@Ellri I started implementing a tag editor on the admin panel.

To test it, so far I extracted and added time-period tags:



I'll add some of the thematic ones soon.

I should probably bump the max tag count up from 5 to 6 once I add more.
Welcome

@Vashonn Agreed.

@Buddha I actually have a feedback form that I used two years ago that nags you on the homepage until you either provide a suggestion or click ignore.

I think it's time to invoke it again to get a reading of the community's priorities.
4 days without incident. Then... deals on UK furniture.

@Vashonn Yeah, it's certainly something I could do.

The simplest solution would basically allow a convo creator to delete the convo for a given participant, which can be unfair given the context. But I think that can be solved from a UI standpoint since nothing on the Guild actually ever gets deleted.

Been noticing some lag in the forums lately. Been around for a two or so days but when I click to move between pages/sections it will occasionally hiccup for a good 10-isn't seconds before committing.


I've started spinning up a 4th mini-server. I took it down to 3 recently to see if they could handle it, but during 200+ user peak load, it definitely slows down. Not sure exactly what it is yet, though.

I also haven't fixed all the slow queries yet since I started logging them over the weekend. One of the things I wanna fix this week.

@Thespian@LegendBegins@Ellri

Skip-to-page input field now handles commas: github.com/danneu/guild/commit/c6d72e… (barely tested)

Implemented an undelete-all button: github.com/danneu/guild/commit/92503f…

It's visible when viewing the Trash folder.



It fills your Trash folder up with all deleted convos.

In the future there will be a page where you can undelete individual convos.

@LegendBegins Ohhh, that's it.



I add commas to the input field yet it doesn't actually support them.

#willfix - Yeah, simplest solution is to just scrub commas on the server before processing.
