(Ehh... To be fair I strongly prefer manually writing tags to a text editor/rendering this broken. But that is that. At least the site works for now.)
Okay, so the login/session creation itself indeed works as intended (although if it didn't, then it probably wouldn't work for me, either, let alone in all devices, operating systems and browsers available to me), but your computer for some reason doesn't store or doesn't allow the retrieving of the session key.
- I asked it before, but what firewall/antivirus do you use (if any, but as it is Windows, I typically assume there is something)? It *shouldn't* interfere, but it is at least possible. (Sorry about pointless little and more than possibly somewhat repetitive questions; save from you giving me long-distance control over your computer I can mostly only guess what might or might not work for you and, well, it can in general be a bit difficult to fix something you cannot even seem to make not function yourself).
I am aware that not everything has been implemented yet - I am predominantly just listing the things I didn't notice being (explicitly) mentioned in the TODO list in the opening post. That, and I find that some things should be prioritized over others a bit more - such as "hide online status" carries very little importance over matters concerning basic text structuring issues on a site that is specifically dedicated to creative writing. Font colors and such are more often than not abused by people, but line breaks? Got to have line breaks for IC posts.
> As for it not working at all, that's news to me.
I read the note on the solution Mahz currently has for text formatting, and hence I'm aware that we're dealing with a clientside solution - the issue was, indeed, that it occasionally takes either a very substantial amount of time to trigger the rendering of the text, or the rendering doesn't trigger at all. Sometimes it takes a second or a few, sometimes I can stare at a page for several minutes and nothing changes (although it seems that scrolling the post off page and back sometimes fixes the issue and makes the rendering process finally trigger).
Edit: No, rest of text, you are not quote.
Total PM count is broken for me - it is displayed as 81, when in fact it is nearing 200.
Still impossible to access the site via roleplayerguild.com; all cached information has been cleared a couple of times, so this shouldn't be an issue.
Do I understand correctly that BBCode/HTML-style tags are going to be brought back? The current system is rather wonky, to say the least (especially for a person who tends to use punctuation rather liberally, especially in OoC posts). Besides, Markdown is *not* unambiguously interpreted. (And hey, why is stuff between two asterixes italicized? Most other places that consider this to be text formatting - say, almost anything Google-related - bolds the text in between instead. And plenty of people I know use this format to signify actions or sounds...)
- And if there is one principle I want my text formatting to follow, then it is absolute unambiguity. I don't want to discover that my post has ended up looking weird due to my punctuation habits being interpreted as formatting or the interpretation process misfiring (both of which have already happened in the couple of posts I've made since the relaunch). Markdown has all the disadvantages of a WYSIWYG text editing (such as random parts of text deciding they need to be something else than intended as soon as you do anything a bit less standard ... like press enter), minus the actual WYSIWYG. It is *not* a good system. (Also, give me my asterixes back. I don't want them parsed.)
And how do I do text that is both bolded and italicized?
**...And why on Earth does this this thing eat single line breaks!?** That - omitting single line breaks - is a crime against all writers everywhere, if I've ever seen one. I have long preferred the line break and tab paragraphing (as seen in books) to the double line break common in many net environments (as the double line break makes especially dialogue visually rather hard to follow for me, atop of simply looking ugly and adding ridiculous amount of scrollable space), and now we have been stripped of single line breaks entirely? Well, be I damned... At least until I get my single line breaks back. Missing the tab key's functionality was hard as is.
...I had one more thing to point out, but honestly I forgot what it was when I noticed it omitting single line breaks in preview.
Oh yes, I remembered - the formatting tends to take its time to kick in (I am writing this for a rather powerful PC that typically loads script-heavy pages instantly, Firefox browser). I am aware it it a clientside solution, however the time delay tends to be too significant for comfort - and sometimes the formatting doesn't pop in at all unless I scroll the text out of view and back. (I literally stared at a short OoC note of mine for two minutes, then went to edit the post because I became convinced that if it hadn't popped up by then, the interpreter must have consumed the formatting altogether. The formatting was there all right ... and further observation confirmed that this is indeed how "lazy" the formatting pop-in is.
In-thread online markers haven't been implemented (same as forum-view Subscribed-markers).
