Sorry about the "Privacy Error" - There was an issue with an update and it took a bit to get it fixed.

There was nothing "wrong" with the site, just a certificate issue. Carry on as normal. :)

Thanks so much for the work you put in to keep this place running smoothly

Nope.

That was a total failure.

So, apparently, I can only implement reCAPTCHA stuff with a v2 key infrastructure. Well, v2 keys can't be created anymore, only v3. There may be a way I can enable it site-wide rather than on-call for registration, but I think I'd need some help to achieve that.

If anyone understands what to do, reach out to me. For the time being, it's back to the old way and denying 4+ bots a day, I guess.

Site Rules, News, and Suggestions / [Community] General site usage tips!
« Last post by Furry-Sneezes on November 12, 2022, 07:53:49 pm »
Hey, I just wanted to take a little time to give some advice on using this forum. Two big things to help make it more useful are:

1. "Show unread posts" - This feature lets you see all of the topics since your last visit with any new posts on them, all on one page. To use it, look in the top right, just above the Search Forum field. "Show unread posts since last visit." will take you to a page with the list of topics. From here, I often open each page in a new window.

2. "Mark Read" - You don't need to view every topic, and chances are that you didn't! If you've got red notification icons in the various subforums, you can regain the usability of that feature by clicking "MARK READ". This can be found in the top right of the white portion of the screen after clicking into a subforum.

Does anyone else have other usability advice? Things they do to make their visits useful and efficient that they've picked up over the years?

Oh. Hey guys. Look. I did an update! A real update!! It took me like, an hour or so to figure all this stuff out and I'm still not entirely sure I got it to work right, but I'm trying!!! :P

Meta aside...

Profile fields for AIM / Yahoo / MSN have been retired and disabled. While there may be people out there who actually use them for contacting a few people, they have become glitchy and problematic as well as being a rather strange thing to ask about on registration. As such, they no longer exist. Skype's still there though.

In addition, I added in a field for Discord ID! There's no "Add this person" type hyperlink command for Discord, as far as I know. You can do that for servers but not for people. So instead, I'm having it display the text so you can copy it. How so? Look left! I'll leave the test I did in my profile for a little while so you can see how it looks with Skype and Discord there. I even added an extra space so that it's easy to copy!

Other tweaks include a bit of clarification on Fursona and a reduction of the number of allowed characters for that field. It's equivalent to 'favorite animal', guys. :P Keep it simple, okay? Aside from that, I did a bit of re-ordering with the other fields but nothing major.

I'll refrain from sending out a site-wide notification email for this, but if you are friends with anyone who visits casually that you talk to on Discord, let them know it's now something you can add into your profile here.

Follow-up, they wrote back and said there have been no issues since I did that. I may try to re-enable things one little bit at a time, with rather conservative settings. I'm not sure what I can tweak yet, but I'll at least make an attempt at getting it turned back on. No clue if it was chat or gallery though.

Site Rules, News, and Suggestions / [Announcement] Site Updated. Sort of.

I was starting to get random weird database emails again. As a result, I ran a few of the backlogged website updates. This has caused all users to be logged out. Sorry about that, but it can't be helped.

Also, I'm kind of stuck. The next update breaks a lot of my mods. Potentially. And I kind of forgot how to run/reset all of that. It looks like it will be a pain. Yasl helped me before, but I don't know if he's still around. And I definitely do not run a big enough operation to get a professional coder...

Hopefully it'll be fine for now, but... if someone can help, reach out to me. I'm anxious and getting old but I still want to keep this place alive and functional...

Just a halfway-through-the-year reminder that even as a mostly-dead archive site, the powers that be still say they have bills to pay. If you enjoy the site and still make use of it, please consider donating. Sorry for being a meh admin. If there was someone responsible enough out there to fill these shoes, I would gladly pass the torch.
