Updates, improvements and fixes after site migration (#5)

New features

  • My Account page now lists your active airlines in each game world.

  • User Profile pages now list the active airlines of this user.

Updates

  • "Game Selection" menu button moved from first to last in the main navigation when inside a game world.

  • Improved styling of the left-hand Search/Filters menu on narrow desktop displays.

Fixes

  • iOS / iPadOS devices on Safari had issues with the pages, causing a "Problem Repeatedly Occurred" error. This was caused by the old UI's "tabs" navigation system and their page history module.

  • The search filters were not retained in the search menu when moving back/forward between pages.

  • Filters menu search button was not visible on all mobile devices.

Updates, improvements and fixes after site migration (#4)

New features

    If the menu has sub-navigation (such as the Game Area button in the picture), you can click either the arrow on right-hand corner, or the link title (e.g. "Game Area") itself to open/close the submenu.

    This helps navigating the game with mobile phone and one hand more easily.
  • On mobile devices clicking the airline status bar's globe/airplane/money icon on the left-hand size of the status bar will now also open the status bar sub-menu, as well as the arrow icon on the right-hand side, also improving the mobile usability,

  • On mobile devices improved the sub-tabs navigation on new pages, e.g. on Statistics or Settings page. Clicking the entire tab selector button will now open the selection of sub-tabs (compared to only clicking the arrow on the right-hand side).
