We changed the format of URLs for, e.g., games and threads. These changes affect Google placement. Google hasn't been kind to us, and that's our fault. We're making attenpts to fix this.

We've tested this in dev, and we'll be watching closely.

Thanks for your support.

The site now has simpler pages and better navigation to support that. Some icons (like on the game lists) are bigger so that it's earier to see and click. The site should look better on mobile devices, but everything should still work well.

Please continue to give feedback, good and bad, in the forums. Thank you all!

We are preparing for upgrades to the site. These are to improve load times and performance stability, but will also impact the layout of the home screen. Once the upgrades go live, your experience should not be interrupted. Boards and characters will also not be impacted by these uogrades.

We fixed a few bugs related to missing portraits. If your player had no portrait selected (which is most common in players imported from the legacy site), then sometimes posts didn't show up. This is supposed to fix that issue.

\n

Also, the mail page wouldn't load for some users due to.cookie issues. This was fixed.

\n

As always, thank for reporting these types of thing in the forums. Enjoy!

We added portrait uploads! On the Player screen, in the Portrait dialog, there's an \"Upload\" button. Click that and you can select a category and image. You can then upload the image, and it will be assigned to your Player! Others can select that image, too.

\n

As a safety measure, the Player detail box in each game now has a \"Report Portrait\" link at the very bottom. If you click that, somebody will review the portrait. Let's keep these images safe!

\n

Thanks for the feature request and for all the hard work. Keep gaming!

There was a request to add some specific dice to the dice roller on the game post screen. This might not be graphically complete, but it works. The dice are similar to, but not exacly identical to, to a Star Wars game system that you might have heard of. It's certainly not a direct rip-off of that dice system; it's an homage. Please don't take legal action.

Today we added image uploads for posts. There's a new button in the editor toolbar that will upload a picture from your computer or phone.

\n

There's also a little feature that fills in the post title if you don't enter one. It's minor, but it was requested.

\n

Keep up the suggestions in the forums. Thanks!

Today we added a button on the game page to export the game to markdown. It can be used to back up a game or format it for printing. I'm sure you can come up with other uses for it, too.

Thanks!
