Ok, I made a major change to the database (but I'm not done). Please hop on discord if you find errors doing something!

I flipped the Guild over to a new server just now.

Lemme know if you notice a difference in either direction.

@Vesuvius00 Okay, I'll try to make it less noisy or merge the pages. Or give you a simple toggle so you can just turn it off for now.

Would it be possible to have archived or no-notification subs on the same page as normal subs? For example, if an RP has a lot of OOC chatter, I don't necessarily want a notification every few minutes, but I still want to be involved IC.


Yeah, that'd be better.

Current solution was just the simplest. I'd like to refine it once I work out the more kritical kinks.

@Webmaster No, I def agree with you.

It's a quick but ugly trade-off I made to fit the checkbox into the grid layout without having to rewrite the layout.

Unfortunately, UI development is the slowest part of the Guild, so I try to aim for "meh, good enough" for the sake of getting anything done.

The Guild would probably be able to keep a UI developer busy full-time for years.

One good quality of the grid layout is that it collapses into something decent on small devices:



I'd like to try to turn mobile-device support back on in the near future to see if anything has improved.

@Etcetera Okay, I hid the help text to try to reclaim some vertical space.

You said the formatting is screwed up though. Can you gimme a screenshot or something?

Here's what it looks like for me:



I had to change the grid layout of the panel to fit the checkbox alongside each row.

@Etcetera Thanks, looking into it.

Good point about the instructional text. I'll hide it by default or shrink it.

I pushed up an experimental notification system for when someone posts in one of your subscribed topics / roleplays.

You'll notice you can now archive subscriptions: roleplayerguild.com/me/subscriptions

- Regular subscriptions will notify you when someone posts in them.
- Archived subscriptions do not notify you. They're more like bookmarks, topics / roleplays you want to keep on your "favorites" list but you don't necessarily wanna know when they receive updates.

Special thanks to @Ellri for what I think was a simple implementation idea.

If you encounter issues, lemme know.
Welcome

Something is locking up the database, so excuse any issues.

Edit: I may have to temporarily disable /search until I can fix an catastrophic issue.

@Ellri I'm playing with the /me/subscriptions/archive idea right now.

Maybe I can get some notifications working soon for subscriptions.
