Things that I am aware of:

• DIE ROLLER
  1. Old Dice Codes/Dice Code Block - does not work
  2. New Die Roller - Not as intuitive as you may think. It's in the Full Die Editor down in the area where you would attach pictures
  BB CODE BLOCK NOT PARSED
  1. BB Code Blocks such as OOC, TABLE, and HR are not parsed. This will be fixed a bit later as soon as I find a way to auto-reparse all the BB Code Block
  SEARCH
  1. This just will take some time... my computer will be locked up reparsing the whole board

Some things never are quite over:

Image Repository - apparently the repository needs to be 'adjusted' in order to work properly.
Certificate Issue - in order to go full HTTPS, I need to look into a certificate for the site.

It looks like the OOC and HR tags are not working at the moment.

They do work, but all the BB Code needs to be reparsed

I've experienced the below issues on Firefox (desktop) and Chrome (Android).

1) Opening EU in a new window, or returning to the site after logging in and clicking 'remember me' requires me to login again.
2) Using links to specific posts (for example, in the House Rules requires me to login again, and does not take me to the linked post (just the beginning of the topic of said post).

[Tiree]

I think this is an issue of going back and forth between http:// and https://

This may be an issue for a couple of weeks till I can get the certificates in play and the https rewrite rule up and running. The https rewrite rule might take a bit longer, due to the image repository. I am trying to figure out why it did not transfer over properly. We may need to blow out the whole thing and redo the repository. Even with that, i think our current links should still work properly though.

[Tiree]

The Board will undergo maintenance at 1230 Pacific for 30 minutes. The outage should be less, but in order to correct the certificate issue, some files need to get removed and regenerated.

For some insane reason, when I go to the EP Bounty: Rifts Adventure for Roll20 (which is in the EP forum) it leads me to H4H's adventure forum.

[CS High Command]

I'm getting the same issue for any global pinned links like the status tracker or any bounties

So - I have been looking into this, and I think it is a "Feature" of the Board Software. Which if you think about it, it does makes sense. In the old board, if you had a "Global Topic" you could only post to that topic if you opened it in a forum that you had permissions to. If that forum was locked, you couldn't post.

In this case, It references the forum, and if that forum is locked down, so is the thread that you made global. I have deglobalized the threads, and then reglobalized them. So it will be important for us as Admin's and Moderators when we make announcements to put them in the proper context and location.

[Dark Lord]

Very minor cosmetic complaint about the linked accounts- each username in the menu to switch has an extra space at the beginning of it (you can see if you hover over the link).

[Consumer]

Clicking on certain links causes me to be logged out. Example, Augur's link in the PM he sent.

Just happened to me too.

I can not get the dice roller to work this morning. No matter what I try it keeps saying " Error
The field `Roll notation` received unexpected data. Reason: No dice matches found for provided notation."

Also, I no longer receive notifications when a new post goes up in a game thread after clicking on "Notify me when a reply is posted".

Edit: OK, so the roll notation has been altered and now requires an "R" be placed in front of the dice notation. It does work though.

[Dr. White]

For my dice rolls I had to roll a couple dice *100, however this was interpreted by the dice roller as *10. I'm not sure if this is because of the roller itself or the mod we're adding to make dice rolling easier (which I also used).

[Tiree]

This is a known issue with the roller. Right now if you have a need to do a x100 attack, bonus, or whatnot. Use *10*10. I believe it’s the same if you have to do a +100 as well, the roller can’t interpret more than 2 digits.

I’d like to get this modified myself.

[Tiree]

5d6*10*10: [1, 6, 5, 4, 4]*10*10 = 2000
3d6+100: [1, 6, 1]+10 = 18

Any time I click on a link that includes the prefix www, it acts as if I am not logged in.
