The site has been updated.

This patch was almost all under the hood work; XIV data mining work (update on that below) and a lot of cleanup in preparation for new hires. I made sure to get a couple of user-facing things in, though.

  • [XI] The inactivity trigger for achievement point inclusion is now 60 days instead of 30.

  • [XI] Synergy achievement points now display correctly.

  • Forum sections are now links on their own.

  • The array of available badges has been expanded (more below).

  • Badges now grant titles (more below).

  • FFXIVPro.com now has a sidebar link.

  • Various pieces of phrasing around the site have been changed and clarified.

  • The "About" page now automatically updates, and my dumb *** is in the admin section.

  • Changes and fixes to various moderation tools.

  • Changes and fixes to various administration tools.

  • Refactoring of pieces of the code base.



Badges:
There are now badges for winning MS Paint contests (which will be awarded when someone gives me a list of winners or I backread and find them), contributing to guides even if you're not the author (shoot me a PM is you or someone you know qualifies!), and finding/reporting bugs on the website. They also now grant titles, selectable from the "Account" page. I've also added a tool to make them easy to add from the admin interface, so no more waiting for patch day. They still need a tab on the user page, though.

XIV data mining:
The relevant fields have all been mapped (with a huge shoutout to Lakshmi.Teven, who was indispensable through the process). The importer is complete, and all that's left is completing the deciphering of the icon format. I expect to fully update XIVPro's item database next week.

I meant when the errors started happening. Was going to post "inb4" but couldn't.

Just wanted to say Thank you for all the hard work that you and the rest of the team does to keep FFXIAH.com up and running.

We all take for granted this awesome site.
Not many of us take the time to show appreciation. I just thought it was warranted here.

Again, Thanks for all your hard work. Its most appreciated!
Peace!

I think the change from 30 days to 60 days to classify as inactive is much better.

While you're working on the site, item sets have been aligning oddly for me. Is that a known issue or something I've caused with my browser?



It happens on user pages as well as the set editing page.

Which item set is that? First I've heard about this and I haven't touched item sets in a while, so I'm interested to see which one.

New topics for non-escalated users. I flipped a permission check in the wrong place. It's harmless in terms of privilege escalation, but it prevents posting new topics in most sections.

It seems like it's related to the change for nodes a while back. I remember combing through a job thread not so long ago and all the old sets were askew like that.

It's present on all sets in the editor and on user pages for me, though. Using firefox with only adblockplus and noscript, ffxiah as trusted for both. 3 1920x1080 monitors and firefox maximized in one of them.

I'd say if you were using Palemoon, what were you doing at my desk?

Looks okay to me, with the same setup (ABP/noscript trusted for AH). Wonder what else is different? I'll try it from regular user accounts, once I fix these other problems.

No. Rooks will be remembering this when he's 95, in a nursing home, gumming his mashed potatoes.

Weird. But I'd rather see this as his icon:

I tested an avatar and wasn't able to make it blank again.

We waited so long for Jassik to finally get himself an icon and it isn't even good. Please just go back to blank. *shakes head*
