I had an idea that would (most likely) have to be placed on the "Distant-Future" section of the roadmap, if implemented. We could allow roleplays to create their own skin for the thread, that would display for all users that opt-in, and allow a tick mark in the settings for those who prefer the plain gray art style. That allows for another level of customization within roleplays, and another individualizing factor that allows the players to make it their own.

My code says I missed a semicolon.

The border actually seems to be fixed on my iPhone 5. The text was misaligned yesterday, but seems to be lining up properly today.

I actually read the "PMs" as "RPs", somehow...

<Snipped quote> I disagree, but that would be a topic for another thread, else we're going to derail the topic even further...

Well I exaggerated a bit, but they are quite similar. I agree, though, that we shouldn't derail this thread any more than we have to

@TheMaster99

Before we do so, I'd like to point out that the syntax is extremely similar, which is what most people mean when they refer to the languages themselves being alike.

I feel like my post was a little lacking XD

@souleaterfan320

You're fine.

You caught the end of it, there. When the supposed botnet finally began to retreat, the server became less overloaded little by little, allowing the main page to be accessed, then the threads, then the topics, and then the actual ability to post. If you got in on occasion before then, it's likely because your IP happened to "squeeze" within the plethora of requests the botnet was sending. It's not outlandish. That also reminds me, @Mahz that the site falling was gradual. It began with pages not loading every time and slowly got worse until the site was inaccessible, but gradually became better in chunks.

If you have no experience, go with Python. If you have little experience, try a slightly more difficult, but still high-level language such as Java or C#.

This has come up in the past and I think @Shienvien is right: shouldn't your @mentions be guaranteed to send a notification?

As far as I can tell, being able to put yourself in a position where you wouldn't receive a notification would remove a guarantee that gives the @mention system its value. But perhaps this can be resolved by the proposal in my previous post where I simply make it more convenient to see and clear all notifications from within a topic while you're viewing it.

What do you think?

@Mahz

I would say it would help. Either that or the ability to opt out of everything other than @Mentions. Either way, if someone actually is calling me from the other side of the Guild, I'll notice it. But yes, system approved. :ThumbsUpSmileyThatDoesn'tExist

@Mahz

Ever since the notification system was introduced, I've been in favor of a customized notification ability, or at least an opt-out option. I personally read every word of every thread I'm subscribed to/post on, so I just get a number stacking up in the upper-right that never gets clicked.

I like the last-read post function, though there is a bug where the "last unread" post brings you to your own if you were the last one to post on a page (at least I believe that was the criterion). It was suggested at one point to make the yellow arrow the "last-read post" while making the time stamp link to the latest post on the thread. I'm impartial to that, but I can see it being beneficial.

I must have missed those, then.

Or I checked in the later portions; if it was attacks, could have been a timezone thing.

@ArenaSnow

I'm on the Guild just about every waking minute, so I keep fairly close tabs to the status and server states.
