  • october updates megathread (last updated: 21/10)

clare please let me know if you run into any issues or have any feedback!

Slight layout issue on the typing indicator on mobile~

      I do also wonder if it would be better if the thread icons showed the avatar of the last poster, rather than the OP. At least it feels a bit unintuitive to me for it to be the OP ^^'

        I also was kinda serious about the notification idea ^^' Ain't nothing like occasionally reminding someone that something's happening to keep them coming back~

          COUPLED yeah thats p much the main issue, there's no real reason to use a forum over discord except for personal preference.

          malmon will look into it ty

          i kinda agree but not sure it should be positioned where it is currently. i do think first poster avatar is kinda useless info though.

          malmon i think the features to get notifications from thread replies and stuff are in place already but not sure i can just go and set them up for everyone. maybe i can bulk email and have some sort of reminder to review the notification setitngs

              malmon ohhhh my bad i thought you meant notification emails. yeah that'd be good to add, will add to my list.

                clare I think community is easier on forums. i think that's a valid reason anyway

                edit: easier in these of as a whole I guess. i get it's easier to just join a server. do you know what i mean? idk if im explaining myself

                    COUPLED yeah i kinda get it. its easy to start and join servers on disc but for them to feel like a community is kinda hard.

                        COUPLED should be a lot easier to add something like this again and have it not suck with the new backend :>

                            DMs have been reworked into a live chat in the bottom right corner of your screen.

                            we had something similar aaaages ago back on MyBB, and i loved being able to instantly welcome new members and start chatting. not really sure why i removed it tbh.

                            the thread list has also been redesigned. it now shows an avatar for the person that last replied instead of whoever posted the thread

                            ty to @COUPLED & @malmon for the suggestions

                            more coming soon :>

                            have any feedback or ideas? let me know!

                            Maybe the site needs something to force a refresh when any significant changes have been made. Like none of this stuff showed up for me until I hit F5, whereas normally I'd click on the banner.

                              there is a new anime section (powered by myanimelist).

                              with it you can track anime (or sync it from another service: MAL, kitsu, or anilist), or start discussions that are linked to the anime/or individual epsiodes.

                              you can now set up desktop notifications (under settings), these can be turned on for either new DMs or new notifications.

                              there's a few background changes that are less noticeable:

                              • the site will now detect when you're on an older version of the CSS or JS and refresh accordingly
                              • categories page now has some styling, it was a mess before
                              • some seo stuff
                              • some server settings changed so that assets load quicker.