(Subscribed) tags no longer exist next to thread titles in forum view; that was a feature I myself found somewhat convenient as a visual identifier.
> > So, Mahz, [this](http://puu.sh/e0BLJ.jpg) is what was being circulated as to what the new guild would look like. Just wondering if you actually sent this in the IRC.
> Totally, it's so pretty
Excluding the white text on orange/red/green background. That should be black. And the white text on the near-black background should be silver. Else it's eye-strain.
So, this happened. Things be missing, but will allegedly (as per the claims in the journal topic) be ported in soon. New text editor is odd (and too, eh, liberal for my tastes?). RPG looks odd. Only new posts can be edited.
...**And,** as I just noticed, the text interpreter omits single line breaks? Well, damn, *that* must be a definite crime against all writers of some description if I've ever seen one. Missing anything resembling tab spacer is/was annoying to deal with as is.
Jack, I tampered a bit with some other things (html buttons, pushing up posts to the archives, may or may not done something with appearance), but haven't really touched the session management of the Compendium - mainly because I kind of try to resolve things on step-by-step basis, which means that anything I do with this particular will essentially be halted till I get some feedback (that is not to say I need replies **now**, but more so just to let you know). Well, that, and I had a couple of other things I had/wanted to work on a bit.
@Veridis Quo: I quite principially fill sheets with only the information that would be at least somewhat apparent from looking at the character if only possible. I do so halfway due to my general dislike of the sheet format, halfway due to story and immersion purposes - if a man greeted you on the street, you wouldn't know what he is like, either, and hence it is more organic if you and your character learn to know who my character is bit-by-bit, too.
6'10 would incidentally be shorter than no less than three of my adult male cousins (I have five adult male cousins, but the remaining two, although still over two meters tall, are something like 2.02 and 2.06, I think, so under 6'10'' ... and then I have two female adult cousins and a whole bunch of other cousins who are all fourteen years to over two decades younger than I; I have a lot of cousins). One of them - my adult male cousins, that is - somewhat recently went to live with my Australian branch of family for a year or two, get some working and experience and such, and is quite frequently complaining that it is almost impossible to find clothes for a man that size there. But as far as the characters in the RP go, then 6'10'' should at the very least be taller than the, er, human humanoids currently in the group? Not so much true for the less human members.
(I sort of consider height a somewhat important aspect in interactions ... makes some psychological difference whether you're looking someone in the eyes or have to look good ways up at them, for instance.)
I wonder where exactly your character is from... I am not precisely certain how far the deserts of that area reach (is Golerin considered a desert-region or have desertlike areas?). The Drylands primarily only have stray Catolohnians and I've implied a couple of times that also some derivate or branch of my magesfolk (Amratarians/Ardektarians/Ieaktarians more specifically) live somewhere in the region.

...Okay. Legion claims that he still hasn't been able to access the site the entire day, and as such quite strongly prefers to move as, well, not being able to access the site quite strongly hinders one's ability to RP.
@Jack: You made Jevog Denum and the associated mountains teal (which is a color you get when you mix green with cyan (and white) ... a sort of blueish green), and were quite surprised when Nihlus specifically referred to a location adjacent to the region as "near the teal mountains". You said you thought it was gray, and asked why no one told you... To be fair, it actually didn't look out of place to me, so it'd have never occurred to me that it was unintentional. We talked about painting the ocean purple on accident (you stated that you were surprised that you didn't manage to do it while you were at it) and how your father used to have a purple car which he thought was blue (and how my mother used to have a car which people with perfect color vision could not agree upon whether was green or blue ... it was midday summer sky blue for me personally; what green car? My camera and computer agreed with me, the very least....), too, but as far as I know, the ocean itself has always been blue, or at the least it has been so ever since you first uploaded the map.
(The names of colors used in many places are perhaps more often than not misleading, though... "Red" on old RPG was some odd faded pink, for instance. At other times, you're likely to end up with something that is less "green" and more "neon pain".)
Hrn... So it still doesn't want to let you access it. As for the specific outcome, that essentially means that the site handles the session just fine, but your computer either doesn't bother to store the session key or does not permit retrieving it for validification (the only thing that is stored on your side is the key; the actual session sits on the server and the server merely checks whether or not it belongs to your device), so it would perhaps be more apt to say that your computer does not like the Compendium (if it is of any condolence, then the control panel thingy uses the exact same type of session authentication, and the source is the exact same, so you most likely wouldn't have been able to access that, either).
