49 days without a (major) update, that's not good.

Sometimes I lose track of things. I finally got around to finishing up one of the major missing pieces remaining before open beta can start, which was the post office.

Sorry for the slow updates. Here's to hoping clans don't take nearly as long. :)

Yay, post office! Go Wiggin!

Question: will everything be reset for open beta as well? Or just when the game is released?

I really really love the little new post / new mail / online counters :D

Thanks! Does the color scheme make sense? For post office and forum, it turns yellow if it's non-zero, but for online it always stays gray. The reasoning is because the post office and forum, you can do something to get them back to 0.

I plan on adding these counters to the showroom and chat links as well. Showroom will tell you how many items you have waiting to be purchased (via star order) and chat will say how many people are in the channel. And now that I think about it, workshop could have one to show how many unspent points you have.

Yea, the colours make sense.

I'm not sure about counters for showroom and chat though. They'd add up really quickly, and when there's too many of those yellow numbers, it kinda defeats the purpose of drawing attention. A counter for unspent statpoints would be nice though; that only happens once in a while, so an alert makes sense.

Really like the post office one, but the forum one seems to be stuck at 113, even after I view the "new" threads, anything I can do to clear it?

The showroom one would be great once stars are implemented, it would be kickass, just to know the second they got in.

Im not a big fan of the workshop idea though, I mean isn't already obvious when you level up? Like, it even says it... "Your bot has gained X levels" Just seems like extra fluff to me

You can only reset the forum manually, with the link at the top of the forum's main page.

I like the post office design.

Is there going to be a delete post option?

Can´t send untitled mail anymore.. And yea I´m curious about a delete button too.

Hmm yeah, I'll add in the option to delete mail at some point.

And until that time, you're forced to enjoy my spam! har!

Oh, it´s just perfect! Now I have something to read before bed.

Though.. i think i'll sort-of miss the endless re:re:re:re:Subject! and the nested blocks of italics..

Especially when conversing with noobs who managed to fuck that up thoroughly :)

Re Jans' Post:

Haha that was great! I loved it when they deleted the entire convo, or deleted part of the code so that ALL of the letter was in italics.
