As some of you may or may not have noticed, there has been a slight update to the Orbit Hangar Mods web site. I would just like to use this thread to overview some of the new features offered by the site as well as have an open discussion for anyone who may have any ideas or criticisms of the new site.
First, the good stuff:
Add-on descriptions are now searchable. This is possible by either using the "Quick Search" on the main page or the OHM browser search plugin (both of these search for your query against all add-on names, descriptions, and authors). You can also use the "Advanced Search" section on the Search page and specify to search by add-on descriptions.
The Top25 page has now been replaced by a "Most Wanted Files" page. This page displays the 50 most downloaded add-ons of Yesterday, Last Week, Last Month, and All Time. Currently the site only has sufficient data for Yesterday and a few days prior, so the Last Week page won't be entirely accurate for a few more days. Also the Last Month page won't be accurate until a month or so from now.
One other feature which has always been available, but perhaps not in such an obvious capacity is the ability to "browse" add-ons. Just like many people, I often don't want to look for anything specific, but rather just browse what is available. Now there is a menu link on the left side of the page called "Browse". This page lists all main add-on categories and allows you to view all add-ons in those categories in list format from either newest to oldest or oldest to newest. There is also an option for each category to "Browse Visually". This option will take you to the add-on gallery page for that category, displaying all add-ons which have images associated with them for that category.
The F.A.Q. page is still a work in progress. There were just a few extremely obvious questions that I hope to never receive in e-mails again. That's more or less what is currently on that page at the moment.
The new layout/colors:
Yes, the layout is here to stay. The color options (you can select from 3 different color themes at the moment, Grey, Dark, and Light) are open to changes and additions if anyone would like to help out with these, please let me know.
Caveats:
Yes, the site looks very different. This may be frightening, exciting, and/or make you generally upset. In the event that you do not like the new layout, take a minute. Look at it again, and hopefully realize that it is the exact same site with the same functionality as before and then some. Nothing has been sacrificed for this update.
Bugs/Weird:
If you encounter any bugs on the new site, please let me know as soon as possible!
Known Issues:
No, I have not yet converted the "User Gallery" page to the new layout. That's on the to-do list.
Merry Christmas.
