Upcoming changes for Dual-boxing.com

There are a few projects I have in the works that I wanted to share with everyone. We're not doing a huge migration again so don't worry! There are a few things I've done (IS and Keyclone badges, WoW armory links in posts) that have always been spur of the moment "OH SHINEY!" So here is what I'm working on to help enhance the site / help you share your multiboxing experiences.

Upcoming changes:
Short Term:


WoW Armory integration
Multiboxing Arena Forums
PvE Achievement tracking
Profile RSS feeds from WoWArmory
New Users Forum Sticky Cleanup / Organization
Streamline the portal to be a bit cleaner

Longer Term:


Wiki Cleanup / Revamp
Site optimization for mobile platforms (iPhone / blackberry / android)


If you have any suggestions or comments feel free to reply!

I can't tell you how much I want to do this asap. But I'm a lot closer to finishing other projects, and this would probably take longer >.<

Is it wrong that I always "hear" Naysayers posts in my head as if they are being spoken by Vizzini? (the "INCONCEIVABLE!" guy in his avatar pic)

Something tells me I can't be the only one...

Honestly I didn't... until now. It will now forever be.

Hey Svpernova, I was actually wondering if there was any way to further customize the appearance of the WoW Armory dropdown links under usernames or in profiles.

Obviously, they are incredibly useful as is, but when you start coming across people with multiple groups listed, or even same class/differing roles, it would be a really nice bonus to be able to look at the dropdown and know what toon is doing what, without having to open several armory links. For example -

Probably way beyond the scope of what can be done, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

A good idea. Not sure how it would work. The function that displays the toons is a full blown plugin. I may take a peek at it's code and see if I can figure something out. I wish I could change how you enter your toons. I've been basing all my armory code off the block that this script reads from the user profile so you don't have to enter your toons twice. I'll see if I can figure something out.

Any volunteers to get me decent quality (IE like Khatovar posted) icons of the Tank, healer and DPS Icons that the dungeon finder uses?

[alcattle]

just noticed the thread layers are different now. If you see a message and dive right to it. you are fine, but then when you want to go uptree, you get no messages and have to continue to the top. IE Click on a message in LoB thread, go up to LoB forum you see all messages. Go up again and you won't see that layer. You should see LoB, Zerg, EU-Zerg and one other. Not a big deal, just seemed dufferent

Here's some square ones, too. They are easier to see. I can try to clean them up some, too. Just a quick set while onthe everlasting flight to Tanaris.

Coo, I'll see if I can get the plugin to use these as well as faction icons.
