As most of you well know I've been shouted at and abused because I mentioned Youmeo often when I was in this section. Mostly because the site itself was bloody awful in terms of system and general design. So just going to use this thread to inform you of things we have done to turn this around.
On the 13th July we finally got an inhouse coder, one that many of you will know from Habbo. Blueprints has now joined us in Coventry to be a fulltime coder, he owned Hab-World.com and MaunteBeach. The benefit of inhouse (and a coder with a high ability) is the fact things get discussed and produced so much faster. Nick has already recieved good mail about his work on the current Youmeo.
Main thing is Nick and myself decided to overhaul the ENTIRE site so we can get it 100% secure, working faster, better features that work and a design which is cleaner and more colourful. We've been at it since Thursday morning now and have done a lot (we were both working till 9am this morning). What I'm going to show you is the new homepage which sense by giving a guest the option to register or login as soon as they see the site. Registering has been cut down to just what is on the homepage, so you no longer have to fill out loads of information. The navigation has also been changed to display appropriate links for which ever usergroup the user is.
I'll stop rambling on now, as I'll probably get flamed for it. Just so people can actually see we're working extremely hard getting the site perfect.
Here's a preview of the new homepage, I will post more as the pages get completed - just one of two bugs to fix before I want to show them;
