I was voting to have you ousted. Β  Guess I was overruled by the new overlords. Β They probably picked wisely... Welcome back everyone. Β I really like that we have a mobile format, since that’s where I do 80% of my postingΒ  Edited by justicebeliever

Just for clarity, how does one earn Reputation/"The Artist Formerly Known as Inf"? I thought it would be the Like/Reaction button, but doesn't seem to be the case.

Yeah, I'm curious about this as well, I thought it'd be the little green cross under your name, but that seem to just take you to the person's profile. Maybe reputation giving is turned off right now, and they just transferred the old karma from the SMF boards as a starting point before turning it on here?

Hm... mine just went up 1, so maybe it IS the Like button, but only when you give a Like? I tested earlier giving someone a Thanks and that didn't seem to change it. Or maybe there's just a delay.

I'll tell you one thing, I sure as heck am NOT digging this:

I think the addition of reactions is a FANTASTIC addition to our forum community. It let's people "say" something quickly without having to actually make a post. Limiting this is a hindrance, I think.

Yeah, what's that about? Maybe something about the new software making it impossible to set up new game accounts?

I do SecDevOps for a living, I am wondering the same.

It sounds like the lever they use to make accounts cannot be tickled by the new forum code...as in it is not 'allowed' to execute the script or something like that.

Could be backgroud reasons, but this seems to be the big one.

Would be happy to help, but I think they have a lot of cooks in the kitchen...

The account system is actually working totally fine; the problem is actually that emails aren't getting sent out for new forums accounts which I haven't fixed yet because there is a high likelyhood that we'll be migrating back to SMF today and we'd rather not allow new accounts until a decision is made.

If you need help, please submit a support request here or use /petition in-game.

Cool.

That makes it sound more like a product choice than a technical issue. πŸ™‚Β

Yep, that's exactly what we're deciding on at the moment; there are a lot of factors to consider so we'll be talking about it and taking action ASAP.

There are serious technical issues with SMF 2.0.Β  The most serious are that it uses an old, seriously outdated password hashing function, it has very low spam protection, doesn't support two-factor authentication outside of the box, and doesn't recognize IPv6 at all when more and more of the Internet is moving to it as IPv4 is at a dead-end.Β  Then there's the issue with newer versions of PHP in that it only works up to version 7.1, which reaches the end of life in just five months.

I strongly, strongly recommend that if y'all decide to revert to SMF, please use SMF 2.1 RC 2 because at some point soon, y'all will have to move away from SMF 2.0.
