From the linked article:
"I think we can safely say that HTTP/2 is not any slower than than HTTP1."

I'll take the same speed as unencrypted HTTP/1.1 but with encryption any day.

Idk if somebody there did something awesome or if my tinkering in chrome://flags did the trick, but either way things are loading much quicker now.

Yeah, so this morning I set site chat up to work with HTTPS, which means users now connect to it through the web server (instead of connecting directly to the chat server). We suspect that this + increased traffic due to marathon games pushed the web server over its limit as configured. We tweaked some settings and things seem to be much better, but we'll keep an eye on it & see if we can improve things further.

SITE CHAT

- You can now customize how the user lists are sorted. You can now choose to sort either by
usernames
or
activity
in your SETTINGS tab. Sorting by usernames will sort users alphabetically while activity will sort by active users first, then idle users second. Please thank for making this update.

- Custom username colors will now show up in private chat tabs. These tabs have also been restyled slightly. Please thank for making this update.

- Issues with the ;) smiley have been resolved. Please thank for making this update.

FORUM

- The "Scum Chat" link at the bottom of the page has been removed.

- A new "Turn on/off chat" link has been added to the top left of the board. This is to help users who either didn't know that site chat existed or didn't know how to turn it on. The location of this link may move in the future.

- Newly registered users will have chat enabled by default. They can of course turn it off.

MAIN SITE

- The home page has been reworked slightly to be optimized on mobile. We're planning to make some more extensive updates to the main site shortly.

Spoiler: Screen Shots

Other updates:


- has offered to help out with some coding. We're excited to have him on board.

- I'm planning to upgrade the Wiki tonight. We are currently on version 1.24.1 of MediaWiki. The upgrade will bring us up to 1.28.0. Downtime should be minimal.

- is helping to work on a new and improved guide for new users, which we hope to put on the main site.

- , , & have been helping with SEO. We're hoping to make some improvements to our search rankings!

Please use this thread for any questions, comments and/or tomato throwing.

^^^^ Egosearch staying to the far right is ideal for those of us that do our browsing that way.

Is there a way to change the tabs back to their old color? Or change them back to their old color dependent on site theme?

So add a chat enable/disable button on the bottom too; keeping egosearch rightmost on both.

Move the chat button to the right side? (With search/wiki/faq/members/rules)?

This has the added bonus of keeping view your posts in the same place as it was before.

I've moved it to the left of "View your posts" for the time being.

Moving to the top right needs icons to be made for each skin, but I agree that's the best spot.

The current location is good. Top right might be marginally better but current location is good.

Also current location is more visible than top right I think.

Bottom anywhere would be better IMHO.

As long as they leave mafBlack alone, I don't care what other blasphemous colors they add.

MafBlack is for plebs
Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.
I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?
