Preform, Market Watcher, AUF Updated

Thursday, April 1st 2010

Preform, Market Watcher, and AUF were just updated. These are mostly maintenance releases as I am no longer actively playing the game. (indeed I had to resub just to fix these. Feel free to donate! :) Preform broke in the 3.3.3 patch due to the new random battelground system. (which also removed the need of the addon as far as I can tell, since random BGs killed non-random BGs) Market Watcher's quick sell duration was fixed as Blizzard changed the auction sell API function in the 3.3.3 patch.

Arena Unit Frames did get some minor new features. The background color is now selectable, and opacity sliders were enabled for all colors. Trinket cooldown indicators/alerts now trigger on use of the human racial. (this is more of a bug fix/oversight though. sorry) A new option to always display the hp/mana text over unit status bars was added. The status bar graphic was replaced with the default minimalist graphic due to the WoW client not stretching images as the latest patch seems to be bugged in that regard. Also, the defaults button will now function for this addon on the config panel.

New Host; No More CMS

Monday, March 8th 2010

This site now has a new host. My old host was pretty much overkill for this site and so was a waste of money. This site is now hosted by 000webhost.com, which is actually a free web host. (figured I'd plug them since they are hosting me for nothing) I've yet to find a web provider that didn't end up disappointing me in some way, so we'll have to see how these guys work out. So far they seem good.

I dumped my old CMS (content management system) with the move. Drupal was overkill for my site and it was obnoxious to update, so I'm going old school and editing the page's HTML directly. It won't be quite as snazzy, but then everybody gets my stuff from curse anyway. At least pages will load super fast this way.

The contact page will (eventually) have a way to contact me without needing to log in as well. No more hassle.
