#### A New Encyclopedia

Slumbering quietly in an ever-so-slightly neglected corner of our website, there has always been a feature known to its visitors as The Encyclopedia.
And now, as a big ‘ol Glitchmas present to all of you, we've just launched a pretty comprehensive overhaul of the beast itself!
The newness includes...
A general increase in attractiveness
A smidge of spit here, a dab of polish there... mostly polish, though, because who wants to browse an encyclopedia that's covered in spit? Anyway, it did the trick.
Find-as-you-type search
Ever wanted to know more about Lem, Lemburgers, the street Tlemcen and the skill Element Handling, all at once? Now you can, just by entering the letters "l", "e" and "m" in the search box on the main encyclopedia page!
There are also find-as-you-type boxes in the other sections of the Encyclopedia, for quickly unearthing the items, achievements, skills or locations you seek!
New Skills and Achievements pages
Both Skills and Achievements are now categorized to help you make a bit more sense of the dazzling array of options.
In addition, when you're logged in the page will indicate which skills you're skilled in, or the achievements you've achieved. For the go-getters out there, you can filter the page to only show the things you haven't done yet.
Better Location listings
Who wants to read a big long boring list of street names? The main location index now lists locations by hub, with a small map of the region beside a list of its streets. Each hub has its own separate page too, with a full-size map so you can get the lay of the land.
Finally, all the location pages will show you which streets you've visited, which should make it easier to track down those elusive Completist achievements you've so tenaciously pursued.
Giants!
The mythic founders of Ur have now been brought juuust a bit closer. The pages of the Encyclopedia now hold each of their stories, a portrait in their likeness, and references to the skills that fall under their domain.
We hope that you like the new and (we think) vastly improved encyclopedia. Happy browsing!
Note: Some Greasemonkey scripts, extensions, and browser add-ons may not work and in fact might cause you trouble with the new encyclopedia pages.

- Wow! It's like the devs took a look at all the 3rd party Greasemonkey scripts and said, "Clearly our players want to have this functionality... let's bring it to them!" But who ever does that? :D
  Thank you!

- been wanting some more infos regarding the glitch cosmology : ]
  hopefully these new revelations will lead to many excited converts and devastated apostates.
  shifting allegiances and whatnot.

- The location listing is bugged for me. (See the map and line spacing)
  Bugged
  I will be even better if the teleport here button was moved beside the set as destination button and have the landmark lines sorted in ascending order. There are also some minor text spacing issues such as the player names under unlocked by. It will be helpful to have the region name included in the breadcrumb location.
  Picture with improvements
  Another possible improvement is to make the locations map an image map so when one clicks on a street in the map, they will be taken to that street's info page. That saves having to look at the list at the bottom. Also make clicking on the region go buttons link to the other region so the user does not have to click the back button as much.

  As a side issue, I can now become the Queen of Completist. I will be called, "Your Minceness", and everyone will have candy and a new hat...

- The Encyclopedia is fabulous! There seems to be a problem, though, in the Locations section with the spacing/printing of the streets lists when I view it using Safari. It is just fine with FF.
  Posted 12 months ago by GreyGoose | Permalink
- Excellent! I really like the locations - as finally an easy way to see where I've NOT been.
  Thanks Devs!
  Merry Glitchmass.

- I just had a massive GLITCHGASM. Someone get the mop. Yeah, I just said that. MOVE ON.
  Posted 12 months ago by elka | Permalink
- So beautiful! And so much more useful!
  A small bug: The Pollokoo map doesn't include Axis Denyde, but the street list does.
  Third-party extension users beware: I had the Glitch Achievement Checker active, and the new locations page crashed and gave me an error message. I deactivated the extension and everything went fine.

- OH, BTW, TS... The ONLY things we're missing now for perfection would be: BRING BACK ROOK WOODS so we can all complete that for Leaderboards and FIX people with the "glitch" (ie the ones that got in Lisa by mistake ;D) AND, and and and, BETTER WALLS, where we can EDIT OUT POSTS and NOT see post by people we've blocked, etc...pretty pleaaaaase and thanks!
  Posted 12 months ago by elka | Permalink
- Oh my! Is that list of locations checking off all the places I've visited? If so, that may be one of my favorite improvements ever! :D
  Posted 12 months ago by Xopher TAF | Permalink
- Wow, very nice! LOVE it! :D Thank you! Merry Glitchmas!

- The locations page won't load for me. Alakol comes up and then it stalls and crashes. Gotta figure that one out!
  Update: It's definitely a Chrome glitch (no pun intended!) because Firefox works fine every time I use it.
  Posted 12 months ago by Mollie | Permalink
- The new encyclopedia is awesome. Thanks, guys! I never before realized how much I love Cosma and Lem. Before, I figured I was a Zille or Grendaline. So, it's cool that you've cleared that up for me.

- chrome freezes on the Locations Page :/ then crashes
  Posted 12 months ago by Chanteusse | Permalink
- wow locations is such a fantastic leap forward - awesome work!
  Posted 12 months ago by The Cat Face | Permalink
- I'm also on Chrome and I can see the Locations page just fine. Although, individual street images seem to come up as tiled because you can see the repeat in the pattern on either side of the main photo.
  Despite that tiny glitch... it looks awesome and you guys did a great job in the upgrade. The explanations of the Giants with the imagery there are really cool.

- Gah. Locations. Awesome. Thank you!
