It took nine hours, but the groups area is now completely revamped. The only aspect that is still not working are Group Applications. For the time being, if you wish to create a group, let me know.

Groups Index Page
The biggest change is in how groups are laid out. This is a complete change from what we had before, and all groups are now organized into six categories. When viewing a category, the groups are laid out with their group image. Hover your mouse over one, and the description appears.

Switching between categories is handled using ajax, so the page never refreshes (unless you go back to the main index page).

Group Pages
Group pages are now designed like they were on the old YWS. There aren't any big things of note, but everyone will now notice how easy it is to join a group again!


In any case, check out the Groups Index page for yourself. And please let me know if there are any bugs.

You are my hero Nate! I love the new categories for groups, it's very clean and easy to navigate and really I could just strangle you with love!

Awesome! That is absolutely fantastic Nate.

And, *cough* I think Whovians, The (about Dr. Who) belong in Hobbies and Interests with all the other t.v. shows.

Note to self: Poke around everything before actually saying something.

I noticed "Save Energy, Waste Paper" is in "Hobbies and Interest" when it's a writing class.

I've poked around now! :P

Looks good enough to eat! :D

Edit:

Did I mention the picture for Matt's Happy Place freaks me out/makes my day.

Awesome!

I don't know if this is just me, but I can't find the Mentors forum anywhere?

It's gone. I deleted it since it had less than 20 posts. If you would like to set up a new one, just gather together seven people and send me a PM.

Oh, ok. That's fair enough. I'll ask Kitty whether the system is still going. Thanks so much for clearing that up for me!
