Another UPDATE for the Bungie.Next BETA

As part of our continuing mission to bombard the Bungie.next Beta with your better salvos of feedback, we’ve deployed another update. If you take a deep inhale, you can smell the fresh code. It smells like… victory. In keeping with our pledge to keep you slightly briefed on our grand conspiracy to reinvent your home in our domain, a list of the more apparent changes are found below. First, some highlights for this new version. Here are the fixes we think you’ll be most excited about… [b]Throw your voice into a specific Forum Category.[/b] We’ve added some structure to the party, thus preserving the unique discussion parlors that you’ve come to know and love. Forum Categories are exclusive buckets of conversation – so you’ll only be able to pick one. They can be selected from a dropdown menu as you draft a Topic. Yes, there’s a reservoir for The Flood. You still have the ability to apply tags to each post, but you won’t be able to use the official tags that drive the Categories. [u]Please Note[/u]: Older topics will still straddle multiple categories. New ones won't. [b]We’re dark (again) bro.[/b] One or two of you may have mentioned that they missed the smoky aesthetic of the old and busted Bungie.net. We can’t imagine why, but we love you way too much to let such polite feedback float away on the breeze. To turn out your respective lights, visit the Display options on the Settings page under your profile. That should hold you over until the end of the beta. [u]Please Note[/u]: You may find holes in the new dark theme. Keep Calm and Report to #Feedback. [b]If you crave every last detail[/b], here’s the rest of the changes (some large, some small): -you can now filter the Activity feed by the people you’re following -the Social feed on the front page displays the entire entry -the autocomplete no longer returns duplicate users -email addresses are now a hidden value on your profile page -when you sign out of your account on the profile page, it goes away -links on the careers page have been fixed -fixed the display for all time latest topics -the navigation bar for the mobile view scrolls when zoomed in -Ninjas can edit replies to official posts -a new menu for Display Options is available in Settings -the reply button now appears when you access a forum reply via permalink -issues with capitalized file extensions for embedded have been fixed -the FORUMS link at the top of the display leads to the Categories menu -forum titles are now active links that refresh the Topic index That’s all for now, and that’s enough. This was not the first to update to Bungie.next. It won’t be the last. We’re still tinkering with the controls on the bridge, and there are still items on your wish list that are being made real. Some fixes just take longer than others. Keep the chatter coming. Let us know how the new changes impact your experience.

  • The forum groups thing is great. I also love the fact that there's a dark theme, though I'd honestly like it to be considerably darker, almost black. I'll still be using my own custom theme as it's still that bit easier on the eyes IMO, though a dark theme without requiring third-party plug-ins is obviously ideal. One question I have: am I supposed to get a group request notification every time someone joins a group I founded? The group is open to all and doesn't require approval, yet each notification seems to be a group join [i]request[/i]. The group's growing fairly quickly so I'm getting a decent number of notifications - yes I realise I can disable them, but I didn't think I was supposed to be seeing them at all with an open group.
