Updates

We have removed the jQuery Page Loader, as it was glitchy and did not properly signify when the page was done loading. Plus it did not degrade properly when the client has JavaScript disable...

We have gotten rid of a lot of irrelevant data on the forum topics. They are now more streamlined, and much faster at loading. We may be redesigning the actual layout soon, so keep checking...

We have totally redesigned the content display pages. The pages now load a lot faster, and have a much cleaner, much fresher look, as well as being much more practical in terms of usibility....

We had to refresh (flush) all points from ColdCast. Anyone who had less than 100 point will be reset, all those above were manually reinstated by the administrator.

We have removed the polling system from ColdCast. This is because it created more server load than necessary, and had very little use to the community.

We have removed the commenting facility from Games. This is because comments are designed to give feedback and host small discussions, both of which have little use for games which will neve...

We have discontinued the newsletter system. This is because nobody opted for it since it was built, and it is obvious that it has no use. We will find other ways to keep the community update...

We have removed the "Credits" banking system from ColdCast. It is possible that we will be rebuilding this feature, but right now, we simply have no use for it.

We have removed "Likes" from ColdCast. This is because we felt it pointless to have two methods of rating on the same content, and that by doing so, it would cause more server-strain than ne...

We have removed the "Public Avatars" system, so users can no longer create and use public avatars. This is because the system was too unstable to be kept. We may at some point rebuild this f...

We have removed the "Similar Content" widget from content displays. This is because they used more server resources than what can be justified. Plus they took a while to load.

We have implemented a simple "Page Loading Status" display which will tell you when the page is loading content and when the page has finished loading.

We have closed the Information Centre in favour of a cleaner, faster FAQ Board. The FAQ Board (frequently asked questions) will play host to quick-answers for pretty much anything on ColdCas...

I have just released a new avatar system. Instead of uploading your profile image to your account, you can now upload it to the photo gallery, and choose whether or not to use it as your ava...

We have launched a quick-access menu at the top-right of the screen. Hover over your username, and you will see a small list of quick-links to useful areas of ColdCast.

We have removed the Feeds Tab from user profiles. This is because nobody used them, and they cause an unreasonable amount of lag on pageload. Any feeds you had hooked up will now be deleted...

You can now quickly see similar content to the page you're viewing. If you want to play, watch or view content with the same category/tags as what you're looking at, simply scroll down below...

We have just released a powerful new content admin facility for users. You now have a more comprehensive content overview with inline tools to help you keep track of your content in much fas...

We have finally launched our promised Credits System. Users are awarded credits for completing tasks set by ColdCast staff, and for performing good deeds around the site. This is a very earl...

An activity feed is now available which shows the entire activity feed of ColdCast. This service is still very young, and will be updated over the next few weeks. It currently allows users t...

ColdCast has always played host to articles created exclusively by DarkLight (the owner) yet you have never been able to browse the entire list. Well now you can, with the new article-listin...

For the time being, the External Links page has been taken down. This is due to the fact that it was designed to help the growth of our network's promotion, yet despite this, we were experie...

A major update. We now boast our own blogging system. Unlike traditional blogs, which are limited to journal-style usage, the ColdCast Blogging System allows you to submit literally any rich...

We have finally implemented Profile Views. You can now see how many visits a user has had from other members under their statistics panel to the left of their profile pages.

You can now subscribe to the users of ColdCast. The idea behind this is so that we can begin to work on a "tracking" system, the function of which is to allow users to see the latest content...

Profiles now have an updated activity log. New features were not the objective of this update, as we were focussing on accuracy. The activity is now more intelligent in terms of what logs ar...

You can now see who liked/favourited a photo, video or game by simply clicking on the stat-number under Information. We hope to display data in a nice dialog in the very near future.

Forum Signatures are now displayed not only under replies, but also under the topic itself. As the signatures become more mature, they will start being used in more and more services around...

Your referral count is now displayed under "Statistics" on your profile. It counts how many of your invitations have been accepted and outputs the number.

Users are now able to invite their friends to ColdCast thanks to our newest addition. The Invitation Service lets you quickly input your friend's email address and, if desired, write an elab...
