Welcome back, everyone!
That update took a teensyenormous bit longer than we anticipated but it's finally over! All five million private messages and over five hundred thousand post likes, loves, and rainbows we have managed to get the entire forum moved over and put into this shiny new body. Iwaku is looking sleek and has a myriad of changes alongside it.
If you want to know more about some things that we are aware aren't working correctly (or to see if a problem you're having is already a known issue / report a new issue with the forum), please head over to the new Bug Reports Thread.
A brief rundown of some of the major changes:
• Search Function
SEARCH IS WORKING AGAIN, PRAISE BE.
• Style Editor
No, we don't understand why they took this away either. The admins are also upset and confused but they did. We're trying to find alternatives that play nicely with our addons but for now, Diana is going to cook you up some nice styles so that you can still have some different colors. Also Clown Fiesta.
• Reactions
This feature has been made even fancier than before! It also gave us the ability to make special roleplay-only reactions! Test them out, they should give you a handful of new ways to show your partners appreciation.
• Thread bumping
Still looking for a reputable vendor for a replacement to this one too. Trust us, it's on the list! We also love these things and are doing our best to get them back.
• Inbox Conversations
You can search in your private messages now! A huge improvement. You can also sort them by category and have a private message with just yourself!
• Advertising banners
They're still here! But they have a weird error right now. Never fear: Diana, sleuth supreme, is on the case.
• Coding
Some of the BBCodes that you know and love might be missing. Diana is working on trying to get a fix in place for this. There are also NEW bbcodes to discover and play with!
• Post Editor
Rather than requiring an overlay or to move to a new page, editing and previewing posts is now seamless with the new post editor.
• Hovering is magic
By hovering over a thread title from the listing in a section, you can now see a preview (that even reflects bbcode!) of the thread. You can hover over member names to see a little popup of their member card, too!
• Collaborative threads
Have a buddy that you want to make it official with? Yeah, now you can show the world that they are your co-GM (and also give them some thread owner permissions when it comes to editing and such!)
• Attachments
I want to take a moment to let you know about another change to the Conversation system so that you can be informed about privacy: attachments in private messages are now part of a collective site-wide attachment database that only the admins have access to. Like private messages, we do not intend to go through your attachments unless necessitated for a legal concern (adults making sexual advances towards minors, for example) but this is just to let you know that this is now something that exists. To read more about privacy policies, click here.
Phew, that's one huge list. There are even more changes but this should hopefully let you know about the biggest ones and give you some idea of what cool new things are available. Thanks for being patient with the extended down time! I hope that you enjoy exploring all the new features and are excited to be able to get back to writing now!
