New Expired Guide Filters Added!

[quote=Matt]We've just launched some major updates to the "freshness" features that were added recently. Previously we had three levels of guide freshness: Ideal, Fresh and Stale. There is now a fourth level, "Expired". When a guide reaches the Expired level, it will now be filtered out of various places on the site automatically, and a message will appear at the top of the build when it is being viewed, informing users that the build has become outdated. The levels have also been adjusted as follows: [list] [*] [b]Ideal[/b]: Guides updated within 2 patches. [*] [b]Fresh[/b]: Guides updated within 4 patches. [*] [b]Stale[/b]: Guides updated within 6 patches. [*] [b]Expired[/b]: Guides that have not been updated within 6 patches. [/list] The following sections of the site have now been updated to make use of this system: [list] [*] [b]Browse Guides[/b]: The patch filter has been replaced with a "freshness" filter, and it defaults to "stale". [*] [b]View Champion[/b]: Both view champion pages (the ones linked from the database as well as the ones linked in the footer) now display freshness indicators and have expired guides filtered by default. There is a link provided to allow you to toggle expired guides on or off. [*] [b]View Guide[/b]: A freshness indicator has been added to the top of the page. If the guide becomes expired, a warning will appear at the top of the guide directing users to the browse page to find more recently updated guides. Additionally, the similar builds box in the sidebar no longer shows expired guides. [*] [b]Homepage and Top Lists[/b]: The homepage guide boxes and the toplists linked from there and from the sidebar have been updated to exclude expired guides. The monthly toplist will of course still show expired guides. [/list] The 2/4/6 patch rule is considered a trial, we will likely update these cutoffs in the future. We are also open to feedback on any aspect of these changes, let us know what you think! Edit: Note that some sections of the site might take a few hours to update before these new features become active, due to caching.[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]Awesome changes, and a much nicer system than auto-archiving old guides. Loving these changes! I'm sure everyone else will benefit from them too. Well done, keep up the good work, guys ^^[/quote]

[quote=xLiqur]I find it amazing how 2 guys run such an amazing, up to date site. Where as other sites, that have multiple people working on it fail to keep it fresh and up to date. You guys are truly saints!! Keep up the amazing work![/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]^what they said Matt es Flash es #1[/quote]

[quote=gabpin]It is me or since this add the site is a little more laggy =s !?!?[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]Very cool. This should deter the inflation of outdated guides, if not halt them completely.[/quote]

[quote=AFKwithyoursister]Good changes as always.[/quote]

[quote=Sinjustice]Great, GREAT idea. :D Glad to see it implemented so well![/quote]

[quote=Jio Derako]would be awesome if the levels could take into account if a patch affected a champ or not; while a guide will still be outdated if it was last updated five or six patches ago, if it's a guide for, say, Twitch, it'll probably still be relevant (he hasn't been updated for quite a few patches, if I recall correctly). Of course, this is a good deal more complex, and only gets more complicated with a team build, but would be particularly useful. The current setup looks great, though! God knows one of the issues I've always had when looking for a build on here was half the top-rated builds being terribly old ones (you read halfway through the guide, then see a mention of Zhongya's Ring and have to figure out how much - if any - of the guide is still correct).[/quote]
