So the Units section update is complete, with a shiny new advanced search and ratings section! First, you need to be logged in to see the units section. No really. If you've not created an account, you'll need to do so and log in.
With that out of the way, the advanced search allows you to search on all sorts of options. One of them, the "Search by clicks" might need a little explanation. This field works best ween combined with others. Say you want to search a unit that has Super Strength on it's first click. Choose "Super Strength" from AttackSA and then select "Equal To" next to "Search by clicks" then enter a 1. It will limit the search to only the first click. If you wanted to look at the first two clicks, you could select "Less then or Equal To" and enter a 2.

Another new option is the ability to rank (out of 5) what you think of a the unit, and leave some comments. Don't abuse this, you can be kicked off the site if you do.

We also understand that some of the speed modes are incorrect and we are working to correct those.

If you have a problem (say it with me gang!) email [email protected] and we will try and help. Please remember that I (and others) will be at Origins this week, which means I may not get back to you until next week.

In the mean time, enjoy!

Draddog originally locked this thread, but I know that some of you are pretty excited about the units section being back up and want to talk about it.
(Please don’t shoot me in the foot by turning this into a complaining thread and proving that it was better off locked.)

Draddog worked through the flu, his regular 9 to 5 job, and several revisions to get this up for us as quickly as possible!


Hey, when we told you that “we are working on it” and asked for you to please be patient, we weren’t just blowing smoke!

This is the first of many cool things in the pipeline. Stay tuned…

ATTENTION!

I've started a thread in the feedback forum HERE, where you can note all of the issues with the Units section.

This will HELP DRADDOG sort through issues quicker by not having to read through a hundred e-mails pointing out the same problems.

Please post your issues there and I will remind Draddog to read that thread to find the issues.

THANK YOU!

THANK YOU!! I'm very excited to have this function back, it is one of the best things on Realms! I'm especially glad that I can now search for all the new team abilites (even including Indy), which previously we couldn't AND for figures with the 'new' Lime Green powers! EXCELLENT!

Well done again. And also thanks to Azs for unlocking this thread so that I could say so (he must've read my mind).

The units section is back and better than ever!

One thing to note (can't email draddog right now) is that it appears you can't rate and leave a comment (says you're not logged in . . . some problem with cookies for the site).

Woo-frickin'-hoo!

Thanks a bunch guys!

Between this and quite a few other small changes, you have really gotten back to what, in my opinion, made the last version of the Realms so great.

Now if only you'd pick a winner for the banner

I got to play with the search engine a bit over the weekend, and let me tell everyone that hasn't already played with it, this thing is freakin awesome! It has everything the old search had plus a lot more.

The search by click takes a little getting used to, but is a great asset. Like Draddog said, you can limit the search to the first click or so, which is a great addition. (I know that with the old engine, it was kind of a pain to weed through all the hits to see if the power I was looking for was front-loaded or not.)

You can also sort by speed type (boot, wing, dolphin, and he even added transporters!). The only down-side is that the transporters won't show up in a search for other speed types. For example, Lockjaw won't show up in a search limited to boot types.

Also, you can limit the search by damage type (ie, the starburst for normal figs, the giant fig type, and the big-fig fist). I'm not sure if those are all sorted out yet, I was helping with the speed types this weekend...

There's more cool stuff, but that's all I can think of off hand....enjoy, I know I will!

One word... FANTABULOUS!!!

And I will say... FANTABULOSO!!!

Doncha wanna, wanna Fanta?

WOW! Thank you - the new search is a MASSIVE improvement! It even seems to search faster than before.

Many thanks to those involved.

awesome..nicely done...i love the new comments feature...i guess the only thing we need now are the missing pics

It'll be great when we have myrealms back up to save teams to, as well.

Yeah, I noticed the same. Other than that little thing... good job!

Just found a somewhat big problem with the units database.. and gmail seems to be down, so i can't email draddog.... All JLA units have "none" listed as thier team-ability...
