what sort of thing broke the search feature, @mahz?

Also, the new roleplay search thing... could you add the middle pagination things? right now it has only got "next page" "first page" no page count or anything.

@Lady Amalthea
maybe something along the lines of "your friend _____ has just launched an RP called _____" notification?

having co-GM/GM filtering would also be convenient.

The new subscription features look nice so far, @Mahz. Sure, they still need a few of the planned features, but they're planned, so it is a good start.

Time to dig up old IntCks and RPs and resubscribe them to get them in the archives...

@NuttsnBolts@Mahz
We asked about that specific-fandom tag thing simply to save up on the time of people (potentially) asking for such here, knowing that the answer would be what it was (more or less).

The idea of a "RP membership" function is nice. Perhaps start it out simple for now with the "join RP" button thingy.

An "invite" function (available only to the GMs) could also be added, where there are two executions we think of right now:

• Automatically added, but can say no to not get added. If no response, counts as yes.
• Invited, but has to say yes to actually get added. If no response, counts as no.

later on, more features (like group PM and such) can be added in.

ability for GMs to notify everyone in the RP would be great to have built out from that.

since it only happened once, we suspect it was probably just a timeout or somesuch, @mahz.

one big question for new tags:
Do you want fandom-specific suggestions (Zombieland, star wars, star trek)?

as well as "or" and "and", it would be useful to get "not" filters.

this is what we got:

Roleplayer Guild
================

__________ ____ ____ ____
/ ____/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \
/ __/ / /_/ / /_/ / / / / /_/ /
/ /___/ _, _/ _, _/ /_/ / _, _/
/_____/_/ |_/_/ |_|\____/_/ |_|

You've encountered a server error.

If the page was loading very slowly before you arrived here,
the server timed out.

The Guild has been suffering time-out errors lately
and I'm currently dedicating the week to figuring out
why.

If you were trying to submit a post/pm/thread, you
should be able to recover your progress by pressing the
back button.

Thanks,
Mahz

oh wait, second try was better.

EDIT:
does it give a max number of threads?

We tried the tags of our (slow-paced) RP and it did not pop up.

Mahz's Dev Journal

if the search feature supported it, we'd probably be looking for RPs based on tags.

by the way... maybe you could add an automated tag to topics in Interest checks marking them as such?

Also, it probably wouldn't hurt to increase the tag limit a little again. Some RPs actually fit with a lot of tags.

Formaroth: Battle for the Throne

If we had given up, you'd have known.

Formaroth: Battle for the Throne

our muse is still not cooperating much. we're working on resuscitating it, but not sure if it'll work for formaroth. Only time will tell.

well, right now, if we recall correctly @Fallenreaper, the friend system is not connected. User A having B on his or her friend list does not equal user B knowing that A has him or her friend list. to have "remove friend" have an effect against stalking, the system would have to be reworked into one where friend additions need approval by the potential friend, and where removing such equals removal on both ends.

Yes, it would be very nice with a feature to be able to mark "collab partner(s)" for posts, @Lady Amalthea. We suspect that for forum convenience it'll be easier to still only have one "owner" but maybe this could use some of the same type of code as the previously discussed checkbox thingy for GMs to allow co-GM post editing?
