Agreed. Work is being done on this.

Others avatar

Thanks. I use a nasty browser hack to detect the size of the avatar. I'll have to take a look.

Individual Page Selection + Ability to Delete PMs

Agreed on both counts. PM deletion is near the top of my priority list. Soon™.

Alright, darkened and tweaked the color of some components.

@Mercenary Lord: Yeah, those are easy issues for me to fix. #willfix

@Mahz, I noticed the ↑ Top link is actually a full-width div. I just mention this because sometimes I click under the posts to re-focus the window, and found myself launched up to the top of the page. It might be better for the bottom of topics to be more compacted by reducing the click area of the ↑ Top link to a smaller space (or to the text itself), and perhaps moving some other elements in the center space to the right of it.

@Captain Jordan

Nice catch. I meant to put the link inside of a <div>, not make the link itself span the width. #willfix

For no real reason except curiousity, @Mahz, what is the status on a potential facelift for the guild? I know it's completely unneeded, but I just like to derp around with the idea

@Mercenary Lord

I'd only be able to pull off an ambitious facelift if an entire cohesive design was entirely stubbed out for me to just copy/implement. Or if I just chimped the cross-product of multiple designs that we liked. But in the short run, I think we'd get better bang for the buck making some incremental improvements to the current theme. For one, the shades of grays don't match. Help.

@LegendBegins and @Mahz if you/general public do prefer it at the bottom, that's cool with me. I just thought not scrolling to the bottom may save people some trouble. Though now that we've got it implemented, will we in time, be able to see "Last Seen" as what thread or page they're looking at, as opposed to just being online? And a quick question about the Etherpad, will GMs be able to turn it on/off at will? I think the last time the site tried to have a live feed of people posting (or I'm making things up because I'm old and tired right now?) it created a ton of lag. If there are say 50 Etherpads in use (which is a low number compared to the hundreds of active RPs going on) wouldn't things begin to get glitchy or slow? It's a cool concept for quick chit chat but I'd rather not risk any lagging page loads or server overload. If it won't, I say go for it. :3

@Genkai

- I put the viewer list on the top and bottom. That way you actually see it. I think it's too fun of a feature to tuck away, although I will have to consider ensuring it's not too annoying when a forum has many viewers. - The new viewer system is pretty much the start of what will be the "Latest Activity" system. Right now it just supports the activities of viewing a forum and viewing a topic. I'll surely extend it with more. - Yeah, the EtherPad tab should be opt-in on the GM's part. EtherPad is definitely not something most roleplays will want or need, but it'll be there for the groups that want it. It also shouldn't be bound to roleplays alone. For example, you should be able to create a pad with some selected friends if you want to.

Is it character limit or word limit?

Limit is now 150k flat.

Etherpad is great. @Mahz did you hear it's now in Sandstorm.io?

@Captain Jordan

Haha that's how I heard about it. Until then I'd only heard of EtherPad from people on the Guild using it off-site. I assumed it was some proprietary but freemium SaaS. When I saw it on Sandstorm (well, which I saw on HN), it blew my mind that it is open-source with a simple API. I could immediately see how I'd integrate it after skimming through its docs. Has session support and everything to integrate into the guild's system.
