New JTV on Django launch starts June 18

[Daniel]

What everyone has been waiting for is finally here! We begin rolling out the new Django version of Justin.tv on Monday, June 18, in the early afternoon (Pacific time).

You should not expect any disruptions in service, neither with the video or chat. As a whole the site will look pretty much the same, with some small changes to the home page, and a redesign of the settings pages.

Please let us know of any bugs or features not working correctly after we roll out.

We will keep you informed of new developments as they unfold.

Thank you,

Daniel

Hi Everyone!

We're really excited here at the office to be launching Django. I wanted to give you some light as to what we have changed since April.

Home Page:
We heard you. It really sucks not to have a list of the live channels you follow. We brought back a homepage that provides this list!

Highlights:
Highlights are back! You will be able to highlight your favorite broadcasters just as you can on the Rails version of Justin.tv. We also made it easier to tell for viewers and broadcasters alike as to who is highlighting content. We've also made enhancements to managing viewer highlights (if you set highlights not to automatically add).

Settings:
Various settings were restored, such as toggling the chat banned filter and blocking messages from users you do not follow

Previously On... Videos:
We brought back the past broadcasts/highlights on the channel page (if the broadcaster allows it).

Chat:
WILL WORK

New Users:
Broadcasting will work for you

Please let me know if you have any concerns left from April's launch.

At the moment, the only question I have, which is asked by most people whom I showed this thread to is, Will our monkey emiticons be back in this roll out? I've not seen them mentioned in the above posts but people seem more concerned about them that the transfer lol

Define "will work" have you finally added a proper IRC chat service or are you still building on the horrible half attempt at an IRCd you were using many months back, its the reason i stopped streaming with you as your junk chat never gave me proper access to it, so clarify have you completely redone the chat or are you just spamming out pretty updates which actually dont really matter to me in the least?

The chat server is not changing. He is referring to not having the same issues as as the first rollout.

What exactly are you looking to do on the chats? What isn't working right? Also, this is a Justin.tv update (not Twitch.tv).
