Hey guys, I've spent some time now building up tools that will allow you to actually create new as well as rename existing heroes, skills and items, as well as upload and update their images right on the site. Up until now this is something that required direct access to the database and server, which meant I was the only one that could do it, and unfortunately I am spread incredibly thin between all of our sites at the moment (we're working on that as well!).

They are almost done, I just need to do some testing. Initially these tools will only be available to Mowen, so that she can test them and work with me to iron out any bugs. Once she has had some time with them to make sure they all work smoothly I will open them up to the Mods, Veterans and potentially further.

If this all works as planned, then we will have a number of people that can perform all of these updates and not just me, and they will happen MUCH, MUCH faster!!!

So look forward to that soon, within the next few days!

It's up! Mowen is going to start playing with it right away and help me to iron out any remaining issues. You should start to see the updates flowing some time tomorrow, and once everything is hammered out we will be able to keep things up to date MUCH more easily!

There were a number of other little fixes that went up with this, including a new member menu at the top right, check it out :) Let me know if you spot any issues!

Awesome! Thanks again Matt.

Edit: New user Panel, 'cog' or settings button hover: View button leads to blogs rather than your guides. Not sure if intended not intended, the blog button takes you to the blog so yeah just need a fix on the link and it all appears to be working fine. I much prefer this over the previous user panel :)
