Welcome to iFanboy 3.0!
227 Posted on Feb 12, 2008 in articles by Conor Kilpatrick |Welcome to iFanboy 3.0!
It’s the new iFanboy.com!
Veteran readers know that this was a long time coming. It’s been built, torn apart, redesigned and rebuilt again and now, finally, here we are. Quite frankly, we couldn’t be more excited about the next chapter in the world of iFanboy!
The first thing you’ll notice is the new design. The old girl needed a new coat of paint badly, and while we loved the iFanboy.com of the past, we all agreed it was definitely time for an upgrade. Hopefully things will be a little easier to find, a bit better organized, and look more like a website from this decade. One significant difference is that you’ll have an account with a username and password (and an avatar!) that you will need to use the new features.
You can have your own pull list on the site, as well as the ability to rate and review your books each week! Just go to the list of this week’s comics and start clicking. You can even print out your pull list and bring it with you to the store! After you’ve read your books, you can rate them and see how others rated them as well. Just head over to the “Your Comics" section to write a review of any of the books on your pull list! This site isn’t just about Ron, Conor, and Josh’s opinions, it’s about everyone being heard.
You love the Pick of the Week, right? Now there’s also the Book of the Month! At the beginning of every month, we’ll pick one trade paperback, graphic novel, hardcover, collection, anthology, Absolute or Omnibus as our Book of the Month. Look for a written review, and a discussion segment on the podcast for each selection. First up: Godland Celestial Edition Volume One, by Joe Casey and Tom Scioli.
But wait, that’s not all! Up until now, we’ve been doing all the writing around here and we just couldn’t keep up. So we decided to bring in some ringers. Perhaps you’ve heard of them.
Every other Wednesday iFanboy brings you “Concentric Circles"from Jonathan Hickman, the writer and artist of The Nightly News and Pax Romana, and one of the most talented new names in comics.
Then, every Thursday join us for “200 Words with Paul Dini" in which the Emmy and Eisner Award winning writer of Batman: The Animated Series, Detective Comics, and Countdown muses on whatever strikes his particular fancy that week – sometimes comic book related, often not. There are no rules, save that he must use 200 words – no more, no less.
Finally, there are some additions to the iFanboy team. You know him, you love him: Gordon the Intern has been promoted! Well no, but at least he wasn’t fired. But he will be contributing to the site on a regular basis. We also welcome Dave Wiese, whose technical wizardry helped make the site what it is. So please welcome them with open arms.
As if that’s not enough, iFanboy has even more surprises in the coming months, so stay tuned! 2008 is going to be a really great year for iFanboy, and you’re not going to want to miss it.
We want to thank all of you who made this community what it is, and we’re going to keep working at making it the best place for comic book fans on the web.
And last but not least we’d like to thank all those who made this new website possible, including Allie Delgado, Chris Eliopoulos, Lindsay Flanagan, Dave Kersting, and Jonathan Sawitsky.
It’s a new day for iFanboy and a new design. There will be some bumps that will need to be smoothed out, and there will be a few bugs to be fixed – that’s par for the course for any new website. It was five years on the old design so it’s going to take a little bit of time to reformat all the old content to the new design, but it’s all still there, we didn’t lose anything, so please bare with us. If you find anything that needs our attention, or have an idea of something you want to see, or any thoughts in general send ‘em along to contact@ifanboy.com.

Well done ifanboy, *starts a slow clap*

Where do you want us to send the bugs we find?
Posted by LukeB on 02/12/08 at 04:15 AM
Not 100% sure where to post bugs, but I thought you'd want to know it's not letting me upload an avatar.

I love the pull list!!!! Great idea.

Excellent work, gents. Looking forward to all the new goodness. Thanks!
Posted by KahunaBlair on 02/12/08 at 04:28 AM
Such a great redesign. The pull list feature is sweet. But I need a weekly bonus question.
Where am I to get such deep philosophical insight as to whether I would help a loved one bury a body- no questione asked- if not at iFanboy?
Where, indeed.
Posted by Labor on 02/12/08 at 04:36 AM
Gah I can't believe after all the anticipation that's been building in my head the last week was actually totally paid off.
Posted by leland222 on 02/12/08 at 04:40 AM
;) nothing wrong with a good payoff every now and then
Posted by LukeB on 02/12/08 at 04:41 AM
Interesting, my last comment had the last few lines cut off, I did a few 'enters' and it didn't get posted

I don't know if i want to have kids after reading the Terms of use i agreed to.
Posted by English on 02/12/08 at 04:45 AM
Anyway, I'm guessing the 'pull' system is like the 'digg' system, we 'pull' the comics we really want or are going to get in order to show their overall popularity, kind of like a rating system without the actual rankings, then we can give a review if we want

Looks good, but damn the effort! Another password to remember!
The formality makes me feel like I should have something important to say, instead of pissing around.
Year One is a giant montage.
wow...just wow.

