So a few of you had some questions regarding the new Daily Click - so I've tried to answer them as best as I can!
Will the size of one page be smaller than 2 megabyte this time? - Blue66
Pages should load much quicker just because of the switch to PHP (hopefully!). We can't guarantee what the final "file-size" will be, but loading times should improve on all devices.
How will it make TDC better? - aphant
Quicker loading times and a more enjoyable experience - hopefully! The current site has become a bit sluggish and the user interface isn't always the best - the new site gives us a chance to improve this and make navigating the site more enjoyable.
But are you porting any of the old content over? - Duncan
All content will be carried over. We're able to grab the data from the current database and import it into a MySQL database - so that's not a problem. Some data may or may not be used - but important content like comments, downloads, forum posts etc. will all be available on the new website.
Its taken this long to get to 0 and all you can do is announce it? - Adam
It's been a fairly big job, and one that Clubby and myself have had to juggle with our own full time jobs! So it hasn't been a quick development process - we also don't want to rush anything so that we can try and get it absolutely perfect!
When can we expect to see the site go live? - Oddball Hagar
We can't be too sure, but we expect some time this year. Hopefully before September, but worst case scenario would be late 2011.
Can I also keep my fake accounts? - Hayo
Of course!
Could it be possible to keep the old layout? - MasterM
To carry over the current layout exactly may not be possible. It may be possible to develop a skin which could fill the whole screen like the current layout does. The new site will support skins if you don't like the colours of the default skin - however none of the current skins can be directly carried over.
