Best Marri and Best Throne <33333

-- Edit: Is the Site Testing board necessary anymore? Most discussion is happening here and other than the Spam This thread nothing has been posted there since April and having that in my list of threads is Unaesthetic.

[Marri]

I personally do not think so and would be happy to vanish it, but once upon a time people had requested it stay (there's a few testing threads that are done in character, I think) so I would appreciate others chiming in :)

I made a Patreon! It is very basic because I do not really know how this works. But it lives here https://patreon.com/user?u=4240260. If any of my previous donors wish to submit requests a la "get your features prioritized" now that that's an option, I will not retroactively deprive you, please just ping me.

More things!

- You can mark a post as Permanently Abandoned
- You can sort the facecast page by author
- Throne added an option for timestamps that include seconds in your account settings
- Throne updated the README and the database seeds for the codebase
- Throne updated the AJAX image picker to be cleaner
- Patreon link is up
- If you delete a Continuity and it still contains posts, rather than leave those posts in a black hole of "what continuity is this???" it now moves all the posts to Sandboxes

Next up: icon stats for Throne as a thank you for helping Kappa, Pedro and Aestrix sort out their newly scraped threads before I woke up, and then replace icon/character within specific posts as a thank you for my first Patreon supporter.

Also I plan to update the default layout to the Starry Light theme, also as a Patreon thank you, so heads up that's on the roadmap; you'll still be able to change it from your account if you prefer the existing default (which I will probably call Effulgence since it was green/purple themed intentionally and I have no better ideas) but just swapping the two spreadsheets would uh. Kinda put the star header onto everything xD So going a bit slower on that one.

@whatever anonymous person requested the "click a reply permalink and have the pagination start from there": that's actually weirdly technically complicated! Cause it complicates pagination like you would not believe. (There's a reason Dreamwidth only has it for threaded posts.) I think 'next page' is reasonably straightforwards, 'previous page' is a time bomb waiting to happen, and I'd have to detangle all my current post code from assuming I'm using the beautiful pagination library that definitely does not support the thing. I won't remove it from the to do list outright, I'm sure I can figure it out someday, but unless something changes it's probably staying lower down the To Do list.

Awesome, thanks for the Patreon. I kept meaning to PayPal and then forgetting; now I won't have that problem!

[Marri]

Oy, pushing to site did not work from plane! The above are done and will be released in two hours when I'm home from the airport xD

[Marri]

Things previously mentioned are up, along with a case-insensitive fix for the sorting on the Facecasts page (it was case-sensitive before).

You are welcome, and thank you for contributing! <3 I will as requested attempt to get back into glowficcing :)

<3 Thank you Marri

I think abandoned threads should disappear from the Tags Owed page just like completed ones, what do other people think?

[Throne3d]

Agreed.

(And an option to filter hiatused threads out of Tags Owed, that'd still be nice, since sometimes I don't have any plans to reboot and right now can just forget about it.)

[Kappa]

Yeah, having hiatused threads be (optionally?) their own separate tab or something in Tags Owed would be v. good.