Win 7 Ultimate with Firefox worked just fine in my case. See whether at least the login failed/succeeded now has Session status: [should be 2] and the aforementioned random numbers and letters beneath it? (Although beneath the login succeeded/failed text and the little explanatory paragraph, not upper left corner). I am quite certain it is your computer mismanaging the session key (somehow), but just in case...
Else ... eh, I guess I'll do what I said earlier on and set up a few more types of sessions if your computer insists on not liking the Compendium, see whether it is okay with one of them and in the worst case scenario just implement bothsided key-forwarding, maybe tomorrow evening. Win 7 inherently shouldn't be a problem, Firefox pretty much cannot be a problem (this type of session does not have cookies of anything, although I might add some to see whether those work), your firewall/antivirus, perhaps? What do you have on those terms?
On a random note, I am on and off quite tempted to add another deity of mine ... one I am not even sure what for would be used.
@Veridis Quo: He would be the youngest character in this RP, I believe - by absolute age, anyway (Jaelnec is twenty, but appears younger due to being a nightwalker, as those age somewhat slower). Hrm, and how tall is he, exactly? (Mainly asking because my personal understanding of relative height tends to be a bit skewed compared to most of the rest of the world.) Else looks quite interesting to me; remains to be seen how much, say, my character's and your's morals differ. (Especially since his people - although with a strong warrior-culture - most likely consider Deliph a devil for glorifying war. "There is no honor in killing nor glory in war," their most important text starts out with.) - My own character is not particularly religious, though, and likewise tends to judge people a bit more laxly than his cultural background would dictate.

Hrn. That is an interesting error... Not that it were particularly mysterious ... quite the opposite, I know precisely what that means, even if I don't know why'd you get it, as I myself didn't have the issue on three different computers, several browsers each, or even my cell phone with Firefox/FF Beta/Chrome/native browser (excluding closing the browser and trying to directly access the editing section without going through the login).* I believe you were using Firefox (as I recall you mentioning it one time when you didn't have internet) and some manner of Windows?
- It means that either your computer decided to eat the session key, or it wasn't, for some reason, set for the page you're looking at (and thusly tried to connect to the database with the default values). Made the login page session start slightly more aggressive and temporarily added some slight debugging text - if you move to any other category from the login successful/failed page, the very upper left corner (above even the header title) should say "Session set active", and on the next line have a quite a few of seemingly random letters and numbers. See whether it says something; if not, then I'll probably add a few more different connections/sessions and hope that one of them will go through (which is a very common practice, to be fair, since people's computers apparently do not like types of connections and manners of storing session info all the time).
(Will probably also add a terminate session link at the footer of the edit page ... if for no other reason, then it would make logging back in more easier.)
*I was logging in with my own account, but that shouldn't make a difference in the session being maintained. If there was an issue with your privileges or password, it would have said something else.
Edit: Do we still have a Nessa amongst us?
(Hrn... I did remember you were quite color-shade-blind, and hence sort of assumed you probably wouldn't be able to fully relate what I was going at with the colors and contrast, but if both the person who is half-colorblind and the person who lives in a world that is often just too colorful and sharply contrasted have issues, then it probably goes to show that the situation with colors and contrast is bad indeed... In my case, though, the medium-light theme (coupled with the lowest brightness setting possible for the screen and the lights in the room turned on) is the least painful. The dark theme's pure white text, especially with the garish neon tags mingled in (which also have white text on them, despite all the brightness) is just too much - my contrast sensitivity simply cannot take it. Makes eyes adjust to the nice dark backround, which means that anything light is quadruple the brightness... I guess I know how Nightwalkers feel?)
Anyway, vote for migrating/not migrating to Iwaku? At the present, I am neutral, since I am sort of willing to see whether whatever Mahz is doing now works. If the situation hasn't improved after two weeks, I'll probably move my vote.
For moving: 3 (Legion, Mercinus, ASTA)
Neutral: 5 (Shien, Nessa(n/s), Ashgan(n/s), Rhae, Veridis)
For staying: 2 (Yoshua(n/s), TNY)

Oeh... Happy new year, Jack! And happy new year everyone else, too!
