Announcements

The latest and most up to date Vizzed news.

The Theme Creator lets you create your very own theme. Once you've created the theme, you can apply the theme to either a page that you have admin powers over, or you can apply it to yourself which then gives many pages of the site that custom look. Not only can you create your own theme, but you can also choose from any of the user created themes.

This has been one of the more anticipated features that I promised users years ago. Even though it still has a long way to go, I'm excited to finally launch it . Keep in mind that it'll only affect pages of the site that have been migrated to the new site engine but I plan to get more pages migrated in the near future, especially ones that are commonly used such as the New Reply page, Private Messages, Announcements and Login/Register. Also keep in mind that you can collaborate on a theme with someone by making them an "Admin" of your theme's page which gives them access to making changes to the theme (to make someone an admin of a page that you're an admin of, click the 'Edit Page' link at the top left of the page).

The feature can be found here:
https://www.vizzed.com/u/theme.php

Notable Features
-Create your own customized theme with instant previewing
-Browse user created themes to use as your own theme
-Make your theme available to the public or make it private
-See how many pages and users are using a specific theme

Future Features
-Allow users to buy and sell themes with Viz
-More customization over the look of the site
-Ability to copy "qualified" themes and alter them from there
-Rating system
-Search Features
-Make the theme creator easier to use and more user friendly

Set a Theme as Your Default Theme
To set a theme as your default site theme, click the 'Settings' link at the top left of the page and then scroll down to the 'Theme' section and from there, insert the ID of the theme you want to use.

Set a Theme for a Page
To add a theme to a page, simply click the 'Edit Page' link at the top left of a page that you have admin powers over and there should be a theme section where you can insert the ID of the theme you want to use.

I haven't done this in a while and I had originally planned on doing this every month.

I wanted to give a shout out and thanks to my supporters on Patreon. Their financial support has really helped out a lot. I'm hoping these shout outs give them more recognition among the Vizzed community. If anyone else is interested in supporting this site (there are tons of benefits for doing so), you can help out for as little as US $2 a month here:

On Wednesday, 10/24/2018, from 4-7 PM (central time zone) we'll all be listening to and rating the songs from the Sony PSP Music Competition. Shortly before each song finishes, I'll give users a link to where they can rate each song and the song submitters get points for any rating above a 3 (out of 5).

I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of $250 worth of Steam Games in the form of Vizzed Raffle Tickets which can be used to redeem Steam games and other digital games including eShop, Uplay and more. The Raffle Tickets can also be traded into the Vizzed Market for 10,000 Viz each.

The more songs you rate, the higher your chances are of winning a raffle after the stream is over. Each rating you make during the stream is basically another entry in the raffle. There will be over 1000 digital games that winners will be able to pick from. You can see a full list of redeemable games here:

In many browsers, the donation page didn't work because the donation methods on the donation page required that it be on a secure site with an SSL certificate using HTTPS but I didn't have one set up at the time so that page has been down for quite a while. It's completely functional now though and can be access here:

Most of the games in the Retro Game Room that have had problems either recently or in the past year have been fixed. This mostly applies to any game that uses the RGR Plugin.

Here's a brief list of what was fixed:
-GBA and N64 (hadn't worked in about a week or more)
-Arcade and MESS systems (same issue as GBA & N64)
-Dreamcast (hasn't worked properly in almost 9 months)
-Saving, Loading and Screenshot taking (had been down 1+ weeks)
-Arcade Clones (the list of available clones for a game hasn't been available in almost 9 months)
-Game Page URLs (not sure for how long but some links to game pages from various sections of the site didn't work properly)
-Google Chrome (a recent Chrome update made it harder to get working, should be better now since it gives you something to click for enabling Flash on Vizzed)
-Lots of other little things

If there are other RGR related problems, let me know right away in the below thread and I'll try and get it fixed as soon as I can (assuming it's not a time consuming fix):

I purchased and setup an SSL Certificate for Vizzed.com and now the entire site automatically transfers you to it. This makes the site more secure but it also greatly improves the site's reputation online and therefore increases the search engine rank since search engines like Google reward a site's ranking if the site is using https.

I had to go through a lot of pages to make sure everything is pointing to the new URL since a lot of pages stopped working because of it. If a page has content (such as images) that aren't using https on a page that is using https, most browsers throw a security warning and some don't even let you view the page. If anyone notices a page on the site that is no longer working, let me know right away in the following thread:
