We have just updated the site to now include NeverEnding story scroll. This mean pages have disappeared and instead you can keep scrolling for the recent news.

When you reach the bottom of the page, more stories are loaded.



After five scrolls, it pauses (so the footer links can be clicked) scrolling again activates it again.



Code cleanup

We've also done some backend cleanup, and removed old code that was no longer used, so it's also a bit more streamlined.

Social buttons

We also updated the social buttons across the (main) site:

Facebook Likes now allow commenting to Facebook



We removed the social links text that appeared under the articles and added this instead:


In the next update, search will be overhauled..

When searching we'll add:

• Only search titles? Yes/No
  
• Search within results
  
• Search tags only
  
• Date range search

We don't want to make it overly complicated, but we feel the above options while searching are an absolute must!

These updates also apply to NeoGamr and as per usual, you may want to force refresh your browser on Neowin or NeoGamr to see the changes (CTRL+F5).

This works really nicely on the front page.

Only little nag is more social buttons, if there wasn't enough already.

Isn't pretty! Surely you'd be better off processing the styles, at least headers etc via a templating engine? Thinking Mustache.

Ah right. I think it is because they are more prominent now, and I didn't notice them before.

Good work though!
