December 5th 2005: Visual enhancements and other improvements
We worked a lot in the last days. Here there are the results:
Improvements
- Great speed improvement. The site is now faster, and its performance should not degrade too much even when there are many users online at the same time.
- New Statistics pages for Vampiring,
Cartagena
and Viva il Re / King Me!.
- New Your Next Game button in Cartagena game page, showed when there are more games where it's your turn to play.
- A lot of graphic improvements in the Donate page and in several other pages.
- New color highlight effect when your mouse pointer moves over any table row. This improvement can not be seen using Explorer, so now we can definitively say that
our site is better seen using Firefox (or Opera) . Let's say this is our way to ask for a better support to the web standards to the Internet Explorer 7 development group 
Bug fixes
- Fixed a bug in Cartagena game page. The users message window was not moved to the right side of the map when it was your turn and your browser window was exactly 1024 pixels wide. Now it's ok.
- Fixed a lot of errors and warnings inside our pages HTML and CSS code. This means that your browser will be much more happy when you play here
- Fixed a bug in the forum. Now it's possible again to filter the forum messages for Subject or Poster's name.
Other
The new Cartagena beta test ends here.
Thanks to everyone who helped us to improve our site giving us a lot of interesting advices and, please, don't stop doing it. We are always here to hear you!
Have fun!

October 25th 2005: Cartagena visual enhancements
Dear dungeoneer,
We implemented a completely new Cartagena Game page.
Among the new implementation you will see:
Choosing a move you will see 2 different previews (textual and graphical)
A lot of users informations will be immediately available on screen, or reachable with a graphical tooltip window
For each player it is now possible to know when he made his last move for that game
Graphical face down display for your opponents cards on Jamaica games
A lot of bells & whistle everywere
To avoid problems we put a link to the new interface into every old Cartagena Game page, so that you can test it but you will be able anyway to use the old interface if you should find some problem with the new one.
If there will be no problems, we will completely move to the new Cartagena Game page in a couple of days
You can see a little sample here, but the best improvements can be seen only playing, so start a new Cartagena game now.
We hope you enjoy this changes. As usual your comments are welcome.
Your Webmasters.
By the way: Perhaps someone noticed the site is a bit faster now? We got some more bandwidth to play with. |

October 19th 2005: Blue max visual enhancement
Dear pilots,
we completely changed the way the map in Blue Max is displayed. Now:
- Burning and smoking planes are shown directly on the map,
- Preview move does no longer hide other planes,
- Out of the map preview moves are now visible,
- Special damages are reported in the plane chart
- The HTML creation process is 10 times faster than before.
We hope you enjoy this new map,
Your Webmasters.
P.S. While you wait other players to move, don't forget to have a look at our new absolutely boombastic game: The Big Random Planes Race |
