TemplarTemp Are you sure you're not confusing the alert messages with each other? If it says "The username 'The_Templar' is already in use!" then it's already taken, but if it says something like "User 'testa' has been registered!" then it was successful. Did you try to log in on those accounts? I think you might have just created a bunch of accounts 
It said that the username is already in use.
I tried logging in as The_Templar but the 4-5 passwords I normally use didn't work.
I registered the one ID I have that's not on that list and it said I was registered. The password worked for that one.

The website should work perfectly on iOS (at least on my iPhone), although it isn't really optimized for iOS specifically. Maybe an iOS app could become reality some day

Very weird. Perhaps you mistyped your password for that account (before I implemented the double check for creating your password)? Unfortunately the passwords are hashed so there's absolutely no way to recover those accounts no matter how I searched the database for them :/ Perhaps I should implement an e-mail account recovery system at some point... Then again, it's not a huge deal even if you lose your account, since you can just easily make another one and continue using that (I guess someone could have a reason to check his notes on past games though).

What you said above is true for me at least. I for one used 0 as neutral and went into the negatives for a degree of scumminess. So basicly -10 up to +10
It's pretty easy to use all in all and the two most glaring things I noticed are:
- You really need to know how to make lists with html to use that. I'd suggest putting a link to selfhtml or something like that in the OP. If you have more than 1 phrase per person it get's really confusing when only using <br>
- I set dead people to -1000 to not have them deleted (and thus the reads to them deleted at the same time) but still have them seperated from the still alive people.
If you could add some kind of option to mark someone as dead and have dead people in a slightly seperated list below the main thing that would be amazing.
+ Show Spoiler [picture, you can see both points] +End result for me looked something like that: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/B0vwsqT.png)
I tried my best to be in the last Cell to get more time to test it out but HF was a dick and put me in Cell2 despite me making it my sole goal to be placed in Cell5 for the first 24hours 
Oh also real nice would be some kind of automatic timestamp function whenever you update/change someones notes.
Making it completly automatic is probably not possible because you'd have to incorporate it into the whole thing but adding a little "date/time" button that adds the date+current time, neatly formatted, at your cursor position should be doable, right?
If you look at my read on WoS (which was completly and utterly wrong) you'll see him standing at +7 which he obviously didn't get after my first comment reading "gut read" and nothing else. In fact he was at +1 at that time.
Having some kind of time relation would make it a bit easier to realize what you thought at what time. The gutread on WoS was from really d1 and the 2nd one ended up being later d2 for example.

Thanks for the detailed feedback! 
Your usage of the tool looks a lot better than mine, haha... I just basically wrote a huge block of text as my notes. But that does indeed make it look a lot neater.
In fact I think it would be more useful to mark the timings of the notes as points in the game (early D1, N1, etc.). That seems a bit difficult to implement automatically though. When I was testing it out, I usually just wrote something like "didn't post almost anything during D1 - started posting a lot more during N1 and looks a lot better now" or something like that. That seems a lot more informative than a time stamp I think?
The "dead people" thing would make it a bit easier to handle all the players, and actually I was supposed to implement that when I made my last revamp of the database structure. Unfortunately I apparently forgot about that issue and focused on other things.. I wouldn't want to reset the database at this point, but this kind of a minor addition should be doable without changing anything about the already existing stuff in the database. So I think I could definitely implement that next.

yeah D1, N1 and so on would probably be even better but that's hardly possible to implement in an even remotely automatic fashion. Sure most games have 48/24 cycles but some, just like the Cell game just now, start on D0, or N0 or don't have 48/24 cycles or have instant majority which changing cycles (I'm looking at Palmar games). Thus you'd have to make that 100% by hand.
Just thought a timestamp would be nice for lazy people to press that button and figure out what day it was based on the timestamp if you ever need to. You still get relative information from a timestamp as in how long things/notes have been appart. Though, adding a "D1" , "N1" in front of every comment yourself is probably the way to go like you said.
|
Yeah, that might be true. It shouldn't be hard to implement and I doubt it would negatively impact anything, so I don't really see why not
|
An export to .csv feature would be cool.
|
Hm yeah, why not. I can look into that as well. When I get to do stuff next time
|
I changed the registration success message to be (hopefully) a bit less confusing. That's all for now The other suggestions would take quite a bit more effort.
As a sidenote, I've been thinking of creating a C9++ setup generator. Basically just a webpage that you could refresh and it would always give a new randomized C9++ setup. Thoughts? I didn't find one anywhere through Google at least.
