I rebuilt the forum and did other stuff! Here’s some updates:
Cool thing: Groups
You can now join various fun groups at the group page!
Right now, we have three new groups you can join: Toki Pona speakers, Toaq speakers, and Lojban speakers. These are just vanity groups that also can be mentioned/pinged in posts or messaged directly by the respective category moderators.
I might add more groups in the future for fun stuff!
Important fixes
- Passkeys are now functional. You can use a passkey to log in! You can use a physical key, your phone, your password manager, or your computer (like Windows) instead of your password when logging in. It’s more secure than a password!
- I added some custom CSS to satisfy a request from @luna. It hopefully fixes whitespace issues in posts.
- Internal SSL should be working now and HTTPS is forced across the website. This was mostly a headache for me.
Staff changes
@zearen has been promoted to an admin and we’re working to bring the bus factor to two rather than just one (me). Thanks to Zearen to being amazing!
Other
- Badges have been disabled. I didn’t really like the gamification by default it was encouraging because I think it’s kind of dishonest. If I was to bring it back, I’d use it for different purposes.
