Great QOL update! The less passwords one has to remember, the better!
Lemushki - The one and only since the 2006 rebranding.
I couldn't agree more! Passwords are quickly becoming old fashioned and I'll be looking to integrate passkeys support into the site down the line to help with that.

Something that was changed recently is the forum post text field. While is has been modernized, the new text field removed functionality like the HS card tags (we have to manually add ['card']['/card'] now if we want to reference a HS card) and the spell check was removed ☹️
I know we moving away from HS only content but man, having to manually add the card tags is annoying
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
I also notice not "really" being able to quote anyone's comment, or at least not the way it used to work.
You can click "quote" but it appears as simply replying to a comments and doesn't bring the "quotation material" in the text box anymore.
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
Heya! Our Known Issues thread mentions the card bbcode tags being removed. It was not an intentional change, just when we upgraded the editor all our old plugins no longer worked. The next site update will have this resolved, alongside a bunch of other stuff!
I have added the quote problem to the known issues thread. I missed adding it in the last thread update.
