Oh yeah, when will things like YT/NND accounts be visible on profiles? o3o It'd be cool to know~
I agree with this. It would be nice to link media websites to our profiles like the older forums did.

In terms of the questions about certain characters not letting you submit a Showcase item: the age bar has been changed to allow text and some simple characters (since some people were including ages that were more vague than a simple number) and if there are any other issues similar to that (like Wendy's problem with parentheses) please let me know and I'll fix them. The custom fields have the option of holding different types of data, and some are more strict in what characters can be input than others. Sorry about that...! (Like the URL fields currently won't accept anything that doesn't begin with http://)

One other thing that I've noticed is that's been bugging me a little is there is no icon next to the title of the page in the browser (not sure if I'm explaining this right) which is fine in Firefox, but for Chrome it keeps changing icons to whatever other website I've been on. Example:

Also, the custom user title field in the account details seems to be gone? Is something glitching or is it just being removed?

We removed custom user titles for general members because it overrides the user tiers.
Also, favicon should be showing up now. If not, clear your cache~

....

Oh.

I'll admit, the custom user titles thing disappoints me a bit but the fact that we have such awesome default titles here pretty much makes up for it :wink:

Speaking of user titles, could you tell me the order they go in? I've been a little confused since I've seen people from 35 posts to 300 posts with Teto's Territory, some people have Momo's Minions and I seem to be the only Ruko's Ruffian.

And I agree with Uchuu, thanks for all the work you guys are putting into the forum!!!

I can't remember if they're just by post count or if there are other factors to be honest. I'd have to ask Hentai about that.

Oh, ok! I was a little confused there.

EDIT: I was looking at the forum on my phone and I noticed the UtaLabs section isn't showing up.

@samth1815 Titles and posts count are completely separate entities. Post count has no effect on how one earns titles.

@oteto That title is not tied to your general postcount. There are many forums that can give posts, only specific forums count toward that title.

Due to all the emphasis on post counts on other boards (Read: VO) I have intentionally decoupled much of the forum mechanics from general post count. Instead of posting for postings sake a lot of XenForo's systems have been modified to promote on-topic discussion and specific subboards.

Likewise the specific rules I setup within these XenForo systems are being kept intentionally opaque. I am sorry if this has lead to any confusion.

Alright, got it!

Really looking forward to UF coming out of beta, I think it's gonna be great.

EDIT: Oy, the new Showcase layout looks great!

Installed Store Framework and a number of Temporary User Permissions including the ability to change user names, user titles, and birthdays. This is all I am adding for now but down the road I plan on eventually expanding this shop to include vanity and collector items, but that is a bit more down the road in post-launch territory once I get a better gauge on the UtaBucks economy.

Beyond the new shop related plugins in the week preceding launch I am going to be doing a polish pass on the CSS of the default template. Hopefully I will get to work on Emperor of the Rising Sun but for now the main focus will be on the Default Girl Defoko skin. Current beutification efforts have been specifically addressed toward Showcase and UTAU Profiles with cover image display and download button handling improved.

I will be looking to be cleaning up other parts of the theme and am open to suggestion on areas that need work so all your feedback is appreciated.
