Shoutbox and Banners - Apr17-2025 - SweptThrone - 22-Apr-2025
This is a late announcement post for the various changes that have occurred since April 17.
First and foremost, SweptForums now has a shoutbox! Located on the home page of the forums, you can now shout out anything that's on your mind! Not much more to say about it, it's there.
Secondly, I've updated how user groups and titles are displayed. Now, instead of only having one user title, you can technically now have three! You can have a custom text-only title as well as a user group banner image and a post count banner image. You can see how some of these look in the member list.
Finally, to explain all of these banners and even the forums' rules, the help documents have been updated with new documents for banners, groups, and rules.
EDIT: Since this announcement, I've made a few more changes. Everything is now stored in the forums' database with Unicode support, so emojis will appear across the site from now on. Also, the reputation system has been enabled. You can now rate posts and users to add or subtract from their reputation. Finally, I turned off the redirect pages, so you won't see that annoying confirmation window for a few seconds after doing anything.
That's all for today!
