New Store Design!


It’s been a year in the making, but the new Fangamer Store is live! In addition to a pretty new face, the new store brings a slew of new features, including:

  • High-res product photos and descriptions
  • Automatic sellout signups! As soon as a product sells out, you can sign up.
  • Cart page lets you calculate shipping before checking out
  • New Twitter/Facebook buttons for easy friend-spamming
Enjoy it in the warm, glowing, warming glow of your computing device at http://fangamer.net

Screenshots!

As you can see, we have the forum spy on the right, but also latest posts below the forum as well. You can expand or collapse any forum or category as you wish. You can’t see it here, but the subscriptions show updates to your favorite posts in the same manner as well!

While I’m not as wordy as Reid, I’d like to start about some fancy features we’re implementing, and Reid’d like to show you a couple of new layout images. More after the jump!

Big Wheel Keeps on Turnin

Long time since the last update, but there’s been lots going on in the meantime. Lawyer-Time Incorporation Station is rolling along, I’m getting ready to bring on some investors, Ryan has begun full-time work, and I’m deleting files indiscriminately to make room for the massive Photoshop files I’m working on for the forum. But before that, a long-awaited banner update! Here are three cool ones, but hit the Banner Contest page for more:
