Patch 1.3
12th November 2018
Changes

Added ability to choose an icon when starting a new topic, to give some more flavour to the topic list on each forum:

images/achievements/topicicon.png

Added coloured prefixes for guides and loot section to improve readability/type of topic

Added an ‘Info’ section where site-specific news, updates etc. will be posted from now on

Split and moved each site update post into an individual topic in ‘Info’ section and unlocked all so that people can give feedback on each patch individually

Changed welcome banner for guests, gives a short and sweet meta description for Google:

Styled the cursor to look like in-game, just for fun!

Guests can now submit new topics instead of just replies

Guests can now see latest profile viewers on profile pages

Mobile - font-size and line height increased slightly in many areas to improve readability on small smartphone screens

Increased the number of posts visible on each page

Increased the number of topics visible on each page

Added three new profile backgrounds: Warsong Gulch, Arathi Basin and Alterac Valley

Who is online page now provides more detailed information

Further search engine optimisations made, including meta description generation and defaults for JSON pulls

Made an alternative logo (seen top) for social embedding when no image on page is available

Bug fixes

Mobile ‘green unread triangle’ appearing in top right of unread posts whilst on desktop fixed

Font colour not working sometimes - stopped asynchronous loading of JS - should be fixed

Text and images overflowing out of preview box fixed

Links beginning a new line in posts on mobile fixed

Rogue footer elements appearing out of position on profile page fixed

Enter email redundant styling on guest posting page fixed

Forgot password page redundant styling fixed

Fixed vertical scrollbar issue on latest profile viewers section

CSS versioning updated, hopefully you won’t have to refresh your browser to see changes from now on

And that’s all for 1.3, hope you enjoy the changes. As usual if you find any new bugs please do let me know in the Bug Reports thread and if you have any feedback feel free to leave it in this topic!

PS You shouldn't have to refresh your cache - if you are still seeing old/broken stuff, please let me know in bug reports exactly which bit of the page isn't loaded yet so I can work on the versioning for that particular thing so it doens't happen next time.

your boy,

Added an ‘Info’ section where site-specific news, updates etc. will be posted from now on
When i try to see that section it shows "The forum you selected does not exist.". But if i try as Guest it works fine.

The site info section is a welcome addition!

Can we get some more profile customisation stuff next patch? Like maybe favourite class etc?

1.3.1
16th November 2018
Changes

Removed in-game cursor styling, some Windows browser versions don’t support transparent BG on the cursor styling in most browsers so it ends up looking pretty rough.. also it flicks between default and styled so I don’t like it. Was fun for a bit though! :)

Credits page updated to reflect recent changes and extensions in use

Added rich-content structured data cards for Google, will have to wait until they index it to see results

Bug fixes

Fixed styling bug on mobile version of Horde skin when viewing a Guide, Loot or Info-type topic the topic prefix would appear on a new line

Moderator control panel link in dropdown now links to forum-specific mod panel when on that forum page (like it should)

Quick reply box was showing up same size as full editor, downscaled it just a bit.
