Alright, I'll fix the profile but I'm not sure when I'll get around to it. Going to bed.

@NuttsnBolts Thanks, this is a major issue. Let me look.

Edit: Okay, I think it's fixed now.

@The World Yeah, I need to fix the Guild's search system and then roll it out to PMs/Convos. It's kinda shameful how bad the search is + how it's not even implemented on PMs. :(

Random idea: Can the friends list be given a toggle delete and/or delete all in the future? As of now you have to manually delete each one-by-one, which takes forever. You hit the x, confirm it, and then wait for the page to refresh. It isn't so bad when you've only got a few to delete but if you're deleting a bunch, it's a pain.

Also another random idea: Maybe it could also have a search feature, where people could look up usernames not unlike the user list. That way people don't have to go to each and every profile they want to add to their friends list.

Third times the charm: Bug report about the "You participated" thing. Threads you haven't participated in say you have participated in them. Though, that aside, isn't it a little redundant when we already have the green markers that tell you what threads you've posted in?

@Kuro

- Mass delete makes sense but probably too niche to warrant the effort. But it would be nice polish.
- Good idea on username search. Yeah, afaict there's no good way to even see if a username is available.
- Can you elaborate on the "You participated" bug? All I thought I did was add some text that appears on hover so that you know what it means:

EDIT: Another thing I've noticed. I don't think the new boxes in the profile options are supposed to have a url button to copy a link from.

@Kuro

Hmm, good point. Not sure what I was going for there. At any rate, the permalink should've linked to "/me/edit#anchor" rather than "/users/{username}/edit#anchor" since the former redirects to the latter depending on who's logged in. Example: /me/edit

But yeah it's a pointless link.

Aside, I also notice the username change history pointlessly shows up even if you've never changed your username.

Yeah, I patched the user profile to fix an issue with large avatars bleeding into the user info list on mobile devices.

I moved the ratings table to its own row. It's not very pretty, but a better solution didn't rear its head so I moved on to other issues. If you have ideas, lemme know.

I guess on desktop widths, I could show the ratings table as a third column (avatar | info | ratings)?

@metanoia Ideally the system would let you change back to any name you've used before. It's on my todo list but sadly it's kind of an annoying change to make due to how I built it in the first place.

Until then, you can just ask me to change your username for you and wait until I get around to it.

Mahz's Dev Journal

Alright, homepage status sidebar should now collapse correctly when loading the homepage.

@GN FOREVER Yeah, it's just because the system doesn't let you reuse old names yet, though ideally it should. I have to do it manually. I can do that for you soon. Update: Okay, done.

Mahz's Dev Journal

@Havoccultist Yeah, sorry about that. I guess something broke last week when we were making big updates.

Looking into it. Also pushing up some fixes today from @LegendBegins

@Jen They are right: I hide username changes made more than a year ago. Not sure where to put this info. The idea is that people should know that you changed your name, and they have a year to be able to connect you to your old identity, and after that you get some privacy.

@skidcrow Hmm, maybe. Is this an issue?

Mahz's Dev Journal

@Jen Oops, need to fix this.

Also thanks to those above who reported the homepage collapse issue.
