@JBRam2002 The character tab is, of course, just a series of forum posts. It would take some creativity on my part to think of a way to hack a character system on top of that, but it's something I'd like to revisit. I'm still working through the list of features a lot of people asked for on my recent feedback form.

---

I'm finishing up two features right now.

Feature #1: the Guild is going to start tracking post edit history.



Each time you edit a post, a revision is created.

This feature is a necessary precursor to the following system that allows GMs/Co-GMs to edit the same posts. That way there's an audit trail and a way to revert bad edits (whether due to vandalism or accident).

---

This enables feature #2: the "0th Post" system.

The 0th post is an optional post that GMs can create on each roleplay tab. It displays before all the other posts, and all GMs / Co-GMs can edit it. Useful for collaborating on rules, character templates, world exposition, whatever.

Here's the UI that I've got working so far:





That "Revs: 8" on the 0th post is indicating that there have been 8 revisions made to the post. GMs can click it to see and manage the post's revisions.

I also want to increase the Co-GM limit from 2 since now Co-GMs can actually do something.

Content Question

@Tasuke Sexual content can't show up on the public board when it becomes graphic, i.e. describes the sexual act in more-than-passing detail.

I'm not sure if this is any more meaningful, but off the top of my head, this is sexual content that you would expect a PG-13 movie to replace with a fade-to-black.

If you have some examples you want to show me, you can PM me.

Soon, I'd like to enhance the "18+" tag so that sexual content can exist in semi-public by restricting 18+ tagged roleplays/checks so that they are only viewable by other people who can say they're 18+.

That would make things a lot better for everyone. For example, if your roleplay decides to take a turn into adult content, you can simply add the 18+ tag instead of having to uproot everything to take it to PM.

Mutual friendships no longer show up as ghosts on the friends list (homepage sidebar and roleplayerguild.com/me/friendships).

Edit: Actually, not yet. Gotta fix it. brb

Edit: Okay, think it works now.

Yeah, the hardest thing about coming up with an email system is that I've never used a forum's email-notification system.

Maybe I could start off with this UI at the top of the subscriptions page:

For subscriptions set to "Email Me", send me an email: Immediately | 15min Digest | Hourly Digest | Daily Digest
For roleplays set to "Email Me", send me an email for new [ ] OOC posts, [X] IC posts, [X] Char posts

[Save]

Further granularity makes sense, but I don't want to over-encumber my first attempt at this feature.

Obviously, as you use the forum and naturally clear your notifications, nothing should be emailed to you if you opted into one of the digest options.
