New Forum System

[Arrow768]

As most of you probably noticed we changed our forum system.
All Users, Topics, Posts as well as private messages have been migrated.
 

Design
The design you see here is not final.
It is just the default design the forum system came with.
Over the coming weeks it will be replaced with a more suitable design.

 

New Features
The new Forum System has quite a few new features.
However I had to disable quite a few of them following immediate abuse by certain community members.
These Features will most likely be reactivated over the coming weeks with misuse resulting in warnings.

 

External Services
Our Wiki and our Web Interface relied heavily on the Forums for certain features.
The Wiki has already been changed and it is possible to login with your forum username.

The WI is still using the old forum database (you will be able to log into the WI with your old username/password).
In the coming days it will be changed aswell.

 

New Services
The new forum system has certain capabilities that the old one does not have, therefore enabling us to provide new services to you.
Some of those should be ready in the next weeks / months.

give us the leaderboard back!!

[UnknownMurder]

No. People abused it the moment forum was ready for public use. We can serve a time out for it. Leaderboard is not a big deal otherwise people can be very dramatic about it.

Please remove the horrible timer that blocks us from editing our posts after like 3 minutes.  Please, please, please.  This is awful and I hate it.

It would also be nice to be able to delete my own posts again.

I would really really really like to be able to edit posts again. I went to go update my character story and discovered I can't edit the posts which contain the actual story. (also, CCIA business requires post editing in the CCIA forums.)

I want to die on the inside, but can't express it any other way.

Adding my sentiments to the above by Kaed, Butter and Mofo, just in case they happen to matter more here than they have previously in Discord or in the staff subforum. We should be able to edit our own posts. If there are any forums where that would be a bad idea, let's let admins write rules for it and require attention be paid to timestamps and edit reasons, rather than just turning it off.

Correcting typos and wording, like you do when you edit

Finally had the time to read through a bit more of the docs and figure out how to enable the edit history.

Its now possible to edit the posts again.
