The quiet game is over. New record: 3 Days. But I suppose we're all waiting for this weekend and feature implementation.

<Snipped quote by LegendBegins>
Unfortunately this weekend my main goals are:

- Take another shot at what I tried to do last weekend (unread-post system).
- Make improvements to the general user-experience. For instance, if you try to make a topic and trigger a validation error (too many tags selected, title too long, etc), then the forum under most cases will silently fail, redirect you to an empty form with no error message, and leave you wondering wtf happened.
- Migrate old-guild content to current-guild by scraping archive.org.

Not very exciting, but I'll be excited if I can make progress in those areas.

At work we launched a product we've been working on for a while, so my time during the week is booked right now until things settle down. Usually I have some time on weekday evenings to work on the Guild, but not for the next 30 days or so.

WHICH OLD GUILD DO YOU MEAN?!

Oh God. yes please. please. I have shit there I need.

Oh yeah, to clarify, migrating data over from archive.org is going to be very limited.

If you can't find what you want on archive.org, then neither can I.

My main goal is to un-break as many 404 page-not-found results as I can when people stumble upon old-guild links from the tens of thousands of links on the internet that point to old-guild. Some topics are lucky enough to be fully-preserved by archive.org, many have only their first page preserved, and the vast majority of topics were not preserved.

For the love of god, don't save any Spam or Off-Topic. I do not need any amount more of my crazy 17yo self to be easily accessible on the Internet. I was kinda glad it got wiped.

Another thing: is making the "clear notifications" button NOT load a page on your list of things to do? Or is it even a possibility?

@Mahz
A quick thought. Despite the fact that we have an arrow that leads to the latest post, is there any reason the text "X Time Ago" doesn't also link to the latest post on the subscriptions page?

My example: http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/2317817

But I suppose, in the grand scheme of things, I could avoid hacks or requiring to change the Guild's parser by putting [/list][list] between each item (ie. close the list and open it again). It's only a small piece of effort to pay.

[h3]Header A[/h3]

[list]
[*] Item A
[*] Item B
[*] Item C
[/list]

[h3]Header B[/h3]

[list]
[*] Item A
[*] Item B
[/list]

Obviously the UI design here kinda sucks at that width, but until I think of something better, the idea is that people can associate the [-->] button as the "go to the latest post" button.

If timestamps were always hyperlinked, do you think that would be obvious to people? Maybe I can just replace the buttons with hyperlinked timestamps altogether?

I'm trying to come up with UI consistencies that are also mobile-friendly.

For example, here's what a roleplay subscription currently looks like on mobile:
