Here are the new features of today:

• the Marauder's map now has nearly 1000 random actions that display depending on your character's location; (feel free to send me an owl if any actions have typos, are misaligned, or the pronouns are not correct);
• You can now specify your gender in your profile: this information is used to use the correct pronoun in the actions that appear under your name in the Marauder's map;
• several forums (dormitories, lavatory) have been merged into one to simplify the codes.

Just a few things tonight:

• I finally managed to fix the site's backup, which is done every quarter of an hour, and which was not working for a few days, and which was intended to avoid an incident like Tuesday morning;
• repair of the slowness that could sometimes happen when sending an owl;
• added the display of the date of the last message for the moderators;

I take this opportunity to wish you, each one of you, happy holidays!

Some bug fixes in the last few days:

• fixed situations where the site would disconnect you (change of network or device);
• fixed the return link in some error messages;
• better display of the encyclopedia for new non-distributed players;
• fixed a security bug in the search;
• improved display of buttons when there are no more frogs to open;
• fixed the ministry of magic dropdown;
• administrators can now create new pages or new shops (in new forums) without my intervention;
• correction of the name that appears in some notifications.

In addition to some small works (engine update, cleaning and code modernization), here is a small novelty concerning the display fonts of the site:

• the site now uses the default serif font of your system, with the objective to offer you the best looking font for your device; this should not change anything for those who are under Windows, but will change the fonts for Apple or Android devices;
• the ability to put custom fonts in posts has been disabled: what looked pretty to you usually didn't display, or displayed very poorly, to those who didn't have the same device as you, making it difficult to read sometimes.

I hope you'll like these changes (knowing that when it comes to fonts and aesthetics, it's a matter of taste and habit); don't hesitate if you need to send me a screenshot and details about your device if there was a display that seemed really repulsive!

Good evening,

A small change I wanted to make for a long time: the font size on the site has been increased by a pixel (from 14px to 15px) to make it more readable, and closer to the size of the other sites and the interfaces of your devices.

The width of the pages has also been increased accordingly.
On small cell phones, there is no change.

(Small modification on the principle, but quite important technically, because it implied to modify many things)

Hello everyone,

Despite all my efforts, a new job took up all my time and energy over the past year, which prevented me from maintaining the website as I wished. I sincerely apologize for this and want to assure you that I am still here and keeping a close eye on the site, making sure everything is working properly, even though I am less present.

I have just completed a major update of the site engine and all its dependencies, which took me several days (and a lot of trouble!) of work. Normally, this is completely invisible to you, but it should help resolve a number of bugs that have been encountered over the past few months.

Please don't hesitate to let me know if you encounter any difficulties!

Best regards to all,

Zachary

Hello everyone,

The forum engine has been updated. As usual, please let me know if you encounter any problems.

In addition, I think I've corrected some memory problems that may have been the cause of SQL problems this year

I've noticed that sending messages can take a long time: I'm currently investigating the cause.

The forum engine has been updated, and various small bugs reported have been corrected.
Don't hesitate to report any difficulties that may have arisen!

Since March 1st, the points stopped working... I temporarily fixed the issue without really understanding why it happened. Let's meet again on April 1st to see if my solution is permanent!

Hello everyone,

Lots of small bug fixes over the past few days, which I’m happy about because some of them had been around for a long time.

• Fixed the money bug where, in certain situations, Galleons could be debited (or re-credited) several times (and sometimes caused “negative Galleons”).
• Reindexing search when a message is posted so that it appears instantly.
• Fixed a bug with May birthdays that were not displaying.
• Fixed a bug in the validation confirmation message (validating or cancelling had the same result).
