Lots done, working with Nay and Emi for the next steps.

Forums to go offline in the next half hour,

Forums will go offline 01/20/2021 starting between 18:00 and 19:00 EST for an unknown amount of time while I update software, purge the party, and bring peace to our new Empire. - Tay

Good morning everybody, Tonight I'm planning on finishing the update process for the forums (including all themes) as well as finalizing some back-end sharing necessary for Emi to take over my admin duties. I'm still alive and around, paying for the site (etc.), but enough is enough and this is what needs to happen. I'll post later today with more definite hours/timezones for the update, and will hop on Discord closer to the appointed FuwApocalypse hour. Much < 3, Tay

Rolled everything back. Will wait for theme updates. You're safe for now, Fuwa.

I lied. The update is happening NOW. Please panic.

Forums update will be installed tonight at 8:30 PM EST. Weird time, I know, but c’est la vie. IPB 4.5.2 Stuff copy-pasted from Invision: Major New Features / Enhancements - New Front-End Design - AdminCP Dark Mode - Site Statistics, Search Insights, and Club Statistics - Marketplace now built into the AdminCP - Mobile App for iOS and Android (Beta) - Zapier Integration for Invision Cloud Communities UPDATE: Delaying update until the theme developer updates our themes. The update went fine, but 4.5 has a few rather large changes behind the scenes and our 4.4

8/25/2020 Update: Looking into the Spectrum bug. Fixed all the problems sent in the group DM on Discord Added NookGaming to the front site reviews hub

Thanks for posting the announcement, Meru!

Welcome! That reminds me that I need to go fix the formatting for my Fate/Stay Night walkthrough in the walkthroughs section...

Welcome! And I appreciated your comment on the meta thread the other day!

This would be huge for me. I'm transferring to a new hospital starting next week and have over an hour of commute each way. I could definitely start there. Is there one audiobook you especially liked & would recommend?

For those keeping score, I am still slowly going through the front site updates. Should be done within a few days. Eventually I'll be done with it and we can move on to more important things like community direction. Still here. Just cranky about the front site.

Got burned out by organizing front site updates. Will resume tonight. Zaka will have his gosh darn shiny buttons.

These LitRPGs are a bit of an acquired taste. Working on the Seeds of Chaos. Not giving up, just feel like a wanderer in a strange land.

Going to download the Chaos Seeds right now. Can't wait. Edit: Apparently I own the first one, already, but never got around to starting it. Exciting!

Invision killed the feature. Link: https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/451296-next-unread-topic/?do=findComment&comment=2788500 I messaged them to see if there was a way for us to restore the functionality.

Spectrum and Infinite Stomach are good options for those who can’t hack the glory of FuwaFabulous! At a certain @Mr Poltroon’s suggestion, made a message about this to pop up on everyone’s browser.

(Regarding profile customization previously locked behind backer status) I imagine this will roll out to everybody soon. Backer contributions were very helpful for a while, but the donation system is largely gone right now (save those who are still willing to contribute on PayPal) and I know people want those sweet, sweet profile customization options. Glad to hear it! Any performance issues anyone has, at all, please report! (And report it here, not in Discord, as it's easier for an old guy like me to track) May be a caching issue, or may be intentional from Invision. We'

Time to lock and archive?

Fixed! Can remove if people don't want it anymore, but fixed it in case the purists demand it back.

Turned off the animation. Any improvement?

Test this stuff and tell me how bad I broke things =========================== Avatars. Shape and size okay on your theme? Resizing windows on your favorite theme Sidebars look okay? Fixed Google+ for Fiddle Deleted Rooke's theme with extreme prejudice If you use the dark-dark theme (Infinite Stomach v7) how badly do you hate the animated header? And how much do you hate its height? Would you prefer it be skinnier and static? New Features I Care About Enough to Mention =========================== Admin CP notifications Email fixes

Hi everybody. My name is Tay. I’m the site admin, and I’m writing this post to share a few thoughts and to apologize for what has been a very difficult period for the site (and many of us in the real world, myself included). Please note that I am actively working on the site today (01:26 update: currently waiting on Nayleen’s help on a mysql issue that I don’t know how to solve) and will be available in this thread and on Discord throughout the day. Why did you disappear? I was overwhelmed by real-world responsibilities and the real-world issues affecting the site. I feel deep

The sh**storm continues. Reaching out to @Nayleen on Discord and Skype.
