It's awesome what a poorly formed query can do. Anyways, a database restore, 60 emails, and 8 more hours of trying to figure out why the documentation system was now broken later, I reclaimed the critical path!

After that I ended up working on Sully some, fixing some oversights in the battle system with Gayo, and even took the time to whip up a little demo for a new verger asking how to put together a HUD.

Aren't I swell?

Next up for forums quest 2k8 is making rss listings for the most recent public messages, custom rss listings per user account, and email notification of a thread you posted in have been responded to (with reply form in the email).

No rest for the wicked. You can visit the beta site to check out the progress, or you can email me for a read-only account on the SVN repo.

Of frustrating note is that several more tests are red on the server than in my local sandbox. It is to sigh. But it's better to know that things are all broken right from the get-go than to whine "but it wooooorks on myyyyy box" and do nothign about it.

Been working late a lot recently. Left the office at 1AM today. And I stayed up working more just for you.

Anyways, replying is now in. Sorta. Spiked, so needs test coverage. Also I fixed the rendering for threads and for the reply page.

Current revision: 114.

...and now I sleep!

• Added custom sorting to forums.
• Added some style to forum pre's.

• Set up a schema for testing said forums, and testing posting in general.

One day I'll get back to making games, instead of infrastructure for games. Honest. ;)
