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).

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

Just a small thing I just noticed (and no, I haven't just been to the toilet). After scrolling down a bit, and clicking to read an older article, when going back in the browser, you start at the top of the page again.

Any way to go back to the place you got to in the scroll?

Update: Timan has moved the Like This button under the post, it makes much more sense to have it there, and might get used more..

You might have to do a force refresh (ctrl+f5) to see the updated posts.

To be honest when I noticed the move I was very confused. I think it made more sense where it was (top right corner of every post like a "close" button). But I'll give it some use and see how things go.

I agree. It looks a little out of place down there. It seemed a better fit in the top right. Then again it might seem odd because i'm used to the old placement.

And I was thinking that this was a bug with the layout.

At least the button is now a lot more visible, I agree that it is a bit out of place

    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote

      It could EASILY be 70 for the base game BUT + lots of FOMO to make it up to 100-120, like a few days Early Access, online money, pre-order bonus cars, weapons, missions, clothing, avatars or profile stuff, etc... And still WAY TOO MANY people would buy those and make Rockstar insane money.

    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      By thartist · Posted

      WTF! Nah, not this one. If you were back then using computers in the 90s or you had a clue, you'd know this was huge and was seen and overused absolutely everywhere and you'd take this article as no more than a retrospective story. That's all it is.

      these "editors" get paid by the amount of articles and not the quality of content; hence why we get this random stuff from the same "editor" time and time again.