@Jack: I don't know whether you've noticed, but I actually did put the editing system pre-alpha up ... some days ago? [There is a login link at te footer of the page - a strange place to keep your login link, but it is also a login link most visitors have no business with.] As said, it is indeed very pre-alpha at the time being, but it is functional. I'll see whether I can get you buttons for HTML tags when I am a bit more awake ... easy enough with singular fields, might need a bit of thinking with cyclic constructs. (Could probably self-invent less and fetch some plugin, but self-inventing is more interesting.)
The test table is generally for either of of us to play around with - see whether some tags work and what not -, but, eh, it might be preferable if you don't touch it while it has this big red "WORKING" written next to it. Undesirable things may happen. Maybe. Who knows? (Mainly confusion; breaking the test table cannot harm the actual Compendium.)
You will also be able to edit things that come up in search shortly (probably once I've reinvented formatting buttons), as well as alter the sidebar (add more categories and whatnot). I'd probably also have to tell you what logic the category/subcategory/sortby fields follow. Put up some kind of explanatory text, most likely, and insert a check for uniqueness. Might do something with the dictionary editing, too, as dictionaries are structured a bit differently.
See whether you can log in just fine? [The session should last for as long as your browser stays open - if you'd like I can add cookies and remembering devices.] And if there is anything I forgot to determine the color of, let me know immediately (I am not sure about the tooltips and scrollbars myself; there may be a thing at the foot of the test table page which has white buttons,, that I know). Else ... have fun editing, I guess? The database has been backed up and it should be impossible to do something worse than delete an entry you didn't intend to delete or break a hider tag.
As for RPG ... I have to agree it has been rather annoying lately. Seems to be a rather common opinion. The only serious alternative that has been suggested (aside of RPA [http://role-player.net], which is vBulletin and tends to hate some devices and is hated by some Internet providers) is Iwaku [https://www.iwakuroleplay.com] - which is a bit smaller site than RPG, and has quite some more things to it than just the forums, but it has been stably up and running, which is something that cannot be said about RPG.
(The only direct complaint I have about the site is the colors used - it took me all of dozen minutes to go from "this looks awfully contrasted" to "the damn thing hurts." The price I pay for good nightvision and being able to tell apart colors quarter of a hue removed, I guess... (I was very inclined to just try looking at it with sunglasses, as I had already absolutely minimized the contrast and brightness of my laptop screen, but sadly both pairs of sunglasses I own were sitting on a shelf at my home more than two hundred kilometers away at that time.) As it turned out, though, I was not the only person to have problems looking at the site, so the admin added another theme (must commend them for listening to their users and acting on what they said) which is at least mostly viewable (barring the neon tags and some gray-on-teal text). Sadly the new theme is light, not dark, but eh, it is something, and I am quite certain that if we specifically asked for a "faded" dark theme, it would be added, too.)
The RP would probably be a bit annoying to move with how branched it has become, but if the majority desired so, I'd wager it could be done. As for me, I am willing to give Mahz's site one more chance now that he is allegedly doing something again, but I am not against moving the RP, either (and will certainly support it, should RPG persist to be more down than up for several more weeks despite the attempts to fix it).
Hrm ... Cast a vote?
To anyone concerned: I have all posts, so at least those are safe.
As for posting order: Legion/ASTA in one collab, Nessa in the other, Ashgan with Jillian, Merc/Rhae in Zerul? Don't think I can post myself, regrettably... I should also have more time from now on. Relatively, anyway. (Right now I may ramble, for I am overly tired. People waking me up at unfortunate times, mostly.)
@Veridis Quo: Just in case the site goes down for an elongated period of time (which we cannot say with absolute certainty won't happen), do you have some form of e-mail/Skype/etc you're willing to give out (not necessarily publicly; you can PM me)? It was quite the pain, gathering all the players back up when old RPG died...

Erh... There is no tradition of leaving one's pets to the group should one decease per se, but it has simply happened so. You don't leave a perfectly good horse or donkey out in the wild, especially when you have more people than rides. And leaving a currently-flightless bird behind would simply be a bit cruel.
And yes, amongst the characters who are currently in the RP, there are no heavily armored people.
