Forum time is off?

@TwilightDragon Other sites are are ignoring your system settings and calculating your time offset.

It's something I'd like to do soon, too. But until then, the Guild trusts your system to know what timezone it's in. :(

Forum time is off?

@TwilightDragon: Looks like your device is set to the wrong timezone.

You said you're in EST, yet your browser thinks it's in PDT. There's your problem. There are three hours of difference between EST and PDT.

Change your device's timezone to EST and it should work correctly.

@TwilightDragon:

Can you visit this page on the device you're having an issue with and then copy/paste what you see?

For instance, I see:

d:
Sun Mar 22 2015 19:00:08 GMT-0600 (CST)

d.toGMTString():
Mon, 23 Mar 2015 01:00:08 GMT

Is there / is there going to be some sort of limiting factor on statuses? Like you can only post one every five minutes or something? Because otherwise people may try to turn the status box into a chat pod or something. That was my first thought when I saw it, that it was a chatpod. (I know we have the IRC, but that's just what irrationally came to my mind.)
Anyway, don't let my question interrupt your discussion.

@RomanAria

Yeah, I need to implement more flood protection for the Guild in general.

Though if people turn the sidebar status box into a chat box, then that's emergent behavior that simply means that I need to work on a real chat box. :)

I think if users feel the need to bend a feature to their wants/needs, then I need to help them out.

Trouble Logging In [Mobile]

@AllOurPrettySongs: Sorry, what an awful experience. :(

I have an idea that might fix it. I'll work on it now.

Bug: 'Recent Topics' links in user profiles are linking back to the recent topics page, rather than to the topics (threads) themselves.

Thanks, believe I fixed it.

suggestion: Tapatalk

@Kimi: Thanks for the feedback.

Off and on I've been working on making the Guild work on devices of all sizes. If you resize the browser, you can see the Guild kinda collapse to fit the width.

Within a month or two I think the Guild will be fully compatible with most devices, but it's turned out to be kind of a grueling and slow process. I guess Tapatalk will be my Plan B.

I do feel bad for mobile/tablet users right now though. I wish it was easier. :( In the meantime, let me know if there are any small tweaks I can do to make your life easier on smaller devices! I take these issues seriously.

Unsubscribing redirect error?

Thanks, this was fixed.

Forum time is off?

I'm in EST, but when I post a new topic in the forums it says I posted it three hours ago. Is there any way to fix it?

@TwilightDragon

Thanks for the feedback.

I've created a formal issue: https://github.com/danneu/guild/issues/54

Looking at my code, it's not obvious to me what I could be doing wrong. I'll have to dig into it.

Latest Push:

- Introduced super-basic status system. UI needs work, sidebar needs to be refactored, but it's a start.
- When someone has a status set, it's reflected in their userbit along with when it was updated:


- Added some more clutter to the sidebar


(Wow, @GreatSalmon created a status 6 hours ago when I prematurely pushed the system online for 30 seconds. )

- As usual, not implemented yet on PMs, only posts.
- I need to mention this on the create-status form, but the status system doesn't support BBCode/formatting. The only thing it will do is auto-linkify a URL if you put one in your status. Added help text above form.
- Bug: I notice that the userbit status icon starts off in a shortform timestamp like "5m" but converts back into longform "6 min ago" whenever it updates on the client.
