You can change your username once every 3 months, and your old username will still link to you and won't be recycled. PM me if you want yours done.

@JBRam2002 k, lemme see what I can do.

Edit: Think I fixed it.
Yesterday I added the feature to delete your own posts if they are <1 hour old.

I'm also interested in letting people delete their own topic/roleplay if nobody else has posted it in.

Beyond that, deletion is pretty rare.

@The Spectre Yeah, I'd like to add more BBCode like fonts which people frequently ask about.

I'd also like to find a better BBCode editor.

My editor really sucks, I had to code it myself in my free time. It's surprisingly hard to find a good off-the-shelf BBCode editor. It seems like all the commercial forums like Xenforo put hundreds of salaried man-hours into their own editor and then never share their work.

I'm never sure if it's smarter to dump another 20 hours into the Guild's current editor or invest it in a new editor. It's a weak part of the Guild for anyone that likes to format their posts and I wish it was better. -_-

The unames and timestamps should now stagger on smaller widths:

I'll try to fix the clutter issue right now so that the timestamp collapses onto its own line.

@JBRam2002 My attempt at fixing the issue was to group ghosts together if they were online within 12 hours (within "ghost range"):



Once 13+ hours have elapsed since their last-online timestamp, they aren't shown as ghosts anymore.

What does it even mean when people press that they "Like" a post?


It certainly ranges from "I like this" to "I approve of this" yet sometimes means little more than "I acknowledge this". So I'm unlikely to put a finer point on it.

It's about as meaningless as "+1", just a generic token of positivity.

@0Z It's a good idea and certainly something I want to do.

I think I'd have to make it asynchronous. Like you click "Download Archive" on a topic/convo, and the forum notifies you when the archive has been created with a download link.

It's something I want to revisit after I crunch through the popular feedback issues/requests.

@Ellri "Like" and "Approve" mean different things, no?
