<Snipped quote by Kangaroo>

So @Hank is twice the man you are?

Nah he's just compensating

we used to have a low number, but then mahz accidentally deleted the user database for the new guild on its first day... When we got up the next day to discover that, 106 user numbers had already been claimed. But 107 is a nice number, we'd say.

We're a hundred more than you, @Kangaroo. Thus, we can claim to be in a lot more places at once.

I was actually lower on the first iteration of NewGuild. lost out a little on the respawn. But hey that's all good with me, i'm happy focusing on one thing at a time.

Just a wild thought for the status thingy...

We've seen more than one instance of people asking questions through it... would it be a good or a bad idea to have buttons there similar to the "like" thingy for "yes" and "no"?

Some rapid-fire responses to the posts I've missed:

- @BBeast: Yeah, I should allow you to sort by creation-time ascending/descending. Though there's a limitation with the current search I need to point out.
Since my database isn't optimized for search, I basically grab the first 1,000 matches and *then* sort them. That means that if your search net catches 1,000+ matches, then you'll never be able to see all of them with that query. For example, trying to paginate all of your posts made in a thread where you made 1,001 posts. Or trying to find the oldest post that says "hello" (I reckon more than 1,000 posts contain the word "hello")
At a glance, this seems sufficient enough. And it's something I should document on the search page so that people can let me know if they encounter issues with the limitation. But yeah, a sort is on my list.
- @Lady Amalthea: A username change updates that username wherever it appears in the Guild's UI. However it doesn't update @mentions in posts since that's text written by users. Though I tried to address this by redirecting /users/old-name to /users/new-name.
- @BrokenPromise: I intend to eventually show historical usernames on the profile page. It's necessary, just yet another small TODO chore.

It's up there with chores like "allow post updates to send new @Mention notifications" and stuff like that.

@Ellri If anything, I'd change the word "Like" to "Create your own contextual meaning/interpretation of this bean-counter-increasing button for this specific status", but haven't yet come up with a suitable acronym.

probably a much better solution, that.

Edit: Adding cucumbers.

Some people have been saying they have issues saving a post after editing it, and I see errors in the logs, but I haven't been able to reproduce the issue yet.

Can anyone give me an example of a situation of (and perhaps a link to) where this happens?

tried, but could not reproduce the in the edit attempt above.

Oh, think I found the cause. Seems to only be an issue on 3 year old posts.

At some point in new-guild history, I think when I rewrote the forum the 2nd time, I changed the BBCode system.

Might offer a "Migrate" button for those posts that lift the post into the new system but require you to make it compatible with the new BBCode parser.

if we recall correctly, @Mahz, you did open for such... Initially, the "old" posts were not editable. After a bit of time you enabled editing so that people could fix posts, but they had to input any formatting manually at that point.

@Mahz I guess this would have been good to put into your survey for new features - but I hadn't thought of it at the time unfortunately.
My co-GMs and I have decided to retire recently and wish to pass on the GMship to a new team. But it appears that there is currently no way for members or mods to change the original GM of a thread. Would it be possible to somehow make that possible? Thank you very much :)

I've been very sick for the past 4 days. So sick that I'll be heading to the doctor today.

Dunno what it is. Worms? Bad tacos? The resurgence of the Black Death?

Today marks the end of the 10th year that I've been running the Guild.

I will try to get on later. Worst case scenario, I may have to sign in tomorrow. Or, if even worse, Hank is my next of kin.

Feel better, Mahz, and congratulations on the 10 years!

Now where do we put in a demand for Mahz to get better?

Oh, and at the same time... where does one submit the form to deny him the right to die the next 73.483 years?

Hmm, it would appear that the post autosave system might actually override a more general textfield autosave preference when you go over the six hour limit, and proceed to nuke the content, which is a bit unfortunate.

What do you mean? For new posts?

Yeah, for the new reply textfield. Had to dig my half a post up from cryptoswap...

Is there a Suggestion Box here anywhere?

I'll go ahead and mention what I had in mind ... before I forget. (Mind like a sieve.)

You see the View All Roleplays at the top of roleplaying? Nice idea, but what would be even nicer is a View All Interest Checks.

its planned, @Mitheral. And the plan is to make it much more useful than the current "View all RPs" tool.
