Added avatars, signatures, and a way to hide all sigs. Go to your profile -> edit.

Works for me, but I'm on a pretty powerful machine. What device, operating system, and browser are you using? Also, what is the version of your browser? Right now I'm making the browser do the work of rendering posts to HTML with some Javascript, so that's probably the script you're executing out on. I'm looking for a good/performant way to render posts on the server instead of the browser, so soon this shouldn't be an issue for anybody.

I searched the database and only found one user with the word "zoey" anywhere in their username: <http://www.roleplayerguild.com/users/9497>

Give me a while. What makes this kind of code hard is that once I deploy it, even patching it with small bugfixes will break everyone's posts so I can't just fire off a hotfix to support hiders and other BBCode. I need to do some deliberate testing. I do recognize how important it is for post organization, so it's high on my short-term todo list.

> I am advising that the tab title should not be merely "Roleplayer Guild" all the time. Instead, it should depend on which page the user currently is, such as "Casual Interest Checks - Roleplayer Guild" when the user is on the Casual Interest Check section, etc. This would better enable users to better recognise which tab is which when they are browsing in multiple tabs, and to be able to distinguish entries in their browser histories. > > Thank you for your attention. Right on. This is a good example of polish I'm still working on porting over from the previous iteration of the guild. I'll be deploying some fixes when I get off work tonight.

> I'm enjoying the new update! This definitely looks so awesome! My one erk is the way to get to a thread from the subscriptions page. That is slightly annoying especially when I'm normally on a Ipad. Can you elaborate? > I find that the only problem I've really had so far was figuring out the reworking of images. I was a little confuzzled for a while, but I've managed to get a few images properly worked out. Just thought I should let ya know. Yeah, the editor makes image-embedding more complicated than necessary. The syntax is just ``. Though weirder than just `[img=http://example.com/flower.png]` (how it used to be) which is syntax that will return soon. I'm going to bed for the night. Haven't slept since I took the server down last night to migrate. ^^

> *Am I doing something wrong with the italics thingymagig? If I put a space in my paragraph it makes the italics disappear all together? I'm really happy for the new changes to the guild but I admit that I'm a little overwhelmed with them!* I guess it makes sense for the parser to assume that *this. Was not intended to be the start of a multiline italicization that ends here*. BBCode is what allows multiline stuff because it's a better assumption that `[i]` on one line matches an `[/i]` on the other. It's one of the reasons I like both Markdown and BBCode - I'd rather write `*hello*` instead of `[i]hello[/i]` in most cases. So it'll be nice to have BBCode back to support more formatting options.

> But... The new hider and spoiler tags. What are they? > > Also why this script? I know Rich Text Format is far better, was there some kind of limitation? Other than maybe learning to get it up, but yeah... I still have to port the hider tags to javascript. The hider tags you see on old posts/sigs were just ported over from the old system. Not sure what you mean by "script", but the reason I rewrote the guild was to address the scaling issues. That's why there aren't many feature changes (and it's lacking most of them) -- I rewrote it in a new language and didn't have time to port over the old code. But now that the guild is stable, I'll go and bring back those familiar features back over. > It would seem signature images are no longer scaled-to-fit and now appear more-or-less size, with scroll bars to compensate for this size. > > I guess this means most of my 100+ images in my rotator can be viewed at full size, but I am finding the scroll bars distracting to say the least. The max-width scaling is actually a problem because people would unknowingly embed wallpaper-sized images and massive gifs into the sig, draining 10mb of data every time someone saw one of their posts. The scrollbars are intentionally ugly. Your sig needs to be over 300px tall for the scrollbars to appear. Soon there will be hider tags which allow users to keep their sigs compact. > Hey Mahz, I dunno if you have heard this yet, but many people would like a notification to show "x amount of new PMs" I think it'd be easier for us to know instead of constantly having to check our PM box. > > Thanks man, good work on the new site. Yeah, I've been thinking about ways to implement an unread system with performance in mind. Just showing total PM count was always just a better-than-nothing hack.
