Edit: Personal messages are broken atm, will fix by the end of the week.
Sorry if I broke anything. I have been working for weeks on some new features and general code fixes and clean-ups for the website.
This is not the full changelog, as half of it applies only to editors:
* If someone hits an “article not found” page (wrong article id), we now show a search box too. Making it actually a bit more useful. Also gave it a proper http 404 error code to not confuse search engines (thanks for the tip Levi!).
* ShinyLoot removed from Sales page, as they are shutting down.
* Added POLLS to the forum, could be fun and it was requested. Only those who aren't in the moderator queue (haven’t had enough topics approved yet) will be able to see and use the system to make them. Guests can’t vote, but they can see the results instead of seeing nothing.
* Adjusted the date picker for the Calendar as per flesk’s request. It’s no longer a popup window, but a JS modal type of thing (you can’t lose it now in your browser window list). Don't know what the date picker is? Go submit a game to the calender and you will see!
* Messing up a forum topic (missing a title for example), will no longer give you a static error message by itself. It will now redirect to the topic creation page with any info saved back in the title and text message box.
* You can now login with your email OR username, whatever is easier for you - A request from our IRC when someone couldn’t remember their username.
* Fixed lots of minor styling annoyances.
* Probably broke lots.
* We also moved to a private gitlab repo (I’m finally re-attempting to learn git). It will be opened up in future. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
The comments on this article are closed.
Quoting: TheBossQuoting: madmachinationsThe button to send a message/post a reply in the messaging system seems to have disappeared on me? Would this be due to these changes :P?
Uh yeah, will fix it asap.
Quoting: fagnerlnJust a suggestion, could put the Disqus in comment area, because its easier to follow the comments.
Afraid not, I don't want to hand all the comment data to another party.
If you have issues with the comments here feel free to submit suggestions.
Thank you for not using Disqus!
Beyond the data privacy concerns, it never seems to work well for me (doesn't reliably load, doesn't reliably login), so I'm glad you're not using it. I really like your current comment system, so keep it as it is!

Git is really nice, well at least until you hit some merge conflicts: https://xkcd.com/1597/ ;-)

Disqus is so bad I've completely blocked it on my machine, I never want to see or use it. My thanks also for you not swapping to it, although never hearing from me again might be seen as a bonus by some. ;)

I noticed a small bug. Ancii encoding doesn't function properly (in the Salestracker).
It shows Star WarsÂ: Knights of the Old Republicâ.
"User CP" also shows an error:
Error cannot find block named (mainad).

If you attempt learning git, this: Think Like a Git has helped me a LOT to get started. It's imho the best Git "Tutorial"

Quoting: adolsonGitLab is excellent! I use them as well. Free private repos FTW!
Not just that. They are FOSS and you can run your own instance where you want.
