Haha, I actually just pushed a provisional fix for our Skype issue as you can see on Github. In a moment I will turn it on if I don't see any unexpected console.warns. Finally.

Damn, those custom backgrounds look sick. I'd love to at least do that on the homepage to liven things up. Got a source on some cool bg images I can try out?

I've been patching various long-standing bugs in the Guild software today and will continue working on it through the week.

If anyone has any issues or quality-of-life improvements that have been on their mind as they use the forum, feel free to let me know here, on Discord, or via PM.

I could work full-time on the Guild for 100 years and never run out of work, so hearing actual requests from yall helps me prioritize.

Maybe I'll even have time to land a large feature, not sure yet. But there are plenty of papercuts for me to fix. Either way it's been a while since I checked in on this thread.
@Architect Sure, I renamed them to [@Vile0].

Let me know if you friend has any trouble.
@DTHar Welcome!

It's been a while since I touched the forum's source code. The code base is pretty large. It has numerous nary-traveled nooks that rarely see the light of day, and it's littered with corridors that are started and never finished, as if @Ellri's construction gnomes simply lost interest. Frequently I'll follow some code, think "oh cool, we have this feature?", only for it to soon terminate in a gnomish comment: "TODO: finish this".*

I've been working on improving the Persistent World system to prepare for the new one.

Until now, there wasn't even a way to hide/unhide forums. The old PW forums are now hidden from the homepage, but you can still visit them directly if you have the link.

I'm also introducing a new staff role, Persistent World Mod, which of course will have privs in PW forums.

Ideally, the staff would be able to create/hide/edit forums themselves but it's tricky to build that sort of interface at the moment and I currently have to do it directly in the database.

* Whimsicalizing a situation with gnomes is always a useful coping mechanism. Damn gnomes!
