HearthStation Changelog - 2019-03-17

It was a bit of a busy end of the week with the new expansion being announced so I wasn't able to get up patch notes for the site. Here's everything important you need to know from Wednesday to Sunday.

Bugs Fixed

• Fixed an issue where it was possible to cause the homepage to error if you published an article that had an empty tag. Thanks for accidentally finding that one, Sylicas, and for only letting the staff see the article!
• Removed client-only rarities from our rarity drop downs.
• Usernames on the site may now only be alphanumeric.
• You can now edit your comments as many times as you like without needing to refresh the page because of shitty JavaScript.

New Features

• Hearthstone Card Reveals
  • Guides with unrevealed cards now display placeholder images.
  • Additional backend changes have been made to prepare for the expansion and make it easier for us to cover.
  • More card reveal related stuff will be coming early this week.
• Polls
  • Currently an early version.
  • All card pages now have rating polls for rating cards based on how you think they will do in Standard, Wild, and Arena.
  • There isn't any way to see the data yet, that comes this week.
  • No ETA on creating your own polls on the site, but those are on the todo list.
• Comment Replies and Quotes
  • You can now reply and quote comments!
  • Comment replies are nested everywhere except the forums so you can easily follow conversations taking place. So sorry this wasn't in at soft launch.
• Editor
  • Added a new row of buttons for Card, Card Image, and Deck insertions. 
  • You can use the card or deck ids for the above bbcodes. You can also use the card name for the card ones.

Changes

• Improved backend performance on many pages. The homepage especially should load just that tiniest bit faster.
• You can now access Recent Threads from the Forums Nav dropdown.
• Standard Hearthstone expansions now display in the Expansions dropdown. All other sets, please click on expansions!
• Hearthstone Mechanics
  • Added Combo (cards are not yet flagged with this, we need to resync our data)
  • Added Lackey
  • Added Twinspell
• You can now press on the HearthStation name at the top of the site on mobile to go to the homepage.
• Deckbuilder
  • The deckbuilder looks better.
  • You can now easily page through cards with the larger buttons or the scroll wheel.
  • Added a format option called "game format".
    • Standard will only show you standard cards.
    • Wild will show you cards from every set.
    • Only Wild will show you cards from sets not allowed in Standard.
    • Request for Comments: Would you like an Arena sort so we can display only cards that you'd get in Arena runs?
  • Changed the way the cards sort so it is now lowest cost to highest. Still need to sort them by cost AND alphabetically. Soon (tm).
  • Remove the save buttons at the top that didn't do anything.
