No worries, Kev.
Was a 10 hour marathon negotiation with the gwlegacy-supervisory board but in the end I convinced them that it would be in best interest of all shareholders to perform this critical maintenance update.
We might increase your bonus for this year, thanks for your commitment!

Hmm, I'm going to improve the look over the next few weeks, I'll probably add in some line.

Could you give an example of this?
The editor used has been changed, so this could be the cause - previous styling might not show up, new one should show up.

There's 3 entries for Staves on min and max damage
Blue staves were top line
Purple were middle line
Gold were bottom line

You might notice quite a bit of changes, should you find any bugs feel free to let me know.

GW gear stat ranges
Do you wonder what the game's currently dropping maximum and minimum possible damage, energy, armor, etc. for each requirement level are? We do, too! Let's keep notes!
Please post pictures so I can add the numbers into the table and the community has a way to verify it this way
…req 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Axe max 6-12 6-12 6-14 6-17 7-19 6-22 7-21 6-24 7-21 6-25 7-21 6-27 7-21 6-28 7-21 6-28 6-28 6-28 6-28 Axe min 2-5 5-10 5-10 5-10 5-10 5-10 5-11 5-13 5-15 5-23 6-17 5-22 6-19 5-22 5-25 6-27 Bow max 9-13 9-14 10-16 11-18 12-20 13-22 14-24 
in the table I had used font colouring to indicate the respective values for the different rarities of staves. I tried to recreate it with my last two edits, but there is no purple font colouring option. so I can't do it. but at least you can see what Forty Second Rogue was referring to - thanks for pointing the issue out!

Some avatars no longer appear.
The monster avatars were created by Gravatar, which has been removed from this release of the forum software.
Those avatars were only there for users that did not have an avatar uploaded.Right now, I can't bring it back, but I might look into this in the future.

I agree that this isn't a situation that works, I'll have to investigate if and how I can re-introduce a button to allow the picking of colors, not only highlighting the background.
I'm going to raise this as a concern with the developers of the forum software, and look into a temporairy fix.

Hi,
I don't know if this is recent or not, but how to change the background of: Custom User Title. Does it depend on a status or can it be customized with code or something?

Font-color is now back! It was an option to disable it, which was enabled by default in the new version. It had a quite cryptic naming so I didn't find it.
But, font-coloring is now back on the table!
NOTE: there is going to be a dark mode soon, so keep that in mind when choosing colors.

The color of these is decided by the title itself, and is hardcoded can't be changed by a user.
It is dependent on the amount of points you've gathered on Legacy:

Thank you, makes it easier to differentiate between the rarities, at least for me.

No problem, glad to be able to solve it this quickly!
Picking the font color is something which is quite necessairy in my opinion. It should also work for all existing posts as well. -

Just a small update, I've updated most of the pages on Guild Wars Legacy that had white boxes poking out where they shouldn't, like for example:
That unneeded white background has now been removed. I might have missed some, so should you encounter any place where you can still see it, feel free to let me know so I can remove it.

Is it me or are people deliberately choosing lousy font colors against dark mode :p I have to highlight everything with mouse to be able to read the forum now :p

Hey Kev,
A couple questions for ya. It doesn't look like spoilers within spoilers is an option anymore? Not a huge deal, but I did use it from time to time.
Is there no way to hyperlink a URL as alternate text? I see the hyperlink option, but that only lets me plug in the URL itself, with no option to change was displays as the clickable text.
And is there a way to adjust spacing between lines? It seems fine in this particular post but in my buy thread I've noticed things are way more vertically spaced out than they used to be.
Edit: Changing some of the lists in my buy thread to a numbered list and/or table helped with condensing, and it doesn't look bad, but curious why they were so spaced out to begin with.

I can't help with the hyperlinks or spoilers, but pressing shift+enter will create less space between new lines than just enter.

Thanks, i've been able to shrink my signature which had become too long.
Otherwise, when i want to edit a text that has a linked hyperlink, i can only edit the link, not the associated text, as was the case before.

Just tested it and it does work, but the editor doesn't allow you to add a second spoiler, but when you add the bb-tag [ spoiler ] (remove spaces) [ /spoiler ] it does work:
Display Spoiler

The editor itself has changed with this release (before Redactor 2 was used, now it's using CKEditor). The previous versions of Redactor has been deprecated and support drops after this year, so the developers of the software had to replace it (and the other software that Redactor made to replace Redactor 2 is wildly un-useable for a forum). So changes in behaviour is normal due to this... this also explains why more spacing is added, it's simply the way the editor works and how it is set-up differently.
It seems like previously, Redactor added a <br> when using enter, while CKEditor creates a new paragraph. Shift+enter is the way to still do a <br>/newline in this editor, which is actually the appropriate behaviour for an editor (as it allows for better styling/whitespace behind a paragraph, which is impossible to do with a <br>).
I might adjust the whitespace after a new paragraph, but shift+enter mimics the old behaviour, as Marty Silverblade rightly pointed out. -

Please don't. If you already want to set your own avatar, use something game-related or create your own

Iaerah Neutral_CH Actually jk, you can hyperlink alternate text. You just have to type it out first, highlight the text you want to link, and then insert the URL.

For example:
1. I create a text to which I'll link a hypertext and use the appropriate option.:
2. I add the hypertext link:
3. It is then impossible to edit the text, is only available for the hypertext link and doesn't work if i just want to edit the text without the option (= have to redo the text, then the hypertext link):
-
Oh I see what you mean. I was just originally thinking you couldn't do it at all, not that you couldn't edit it after the fact.
-
Edit: it actually works if i move around the text with the arrow keys (Otherwise the text is not selectable). But not via the link option.
Edit 2: I've also noticed that when text is placed to the right of an image, when the post is re-edited, the text automatically sticks to the image, even if a space has been added beforehand. This means you'll have to find another solution or re-edit all the text in the post (if you don't want the text to stick to the image).

That could indeed be a behaviour. You could try to use Ctrl+Shift+V, which should paste without layouting - this might work.

hi again, I don't know if I should be posting this here - but when I post a build with the gwbb wrap in the builds forum, it displays inaccurate (possibly older/imbalanced) values for skills. Say for example when I post a build that includes Blazing Spear with 12 Spear Mastery, the damage displayed in the forum is higher than the skill's actual damage.
Is it because the forum is not up to date with the latest skill values or is there another reason for this?
