Actually done three weeks ago, but here's the notes.
Major:
- Players and (official) lurkers to a game no longer get new message indicators for groups they don't have access to!
- A side effect of this is that you will continue to get alerts for games you are a player or official lurker in. Removing a game from your sticky list will no longer suffice, you have to request the GM remove you from the game. While a slight shift in operation for players, hopefully this will result in less vanishing players for GMs.
Minor:
- Fixed the lightly edited/punctuation tweaked editing messages (which broke some time in 2007).
- Access requests in games now have a "RPoL Profile" link.
- When typing in a game system it now gives better feedback if you have a prefix or suffix (or both) to a known game system.
- Updated the game check & fix routine for (some of) the changes done during 1.7.
- Fixed an issue where a game removed from your stickylist couldn't be added again if you've already read the newest thread.
- Any NPC with the tag containing the word "NPC" will now be grouped in the cast list (rather than the tag having to be exactly "NPC").
- Fixed advertising game count in the RPoL information page in the FAQs.
- Fixed the email notification drop-down list automatically selecting GMT send time rather than your local send time (for updates sent once a day at a specified time).
As per usual, feel free to discuss this (including any issues) in the accompanying
thread in the General RPoL forum.