Were you guys really up until 4:00?? I went to bed earlier than that, and I have a newborn. But then, I guess, so do you.
To be honest, I'm a little overwhelmed, but all the new features look great. I can't wait to take a crack at this pull list.

My last post was supposed to be a quote of gene's post along with a question about what he meant, but only the quote got posted. :(

Is that why my rotary phone's not working?

I love that you can print the pull list. Now I can give that to the wife and she won't skip books any more when its her turn to go to the comic store.

@DickieThickWhistle - We're aware there are some bugs with the comments - we're sorry for the issue and ask that you be patient while we work the bug out
If anyone has a problem with comments, please email us at contact AT ifanboy DOT com - subject line COMMENTS - and let us know what happened - the more specific the better - thanks
Posted by ron on 02/12/08 at 01:07 PM
EVERYONE - we think we found the bug, but before we can get it fixed, here's how you can avoid getting your comments cut off:
DON'T HIT ENTER/RETURN Twice - if you have 2 line breaks - it cuts off everything after the second line break (as LukeB mentioned) - you can hit Enter/Return once - that seems ot be ok, but twice causes the bug - we'll advise when its fixed

Send the Bugs to contact@ifanboy.com otherwise they'll get lost in the comments :)
Posted by LukeB on 02/12/08 at 01:32 PM
The new site design manages to be easy to use, professional looking and still friendly. The features you thought to include, especially the pull list, show that you're thinking of the fans. Will there be more onscreen chats with you guys? That was a fun thing to stumble on.
Posted by Tad on 02/12/08 at 01:33 PM
We'll definitely be looking to do that again in the future.
Posted by josh on 02/12/08 at 01:47 PM
Great job. Now to figure out this avatar.

I absolutely love the pull list printing feature. I used to scribble out a list by hand from ifanboy every week, but no more!

Congrats - love the new look, and the pull list feature is super useful!

The avatar issue may be related to some caching on our side - for the non technical - if you load an avatar, try logging out, closing your browser and logging back in - if that fails, hold down shift and press refresh to see if it comes through.
Posted by ron on 02/12/08 at 03:03 PM
@SkinnyJ - try loading the avatar from a different browser. I did mine in Firefox because I hate IE.

Damn you all for making this site so cool. It's bad enough I spend so much time on the internet as it is, and now this site will prolly add another... four hours a day. So many new features I don't even know where to start! It's freakin' sw33t guys... It's freakin sw33t.

Posted by Marbles on 02/12/08 at 04:10 PM
This definitely beats anything I had in mind. A Digg-esque pull list is gonig to be a ton of fun. One more reasonn for me to head to the shop more. For now I'm just pulling everything I want to read, or am reading in trade.

When I uploaded the avatar using my Mac (Safari), it worked perfectly. So it may be an Internet Explorer issue on PCs.

Posted by Eyun on 02/12/08 at 06:17 PM
HOLY CRAP, I finally got it to work. I was trying to use a pic I had downloaded but that didn't work in IE or even after I downloaded Safari. the only way it works id if you use a pic's target on the internet.

Posted by SkinnyJ on 02/12/08 at 07:58 PM
Excellent Job Gentlemen ...excellent!

