Are you guys still thinking about ways to generate content aside from forum posts? I feel like I'd like to contribute in some way, though I'm not sure how exactly.
By J-Twelve Go To PostAre you guys still thinking about ways to generate content aside from forum posts? I feel like I'd like to contribute in some way, though I'm not sure how exactly.There is but we haven't outlined what that will be. Priority right now is to grow the userbase and instill an ethos of quality content (or as much as possible). Little features like promoted threads will play into idea, and new features in the future will help with that.
The question right now is really when and how.
I dunno if it's just me but Slaent seems to have slowed down a bit recently. Pages seem to be taking longer than normal to load, 5-6 seconds rather than 1-2.
It's definitely not my connection because all other sites are normal.
Edit: had a few times where its taken up to 20 seconds to load a page...
Edit2: yeah, sometimes the site just completely fails to load. Something's wrong :S

There's a couple of issues at play:
1) There have been issues with third party modules like reCAPTCHA that has gone sideways even though it's hosted by Google.
2) We are hosting the database on our new server and the site code on the old server. That has introduced some lag but I'll be fixing that this weekend by migrating to the new server. That might take a few days to propagate because we also need to change where our DNS points to, but that means we won't lose any up time by migrating the database early.

Servers switched. Not sure how long it's gonna take to propagate, but you should see an immediate speed improvement once it does. Let me know if you run into any issues after it switches.
I think Firefox is pointing to the old IP then. Restart FF, clear your cache, etc. It will eventually resolve itself.
I have a feeling the answer is no, but I'll ask anyway: Have you given any thought to allowing HTML editing in posts?
By J-Twelve Go To PostI have a feeling the answer is no, but I'll ask anyway: Have you given any thought to allowing HTML editing in posts?I worked on a true WYSIWYG editor but it was pretty buggy. I put it on hold for now but will take a stab at it sometime in the future again. Using a good one will allow us to extend it in various ways and allow users to modify their post layout within out styleguides, which will be my ultimate goal. Although, I think I would reserve those type of features for the OP.
Is there a way for quotes to be highlighted when they are your own?
I haven't found a specific enough tag in the source for adding it to my theme yet. Is there something on the backend/frontend that could handle that?

Just curious why did you choose a circle shape for the avatars? A lot of images get cut off because of this. :(
Can you switch to square shaped ones?

By Shun Go To PostIs it just me or is the SL&ENT logo is basically Uniqlo's international logo?We don't have a logo, the favicon is something a user decided to do on their free time so I used it for an interim. I have several logo ideas in mind but I gotta knock out more pressing issues first.
A better way to multi-quote would be very nice :-(
Don't want to compare, but obviously the way neogaf handles it is great.

I like round avatars, it's more unique.
Well, hurry up, I want to print a sla&nt teeshirt to impress the ladies

the entire UI was in chinese just now.. is slaent being sold? i for one welcome our new chinese overlords.
I don't understand. Can someone capture it? Is it your browser translating the site because of an ad?
it was on mobile android.
hard to capture it's really just for a second and i dunno how to reproduce it.

Any way to prevent getting giant text on my phone in landscape? Much less content than in portrait :(
Bigger. Much bigger. I'll screenshot and update this post.

That actually is the same font size, it just looks larger because the menu is rendered smaller for some reason :|
I need to do an entire pass on landscape mode and tablet mode. So I'll remember to tackle the font-sizing issues.

I think you're being fooled by the scale you're seeing the pics in reilo. The menu here seems to be rendered at exactly the same size.
But the font, in landscape, in a mammoth 5.5" (that's what she said) seems straight up gigantic.

I'll leave you to it anyway.

Just a great experience while hanging out here on desktop or mobile.

By reilo Go To PostThanks Granadear.ayyyy
is there any reason why logging in takes me to my profile and not just back to the page i was already on?
By bud Go To Postis there any reason why logging in takes me to my profile and not just back to the page i was already on?The reason being that I need to add a proper redirect, shouldn't be difficult to do. I think I can get to it today.
Did quotes always have */thread/***/page/**/#p***" in the tag? Laying out the framework for quote highlighting?
By Granadier Go To PostDid quotes always have */thread/***/page/**/#p***" in the tag? Laying out the framework for quote highlighting?Quote highlighting is pretty trivial and we can definitely do it quite easy.

By bud Go To Postthat'd be grand.
Update on Private Messages:
Core functionality is in place. The security piece (making sure that messages don't accidentally show up to the rest of the forum) was the trickiest part to overcome. What "core" functionality means is the following:
1) You can send a single messages to multiple users (probably gonna limit it to up to 3-5 somewhere)
2) The message will show up both in the sender's inbox and the recipients' inbox
3) The messages will be a stream similar to a thread and each user that has been added to the original message can respond
Things left to do:
1) Ability to mark a message as archived
2) A simple UI marker that shows you have an unread message
3) Ability to search usernames when writing a message so you don't have to guess
4) UX/UI clean-up
The system, as I ultimately envision, will be less like an email Inbox and more like a group chat.
