Hallo heroes and heroines!

Before leaving feedback by opening a new thread in the Site Feedback sub-forum, please consult the lists in this post to see if the feedback you would like to leave has already been left.

Following Won's observation that a megathread may not be the best way to gather feedback, we opened this Site Feedback sub-forum to start to organise the feedback a little better. Same process as before except that, instead of posting a reply to a thread, we open a new thread in the sub-forum. In addition, until we have the ability to close or move threads between (sub-)forums, or until we open up the GitLab Issues list to public access, the lists in this post aim to be the place to look before reporting a bug / requesting a feature to see if it has already been reported. Once the new moderation tools arrive or we move to the GitLab Issues, this list will be superseded by them.

Preferred report format:
Page URL:
Description of issue:
Browser + version: (e.g. Firefox 41 or Chrome Canary or IE 5.5)
Screenshot(s):

So, why no visible bug fixes from me the past few days?

Well, I've set up a development environment for ChronalDragon and Miblo to use that's closer to the live environment.

Other than that I'm rewriting some of the backend code to pay off some technical debt in order to make fixing some of the bugs and adding some of the features less involved.

That's it. I've temporarily reassigned myself to some cruft-removal in order to speed things up down the line.

Well, a lot of bugs fixed in the past few days. Some woefully overdue, thanks to ^ the refactoring efforts in another branch of the code and some other reasons. Anyway, a blog post on the history of the site development and its up and downs will go up after the beta and it's getting closer by the day. :)

Thanks very much for all the effort reporting things as well as your patience.

I've just added a new feature to the website: post preview.

Whether you're writing a new blog or forum post, or are replying, commenting, or editing an existing post, preview will be available.
If you quote or edit a post, it'll even start you off with the appropriate preview without having to press another button.
