The Mid July Site Update Changelog
Alright, there's been a lot of slacking when it comes to site changelogs. I don't have a great excuse, they just take a lot of time to make. Here's everything worth mentioning since the last changelog appeared on July 2.
New Features
- New Navigation!
- Completely revamped to work on mobile and desktop just as good! No more weird issues.
- More content is available on the navigation while remaining even more accessible.
- Your feedback will help shape the direction the navigation continues to go.
- Card Voting
- Mobile users can now vote on cards via card pages!
- We now display the scores for card voting.
- Card Reveal Countdowns
- Accessible on the front page and for mobile users, a first for Hearthstone community sites.
- You can view all the Uldum countdowns on a dedicated page.
- You can now click on a link in the last post column of forum threads to quickly jump to the post.
- Direct Messages
- You can now send messages to other members on the site.
- Access your inbox through the navigation menu where your name is, or click here!
- If you have an unread private message, a green icon will appear on the navigation bar beside your name.
- Developer Note: Still investigating a better way to display unread PM counts for mobile users. Stay tuned, friends.
- Deckbuilder
- Added a dust cost calculation above the card list so you know how wallet-heavy your deck is.
Changes
- Card pages will now always output decks featuring those cards, even if no decks have been recently created with them.
- Forums work better on mobile devices.
- Buttons on the site have been given COLOR. Less grey, more happy faces.
- Saviors of Uldum now has its proper expansion icon.
- Site header has been updated for Saviors of Uldum.
- Your signature, if it exists, will now appear on your edited forum posts. This was a simple display error, it was fixed if your refreshed the page, this now no longer requires a refresh.
- Moved forum threads can now figure out where they moved to and old links will properly redirect.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed multiple issues with the "hotness" of decks being incorrectly calculated for older decks.
- Supporter avatar borders now appear correctly on mobile.
- Fixed an issue preventing us from properly flagging supporter accounts for those that support the site via Twitch.
- Card count in deck on deckbuilder now works correctly for logged out users.
- Flavor Text headers will no longer display on card pages if the card doesn't have flavor text. (Usually tokens, newly revealed cards)
- "Undefined" cards in the deckbuilder will no longer be added to your deck should you click on an empty space.
Upcoming
Achievements are almost here. They're running well in the background right now but we're still finishing up the UI for them and adding more to the site. The plan is to launch achievements with over 250 of them so I hope you're ready! Ideally we can finish this before the end of this week, I'm thinking it is more likely to happen this weekend though or on Monday. We've gone through a few iterations of them internally and are quite happy with what we've achieved.
Notifications are also almost here. These will launch alongside achievements and are currently also working in the background pretty well. We will not be supporting a ton of different types of notifications to start with, but we'll be able to add them in. Currently, you cannot subscribe to threads, decks, and users, all things we want to create down the road to add to the quality of the notifications system. Your feedback once they launch to let us know what kind of notifications you would like to see will help us shape them.

Site's getting better by the day. Keep up the great work!
Notifications and over 250 achievements at once? Hoo boy, I can't wait!
Love the new desktop menu - great work!
Hamburger dropdowns are quite long though?
The pack giveaway and user link in the mobile menu seems a bit oddly positioned. Pack giveaway as a separate entry and user link on the bottom.
Other than that great features so far! And very glad the menu works on mobile now :-)
Can't wait to be able to link my collection to this site.
