I've been spending the past few weeks making the site more adaptive so that everyone has the same site experience and features no matter what device they're on. Instead of spending a bunch of time trying to explain how responsive the new layout is, I've made a video to demonstrate it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1qOJOJjv8s

Things added or updated in the past 3 weeks:
-Site adapts to almost every screen size
-Users on mobile devices now have access to far more content now
-The size of the generated HTML of the pages is a little smaller, allowing for quicker page loads
-Site users less Javascript, which helps reduce the amount of strain the site can put on your browser
-Site can be shrunk down to a width of 250 pixels
-Messages Center takes up less space
-Site reserves more space for showing who is on a page and the users with less posts take up less space
-Vizzed GO box takes up a lot less space now
-Rearranged some ads
-Enhanced the appearances of various elements on the site and with the way some things are displayed

Things fixed:
-Some old post layouts have been fixed
-Added a ? icon to the header links which allows you to access links that would sometimes get cut off due to lack of space
-Information and Navigation Columns no longer exceed the vertical height of browsers that aren't very tall (they receive scroll bars instead of being cut off)
-Navigation Column also received scroll bar if there are too many links and the links exceed the height of the Navigation Column (especially good for staff, who have access to a lot of links)
-Fixed an issue with the HTML5 RetroArch emulator where the game fails to load on the first attempt
-Some posts couldn't be editted, this issue is fixed
-For posts that have been edited, the previous post box didn't display what the previous post's contents looked like, this is fixed


What sparked this series of updates was when I realized my ad revenue wasn't as high as it could be. Ad Manager told me that the ads for mobile devices were low because of the way the site displayed its content to mobile devices. Basically mobile devices were viewing a different site layout, but now that's not the case. I also noticed that Google was in some situations indexing the mobile pages instead of the desktop pages.

To sum things up, this series of updates should help increase site's revenue, traffic, and everyone's overall user experience.

Hello all,

I realize that the previous announcement had a bad link, and was also ill-timed. I'm making another announcement to remind everyone that the April 2020 VCS is still ongoing! There are a TON of prizes to win just for posting around the boards! You can find more information here, if I don't mess up the link again:

https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=102858

Be sure to check it out! It's far from too late to even take first place. The prizes will surely enhance your Vizzed experience.

For more information, refer to this thread:

Hello everyone!

As you all know, there was supposed to be a VCS in March. Unfortunately, due to the database issues, it had to be postponed. But now we're all raring and ready to go for April!

The prizes for this month are INCREDIBLY generous, with almost 600,000 Viz going around, as well as extra goodies! This opportunity is PERFECT for the newbies looking for more Viz and have something to say! I hope you'll all consider giving it a shot!

You can find more details here:

Registration for our annual Bomberman '94 Tournament ends in 24 hours! Be sure to sign up if you have any interest at all.
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=102813

For the first time ever, I'm offer a custom username style to the winner of this Tournament. And for those who don't know, Foxyman1113 dethroned me last year so I can be beat. I'm also offering up cash prizes again like last year.

This could potentially be the last Bomberman Tournament that I host due to the potential discontinuation of the RGR Plugin at the end of the year so I'm hoping we can get as many users involved in this. Maybe not for the purpose of winning but for the purpose of having a reason to hang out and chat.





In this tournament we'll be playing Bomberman '94 for the Turbo Grafx. Each user will play 2 matchups a week. You get to choose which day and time you want to play each week from a list of available times and days. Each matchup could be any of the following:
-1-5 Player Free for All
-2 Players vs 2 Players
-1 Player vs 1 Player
-Other possible combinations


This tournament is incredibly flexible to everyone's schedule. Each week you can choose between the selectable times and days that you're available to play. As long as you're available 2 nights a week between 4 PM - 9 PM central time Tuesday-Friday nights then you'll be able to participate. You can even miss a few matchups and still have a shot at making it to the final matchup (but just don't miss too many otherwise you'll be added to the netplay ban list).
