The latest iteration of the Wiki index is now live, and I'm pretty pleased with how it's turned out.. 😊

I don't envisage another change until work starts on games outside of the Resident Evil series, and then I may have to reserve the index for game/series selection and have separate indexes for each..

The scroll-to functionality works really nicely on timelines!

Please do drop in and say hello if you get a moment! 🙂

I haven't played the remake yet myself, but the original remains to be quite possibly my favourite game of all time.
 
A couple of little tweaks I thought I would share before I start working on my next big addition to the current setup.. :)

Referral link block from Referral Contests by @Siropu merged with Share this page

One or two of our newer members mentioned that having the Introductions area as a sub-forum made it difficult to find, so I added an additional link in the navigation, and set up some User Onboarding tasks. I'm hoping that @NixFifty will add a task for users filling in the "About you" field in the future 😇

Conversation Folders replaced with Conversation Essentials by @Xon, tweaked with a couple of other add-ons by @Ozzy47 and @XenConcept

First, some tweaks..

A widget showing random tidbits from the Wiki..

A cheeky little sub-navigation on all pages in an attempt to avoid clutter, as well as several action buttons on the forum index..

..and a cheeky little nod to .. something .. in the footer and in my signature

Next, another sizable addition to the setup - Calendar by @NixFifty

I very much wanted to follow suit with using icons in my thread prefixes, and use them in Event categories too.. After a few hours of dabbling with code (not the easiest add-on to customise), I got there with it - and this is a change that is going to get implemented. Sweet!

Hopefully I can do a bit more with the Widget and show when the upcoming event(s) is/are, I haven't looked into it too much yet..

I'd show more - but it's really just stock behaviour at present.. I may customise a bit more, we'll see.

Not related to XenForo, but thought I'd also show off the intro clip I had commissioned for the YouTube channel (thanks to @Xyphien).

I think he's done a great job with it!

Hi, I'm trying to sign up to your forum but when I click "Register" I get this... (I don't use a VPN, I'm using my home network).

That IP/proxy check does seem to be a bit strict and is blocking a few too many legitimate registrations.. I'll switch it off, thanks.

Thanks. What add-on is it? I like that it warns you if you are using a VPN but hate that it's blocking legitimate registrations.

Email check? I couldn't even get to the registration form. I clicked on register and was presented with the "Error" message.

It must be that add-on that caused it though if that was the add-on you disabled as I was able to register after.

One of the API services that are used also offers IP checking - the add-on title and description are just a bit vague.. 😉
