As you well can tell, the forums are now back in operating condition.
Most of the changes are minor stuff, though obviously you guys note the Articles tab is now gone (until we actually begin using them, anyway...), that the Activity Ticker is now the default mainpage, and that there's now a doublepost prevention in place - any back-to-back posts within 10 minutes or so (for now) will be merged. Values will be changed if we see people beginning to wait 11 minutes or whatever so they can keep doubleposting.
Fire away with the comments, questions, or wishes to marry me and have my babies.

Changed tab arrangement; made Forums the default tab now (so now, going to forums.nrvnqsr.com should kick you right to the forums once more).

One really annoying thing, though: can you make profile links default to visitor messages, instead of user activity stuff? I doubt a whole lot of people are going to visit a person's profile for that, and it'll always be secondary to visitor messages.

[11:20:46 AM] GlowStiks: lucina is supes attractive
[12:40] Lace: lucina is amazing
[12:40] Neir: lucina is pretty much flawless
Not so sure about that, but I'll look into it. I've found how to rearrange the tabs, but not how to make that tab the default just yet.
EDIT: Done, but to do it, you made me have to write a plugin AND edit a template. You'd better be goddamn happy.
If not, I'll teach you to be happy. I'll teach your grandmother to suck eggs.

I'm not that kind of exhibitionist. We can always go to a bedroom.

there's now a doublepost prevention in place - any back-to-back posts within 10 minutes or so (for now) will be merged. Values will be changed if we see people beginning to wait 11 minutes or whatever so they can keep doubleposting.
Well, there are some instances where double-posting is actually necessary (for example, posting story chapters), albeit not generally within 10 minutes, so you should be careful about that. Also, what would happen if the combined posts were too long to fit into a single post (which would be the one occasion I could see good reason for double-posting in short order, although it's hard to see why that would be the case in the forum)? Also, does the new post get the timestamp of the first one, or the second one? Because sometimes a post edit will get missed due to everyone having already read the post, and if it's important enough then that might be why the person double-posted.
I honestly dislike the "My Activity" addition...is there some way to change the settings to only allow friends to see it or something?
The "What's New?" changing the way it did also bugs me...
On the same vein as mike, will merged doubleposts still bump the thread/show there's new content? Particularly for RPs when announcements are made.

You can't be that kind of careful with machine-enforced systems. They work on their own.
In general, you can trust the developers to not be idiots, anyways. If they really need to double post, they can wait 10min.

Well, yes, which is why I'm not sure about "machine-enforced systems" in general.
In general, you can trust the developers to not be idiots, anyways. If they really need to double post, they can wait 10min.
That's not always true, though, particularly if you're posting large amounts of material (e.g. fic chapters). I don't think it's reasonable to just expect everyone to wait 10 minutes in all circumstances.
