  • CrazyEngineers Gets A Makeover!

    Welcome to revamped CrazyEngineers. This is our biggest makeover since our launch in May 2018. As you'd guess, we've listened to your feedback and have tried to include as much we could in the new design. 

    You'll appreciate sticky sidebars, notifications with avatars, new 'Deals' app (we're working on it) and yeah - all your likes now show who liked your content! 

    The new design prepares us for super exciting things we're working on already. You'll now see faster updates in coming days.

    PS: If something looks out of place, just give your browser a refresh multiple times. If the problem stays, please do bring it to our notice.

    Super excited about the new look of the website. Designed with user-friendliness in mind. ? 

    Looking forward to hearing all that our members have to say about it.

    The design looks nice for sure! CE has come a long way! Will be waiting for new apps and features as well.

    One small change to the way members are tagged. We only relied on first names, but now we search and display full name.

    Major improvement to user suggestions is coming soon.

    Sticky sidebar is a big help. Did not see any avatars in the notifications.

    ... we had to preserve the old notifications. All new notifications should get avatar of the notification sender. ?

    Also, you could click on the count of likes to know who liked. Please do give it a try.

    #-Link-Snipped-# sir, that is strange. Every use should be able to see the count of likes right besides the like button. Clicking on the count of likes should open a pop-up like this one -

    IeCM-Screen%20Shot%202018-11-19%20at%2010.24.13%20AM.png

    The only thing that could be causing issue on your machines is the cache. Could you please do the following-

    1. If you are using Google Chrome or Safari - Selection option 'History' -> Show History / Clear History .

    2. Then clear all the history; so that fresh CSS/JS files are fetched from the server. 

    Refresh or Reload the page and you should be able to see the likes.

    PS: I think this could be an issue with other CEans who've visited CE in the last ~4-5 days. I'll tag #-Link-Snipped-# , #-Link-Snipped-#, #-Link-Snipped-# to check and let us know if the new site is loading fine for them. 

    One clear way to find that out is to check - both left and right sidebars are STICKY. Would really appreciate your support.

    I reported earlier that the side bars stick. No problem on that count. The like count is also visible. But nothing happens when I click both in Safari and in Firefox. I shall revert.

    Looks much better than previous version.

    Folder icon when clicked on Topics drop down, doesn't look good. We need dislike button as well :D

    Why don't we have option to login using e-mail address as well, like we used to have before new design was introduced ?

    Good job, CE Team.

    Abhishek, we decided to skip the login with username/password functionality in this release because it was too much to handle. Be assured, it's coming really soon (maybe in the next few days).

    This design update was necessary in order to support our upcoming features and apps. We've planned a release cycle; which means new stuff would be launched sooner than before. 

    We already have seen 10x growth in registration after the new launch and are quite excited. 

    PS: Groups are coming, soon! ?

    #-Link-Snipped-# - are you getting any error message? It'd help us troubleshoot the issue. Requesting you to mail me the details of the error or any issue. 

    While we work on bringing back email/password based login, social authentication happens on the social network. So it could be a temporary issue with the social service. 

    However, I find it quite strange that you are not seeing likes overlay.

    Advertisements are needed and allow CE to be run free of cost to all our fellow CEans. But I agree that we need a better advertising mechanism. We are experimenting with certain revenue channels. One idea was to introduce premium memberships; but that makes sense once we've expanded our overall offering. 

    Would love to hear ideas.

    #-Link-Snipped-# , on all the usual login popup comes on. On the Android and Windows, I click on the Google link and I get logged in. On the Macbook for some reason nothing happens when I do the same operation. I am sent back to the login or signup screen. No messages.

    I think it's mostly likely to be Cache. Could you please try clearing cache using these steps on Macbook -

    1. If you are using Google Chrome or Safari - Selection option 'History' -> Show History / Clear History .

    2. Then clear all the history; so that fresh CSS/JS files are fetched from the server.

    There is a new twist. Links put into posts do not seem to post as clickable ones. Is it my local problem or do others find the same difficulty?

    This happened to me three times today.

    Another interesting  thing. On my Dell Desktop on Windows 10 'the click on the count of likes to know who liked' suddenly started working without my doing anything.
