New design template

@RationalMadman
No no, the functionality is exactly the same, only the design has changed. And that's what I am concerned about, because I have only one mobile phone and one laptop on which I tested that design, so there is still a chance that something can be displayed improperly on other devices. And since I cannot afford those services for this kind of testing, I am asking you guys to give me heads up if something is off on that page :)

New design template
Hi guys, so I have released a new sign up page that is supposed to look good both on desktops and mobiles, so I'd really appreciate if you could take a look at it from your device and see if everything is okay because I could test it only on so many devices :/ And of course, let me know what you think :) In the meantime, I will quickly replace the other authentication related pages.

While you're here, the forum search tool is awesome! Love it!
Oh it's going to get sooooooo much better, I will leverage some bad-ass search engine that will make finding things a breeze

Nah, it's not gonna be that different for the auth and the forum. But it may change drastically for the debates though.

I like it. The more information the members have, the better and more user friendly the experience will be.
Yeah, agreed. I will also all kinds of notifications, digests and all that to make things more interesting and active :)

The debate lectern is a classy logo, though I wish we could keep something that ties in with our nickname Dart. I think it makes a more interesting logo.
You are absolutely right and I tried but I couldn't come up with something unique and good looking :/ That's one of those situations when having a designer on board is rather handy. 

Thanks for all the work.
No, thank you for being here :)

Complete restructuring
Hi folks, just wanted to let you know that I've been burnout in the last months so the progress basically stopped but I am gonna try to get back on track with DART. Anyway, my current idea is to start drastically changing the parts of the website to make it more modern and interesting, it's time to leave DDO's shadow and move forward. I will try to make the website more modern*** and accessible for text readers and mobile devices, and what's more important, replace the core functionality with something more advanced and entertaining, which is something I will need your help with :)

I already have some drafts of the new design so you can check it out here:

Hi, yeah, it would involve some time consuming changes but could you please explain how it would help the Mafia community? Just to understand the usecase better.

Hi, I am afraid that the pop-up that you get from your browser or OS, I don't think it has anything to do with the website itself

Green Coins?

@Alec
You should give 10 credits per $3 donated, not $3 per month
Yeah, that's how it's gonna be. 

If someone stops donating and they use their credits, what would happen?  Would they get negative credits?
You cannot go negative, once you are at 0, you can't simply spend them anymore. And also we'll have a way to earn them in-site, so there's that too.

@Alec
Frankly, it's hard to say at the moment, it will depend on many factors that are yet to be implemented. Currently I just gave 10 credits for 3$ of donations per month. But it will most likely change when we at least have a way to earn those without donations.

RM has them not because of the donations really, he's just been super helpful from the website's start, he helped me to find a ton of bugs and inconsistencies.

At the moment, I just manually gave them to the people that donated and the mods. But I will add a system where they can be earned on the site directly, so more people will have them without donations.

These Tags

@Dr.Franklin
I've created a small announcement to explain how things work. I am sorry for the confusion :/

The bottom line is that you can use any tag you want, but autocompletion works only for those that already exist. Simple as that.

But also maybe we could have a button that says "Find Me" on the leaderboard, that way you can easily find yourself!
I can do that, but probably not too soon though :/

Hi, yeah, I remember you already mentioned it. Can you elaborate please on why you need to know who is online? Because maybe there is a better way to implement it once I am familiar with the specific use case.

The moderator Ramshutu is not just inactive for 5 days now,...
-->
@TheRealNihilist
I know you have a problem with Ramshutu but Ragnar is worse. I can see whatever he is doing with the forum restructuring. It took him more than a month to say he is acting on it incrementally. The only thing that changed was there was an extra section which was archived. I don't know if it just me but it doesn't take that long to simply add one thing or better yet implement the 1st Draft and remember you needed an archive section. Add it in all I am sure could've all been finalized in less than a month. He didn't take criticism seriously so I don't see the point entertaining a discussion.  
This one is on me actually, I do this slowly because the mods have to move stuff manually and I don't want to create chaos by adding a bunch of new categories and merging the rest, simple as that. So I add one category, wait a bit until the mods fill it out and only then move forward with the next one.

Dark mode will take some time, I am not sure how much though. Frankly I am feeling a bit burnt-out so the process has slowed down too.

Regarding your comment about the authors' link, that's a good one, I will think about changing that, thanks!

Is there anywhere you can highlight whenever a Bold, Italic, Underline, Unordered list and Ordered list is being used?

It is kinda difficult to judge whether or not my next comment after an underline or bold comment will also be bold. 
This one should be easy enough, I will check it, thanks.

Quote doesn't have to be given a box opens up which people should be aware of. 
Now sure I understand you here, could you please elaborate?

View Counter
-->
@Stephen
 It would be interesting to have -as many forums do- a count of the amount of views a topic gets. 
This idea has visited my mind for quite a few times but at this point we barely have any people using the website so I guess those counters would have rather limited use. But I will probably add it nevertheless, it's not that difficult to implement after all, I'll just need to decide on what should be considered a view, because it has some gotchas.
