Dreamers and Doers

• Just added that to the homepage. Got it from the old forum that is no longer up and running.

Why aren't SVG working???

Separating Eric Links from Community Links

• We should add all of Eric's links, like Facebook, instagram, twitch, etc.
• Doing this will make the community section too long probably, which means it makes sense to have a community section for community links and an Eric section for Eric links.

Active Discussion is in Discord

• A lot of discussion is happening in The Portal Discord.

Things we need to fix

• We've started getting spam. Now it's time to lock down new user creation or it will get out of hand.

I'm actively watching the bots/vandals. I'll have time over the weekend to clean things up more. Right now I've temporarily locked down new user creation. --BeefSandwich27 (talk) 16:39, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

• Are email verifications not being sent? Need to test They are not being sent.
  • KevB-ing (talk) ~~ I received one but I had to go to my spam folder to find it. ~~ 22:02, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
    • If that's the case, then I need to just super-double-check everything. Seems like it actually is working. --BeefSandwich27 (talk) 11:26, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
• Better ability to edit tables?

• Mobile isn't good at all.
  • KevB-ing (talk) ~~ I think the Timeless skin (included as an option by default) may work better on mobile than the OOTB default Vector skin. Also, a Timeless Dark skin is available as an added extension (having both would allow for toggling between with some consistency).

Discord

Invite expired from link

We're aware that the Discord link is expired. We commented it out until it gets fixed. 12:19, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Big Cover Image

We should remind Brandon to upload a somewhat smaller version of The Portal cover image on the homepage. It's currently larger than it needs to be and sometimes loads in super oversized before the CSS kicks in. (You want it kind of bigger for retina displays, but not quite as big as it currently is.) --BeefSandwich27 (talk) 12:32, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