Dude, the new pull list option is awesome! Well worth the wait, and I'm very glad it WASN'T Galactus after all.
Posted by Animalvader1 on 02/12/08 at 09:32 PM
hasd anyone figured out to print my personal pull list or do I need to print out the whole thing?
Posted by SkinnyJ on 02/12/08 at 09:48 PM
@SkinnyJ - under the iFanboy logo, there is a link to "Your Comics" - click that - and then that will show you the comics you pulled this week - then on the upper right (above the ad), there is a link to Print Your Pulllist - that should open a pop up with your pull list and trigger the print option and then you can print it out! good luck and let us know if you have any problems
Posted by ron on 02/12/08 at 10:07 PM
oh, ok. well that's not working for me, I'll check if it works on safari. appreciate it.
Posted by SkinnyJ on 02/12/08 at 10:25 PM
yea, it's saying
Posted by SkinnyJ on 02/12/08 at 10:30 PM
unable to select comics
Posted by SkinnyJ on 02/12/08 at 10:32 PM
looks like you don't have any comics selected - go to ifanboy.com/comics - and if you see a comic you like, click the PULL button - that will add it to your personal comics list and the button will change to PULLED - then check YOUR COMICS - you should see them there
Posted by ron on 02/12/08 at 10:33 PM
ShiNY!
Posted by CleophusWayne on 02/12/08 at 10:34 PM
yea, I mean i did all that.
Posted by SkinnyJ on 02/12/08 at 10:36 PM
i've got like 12 books with pulled next to them.
Posted by SkinnyJ on 02/12/08 at 10:38 PM
Can it really be fixed?!?! K... just a few nitpicks, the fonts are too small and the I cannot stay logged in, even if I check "Remember Me." Site looks damned good... please bring back the video chat for when you record the Podcasts.
Posted by JD on 02/12/08 at 10:39 PM
Love the update, the site is awsome. I can't wait to see what else you have up your sleves.
Posted by SPB on 02/12/08 at 10:40 PM
but when I click on the your comics link it's not picking them up
Posted by SkinnyJ on 02/12/08 at 10:40 PM
Is it just me, or does the store lack a link to buy an Intern shirt?
Posted by JFernandes on 02/12/08 at 10:41 PM
@SkinnyJ - ok - hang in there - we're going to investigate to see what's up - email us at contact AT ifanboy DOT com - subject "SkinnyJ comics" and we'll follow up with you over email
@JFernandes - OMG you'e right! we'll get that back in there ASAP
@JD - We're working on Remember Me, so bare with us - and maybe we'll do more live video and chat soon - stay tuned!
Posted by ron on 02/12/08 at 10:46 PM
Looking Good. Love the look looking forward to the new features.
Posted by astyak on 02/12/08 at 11:49 PM
This is but another part of the Skrulls grand design.
Posted by PymSlap on 02/12/08 at 11:58 PM
Great job guys! I love the pull list feature. I'm loving the new look. :)
Posted by acbg on 02/13/08 at 12:06 AM
I've lived with it for a day now, and it's great, but there is so much stuff going on on the home page I can barely wrap my head around it. This may take some adjustment.
Posted by Jimski on 02/13/08 at 12:17 AM
Love the new design. Great job. The pull lists are very cool im very excited about these new features. =)
Posted by Blindrift on 02/13/08 at 12:28 AM
It's Wednesday in EST and what does that mean? Well it means that if you check out your pulled comics you will see that a star rating system has appeared next to each comic book. You can now give each book you pull an overall star rating after you've read them! This is a different rating than the story/art rating in the review section - it's an overall rating.
Enjoy! I can't wait to see what the iFanbase thinks of their books.
Posted by conor on 02/13/08 at 12:46 AM
This is really cool, not that it wasn't awesome to begin with. I love it,huge improvement. Can't wait to use the new rating system!
Posted by chelsea on 02/13/08 at 01:22 AM
Awesome! All the stuff I hoped for in the What's coming forum came true..... the serious guesses that is, can't wait to read my books so I can rate/review them.... also Paul Dini and Jonathan Hickman Articles every week! THAT'S FREAKIN AMAZING! Thanks guys!
Posted by LukeB on 02/13/08 at 01:26 AM
@LukeB - You freaked us out with your prediction. It was quite funny. "We've got a leak!"
Also, Hickman is every other week; Dini is every week.
Posted by conor on 02/13/08 at 01:32 AM
@conor - lol, Great minds think alike eh ;)
Posted by LukeB on 02/13/08 at 01:44 AM
I do second iSteve in already missing the old logo. Any chance you guys can fit it in somewhere on the site?
Posted by Andrew on 02/13/08 at 10:17 AM
The three of us had been staring at that logo for about 8 years, so we were feeling need for a full change. Our nod to the old site is still sitting right there at the bottom left of every page.
But we appreciate the nostalgia. I hope the new stuff makes up for the slight loss.
Posted by josh on 02/13/08 at 10:24 AM
Fair enough. We'll just have to come up reasons for Conor to post on the forums even more.
Posted by Andrew on 02/13/08 at 10:46 AM
Yeyyyy!!! Nobody stole my username...
This is great Guys, of course old Ifanboy will be missed, and I expect to the picture of the three kirby guys podcasting somewhere on Itunes or whatever, but this is such a great step for the Ifanboy project.
My sincerest congratulations
Posted by Simon on 02/13/08 at 11:28 AM
