@Altered Tundra Do you you know when about it started happening?
30 days ago I launched the autosave system which I think is the only time I touched the editor in quite a while.

@Lady Amalthea Yeah, sure. It's on my list now. Just trying to wrap up some other progress. 
And I also haven't yet made it to the hidden-post fix we discussed on the other page, but it's on my list as well.
@Altered Tundra Weird, could you take a screenshot?
@Genkai I think it'd be a nice feature. Maybe I could start with something simple like showing your last viewed page (if ghost-mode permits).
Working on some bugs and chore/foundational work right now.
Some of the posts above I haven't yet responded to since I had more to say than time allows.

@Catharyn If you click and drag the browser width on desktop, you can see that I've put some thought into responsiveness.
But I ended up removing the
It's something I should revisit again, but this sort of UI work (testing on all mobile / browser configurations) is relatively daunting for a project like the Guild that has such limited resources.
As for SEO advice, feel free to PM me. While the Guild performs pretty well in the SERPs, I'm always down to hear some feedback here.

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> directive since some people were having issues with it two years ago.

Done
@Ellri Not a bad idea. I like the idea of clicking a button to cycle it through the 4 states (Unselected | Maybe | Must | Not).
I agree that Interest Checks should have the same exact system. I wanted to field test the RP version first to get feedback.
I definitely need to add a sort for join-status. Maybe an "Only show open roleplays" checkbox would be a start.
Thanks for the feedback.
Probably makes sense to get the Interest Checks version online first.

@Lady Amalthea Yeah, I'll fix it on my next batch of Guild work.
@CoyoteLovely Welcome. Hopefully you have luck finding what you want.
It would seem to make the most sense to have some sort of global queue of bugs and features where I work on each one to completion one after another.
But I've found it more productive to listen to my energy levels and the other unpredictable factors like it.
Sometimes I'm at 1%, sometimes I'm at 1,000%. Sometimes I hit a writer's block where I'm stuck til I make progress in unrelated features/bugs. Sometimes I'm just burned on one subsystem yet am motivated to make progress on other subsystems. Sometimes I don't have enough contiguous uninterrupted time to tank and spank a hard subsystem. Sometimes I have to invest time on systems that aren't even visible to users.
It's just the nature of choosing among imperfect trade-offs and finite resources.
Unfortunately that does mean some subsystems and features languish far longer than I'd like.
