@Altered Tundra

Made an issue for the VM notification linkage fix: github.com/danneu/guild/issues/142

@Pair of Hearts Good idea. I'll do something simple like bump to 10 convo recipients if you have 30+ posts on the forum.

Issue: github.com/danneu/guild/issues/143

@The Grey Dust I think NotTelling | Male | Female | <Fill in the blank> should be a good compromise.

Issue: github.com/danneu/guild/issues/144

@Pair of Hearts

>A feature to create your own Folders would be much appreciated, too. My Inbox, Starred, Archive and Trash are all over the place.

Yeah, the PM system is still straight shit.

The first glaring issue I want to fix is highlighting convos/folders in the user interface when they have unread PMs: github.com/danneu/guild/issues/140

It would take some work to refactor the PM system in customizable folders, but it is something I want to do: github.com/danneu/guild/issues/145

@Altered Tundra Thanks. I forgot to make the linking smarter on the notification list. #willfix

Doing some work on the server/database. Expect some intermittent downtime.

Edit: Upgraded the database to a much better machine.

Just deployed an effort to fix the visitor-message notification system so that you get notified when anyone replies to a VM thread that you've engaged in on any profile.

For example, if NuttsnBolts and Mahz reply to Hank's VM on Fozbert's profile, then if someone adds another reply to that VM, {Hank, NuttsnBolts, Mahz, Fozbert} all receive a notification. Not sure why I never implemented that. Let me know if it doesn't work like that, still.

@NuttsnBolts Agreed, it's terrible UI. I'll make an issue for it.

When you click the PMs button because it has a (3) on it, you just get dumped into the convo list and have to figure out which 3 convos are new. I could fix this by highlighting the convos that have unread PMs, and also by highlighting the folders that contain those convos.

@WaterWitch Welcome

If you find a roleplay that interests you but you're not sure what to do, just post in its OOC (Out of Character) tab and the GMs should be able to help you out.

I reduced the ratelimit for liking people's statuses from 30 seconds to 3 seconds. 30 seconds is way too long.

If I'm mirin two statuses on the sidebar, I shouldn't have to sit there like an idiot for 30 seconds before I can like the second one.

Okay, the migration finished. Let me know if you encounter any issues or abnormalities.

I just completed a successful test-run of migrating our database to a new webhost and an updated version.

Soon I will take the Guild offline (for maybe one hour) to migrate the database for real.

@Terminal pointed out that the image upload limit is too small.

I bumped the max image upload size from ~1 MB to ~2 MB (2,000,000 bytes).
