I can't login anymore! What happened? There are a couple things that might've happened here. You had multiple accounts on RPC that used the same email. Anyone who had multiple accounts on RPC with the same email will find that the new email-based accounts here have merged all their secondary accounts. Which every account was oldest was the one that was made primary. You may need to reset your password! You registered after our final save. We were able to snapshot data from February 11, around 11AM-12PM. If you registered after this date, your account was not carried over. Please re-register. Is it just me or does the site crash or go offline a lot? It's not you. It's me. I've been working on tweaking the server config for performance and features and have to restart servers now and then. Occasionally I break something to x_x The old site is gone! What happened to my posts? All content should have been migrated, however there may be some formatting issues that the converter couldn't catch. You can find RPC's old site at https://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/mybb/ and any old links you may have bookmarked should continue to work. Where did my avatar image go? During the conversion from our MyBB site, avatars were not carried over due to a limitation in the converter tools. RPC staff can help you retrieve an image if you'd like to reupload it for use again. I was a patron on RPC but it doesn't show any more. What gives? Let Unnamed Mercenary know in a PM, chat message, or some other mean. I'll cross-reference from the old site and get your name updated! Chances are, you had an older account that your patron name was merged into and that removed your group access. Why are my Linkshells and Free Company listings are missing? The new Linkshell Hall and Free Company Hall pages are built off InvisionPower's new "Clubs" feature. They allow users to make full sub-communities on the RPC! While we can't migrate a listing from the old halls directly, we can migrate your old list's thread into a club forum. What happened to my Gallery images? They aren't gone! We promise. RPC previously used a gallery software called Coppermine, with some delicate code that bridged the gallery to upload using your credentials. We've converted and transferred all images over to the new gallery, but we'll need to manually re-assign your uploads to you. We understand that this is not ideal and ask for your patience and understanding in the matter. If you'd like to help us out, you can send us a list of which photos were yours with links from the new gallery and we'll get the linked to you so they show up in your profile. The editor is quirky. Yes. Yes it is. If you're trying to make a line break, you can use HTML or shift-enter if you don't want paragraph block spacing.(The enter key is now a line break and not a paragraph.) For advanced users, you can technically edit fully in HTML. We use CKEditor now. If you want a certain plugin, we can try getting it integrated. I noticed a post that looks weird. There are BBCode or formatting issues. RPC's previous forum made use of a lot of custom and nonstandard BBCode. Users are encouraged to update their posts to make them pretty again. The new editor will access BBCode, but you cannot convert formatted text back into BBCode. Users are able to post with some basic HTML tags now, however! If you need any assistance, please contact the staff! Internal links will need to be manually updated. If you spot something that seems out of place, please report it. The theme is very...bright. We're working on making the theme easier on the eyes. If you have experience with Invision Power board themes, please contact Unnamed Mercenary. Users should be able to select an IPS4 Dark theme now as well. The css hasn't been check yet, but it should give a very simple black and blue appearance better for evening viewing. The site feels kinda slow. Are you sure it's better? The sluggish performance is partly to do with the migration procedures and shouldn't be permanent. (But may last until the server bill's paid again.) We used a lot of processing getting everything moved over and should build up speed as things are cached and stored away again. I keep getting asked if I want to allow notifications. Why is the site nagging me? It loves you. IPS keeps more active connections to the server to help update you on content faster. The new RPC site is excited to notify you about all sorts of things! Notification popups are handled by your browser. Most should give you an option to blacklist the RPC if you no longer want them. Be sure to check out all of the notification settings here, as the defaults may not be the best for you! https://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/ips/index.php?/notifications/options/ I was doing something on the website that took a while and suddenly the page became filled with garbage text. Did something go horribly wrong?! This is tricky. And to give a basic explanation, some of the webserver code might not have had a good time trying to process your request. We're working to tune the server config so that this doesn't happen. If you can provide details like what browser you were using, the page you were and, and what you were trying to to do, we can check to see if something happened at that time. So far, this most often appears when uploading larger images to the gallery. You can sometimes resume by reloading the page. Edit 2018/04/18: We've upgraded to IPS 4.3 - Technical Details Users can now make read-only club listings for the FC and LS halls. These are viewable to any, but require invite/membership to post. The Gallery now supports anyone-can-use albums. The general categories will now allow uploads if you don't want to make a personal album. Users who already have albums can adjust the settings.
