Did I miss some change in LORE? I don't see the options to query or look at spells or PCs at the top of the page. All I see is Start here and Recent updates.
-
The query tool is at the top right. Look directly right of "Welcome to LORE, Skywatcher." It is a fill-in-the-blank box ready to go now. Very handy.
-
Yes, I probably should have posted about the recent changes to LORE's basic look, but in short, we have made some adjustments that you will hopfully find helpful. If you have any suggestions, concerns, please voice them, here or in the bugs forum.
As Gulnyr pointed out, the query function is now on every page you open for easier access. Spells and PC's and every other link (except for the "Friends" link, which has been moved to the text next to the "welcome to LORE, " tag) that used to be on the header is on the [LORE]StartHere[/LORE] page.
-
Thanks. I was confused when I didn't see it where I was used to seeing it.
-
I guess I am still missing something. I see the query now but the PCs, Spells, and other stuff is still in my blind spot. The Welcome to text looks like this for me.

You're right. The Higher Ups wanted to pare down on the header links, so, with a mystical wave of the site builder's hand, it was done.
Everything can be found through the Start Here page, or, if your style is more like mine, through Query. (Style being "how I like to do things," not anything different about LORE.)
-
Just to make it clear, the changes were instigated by a number of people, myself included, who felt that the way it was made things too hard to find for new users through sheer overload of links, and so Orth cut it down for us and added the query box.
I hope removing some of the header links doesn't make it more difficult for people used to quickly navigating to the spell page or whatever.
It took me a couple days to get used to the new layout, but I like it a lot. Especially with the query box on every page, the PC link isn't really useful for most users, and the spell list can be found pretty easily, like Stephen said.
So please try it a bit, and if you still think we cut down too much post a note in LORE suggestions and we'll re-evaluate.
-
I don't mind the changes. But I do miss the SPELLS link. I used it quite often.
-
Yeah, I can see how to find everything that I used to but the Spells link and the PCs link were nice shortcuts for me. No worries though. Thanks.
-
Make Browser Shortcuts :)
-
I think a header system like we have on the forums would've been nice, but I've voiced that before. ;)
The Query box on each page is a godsend for me, though...
And I'm (slowly) working on a set of bookmarks for LORE for Firefox.
