We've been working on this site update for a few months now and are extremely excited to finally show it to you.
The site updates are as follows:
- Full & Complete Mobile Optimization.
- We have added optimization for website viewing on different screen sizes to ensure everything displays properly and neatly. When accessing the site on a mobile phone you will now have a slide-out navigation menu that appears from the left when a button is tapped, with the main content of the site being front and center
- Navigation Menu
- The navigation menu now appears on the left of the screen. On desktop and laptop computers the navigation menu will always remain in view. When on a mobile phone there will now be a button that you have to tap to make the navigation menu appear and disappear from the left.
- News Feed
- The home page blog feed has been replaced with a news feed. Instead of only seeing blog posts, you will now see the latest added of the following things. Blog Post, Stories, and Paranormal Locations, Events.
- Ads
- Latest events will no longer appear on the right sidebar on the homepage. This has been replaced with ads. Ads that we control. You will now be able to fill out a form to advertise with us. We have also turned the area that is currently just below the main links of the site into ad space. Sidebar ads will ONLY be displayed on the homepage. Ads in the aforementioned space will appear on every page. This will contain both ads for ParanormalSocieties and ads that have been submitted to us. We've already been getting advertising requests. We figured we should probably get on that.
- Articles
- That's right! The education tab is now fully active, containing articles written by both us and a wide variety of specialists in the field, alphabetized by title in a glossary format. We have also added a link to the "Submit" link so that registered users see where you will be able to submit articles written by YOU for consideration in being in our articles library.
- Famous Case Files
- This is a feature that we thought of last year that we are just announcing now. Most know that there are hundreds of famous paranormal cases, many dating back centuries ago, and countless that have even been made into movies. Through immense research, and with a similar format to the articles feature, we're adding one by one the true story behind as many of these as we can.
- Account Settings
- Account settings take on a slightly different look. No point in saying what it will look like. You can just see it when you log in.
- Email Notifications
- Those with public accounts that have been approved can now receive email notifications when a service request is submitted requesting one that you provide in the areas that you provide it. These are not turned on automatically. You will have to go into your account and activate it.
- Account Deletion
- We'd hate to see you go, but if you so desire, you can now remove your account.
There are a few other things, but you'd probably never notice those. They're just background things....mostly security enhancements.
