Hey Realms members! We’ve been hard at work making improvements, fixing bugs, and rolling out new features to enhance your experience. Here’s what’s new and what’s coming soon!
✅ User Comment Box: The centering issue with the comment box on user profiles has been fixed, including on mobile.
✅ Module Colors & Transparency: Most modules should now display the correct colors, and the transparent backgrounds on blogs, forums, and photos have been repaired. A couple of missed sections will be adjusted soon.
✅ Homepage Links: All homepage links are now displaying in the correct color, with the exception of the Activity Feed, which is still being worked on.
✅ Navigation Bar Cleanup: Irrelevant links have been removed for a cleaner and more streamlined navigation experience.
Q&A Section on the Forums – A new Q&A section has been added for convenience! Staff will respond to any questions placed here.
Guide Creators Wanted! – If you love writing guides, we’re looking for you! A Guides section will soon be added to the forums for members to share helpful resources. Well-written and comprehensive guides that include instructions, images, and even videos will be pinned, and pinned guides will earn 5,000 site credits! 🏆
(Note: The forums are currently under construction, but guides can be posted now and moved later!)
New Staff Section on the Homepage – A Staff Section has been added to the homepage so members can easily find and contact staff when needed.
Forum Signatures Are Live! – Customize your forum signature! Navigate to: Forums > Dashboard > Edit Signature
Inbox Reordering – New messages will soon appear first in your inbox to avoid excessive scrolling.
Welcome Bot – A welcome bot is in development to help new members navigate Realms and get started!
Live Chat System – A new live chat system is in the works to provide a fluid, real-time chat experience that integrates seamlessly with the site.
Site-Wide Link Updates – All links will eventually match the site’s color scheme, but each section must be updated individually. This is an ongoing process.
Page Headers – Headers on blogs, forums, member pages, photos, etc. will be updated to fit better and will be removed on mobile for a smoother user experience.
Mobile Responsiveness Fixes – Many pages are still not fully mobile-friendly or don’t display correctly. We are gradually fixing these to ensure a seamless mobile experience.
Automated Mailing System – Password resets and other automated emails are currently not working. The professional mail system we purchased requires attachment to our official domain name. Since wrealms.site is just a staging site, emails should work properly once we transition to wrealms.com.
SSL Certification Warning – Some users may see a warning that our site is "insecure." This is normal and safe because SSL certifications are domain-specific, and wrealms.site is a temporary staging domain. Once we transition to wrealms.com, the SSL certificate will be properly applied, and these warnings will disappear. Your data remains secure.
Profile Comments & Activity Feed – Comments on user profiles do not appear in the activity feed by design. This was decided by earlier Beta Testers and will remain this way for now.
Subscription Renewal Bug – There is an issue preventing subscriptions purchased with site credits from resetting properly. Some members have unknowingly been enjoying free subscriptions for the past few months. Fun, right? 😆 This bug will be patched soon.
Forum Visibility Bug – Currently, only the first 10 topics in the forums are visible, and older topics are falling off the page. This is actively being worked on. Bug reports will be addressed once this issue is resolved. (Many reported bugs have already been fixed but remain unmarked due to this issue.)
Paid Subscription Cancellations – Cancelling a paid subscription currently terminates the subscription immediately instead of allowing it to run its course. If you have a paid subscription using USD or real currency, please use caution when canceling until this is fixed.
Thank you for your patience and support as we continue improving Writer’s Realm! Your feedback is invaluable, so keep testing, reporting bugs, and letting us know how we can make the site even better. 🚀✨
Let us know if you have any questions or suggestions!
