Website/other Changelog

[SaintLuther]

You've made the website worse by removing forums.  Why did you do it?

What are you talking about?

@Demonik1 it seems we are no longer members, considering we can't see the Members Chat

[SaintLuther]

This is very weird. It seems to only be taking permissions from your primary group (Premium Donator) and ignoring your secondary group (Member) which is where you got forums permissions from. I've put a bandaid fix in which duplicated permissions from the Member group to the donator groups, but I'll try to find a real fix.

9/25/21 - Chat Login Improvement

The login method for Chat has been improved to use the newly implemented CP OAuth system. The old iframe-style login method has been removed.

This only applies when directly connecting to the Chat website via browser or mobile.

This method fixes the mobile login experience which was previously quite finicky.

Also, a new logo has been added.

Update to last update:

By using a subdomain of the forums for the embedded chat, the requirement to allow third-party cookies is no longer required.
This workaround was first needed on Brave, but many other browsers have started restricting third-party cookies including Edge.

Update to the update to last update:

While the subdomain workaround fixed one problem, it created another where quotes did not work from the embedded chat. This has been resolved by changing the primary URL of Chat to chat.lennyfacegaming.org. chat.lfgs.co will not redirect to the new URL. If you had chat configured on your phone, you will need to logout (or just clear the app's cache) and sign in using the new URL.

10/23/21 - More Login Improvements

Following the change to the way you login to chat, all other LFGS websites (excluding the forums) have been updated to use the new system. Web Admin and /u had the most extensive changes made to accommodate the update, while the others were simpler.

The only breaking change caused by this update is for people using the ShareX custom uploader for /u. You will need to delete your old configuration and import the new one following the updated guide.

10/26/21 - Forums Update

The forums have been updated to the latest version. This version includes a fix introduced by the previous version which broke permissions. There are a few dozen other minor fixes and improvements. Post any bugs you may find here.

11/14/21 - Chat Update

The long awaited ability to upload files directly to Chat has been added. This functionality has been added for any picture, video, or audio file. You can upload a file by selecting the "+" to the right of the message field, or by dragging and dropping. Once the file is uploaded, a bot will move the file from Chat to /u and repost the message with the new link, deleting the original message. This means the file will appear under your list of files on /u and will also adhere to your /u max upload size.

The ability to create polls has also been added to Chat. Just type "/poll (question here)" and a prompt to create options and poll settings will appear.
