Since I've been neglecting the History page of late, I've decided I should post about changes to Game Courier on this page rather than on other pages. I have recently been focusing on revamping the whole site, writing new headers for all pages on this site. The pages in the play subdomain have a different header than the pages in the main domain, but the two headers share features in common. They both have a site menu on the left, and they both have forms to login or a personal menu on the right. The site menu on the left often includes a Related Pages submenu whose contents varies from page to page.

In the play subdomain, I have been integrating the functionality of these menus with Game Courier. The buttons that used to appear at the top of Game Courier near the board have been removed, and their links have been placed in the menus. The site menu includes a Game Courier submenu with most of these links. The link to the rules and the link to the specific preset you are using have been moved to the Related Pages submenu. The URL provided for the rules is used to determine the ItemID to use for the Related Pages submenu, so that it gives you pages related to the game you're playing instead of pages related to Game Courier. This includes a submenu for games by the same inventor and a submenu for presets by the same programmer. Both of these are identified with the person's name, so that credits for the game and preset appear in the Related Pages submenu. There may be two inventor submenus when a game has a co-inventor. These menus may help direct you to other games you would like, and when there is a bug in a preset, the "Coded by" submenu identifies who you should contact about it. The "Your Games" link appears in the personal menu when you are signed in, and a "Your Games" link also appears on the page when you have just sent a move.
