We made it! After 26 hours of downtime, the site upgrade is complete.
Welcome to the rebuild of the RP Repository, and the fruits of the labors of Operation Audacious Phoenix!Every feature the site has ever had has been rebuilt from the ground up in an effort to modernize, improve, and prepare us for bigger and better things in the future.
Over the coming weeks I'll be posting a series of new feature spotlights, but just to give you a little taste, here's some things to try out:- You can compose character and group profiles using columns and rows. Translation: YOU CAN DRAG MULTIPLE WIDGETS NEXT TO EACH OTHER
- Check out the rebuilt Find RP section. I'm not even going to explain what's new to you... I'll let it do that.
- Want a dark mode for the site? A high contrast minimalist mode? We've got those now! Go adjust your display settings
- IC/OOC views for IC forum topics on the public forums, in group forums, and in private messages (when you mark them as IC)!
There are literally hundreds of other improvements and expansions, so go explore and find them.
Of course, the fact that everything has been rebuilt also means it's possible that any of those things (see above re: everything) could have been broken or had a new bug introduced in the process of recreating it.
If you find something wrong, or even something you THINK might be wrong but aren't sure about, please submit a bug report right away. If for some reason you aren't able to use the bug report form, you can email me at admin@rprepository.com
Please bear with me, I am still running around working to re-enable push notifications, rewrite the help database, and deal with the unexpected lag problem -- but I absolutely MUST get some sleep right now.I want to thank each and every one of you for your incredible support, both emotional and financial, through this year-long process of re-writing the site. Thank you also for your patience as this upgrade process took place. I wouldn't want to go through a process like this with any other community, but you make it all worth it.
P.S. I'm planning to kick off FOBETEO this Friday, to give everyone a chance to settle in a bit.
