    Posted: 17 July 2014 at 9:34pm

So I've updated LA to release a bunch of new features, some highly requested others not so much.


LA Notepad
A highly requested feature now live. Notepad will allow you to keep notes or work on verses for battles and open mics. It supports the forum BBCodes and features a preview page, so verses can be copy and pasted straight into your post with no fuss.
Warning: The Notepad will feature a timeout limit so old and unused Notepads will be deleted after a certain period from the last time it was edited. This period has not been decided yet but will most likely fall between 3-6 months.


Social Media
You can now link your social media accounts with Lyrical Assault, allowing for quick logging in and sharing your LA activity. You have the option of proudly displaying it on your profile or hidden from view, as well as choosing whether you wish to share activity on this social networks. Currently the only two social networks supported are Twitter and SoundCloud, with more coming soon. You can connect profiles from your Account Settings by clicking your Username in the top right corner.

Right now, the sharing of activity and displaying on profiles has not been implimented but will be very soon. If SoundCloud is displayed on your profile it will in the future show a list of your recent songs.


LA Radio
It has returned, you can now listen to LA Radio again by clicking the link in the navigation bar. It will showcase the best songs from Audio Mic. More channels are planned for the future. If you want your song featured then get in touch with SwordedStylez.


Battle Stats
You can now change which battle type is displayed on your mini-profile next to your posts. You can choose between Auto, Text and Audio. Auto will pick the best stats to display, where as the other two options force it to display the respective stats.


Hall of Fame
Belts and Titles will also display under your username of forum posts. Improvements to this are planned for the future.


Active Users
I've redesigned the active users page to offer a clearer picture. It splits members and guests (+ Robots) into two lists, as well as doing away with the multi-column approach. Feedback on this would be very welcome!


Chatroom
Since there contuinng problems with the Chatroom I have decided to offer the option of TinyChat and Dialagoo (the last one used). If you are using the "Im in the chatroom" thread then state which of the two chatrooms you are in for others.


And More
There are probably more features and fixes around the site I've forgotten about. Let me know if you spot any! There are a lot more plans in the work to look forward too, more on those soon.


If you spot any problems or shits plain broke, then hit up the Suggestions, Comments & Problems forum with a descriptive title and an attempt at a full explanation of the problem and I'll fix it ASAP.

You've been putting in some mad work. All of these improvements are awesome. 
The active user lists looks the same for me, however. 

Also, idk if it's new but I just noticed all the social media pages that are linked at the bottom.

The old page under /forum/ is still there so you'll have to click the link from the nav bar to get to the new /members/ page.

I wanted to get some feedback before I completely killed the old page. Once I know the new ones good I'll add a redirect to kill the old one.


There was always Social links in the footer, but yeah I've added more to the list.

Really dope new features. Only thing I'd request is a shuffle function for LA radio, making it able to be reandomized will make it even cooler haha, great work man.

No, mods cannot read your Notepad, and to be honest I doubt I would either.

Great job Scotty and mods for cleaning up the joint. New features look sick. La radio is huge I think the audio section will pick up more, hopefully. Keep it up
