Ok, I made a major change to the database (but I'm not done). Please hop on discord if you find errors doing something!

> Okay so Mahz, I've got the signatures toggled to off, but I'm still getting signatures, I have tried and retried but to no avail.
> I'm on my smartphone if that makes a difference, also the aforementioned avatars being left of text is fixed though very few people have avatars now, do I need to re-add mine?
1. Oh man, already see my dun goof within seconds of opening the template. To determine whether to display a sig, instead of checking if the person viewing the sig has `hide_sigs` on, I'm checking if the post's creator has `hide_sigs` is on. ([source](https://github.com/danneu/guild/blob/83148a82b9a65194d9a179b4e7c558532b63c04d/views/show_topic.html#L238)) - I'll fix after work.
2. Since I'm not hosting avatars on the guild (file-upload is a bit too much work right now), I couldn't think of an easy way to import everyone's avatars. You'll need to upload to a host like <http://imgur.com> and copy in the direct link.
I may host a page that links usernames to their old avatars from the old server if it turns out that people miss them.
Thanks. Those are bugs.
- PM count query only counts PMs you've sent. I need to change it to sum all PMs in all Convos. (I've started working on a notification system that actually shows unread PMs, by the way)
- I'll look into why you can't see PMs to yourself. It's probably just an issue with the database query and it needs to be tweaked to also look for convos that contain only yourself.
Since I rewrote all of the database queries by hand for the migration, I got a few wrong. But all of the data is still there, old and new. :)
Thanks for letting me know. I'll add these to my dev journal to let others know I'm aware.
> it just keeps sending me to the main page when I click it with the post stuff. Laos when I click the topic button it send me to a internal server screen.
Can you explain?
So, you fill out the form under "New Topic", click "Create Topic", and then what? When does it go to the homepage and when does it go to the internet server crash screen?
Agreed. I'm working on a notification system right now.
Look at the pack of silver beasts help each other out!
Yeah, I rewrote the site and haven't yet ported the BBCode over.

Just deployed an update for mobile-sized browsers when viewing posts.
For tablets (Smaller avatars):
For smartphones (Left-aligned user meta):
Commit: <https://github.com/danneu/guild/commit/83148a82b9a65194d9a179b4e7c558532b63c04d>
Any issues?
> Avatars overlap with text (or "slide behind" text) in narrower windows.
>
> I sometimes appear to be randomly logged out when I have "Remember me" ticked. Including when I haven't even closed the browser in between.
>
> Still sometimes cannot access the site via roleplayerguild.com. (Caches cleared.) Links frequently try to direct me there rather than the alt domain, which means that I frequently end up on (or even am forcefully redirected to when trying to write into the address bar) the "If you're still seeing this" page.
1. Thanks for letting me know. I'll put some more effort into mobile-sized views again tonight to fix that issue. I'll try to be better about checking for mobile-device compatibility before I deploy.
2. I can't do anything about that "If you're still reading this page"/"Stale page" issue.
Quick explanation of DNS: Where `roleplayerguild.com` points to on the internet is data that is cached by every ISP and their ISPs for different lengths of time instead of having to repeatedly ping my DNS record every single time someone navigates to roleplayerguild.com. Once their cache expires, they look up my DNS record and cache the new value. Sounds like your ISP's caches are slowly updating, just not all at once.
Fixed the remember-me/sessions-timing-out issue just now. It won't go into effect until you login again (i.e. a new cookie gets created on your browser).
- Without "remember me" checked, the session lasts 1 day
- With it check, the session lasts 1 year (i.e. until you manually log out again)
What happens when they swap out `www.roleplayerguild.com` with `prod-guild.herokuapp.com`?
Like: <http://prod-guild.herokuapp.com/topics/74846/posts/ooc>
Do they get 504 errors on that other domain?
(They both go to the same server)
> Just a strange error I encountered, but every time I log into RPG on my Mac (Windows bootcamped), it says "Internal State Error." It works when I use incognito mode, but fails when I regularly use Chrome. I hope that the issue is eventually fixed when some updates are made!
Wow. I'll try to find it in the logs.
So it happens after you type in your creds and press submit the login form?
