Aaaaaand… We’re Back!
January 30th, 2007 by Matt
Well, that took longer than expected! We have now moved to a new server, new domain registrar, and released a brand new version of Bouldr. We hope you like it!
The Highlights
New Interface
We have completely revamped the look and feel of Bouldr. Our previous interface had become too cluttered and divergent after so many changes, so we have cleared out a lot of the mess.
Messaging
At last! Now you can talk to each other in private with our new messaging system. We have added a ’send message’ link to everyone’s profile so that you can now talk without giving your email address away. Couple this with our explorer, and you can begin finding climbing partners nearby!
Driving Directions
More of a nice touch than a massive feature, this one. Basically, if you go to a location in the explorer (Burbage or Stanage, for example), and then click on the little car icon in the top-right corner, you will be taken to Google Map’s directions page, from which you can enter your location, and get directions to the crag. Nice.
Speed
Our shiny new RailsMachine has been a great asset to Bouldr - our image uploading system works a lot better now, and the overall speed of the site has improved.
