As you may have noticed, we've made a few changes to the TL frontpage. Below the news boxes you can now find shortcuts to easily filter the frontpage content to the games of your choice, with one click to enable or disable frontpage coverage of a particular game. In addition, game-specific icons now appear on the news images to let you know what they're about.
We've also removed the rarely used Recent Results section and replaced it with a Featured Video, allowing a quick way to get to the latest video content that we want to highlight. Links to Liquipedia have been added to make up for the loss of the Recent Results section.
Remember, if you want to control what kind of forums, streams and calendar events are visible, you can use the Customize Sidebar link located beneath each sidebar to control your preferences. No TL account is required to use this feature.

I use Recent Results everyday!
|
I actually really liked the recent results section ... any way it could be revamped and re added.
I think a ticker with results across the top would be cool or a box with rotating results for last 24-48hrs that you could click on if you wanted more detailed results from liquipedia. (not complaining ... just suggestions)
|
oh, this wasn't immediately apparent, but the buttons are toggleable, so you can have say dota2 and bw, but not sc2 on the fp (I thought it would toggle for a single game the way the navbar does). Regardless, nice additions R1CH!
|
V.Nice... If only Blizzard looked after its community as wel as Liquid does :D
|
On Firefox 18/Linux/Min font size set to 12, the div on the left is too small.
<div style="float: left; width: 252px;">
Fixes it.

I think the problem with the recent results box was that it wasn't consistent in being updated. Maybe you could have a link to the recent results page on liquipedia to replace it.

Thanks, fixed.
|
Edit: I just didn't understand it
|
I like it. One little bug though:
The large photo in the center has the logo behind the photo-credit.
Right now, "photo: silverfire" is written in front of the SC2-Logo. I don't know if the credit is part of the image or added later on, but you might consider changing text position for credit to the top right.
EDIT: On second glance, it's the other way round. Logo in front of text.
|
the icons are kind of small. but i guess i'll get used to that

Updates! Always nice 
|
I agree on the icons being a little bit small..
Nice updates. Thanks!
|
fix the community news and headlines column pls, the text going below the icons looks awful 
|
I was thinking of posting this in website feedback, but since you made this thread...
Is it possible to have the coverage preferences applied to the "Liquid Team News" section?
I don't have anything against Liquid investing in a Dota team or something like that, I think it's great for Liquid actually, but I just don't care about the game.
So, every time I see something like "Liquid vs X" posted on the news I immediately think "Oh, cool!" and click the link, but then it's Dota...

I'm an idiot I thought it was a link to the wiki front page

My featured video pokes out into the live streams.
On firefox, ill get a screenshot in a sec.
edit: Here

I used recent results all the time!

Hey Rich,
I'm on WXP Firefox latest (didn't try on other thing). I think that the "double icon" on the front of this thread is bugging to bottom of the news bottom. It looks funny and i think that it's shrinking the text of the last news.
Didn't try to inspectorDom it but i think it's just about the \r or whatever is behind the double icon.
|
like the update, watching TL attack w/ Naniwa right now 
|
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/uiUgQog.png)
It's off :/
Other than that, it looks nice
|
Nnnnnnooooooo not the recent results:-(:-(
|
I've been waiting for this.
Thanks
Would it be possible for RSS, too?
|
is there anyway to get the recent results back? I used it almost daily:>
|
Great changes!
One suggestion though: filtering by SC2/BW/Dota2 content should also filter streams.
Keep up the good work
|
Im sorry but i dont see anything out of the ordinary, If anyone could pm me where the new stuff is ? xD
|

Definitely like it. Hope you'll keep the videos section updated. I'm assuming it'll be mostly TL Attack/TSL or something similar. I feel the TeamLiquid Legacy VODs should pop up there every once in a while, just sayin :>
|
Ah too bad i really liked the Recent Results. But i can get used too not having it. ^_^ Nice update!
|
Nice update ! Thank you for the work !

You can already filter which streams show up though...

Great update

Community News and Headlines is now broken for me O.o News are jumping under the symbols of the games and so its kind of strange now O.o cause some text is missing or hiding behind lines T_T
|
The Recent Results section was so useful! Please bring it back!

It's always important to update site features. TL has been great about this lately. Thank you!
|
|
|
Little update but i like it.

