Also it's illegal to share DMs

not true

The release of other user’s personal information, including full names, addresses, social media accounts, images, private messages, etc. without their consent is not tolerated. Doing so will lead to the information being edited out and bans being applied.

One thing I haven't brought up, you seem to be putting most of your focus on mobile so far. How are things looking for desktop?

Haven't even touched it yet tbh. I'm of the philosophy of progressive enhancement, so as soon as I get a few more mobile screens finished and have a general "feel" of the UI, I'll slug through desktop.

I'm open to ideas if you have some suggestions ahead of time. I know one of the criticisms is that the forum has a lot of wasted space on the side, which is something I do want to address. The other major thing is if we'll have a sidebar in forum view. If so, what will it be?

Hi everybody! It might be a shock, but Septagon 3.0 is something I'm actually making progress on after like 4 years. So, I posted these comps in the Discord channel for development, but I know a lot of you guys don't really participate in it (understandable), so I wanted to make a thread here to get some extra feedback.

The original concept was this:

Nuka pointed out it looks a LOT like B.next. And it does. I kind of naturally...fell into that trend as I designed it so that the focus could be on content, but I do understand the draw to the old way of doing things. After some discussion, I think the best thing to do would be to have the above as the default style for new users and guests, and then have a simple toggle in settings that will let you theme the site with the older style in mind.

Here's what that might look like:

New ranking changes are as follows:

• On the new style, only staff and special ranks are given colored labels. Normal ranks would look the same but would read differently. The highest rank, Mythic or Marty, would get to be a colored label, to show off.
• Users would get both a cumulative rank (level) based on posts, activity, liked posts, ban count, etc. over time. This would only go up. Users would also be ranked relatively against each other for their Heroic, Legendary, Mythic, etc.
• If you use the old style, the nameplates would behave similarly to how they do now, with the background color matching your rank (Legendary, Mythic, etc.).

Lemme know your thoughts here. Would the majority of you be OK with the default theme being the new style as long as you could toggle on the old style from settings? Coup would be an additional option on top of this, so you could have both enabled.

Higher quality videos of these comps are in the discord server.

The Anker Powercores are pretty good

thats the kind that went out lol.

How long did it last?
Those have pretty much been the only ones I use and they work fine for me

About 8 months.

My portable charger / power bank is not charging my iPad / MacBook anymore and I’m looking to get a new one. Anybody have one that you can recommend? Price isn’t a huge factor, but ideally I’d like to keep it under $100 if possible.

When is the update?

Late this year or early next, hopefully. Lots still to do.

Change email service is finished, which was actually more challenging than I thought, since the site needs to keep BOTH emails until you've verified the new one (so you don't get locked out).

I'm 1/3 through password / account recovery, which is another medium-sized service.

Would be good to have Youtube videos only load when corresponding Youtube spoiler tag is open (if such thing will still exist in 3.0). Same for images in spoilers. Now I request that, but I have no idea how hard it is and API might just handle it automatically.

This is something that is pretty easy, thankfully. Also a detail I had planned too. Images will be lazy loaded so they come in at the last second and YT vids won’t load their iframe until a user interacts with them.

webm and mp4 support or you have big gay

Yes. HTML5 video is something I plan to support.

Oh yeah, direct youtube URLs don't work for some reason.

#Invalid YouTube Link#

youtu.be links don't work you mean, a direct link would be youtube.com/watch?v=___
alternatively, you don't really even need the link at all

obverse:

YouTube

Code: [Select]

I'm open to suggestions here. Everything will need to be developed again, so a lot of features that weren't possible before will be possible now. I DO plan on using markdown instead of BBCode, since it's a lot easier to work with on a phone than typing out long encapsulation tags.

What that will mean is that YouTube and other embeddable "things" like soundcloud, Vimeo, etc. could just be rendered as embeds on the front end and all users would need to do is type the URL (the app would figure it out).

Lol

Email auth / verification is done from the API side. Work will need to be done once I have a front-end to link to via the email (right now it just sends the code).
