Yeah, he sent it to me within what felt like seconds after my posting.

Looks like we're fairly evenly split between Japan and USA, not that there's been a huge number of votes.

I guess one big thing in favour of Japan would be the relative rarity of the prospect of a Mittens there, versus the five we've had in the USA already to date.  Not that the USA doesn't have plenty left to offer us of course, just more that Japan could be a break from the norm, like Australia was in 2019.

Would anyone like to take on the burden honour of arranging a Mittens Japan or Mittens USA somewhere from 21/07 - 01/09?  I know Stu's local, but has implied he might not be available.

A group photo from this event is the only one we don't have on the Wiki page.  Does anyone happen to have this?

What page exactly are you talking about?

@AGA is there some way to dump all of these into an Excel (or Google or libre office...) Spreadsheet? I was going through these and taking notes but if there was a spreadsheet maybe it would be easier to color them as done or not relevant or to take a closer look later.

https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/view_smf_projects.html, with raw data at https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/view_smf_projects.csv if you needed it.

I've added a poll to see if there's any strong preference for Japan over the US, if everyone who's interested in attending could please vote.

Yeah, let's go! 行きましょう!

Does that mean you'd only be up for Japan?

We managed to reboot Mittens this year, after a long Covid-induced hiatus.  Great fun as it was, it was a relatively small group, so I thought maybe we should start planning earlier for 2025 to see if we can get some more interest!

The US - given every third Mittens tends to be there - and Japan were floated as potential destinations.

Speaking for me and @tampie85, this would need to be during the school summer holidays (21/07 - 01/09).  We would also aim to bring our son along with us again, as we did to Mittens 2024.

Does anyone else have any particular interest in any destination, limitations on availability, etc etc?  The more we know about everyone's requirements, the better we can hope to address them all!
Tagging repeat and recent attendees!

Ah, great point!  All icons should now be on the same line, with the same styling.

Should be okay on both mobile and desktop now.

Somewhat related, so mentioning it here, I dunno if it was ok before and just recently got messed up, but on desktop, the awards icons that show below a person's avatar in a comment on the forums seems to be following some weird down then right scheme. So for example for you, it is showing 3 awards in a single column, for someone with 4, it shows the fourth on a second column on their right. This also seems to happen in combination with the icons that show what people can help with.

I don't understand from your description what you're seeing, sorry.  Can you give a link to any posts where you see this, or provide screenshots?

The layout of the section has changed somewhat to account for the tiny icons issue Gal reported, but we may need a second look to account for other things like the awards on top of it.

Should be okay on both mobile and desktop now.

@Gal Shemesh should be fixed now!

EDIT: except on mobile!  We'll look into that too.

I did notice that.  We'll try to fix it, bear with us!

Ah, thanks for reporting!  Should work now.

Yeah, really not an (easy) option.  Somebody would have to develop an SMF plugin with a custom BBCode tag to show alternate versions of a section of the page depending on the user's theme.  Not impossible, but to me there'd really not be a worthwhile cost-benefit!

As Snarky suggests, the safest would be to find some colours that work on both light and dark backgrounds.  Or just use size, bold and italics for emphasis, probably even safer!

I thought I could give back a little to AGS so I made a 404 although it can really be any number we want if we want a different one.  It was fun to make!

Looks great, thanks!

I made 3 quick sketches for errors. If ideas get approved, I can do them in colors.

While we really do appreciate the effort, it's hard to see how these would fit in the given context?  Or would you be combining the characters with a computer or something to contextualise it more to the whole 'using a website' thing?  I think your sketches are perhaps a bit abstract currently...

Please note that newwaveburritos got there first with the 404 (not found) too!

I don't know if this has been noted before so sorry if it has. 

I get this when clicking on the "Tutorials" link on PC:

Thanks for the feedback, but this isn't really a bug; it's happening because the wiki isn't set up on the test server.  The wiki hasn't changed at all under the new design.  If you want to know what the link would actually go to, you can just replace "new-site" with "www" in the address.

We've had issues with imgur before.  It's because https://i.imgur.com/ZctiD.jpg for instace redirects to https://imgur.com/ZctiD when you hit it, which is a page, not an image file.  They apparently banned hotlinking images a few years ago, presumably that's why it does this.

The forums tries to check the MIME type of the image link when you add it, and presumably this is returning document\html or something instead of image\jpg.

It's because your avatar isn't stored on a secure (https) server.  All modern browsers, and the forums software, actively reject http addresses now.

Can you give me the imagur URL you're trying to use?