I love the new features they look great
|
I always used the recent results.... but lately it has felt like it isn't updated regularly, so I guess it makes sense.
|
nooo i want those recent results back well... at least the other changes are good
|
|
|
league of legends should be the next step!
|
|
|
very clean, I like it a lot.
|
Am I missing something? I've had other games disables for ages already, and the recent results link is still there on the right side for me. Everything still looks the same to me.
Edit: Ah, I noticed the changes. Looks useful.
|
hmm, it looks great, but why did u remove the dates of the news section?? I mean, for example: "KiLLeR joins clarity gaming", before the update there stood beside that 27-01-13 and now nothing??
|
Amazing.
And just like that, you can pick at least one more game to cover.
|
Awesome new icons.
The old brood war icon sucked.
Excellent work, boys.
|
Sweeeeet - dota be gone with you!
|
I always used the recent results it was the easiest way to get to the LP of the tournament and see the bracket and didnt involve searching for the tournament in events...but still some nice features, the filters were already there if you used settings, but i guess it's easier now
|
Very cool little update, like it a lot
|
Thank you for these changes, I love them. This will surely enR1CH my Team Liquid browsing experience.
|
Nice update. The icons look cool, the Wraith (?) was a bit confusing since I opened TL at work and there was a BW symbol. But since SC2 and Dota 2 are easy to identify there wasn´t much left ^^.
The transparent symbols look really cool, perhaps a bit small.
Edit: Did I mention they look cool?...
|
What about Power Rank? It hasn't been updated in ages since Kespa teams moved to SC2.
|
|
|
I understand the liquipedia highlight, but I liked the last result zone on the front page.
|
|
|
Hah! I just noticed the icon updates to match the actual program icons.
Neat!
|
I think that featured video is unnecessary. TL attacks happens not that often, new sign ups for TL are even more rare (obviously). I may be wrong, but if that video will be updated only a few times a year, then it's useless. Oh well, I guess I'll just wait a bit and if it will be like I think, then it's easily removable with browser's plugins anyway.
Icons looks nice, but if I'm interested only in SC2 content and hide Dota2 and BW, then there's no icons. It makes sense, but it doesn't make it look better ( I think it looks better with icons ).
|
I don't care too much either way about the video or results, but I must say I'd like the old icons back. These seem way too small and detailed to easily identify.
|
R1CH,
Any chance we will be able to filter TLPro the same way? I dislike having to sort through DOTA stuff when all I care about is the SC2 stuff ^^;;
|
I miss the Recent results. If many people do, maybe you could think about getting it back in?
(edit: And I think it could get updatet a little bit quicker or be autoupdated via liquipedia)
|
Norway25712 Posts
Oooh, really enjying the new little icons too!
|
Not a fan of the link to the recent results instead of a little box there. I looked at it daily (when it was actually updated daily instead of monthly) and it was very convenient.
|
Nice update, always making TL better and better
|
awesome updates! really liking it!
|
I like it, good stuff
|
I found out that this thread was linked from the front page after I found it in Community. I guess that says a lot about my browsing. >_<
|
I'm another who actually liked the recent results, used it almost everytime I came to the site :/

This.
We need the dates of the news back!
@ Anda: No it was: "Jan 27 - KiLLeR joins clarity gaming"
|
Love the new BW icon
|
Is it possible to keep the icons if you leave it at 1 game? Just feels very weird without them.
|
Recent Results in Liquipedia? I use that too!
|
|
|
Recent results is an awesome feature. Nice
|
Hmm, I checked how does it looks with different browsers and it does look bad without icons.
http://postimage.org/image/aetyoga63/
Left to right. IE ( whatever version win7 have by default, never use IE, so it's very outdated ), latest FF, latest Opera.
|
is there someway to get rid of the sc2 polls and the featured video?
it s quite annoying
|
Just a minor thought. Would it be better design-wise to place the SCII, BW and Dota icons somewhere else? Or maybe make them bigger? Or change their colors, maybe. I feel like I have to look for them wherever they're placed rather than have that at-a-glance info absorption.
|
R1CH is easily #1in the world.
|
Oh man, the new icons are great.

This is a really cool idea. Kinda like an ESPN / Sports Bar kinda thing...
Going further, you could also make it an SPL stock ticker... hahaha
|
Real nice! Happy that u guys listen to us, the filters are very welcome 
|
really like the liquipedia link!
|
Nice update, this might make BW a bit more visible
|
Still like the changes, one question though; could we have the same thing for the streams? Quite nice to quickly get rid of e.g. the dota if one is not interested.
|
The Liquipedia link is a great idea. I like the changes. The icons for the games are kind of small but I guess that's good in a way that they aren't too intrusive. Go R1CH!

Icons next to community headlines are great, but when you filter out everything but one (such as SC2), the side is filled with the same icon and it doesn't look very good.
Maybe add an option to hide the icon when you only have one game selected ?

It was even worse without icons before ( after update, but without icons ), at least in my opinion. Mostly because of alignment I suppose. Icons fixed that a lil, although there's still some not good looking things. Like letters that got cut a bit.

dude its sick that i can remove all the dota stuff from my frontpage!!!! thanks for the sick personal updating abilities
|
I wish everyone put as much thought into their site as TL. These forums are always minimalistic and especially intuitive about putting links to interesting places in easily accessible locations.
