Maintenance

Need our staff team to move a thread around, bring something back from the dead, or sort out an issue with your account? You’ve come to the right place!

To have a completed thread archived, just post here with a clickable link to the URL and the year to which it should be archived.

To have an incomplete thread revived, post here with a clickable link to the URL. By default, all dead threads are revived to the Past forum. Please do not request to revive threads if you will not be able to reply to them within 48 hours. "Dead" threads are routinely archived.

If you've accidentally posted on the wrong character account in an IC forum, the account you posted it with should have the ability to delete it as well, or you can use the Polyjuice button to switch authorship to another account! If neither of these work, post below to let us know!

To reactivate or deactivate a character, request in this thread with or tagging the applicable account. Please remember that the CD, PB claims, past claims, etc. are your responsibility upon reactivation. Please do not reactivate more than five characters at a time.

If you have any other issues, feel free to post here for assistance!

So I remember this happening to me once and then it went away. Now it's back, and I can't recall if I had to do something last time or it was triggered by bad profile code/bad title/something.

ETA: Further discussion on discord prompted me to include proof that the UserCP displays fine on some accounts.

Edit #2: Okay, I'm going insane. It's back to normal and I swear I did nothing. Is it about the subscribed threads displayed, because that seems to be the only difference?

The self-delete permission still seems to be missing from character accounts as of the latest update. It makes following the Post Rules or keeping Lonely Threads/Plots clean more difficult or confusing.

Can we restore the permission or adjust expectations for players?

Hey there! The Post rules section only applies to IC posts (which are the only posts that character accounts can delete.) I'll add editing that documentation to my to-do list. Otherwise, keeping lonely threads/plots is the responsibility of staff & sweeps. If you're having an issue deleting IC posts, let me know, otherwise I'll clean this out of maintenance when the Rules doc is edited!

The only issue is that it's no longer present as a button on the post/thread itself, and requires going into the Full Edit option to find the delete button. That had to be pointed out to me, and I'm usually fairly good at figuring out websites.

If that's simply the way the site is made to be used going forward, then ignore this post and clean as desired.

Can you screenshot this in an IC forum for Olive? The button still appears on staff accounts so it's helpful to be able to see it.

Here you go!

Welcome back, Knyghtskye!

The position of Muggle Studies professor @ Hogwarts is currently taken by another character, so I'll need a new user title for Silas before I can reactivate him In addition, please always let us know the correct usergroup for characters to minimize brian farts!

Hi there, Kayte! I think I'd like to make a new character entirely.. unless there's a position open in the Ministry or the Auror's office!
