FORUM UPDATES

Two complaints:
  • I'll admit, I didn't notice whether this site used encryption before or not, but it definitely doesn't now. Gives an error if you use https.
  • This software doesn't seem to provide RSS feeds on individual subforums or threads, so now I have to manually check my bookmarks to keep up with new releases or progress updates on my favorite in-development games.
While I'm here, I might as well request a separate forum for completed games going forward, as it's not always clear whether a game is released or just a demo.

Which I guess means all of the links in old posts pointing to even older posts will be broken :\
I'm trying to figure out a solution for this but due to the difference in url structure between the old and new platforms its proving to be a bit difficult.

I'm going to see if i can come up with some sort of hack.

Also, dark theme is still coming, hopefully in the next day or so. Got super swamped with both of my businesses this weekend.

HTTPS is on my todo list. I ran into a complication when switching platforms but that should be knocked out this week.

I believe there is a way to enable rss or something similar. Let me do some digging.

I think I have successfully forced HTTPS but there might be a couple tweaks I need to make.

Also there is a dark theme selected be default now when you visit the forum. If it is not defaulted for you, select shades of gray at the bottom of the page after clicking the default theme link.

Going to flip the switch back off for https until I can resolve a certificate error we are encountering.

I believe I have fixed the broken links from the old platform if anyone wants to give them a whirl. The few I tested in people's signatures seem to be redirecting properly now.

HTTPS force is also reimplemented.

Last update for the morning (What day is it?!)

I just did some server side IP banning of ranges that appeared to be hitting us super hard with "guest" activity.

Are pinned messages not a feature of the forum update anymore? Or was it just reset and nobody went back and re-pinned them? It was really helpful to keep some of the more important information and documentation pinned in each section. Some of that stuff is buried under dozens of posts now.

Oh, you're right, I didn't see the pinned topics from the older forum are not pinned here anymore.
I will try to find some of them an re-pin them

If you have suggestions (topics to be pinned, link them here, I will pin them )

The ignore feature you added.. or was that always there and I never noticed it before. Anyhow, I thought it was a good idea.
