay, after using the new site a bit, I have to retract my earlier statement about the interactions tab. It is quite awesome!
Would it ever be possible to be able to choose how many people to display on the Online List per page? I want to be able to show the party images, but basically the Online List freezes my browser because of the size.
I have a question.
The TableTabs for mass-clicking from the online list doesn't seem to work.
Could someone address this please?
Tis epic. It'll take a while to get used to, but tis still very epic.
Wait a minute. The underground can generate corruption orbs and summoning items?
I'M SOLD.
I'm still really annoyed by the things I mentioned back on page 10, but ehh. I guess I'll get over it. Possibly. Maybe. xD
OK, nevermind, it's working now. I was basically talking about the link at the bottom of the user page that would take you to the user's achievements and what they still need and whatnot. It is now redirecting me to the tab for them. It wasn't doing that before.
Minor nitpick:
Not a fan of the rounded edges. I went through a "round" phase when I was working on a website years back, and I quickly dropped it when I noticed how ugly it looked. I realize my sole dissent won't change things, but I had to vent :P
Somewhat major:
No no no on that stripped background when hatching an egg x_x I was starting to get a headache from percieving it in my periphery. Would it be at all possible to just put a whole-screen transparency instead of that two-tone thing? I and my brain thank you ; ;
Definitely major:
Looking forward to the whole limiting images on image-heavy parts of the site. The online list almost killed my browser, so having the ability to disable them would be nice.
I have someone in my Interactions tab who will always come up as a blank page when I click the username. Their username is 13. I can click the single pokemon and from the old party page, I can access their profile as normal. I just can't reich their profile from the interactions tab.
I suspect it is because the name is a number and it probably tries to reach user number 13, not the one with the username 13.
Just one more thing i've noticed: When viewing a party, a Pokemon's nature is not shown and that slows down my clicking a bit because usually I memorize them before I click.
OK, I'm done nitpicking now. XD
ok so, some things are really nice and they made things easier - such as move to pc and party reorganizing from party, but i think that only your own party should be in that poketch form and other ppls parties the old way, it looks ugly as hell xD well do what ya want
Ohhhhh. I practically fell all over myself when I saw the awesomeness that is the new Poketch.
A quick question though- when I tried to switch between tabs on the Poketch (down at the bottom) too quickly, it lagged and wouldn't change for about 30 seconds. That's probably just a problem on my end though.
I have to agree with Ghost of Starscream though - perhaps not quite so much rounding on the edges. Square's just fine for me.
I've barely tapped into the new website though. I'm going to have to try everything to see how it works... including that newfangled Underground thingamabob. Sounds like another epic feature.
Okay, I did some exploring on it. I'm rather liking it. I came across a strange glitch that I figured I should report. For some reason, I can't go to 13's party. It just loads a blank white page. All of the other ones have worked for me so far. It seems 13 is the only one not showing up at the moment for me. :/ If any more turn out like that, I will make sure I say so. =D
EDIT: Nevermond. Just noticed it was already pointed out. *slaps forehead* That's what I get for only reading the first few pages. x.x
after opening pokemon from the user's online list the lag becomes horrible and that's only if i open one party forget it i open two party's then its impossible i know its not me because earlier on the old site it was fine but other than that the site has become amazing beyond belief
New site is AWESOME!!
No bugs so far and it is so much easier to use once you get used to it.
Big thanks to the Mods!
Gumball
I've been testing it out for the past few hours and it looks great. Just a little suggestion: I think that the Interactions tab should be first, and that the selected option for interactions should stay open until it is closed, rather than automatically closing every time you move to another page.
The new site is deliciously FIERCE HONEY
how fierce is it?
ITS MISS JAY FIERCE
how fierce is it?
ITS TYRA BANKS FIERCE
how fierce is it?
ITS SASHA FIERCE how gay are you?
GAY ENOUGH FOR U, BOO!
anyways, I like it. I just dont like the people that have clicked u thang cuz it has they name links and they pokemon links so its all yeah
I saw that you made it a different color in the online list for people who had no Pokemon in there party. But could you make it so it looks like that for party's that you've clicked?
It'll take a bit to be completely used to it but I like it.
..The Help page is very helpful, I don't have to ask a shit ton of questions now.
It looks good so far, but it'll defiantly take some time getting used to if the old site becomes inaccessible.
The tab system annoys a little bit me so far. I might just have to get used to it.
For example, the sentence "Users who have Pokémon with which I may interact who..." registers as gibberish to me and it almost seems like I'm talking to myself while reading that.
Everything seems big and bulky, and I'm not sure how I feel about this. Everything on the old site is small, and I kinda like that.
I just need to find out how to stay on the same tab when I click the "open all pokemon in new windows" button and I'll be cool with everything (damn you google for not giving me answers!).
WOW! this is so cool! great job
Just wondering what the Underground is? I bought the toolkit now I just wanna know what it is before trying to send a pokemon off there
EDIT: nvm, saw the inderground tab. no bugs so far
I don't know if it's been mentioned before (because I'm a bit too lazy to wander through pages and pages of comments) but the "update the information in this window" button in the interactions tab doesn't work.
At least not for me.
It's been sitting on "Please Wait..." for about 10 minutes now.
Other than that, I think everything is quite shiny.
I just had something else; when I tried to click an egg in the lab, a message popped up saying roughly. "an error has occured; your selection is invalid." Is that the new message when trying to take an egg that someone else already took, or is it a bug?
Question: Are the locations of lil man, Manaphy egg, and TCs the same, different, or will we have to find that out for ourselves?
I'm loving the new site. I appreciate all the hard work you all did in making this happen.
I am encountering the same lag and difficulty tabbing through my tabs when I choose parties off the Users Online list. I've chosen them from my own interactions tab with no similar difficulty.
I click around with images turned off (mainly for speed reasons). In the old site, I found the notifications very helpful when you're in the middle of a mass-clicking. But I just noticed that the notifications on the new site (bouncy egg and daycare man) are not visible at all with images off.
Is it possible to have them "visible" during image-off?
(ie. a text saying "egg" where the egg is supposed to be during image-off)
Man,i dont have enough interactions :[ but it sounds cool though
omg one of the best updates yet <3
not a big issue, but in the new help page (legendary section) there is a little mistake: "Immediately after being summoned, the summoner will have five minutes during with he, and only he may claim this egg." (it should be which) and an extra comma that shouldn't be there: "Using a Repel in conjunction with a Summoning Item is often helpful, if it's a Legendary you've never obtained in the past." it's the comma between "helpful" and "if".
I didn't read all the pages but I did search the thread for the word 'underground' so it seems no one's asked this yet. Anyway, does your Pokemon gain maturity underground?
I was kinda hoping the order of the stats would change. At least with the total/proper interactions on the very bottom with the item stats somewhere else. Ah well, it's a minor thing and the rest rocks so why complain. ;P
I do have a few irks with it. Like the tab system for the Journal and Pal Pad. But other than that I love the new design. It runs so much smoother and is pretty easy to figure out.
Just tried out the new layout, I really love it, very easy to use and everything is more condensed now, so the header isn't taking up much screen space, good work
Sweet, I'll have to give the Explorer Kit a try since I can afford it.
will it tell you your pokemon is back from underground where it says your eggs ready to hatch and all that? also does it go for time or interactions
One of my eggs won't hatch...On either site.
