Re: Patch 47: January 28th - Website Updates, Valentines Con Yes! I am immortalized. Awesome work as always!
Re: Patch 47: January 28th - Website Updates, Valentines Con Awesome job Telamon and company. Thank you very much for all your hard work.
Re: Patch 47: January 28th - Website Updates, Valentines Con Website's been flying for me lately. Fantastic!
Re: Patch 47: January 28th - Website Updates, Valentines Con Yeah the website is much better for me too. Great work. I'm still puzzled with the guild search function. You can't seem to search for guild abbreviations or "parts" of the guild name. You have to search for the exact string, or at least the beginning few letters of the exact string.
Re: Patch 47: January 28th - Website Updates, Valentines Con glad i'm not the only one who noticed this.
Re: Patch 47: January 28th - Website Updates, Valentines Con Right now the search function is a very rudimentary check vs the guild name. As I work on the guild search more I will make sure it does a better check of guild name and abbrv. I just finished added keyword search functions to the compendium articles so I can tag them with specific keywords to make sure our players get high quality results for common search terms.
