New website
Hi everyone, I re-coded the website from scratch. It's currently under maintenance, I'm doing some tests on it to make sure it behaves as intended. The mods may not work for a couple of days since there are some discrepancies between the previous website and the current one and also due to some technical problem. I've tested the website but from what I've known from past experience is that development tests and production tests seem to have some big discrepancies. I may put it out of maintenance by tomorrow but keep in mind that some mods may or may not work; and there is still more testing to do. I would love some feedback as well on overall performance and experience as well.
Important Info: Any user that has signed up on the website will be able to keep their account. They won't need to confirm their email or reset the passwords since I'm using the same password verification. However, all users will still need to re link their patreon account (It can be done either by top banner or in settings). Any user that has not confirmed their account will not be able to retain their account and will need to make a new account and confirm their email address. Going forward I may add some code that will delete accounts that are not confirmed after some time.
Some background info. for anyone that wants to know:
I would have loved to code mods and do all that jazz, but here I'm coding nothing but web stuff. I received a decent amount of messages from users and their difficulties using my website. Once notified I've made many changes and bug fixes to speed up and prevent errors\bugs. The website performance gradually declined over the months. About 2 months ago, I decided to make a change and fix the website from scratch. I've been coding nothing but web dev stuff since then and there is still a long way to go but I believe it's at a stable point. The current website should be able to scale to demand. It may cost more but it should be faster and more durable. I'll still try to find ways to increase performance. Compared to before I think the website at least 2x as fast, when I did the tests. However, like before, my tests are half the story. So, please let me know your experience.
