[Discontinued] Ethereal FAF Client 1.0

The newspage for the old client has a handcrafted layout every week, kind of a shame to throw that out. Also I dislike the transition into the backgroundimage:

these forum topic links:

catch my eye faster then the images of the news page for instance. I think it is also questionable to put them there bc they will have to be maintained. Threads get outdated etc.

Also the online player search window does not belong there imo. Just takes up space/ attention and is redundante cause of chat feature.

I would suggest to copy the original newspage and mb add the forum window below.

  1. the embedded browser will not be implemented because it is a waste of performance.
    1.1. API give me ability to watch old news
  2. I will update links directly from /newshub in next release.
  3. Online players search is alternative. User can still connect to IRC but not sitting on #aeolus to see all players.
  4. i can highlight news images

@eternal the issue is that the news on the actual News hub is Order in a spesifc ways in priority so when we have a hero post wich need to get across to more people that it the more important news article their no way to tell this on your and their not in the same order of posing from the new-hub page. as well as the fact we work on a weekly scheduled so having lots of the old news in their is fine but should not be as front and center as the new news for that week that were trying to get people to look at.

EG mined the quick number squiggles. each news post is weighted to the most important and to the lest important on the news-hub. the way your importing it the first news item to load would be 600 weights when the 1000 weights is the more important one.

First time i got an error that disconnected me from server... And my code that was written without tests worked perfectly! Reconnected in few seconds. I got an error on first reconnect because my token was not valid. But was fixed by second authorization attempt. Also there is options to restart UI client without turning off the whole application (it will be not closed in process, special background services will work, UI client will be restarted). And an option to restart the whole application.
