The major issues with the new site have been fixed. Before fixing the smaller issues, let me explain what new things came along with the new site.

LAYOUT

The biggest change is of course the layout. The most important reason for changing this was I would get rid of the frames the old layout awas using. The site needed to grow and with frames that wasn't possible. The site has been divided into 9 sections, all having their own subdomain. The 6 accessible from the top navigation are :

HOME : <A href="http://www.letssingit.com">www.letssingit.com</A>
ARTISTS : <A href="http://artists.letssingit.com">artists.letssingit.com</A>
FORUM : <A href="http://forum.letssingit.com">forum.letssingit.com</A>
CHATROOM : <A href="http://chatroom.letssingit.com">chatroom.letssingit.com</A>
POLL : <A href="http://poll.letssingit.com">poll.letssingit.com</A>
LINKS : <A href="http://link.letssingit.com">links.letssingit.com</A>

The 3 accessible through 'other' paths :

SEARCH : <A href="http://search.letssingit.com">search.letssingit.com</A>
MEMBERS : <A href="http://members.letssingit.com">members.letssingit.com</A>
MYLETSSINGIT : <A href="http://my.letssingit.com">my.letssingit.com</A>

NEW FEATURES

Lets walk through each section and see whats new.

WWW

Only change here is the frontpage, which is still under construction. Untill this page is finished, the 'old' homepage is up. The new one will become a summerize of the entire site, think of the poll for today, the top 5 active forum-topics, most popular songs, new member weblogs, new uploaded artists pictures, etc, etc.

ARTISTS

Wew, a lot to mention here. To begin with the smallest change, but important one; adding new artists now also go through the 'review' system. Further at this review system, reviewers can not only vote, but also leave a comment to be read for the next reviewers.

Ok now the biggest change at this section. As you know each artist has its own 'map'. A lot of new items (sub sections) have been added here; "news" and "pictures" are totally new items. The album and song lists have been placed under "discography". Last the "overview"-page will give you ca quick summerize of what is on all these other pages. More, everywhere in an artist map you can discuss the content. Before, only songs could be discussed. Now you can discuss the artist itself, the news articles, biography, albums, songs, pictures and later on each listed fanpage and even the moderator.

FORUM

To the forum section I added a couple of smaller user-friendly items. The thread overviews in 'active', 'new' and in individual categories are accessible through RSS. These same thread overviews now contain quick links to first-second...before-last and last page. The first post will appear on top on every page of this same thread. Last, the whois-online now shows whois on the "site", instead of whois in the "forum".

CHATROOM

Also in this section a few user-friendly changes; you can upload a picture to the room which will appear in the chatbox as link for others once the upload has been completed. Further, at every member nickname there are several links. '?' = whois info, 'P' = start private chat, 'B' = block this member, 'H' = highlight the text by this member. Last, just like on the forum, the chatroom now also has an overview of operators.

POLL

The daily poll has gotten its own section. The biggest change here is the layout of the poll. No more bars, but a nice pie diagram. Also a search option has been added to search for old polls.

LINKS

Here webmasters are able to list their site here. Nothing important has changed here.

SEARCH

New new new... advanced search This advanced search allows you to search on multiple fields at the same time and not only in the artist-section, but also in the forum.

MEMBERS

Just like each artist on the site, each member has its own map. You can get there by clicking on a member's nickname. New are the items, 'pictures' and 'weblog'. A member can upload it's own pictures and write weblogs. Just like the artist maps, where other members can discuss every single detail, that can be done here as well. The member's "page", "pictures" and "weblog" can be discussed. Further, 'contacts' has been renamed to 'buddies' and last the 'overview' shows a small card about who this member is.

MYLETSSINGIT

Onced logged in, you can access your own area by clicking on the 'myletssingit'-link on the upper-right of the site. You'll the new items "pictures", "notepath", "weblog", "forum" and "admin". At pictures you can upload your own pictures, at "weblog" you can write your own diarary. The notepath is your reminder. At "forum" you'll find your forum related links grouped. Last, at "admin" you'll find all the tools which give you access to edit the LSI content. So if you're an artist-moderator, you can find your artist-list here. More, at my-messages message-status images have been added.

For the outer-world that's basically it! Of course just as much has changed on the inner side of LSI, the system, but I won't bother you with that. Of course a lot needs to be done. Step by step the new site will reach its end destination, but it will take some time. So if you notice pages that don't work yet, or see things are missing (artist-biography, member-pages, etc.), be patience.

And ofcourse, give yourself a moment to get used to the new site. I've heard people saying they would leave LSI forever, when the new site wans't even up for one hour. Fact is, people don't like changes and burn everything down what changes. LSI has to move on and changed are needed for that. So once you know how the new things work and when you get the feeling you've been using this new site for ever, that's the moment to judge. Just a small note from the webmaster

Now... I'll get back to work fixing minor issues and keep you posted. Have fun!
