The latest and most up to date Vizzed news.

The Vizzed RGR Plugin now supports screenshots so you can now take screenshots of your games by pressing F6. To retrieve your screenshots, on the page of the game, go about half way down the page and to the left you'll find a link that says 'Click Here to Retrieve, Add or Update your Screenshots', simply click that, give your screenshot a description and it'll be submitted.

To celebrate this new feature, I've got 2 competitions, both you can win 25,000 Viz.

Failed Newbie Quiz? Simply PM me, Davideo7, and I'll reset it so that you can retake it. Remember, you get up to 400 Viz for taking the newbie quiz and it allows you to post (and you get around 10 Viz per a post you make).

The Plugin we released a few days ago had problems with it but we have fixed those problems and have re-released it. Download it here

Turns out some of the games weren't working after the transfer and some people were unable to load or save their games. This should be fixed but if not, please report any other problems that you might be having that has come up after the server transfer a few days ago in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=11194

The server migration took longer than expected (full details here) but everything is finished being transferred and we are of course on the new server

The new server is over twice as powerful which means that the site will be able to handle over doubled the traffic, we shouldn't have to upgrade again for the rest of the year. Also the new server has file mirroring which greatly reduces the chances of files getting corrupted such as your save files. And the other big change is that the disk space of the new server is over doubled which means I've got more space to add more games in the future.

Thanks for everyones patience during the transfer. I know I had originally said it'd only take 12 hours but ended up taking 36 hours.

If anyone notices any problems that may have been caused from the transfer, please report them ASAP in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=11155

Any time between now and Thursday there will be some down time, possibly up to 12 hours. No data will be loss.

Vizzed is migrating to a more powerful server which will be literally over twice as powerful. The reason for this migration is that the Vizzed traffic is expected to increase rapidly during the next few months and since the CPU usage is already getting near 90% during peak hours, now is the best time to do the migration.

Any questions, please post them here:

Well as you can all see, the New Board Experience has launched!

If for some reason you're still seeing old graphics, simply press Ctrl + F5, because you're browser is probably caching the old graphics. You may need to do this for multiple pages.

What's new on the New Experience?
-Chat Bar
At the bottom of every page, you'll see a chat bar which lets you chat with your friends, tells you which friends are online and also lets you either create or enter a user created chat room and chat with others (this is based on the cometchat plugin I purchased but spent an entire day alone modifying and working on). You can disable the plugin in the edit profile page, or you can simply make it so that it appears on the index only.

-All new graphics and scheme
Completely updated graphics and a new design which makes navigating the site easier and quicker

-Friends list
You can add users to your friends list but either going to the Control Panel and than to Friends List, or you can add them from their profile

-Status Bar
Below the banner you will see a status bar which now shows who is also on that page for every single page

-You now get 100 Viz for coming to vizzed board each day (before it was 50)

-Help Links
This isn't finished yet but I plan to make terminology that users are unfamiliar with clickable links (as you can see, the word 'viz' is a clickable link in most areas which now takes you to a page telling you how to earn it and what it is

-Optimization
Many pages have been optimized so that they put less strain on the server and also make the page load faster

-About Us page
Gives detailed information about vizzed from general information, credits, privacy policy, disclaimer and some history

-Updated Index
Gives a little more information, has a google search and also encourages users to bookmark the page

-Viz Center
Gives you your referral link (like before) but also shows your Viz count, has a donation button and has a link you can click for more information

-Etc



Please report any problems you may have with the new experience in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=10717
but PLEASE be specific and detailed. It's not quite finished but I figured it was far enough along to go live.

All you have to do is place your referral link on any website or email it to anyone and you'll earn Viz!

Post your referral link on any website, your facebook / myspace / twitter profile, email it to people, post it on youtube, post it in your signature or bio of another message board, etc... or tell your friends about (if your friend signs up without a referral link, on the registration page they can choose your username as the person who referred them and you'll still get credit).

You can find your referral link near the top of every page directly above the message center. The referral link takes the person to the same page you got your referral link on.

Here's how much Viz you get from referrals:
-For every person with a unique IP who visits your referral link, you earn 100 Viz
-If a person you referred registers, you earn an additional 400 Viz
-If the user you referred makes a post, you earn an additional 500 Viz
-You also earn 5 Viz for every single post the person makes that you referred

You can see a list of all the people who you referred that signed up by going to your profile; you'll also receive a notification.
