Update #41 -- Rifles and Thumbnails

I just deployed the 41st update. This may have been the biggest update, yet.- Thumbnails on home page
- Embed show thumbnails in forums via Share button
- Preview mode should now run at same speed as Edit mode
- Scatter shortcut (* key) - each marcher moves a random step. Hold Ctrl to do a "jam"-style horizontal scatter. Like the other shortcuts, this is only an aid. To create a nice-looking scatter, you still need to adjust things by hand.

Minor Fixes:

- Re-added Ctrl-Drag Select
- Safari/chrome layout glitches should be gone
- Popup confirmation when voting 1 or 10
- Judge page/back-button fix
- Message to disable popup blocker when opening Preview
- Reminder to remove timekeeper when publishing synced show
- Removed exit page warning on re-publish (Thanks EvanGregory)
- Removed superfluous Menu options in re-publish mode
- Numerous interface fixes
- Member patches only apply if you publish a show during that year
- Gave out 2nd Anniversary patches

Thanks!

Boss update. Thanks.

Thanks so Much Joe, I love the Thumbnails on the home page!

I love you

Joe, you are amazing! Just when you think this site can't get any better.. I probably won't be sleeping tonight lol

Thanks joe!

There is one thing I'm kind of bummed about, I was working on a WIP and wanted a soloist guard toss into an impact set, and it made it REALLY slow. Other than that this is the perfect update.

Amazing.

I think you forgot to mention new guard uniforms which look fantastic.

This update has just inspired about 50 shows for me. I think this may be my favorite so far. You rock, Joe.

New guard uniforms?

Aren't they shaped slightly differently than before? Maybe I just never noticed

Landry, not sure what you mean. It pads out the set to about 2 seconds to give it enough time to make the toss. Or do you mean that the whole thing is laggy?

Rob, oh yeah, I gave them more of a defined waist in the blueprint area.

Well I have a fast transition, and I guess the length of the guard toss slows down the set. I'll post me WIP in a minute to show you.

Wow... I know I have said it a lot, but this is the best update to date. You seem to always aim to please. I was just coming on here today to make a show for the new challenge, and now I'm inspired to create so much more, including syncs.

Excellent job, as always.

Oh. Em. Gee.

Best update since #30.

The guard tosses are blowing my mind!

Awesome. Joe FTW

Awesome Joe! The thumbnails add a very nice feel to the site for sure!

I love the thumbnails. The site looks very fresh

Hmm...no option to toss 9's...looks like we can't replicate BD's color guard...

The tosses and rifles are fantastic!

Im going to fail my biology test because I was up playing with the new features

Thanks Joe.

holy poop on a stick. this is incredible.

<3 <3 <3

Cant wait! ...to use it =)

I suspect an increase in shows for a little while =) This sounds amazing

One word... wow!
(Wait...that was three)

Eh. It's an ok update.

:P

Great update, Joe!

Oh, and the pink cotton balls are cute. :)

Hey, my name''s on there! :D

AWESOME update, joe!

and thanks for the better freezer :D

Hey Joe, what happened to the ripples? That Youtube video looked great. Any chance we'll see that on the next update?

Caleb English *likes* this update.

@MSeltz, I had to punt on it this time, but it should be coming soon.

LOOK GREAT!
Can't wait for a little free time to get my hands on this!

i looked at it and said a word i cant type. Joe, i seriously am amazed by the work you put into this update along with the whole site! thanks so much!

OMG! i cant believe you did this. thank you so much!

O. M. G.

I can't wait until I can combine the new tosses with ripples.

Thanks so much Joe! =)

This update is amazing! I will return to finish the "Because We Are..." series soon, As it's been since August of last year since I've written a show :( hopefully I'll finally have some free time to spend on this wonderful site. Thank you Joe for everything you do!

I just about died when I saw the main page.

Wow! After being away for some time, I just wanted to come in to see some shows, and what do my eyes behold? Awesomeness! Love the new guard stuff and everything! Joe, you've done some great work here! Truly something. :D
