I know, it's about time...
I am very happy to announce that the 2024 interface upgrades that I wanted to roll out 2 weeks ago have been completed before February 2024.
It's true, the new Index Image/Crew Card program is now available site-wide. Those 2000+ lines of code now control all of the Crew displays... and I must say... without noticeable lag in page load.
Now every time you do a Crew search (or anytime you see Index Images), you can activate Crew Card overlays that you can also drag-and-drop anywhere you want on your display. This isn't such a big deal on mobile devices, but if you have a big 'ol display like I do, this is really helpful. At first, I thought this might make my Head 2 Head (2 Head) program obsolete, but of course that one allows you to pick specific singular Crew.
If you recall, the previous system would display limited information as an overlay - now you can see a whole lot more without leaving the page. Of course, you can still go to the individual Crew pages with even more information.
I find this super f*cking handy, especially because the new overlays include the MyCrew info if you are logged in. Even on my STT home page, this makes it easier for me to compare New Crew, as opposed to the javascript scrolling thing I used before.
Yeah, I was a little late...
In my defense, many of the Crew display programs I had developed with significant chronological gaps, so each varied a bit from the last. It took some ingenuity to make a single program work with all of them. This system has been online since 2018 afterall.
A lot of effort has been put in to make sure this gets out of Beta, but I can't promise there won't be a glitch here or there. If you come across an issue, please message me and let me know.
I put a lot of time into this and I hope you like it.
