  • Visual improvements and speed upgrades coming to the forums!

    Hi guys,

    The forums are undoubtably one of the popular parts of Playfire, and we felt they were due for a visual touch up to bring them in line the rest of the visual improvements we've been doing lately. Also, we want to do some speed tuning to make them load super fast too! :-)

    I'm pleased to say we've done this, and we'll be releasing this improvement over the next couple of days. Here's a sneak preview of what's in store:

    Look out for more exciting things soon!

  • Fun new Home Apps feature on your homepage

    Hey guys,

    Got a new little feature for you! We noticed from using the site ourselves and from your feedback that answering quiz questions about your games and rating your games were two really fun things to do.

    As such, we decided to turn these into little games by adding a progress bar so you can see how far through completing them you are! There are now located on your homepage here:

    You can minimise them by clicking the green "Home apps" button in the top right. The Rate Games is live for everyone and the Quiz app is currently being rolled out (some lucky people have it already, and everyone should have it by tomorrow).

    This is part of the redesign of the Home whcih we mentioned on the blog a little while ago. We think it's quite a fun format and will likely do it in the future for different activities. Stay tuned!

  • Everybody give a warm welcome to the new Playfire dev - Tom!

    Hey guys,

    We've got a huge 2010 planned with tons of new and exciting things for you, and we needed to grow the Playfire team to get it all done! To help us do it all, let me introduce you to Tom (Playfire username 'teh') - the newest member of the Playfire dev team!

    Tom is an awesome developer who will be working on adding more features and optimising the site and experience. Go over and write on his wall to welcome him to the team!

    We're super excited about the new stuff coming your way soon!
