New Upvote button?

16.5k L3FT2R1GHT  18 days ago

Did anyone notice? The first thing I saw was that the word 'upvote' was in all caps ('UPVOTE'). When I pressed it, it said 'WORKING IT…', and then 'REMOVE UPVOTE', without reloading the page. This is very likely a new mechanism or something in the code by the devs, and I like it.

    Here's what I believe is going on:

    (Just an opinion so take with grain of salt)

    The site is being updated so it would be the same one used for Simpleplanes2.... It may seem like it makes no sense at first... But backwards compatibility is one of the key features in the game, so logically, instead of buying a new domain, servers and etc, the devs would more likely opt to improve the current server, and just move all the SP1 builds to a "Legacy" category, while the SP2 builds are put in the spotlight, both preserving site history and saving cost

    @TheMouse and i also really hoped that andrew himself updates as to how account logins work, just so that alt accounts from the same person behind said banned accounts couldn't work and would instead add up to the strikes.

    It's even more convenient this way

    I hope so, but he was pretty busy, so I think he is still working on it.

    @G2
    Nope. You still cannot. But at least the timer is not as slow as the Juno website.

    Yup. Andrew updated it this morning. It was super glitchy at first, but he fixed it, so it seems to work quite well now.
