Xomba Blog: Welcome to the new Xomba!

  Welcome to the New and Improved Xomba.com!! We are very excited to finally see this day arrive. As a lot of you know, this has been a work in progress for about a year and a half now and we are very happy with our final product. < p>

  We have been monitoring the advertising revenue very closely and it seems to be that the new site has increased the revenue and click through rate on our end. This is great news because it means you have the opportunity to make even more money on the new site. Our goal has always been to find new and innovative ways for you to make more money and we believe we may have found it.

  There are some great new features on our new private messages. You can now block an user who is sending you spam through your inbox with the click of a button. On the bottom of your message there will be a button prompting you to "block". This allows you to block the user so that no one else will receive spam from this user. You can also choose to only receive private messages from your friends. When viewing your profile you can click on the "edit" tab, there will be an option under that tab to allow only your friends to send you a private message. This feature will help to eliminate unwanted messages from unknown users.

  The emails and comments we have received from you have been very helpful. We have been trying to figure out the little bugs that still exist. We have also been trying to address the concerns you have brought to our attention. You can always find the recent xombytes and xomblurbs on the top of every page. The links are as follows Xombytes: http://www.xomba.com/xombyte-reverse     Xomblurbs: http://www.xomba.com/xomblurb-reverse.
You can also find the recent comments at http://www.xomba.com/comments/recent.  These are all concerns that have been voiced and we feel as though we have addressed these concerns with the above links.

  Found new bugs? Use the Beta tab on the left-hand side to inform us of all your findings.

  Hope everyone is having a great week!!

I'm likin it

The new image is really cool.  Loving it.  Almost as much a I am loving the new computer that I get to use now.

Blessings Be Upon You and All That Is Yours,

Update

I promise we'll have a blog post tomorrow.

Stay tuned.

Regarding Issues

1. It will happen, but we have to get bugs cleaned out first.

2. This should be cleared up this week. We have your images don't worry.

3. As of right now we have no plans to allow users to post code. It's just to dangerous. The best way to proceed is to let us know what code doesn't work by emailing us.

Xomba Redefined!

The new look Xomba is Lean & Professional.

The CTRs have edged up for sure.

Color schemes are clean and neat. Nothing jarring to the eye.

User's articles get much more coverage.

Editing and composing bytes / blurbs are a breeze now.

Platforn  is set for those who want to take off! - take their writing to a newer level, without distraction of knowing who is doing what on xomba (like in the previous version. Nothing wrong with that though)

I have yet to navigate all the pages / sections and yet I can see so much improvement.

Yes, there are few niggling bugs here and there. Those are getting ironed out & fixed  too.

Well done Nick & Jeremy. You both deserve a round of applause and a well earned break!

Cheers!

Ongoing Issues

Just a reminder..I'm looking forward to getting back on track and posting regularly again.

1. Not able to embed video

2. Images are still missing from many of my posts (the bb code is there, but no images/links)

3. No way to enter html code...I understand the issue about letting anyone add code, but maybe established users could have an upgraded editor to include html editing? (That's on my wish list) :-)
