Spoiler safe photos, quizzes, and more

Just wanted to share where I'm at with the site and some things I had in mind coming next.

First, on a side note, I fell down some stairs last Sunday evening and spent almost 4 hours in the ER to make sure I had not broken my ankle. It wasn't broken, thankfully. I've heard that might make recovery slower (soft tissue injury vs. a bone break), but I'm glad to not have a cast on it - just a splint. Being on crutches is no fun and has seriously disrupted my life this week.

Anyway, onto the site and things I'm focused on whenever I can right now...

New Photo Tags and Treatment

I added some new photo tags: Meme, WIP, Mod, and Spoiler. In the case of Spoiler, adding that tag will cause the photo and its caption to be blurred (and eliminate it from being featured on the homepage). I've been doing a strictly pirate playthrough lately, so I've been capturing a few of the moments from the Crimson Fleet quest line. I wanted to post them with this Spoiler treatment in case new players (maybe the upcoming PS5 players?) are browsing the photos and want to avoid spoilers.

Trivia Quizzes

I've built a quiz system (including the admin editor for it) to create some trivia quizzes centered around different aspects of the game like locations, companions, quests, etc. I've got a few of them started, but nothing is published yet. My injury has slowed that a bit. If anyone has any trivia they'd like added for it, please be sure to send me a message or reply with that info. I'm aiming for a mix of easy/basic trivia questions plus some obscure/interesting ones for nice bits of trivia tidbits. In fact, every question will come with a bit of trivia pertaining to it.

Upcoming Things

  • Photo album support
  • Editor enhancements on the forum/comments like inserting emojis/gifs (giphy integration)
  • Mod author support for things like claiming ownership of your creator author record, submitting your own YouTube videos or extra photos, adding links on your profile to Nexus Mods and/or YouTube channel, etc.
  • Forum updates to show recent activity better
  • Homepage updates to show recent activity better
  • Fixing Reddit posts to be unique (not pull in multiples when user posted across multiple subreddits)