Um, I still can't get an avatar to load. I tried one saved on my computer and another that I saved to my computer from the internet (and all I got was a strange grey box). The file extension names are correct. I'm not very tech savvy, so there could be something I'm doing wrong. Just checking in to see if anyone else is still having issues getting a picture loaded.
Posted by TheGreatAlex on 02/13/08 at 12:30 PM
I had to DL safari from apples website then, find the picture I wanted, then right clicked on it, went to properties, copied the adress to the pic then pasted it into the website, hope this helps
Posted by SkinnyJ on 02/13/08 at 12:47 PM
OMG I love the new site also I made my profile and I think this is going to ROCK.. I love how there is a book of the month. I LOOOOOOOOVE the new features and the pull list makes my life so easy. I can't wait to read Paul Dini's 200 words blog. and I can't wait to see the rest of the new ifanboy.
Posted by 52878org on 02/13/08 at 12:54 PM
Maybe, the grey box can be your thing?
Posted by josh on 02/13/08 at 01:22 PM
When the Great Grey Box speaks, we listen. @_@
Posted by HBD on 02/13/08 at 02:03 PM
The new site is BEE-U-TEE-FUL! Well done.
Posted by Dom on 02/13/08 at 02:39 PM
Well, it is a nice shade of grey (maybe I should go buy myself a grey guitar and play. *musical flourish* Mr. Jones and me...oh ... sorry, got a little sidetracked). Forgot to mention that the site is gorgeous! I really really love how you have the podcast and videocast posted on the front page. Everything is so neat and tidy and wonderfully, well, graphic!
Posted by TheGreatAlex on 02/13/08 at 03:31 PM
When dones Gorndon get to do something?
Posted by superfriend82 on 02/13/08 at 04:03 PM
Well my original comment got cutoff after one sentence somehow...but the site is great! Love the pull comics system and the ability to comment on individual issues, plus review them later.
Next step in the site evolution should be to have a comic collection ...collector. Something like Comicdb...but maybe simplier and more of a focus on checking out others collection rather than completely documenting yours. Not sure how that would work, but the new site was a huge step, so maybe the next huge step could include this.
Keep up the great work on this and the 'cast
Just dropped by to say again how wonderful this new site is... Great Job.
I can't wait for Ifanboy 4.0...No, I'm Kidding.
Posted by Simon on 02/13/08 at 06:20 PM
Wow. I kind of forgot something was coming and I was jarred awake after I clicked through to the site. It looks good so far. I can't wait for more.
Posted by patio on 02/13/08 at 06:43 PM
After having a day or two now to work with the site, I gotta say nice work. The pull lists are awesome and 5 star rating system is a very nice touch. My only complaint is that the comment system doesn't work on my iPhone, other than that it's pretty fookin' cool.
Posted by mistersizzle on 02/14/08 at 01:46 AM
I've found a work around for the comments problem on the iPhone. If you tap the comment box before the page fully loads you can launch the keyboard and type till your hearts content.
Posted by mistersizzle on 02/14/08 at 08:43 AM
congratulations for the new baby
wonderful job
thanks
cheers from france
keep on
Posted by preacher95 on 02/14/08 at 01:19 PM
Wow, this was a change. I like the review writing feature. I too am having issues with the avatar loading, but I'm on shitty work PCs so I'll retry this at home on my Powerbook later.
But congrats on the site.
Posted by Jazzlawyer on 02/14/08 at 06:12 PM
Well done, guys. I really like the new look and am looking forward to the new features. good show!
Posted by Cotton on 02/14/08 at 07:57 PM
good job boys
Posted by edward on 02/14/08 at 10:49 PM
After wasting a day on the site the only negative I can find (other than mentioned avatar uploading issue which hopefully will be fixed by using a better computer) is that it would be nice if you could see if someone commented on a review. I mean I wrote a few today, but the only way I can figure out to check is to actually go read the review itself.
I'm sure it's one of those things that takes more work than it's worth, but it's just something I've noticed.
Once again, great revamp.
Posted by Jazzlawyer on 02/14/08 at 11:54 PM
@Jazzlawyer - that's a good idea, i'll see what I can do
Posted by dave on 02/15/08 at 08:42 AM
Love the redesign and all the new content. I am eagerly awaiting the chance to read my books so I can review them on the site! Can't wait to hear what everyone else thinks of their books too.
Posted by Orionthx on 02/15/08 at 10:36 AM
Yay innernets! Site looks fab!
Posted by OddsBodkins on 02/15/08 at 09:18 PM
Awesome job on the site, guys! I've been lurking for a year & the site makeover inspired me to finally start posting. Looking forward to whatver else you have up your sleeves!
Posted by Josue on 02/16/08 at 01:32 AM
AWESOME!! Congratulations on the update. Hopefully you'll see a huge jump in user participation. You've made it a lot easier and more fun to interact. Saw-WEET!!
Posted by Dez on 02/16/08 at 05:00 PM
Damn you iFanboy, not since my very first porn site have I spent so much time in one place on the internets. I can't get over how bad ass the site is.
Posted by mistersizzle on 02/17/08 at 08:01 PM
You've won this time iFanboy!! *shakes his fist mightily*
