Updates are underway, check out the new IMChatv3!

Written by: OG Jappleng

It's been a while since I last posted an update status and I apologize, I've been hard at work developing many new features for Jappleng all around and didn't get the time to post the status updates. Now however I can!

The new IMChatv3 was completely redone from scratch! v2 took about 3 weeks to build but mainly because after the first week I was having trouble putting time onto the site. v3 however only took 2 full days and it works wonderfully! It's not complete yet but it's significantly better than the previous version, if anything because the design doesn't burn my eyes and there aren't any memory leaks.

For a full list of features take a look at:

Onwards to Club jappleng....
I've done significant progress with club Jappleng, so much so that it's almost complete. I can make a Friday deadline for sure!

Things that are complete:

The Poll System is complete.
Quiz system is nearly done.
Link backers is complete.
Gallery is complete.
Activity history is complete.
Hierarchy permission system is complete.
Leveling system is complete.
Category / Subcategory system is complete.
Club Member system is complete.
Club Banner system will be complete today.

Things that are left to do:

Club Forums
Club Wiki
Event System
Actual Details Page
Treasury System
Unlockable System
Club creation wizard
Link backer wizard
Club Jappleng Portal and related pages

Estimated Time of Completion:

Even System, Details Page, Link backer wizard and club wiki will all be released next week but the remaining features should be available by Friday. A public release will be made if it happens.

Upon the completion of Club Jappleng, I will make various updates to J-Blogs and then move forward to other parts of Jappleng that need bugs fixed. There's a lot to do but on the first week of June, I will be done with Jappleng and will be ready to advertise throughout the world.
