Search 4 |
The new version of the Smartass Search page introduced in this version uses an entirely new search engine.
The design of the Smartass Search page has been changed as of this version. It is more stripped down and mobile friendly, focusing on what is neccesary for you to find your guides. Filters can be made as usual, although currently with fewer options than before. More options are always being developed and will be released in future updates. |

How to perform this is described here: http://smartass.se/4572.guide

Navigation |
All links within the product will now open in the same browser tab, unless you explicitly ask to open them in a new tab or window. |
|
Alerts |
Obtrusive alerts have now been replaced by a non-obtrusive alternative. Instead of an alert box appearing, a red error bar now appears at the top of the page, no longer interrupting the user unneccesarily. |
