Chaos

Huh. Let me check on MBIs mobile site. There should be no reason why it isn't working there... I'd like an app to work with the subsites too. I would prioritize Coppermind access first, but yeah, that would be great.

Haha, no offense taken. Fortunately you can have rather fine-tuned control over what you get emailed about.

I want to code an app one day. Someday... In the meantime, if you want notifications on a phone/tablet, you can set email preferences to do that for you, you know? I know IPB is technically compatible with Tapatalk, but I despise that if you enable Tapatalk, whenever you go to the mobile site it bugs you to get Tapatalk. So... we aren't going to do that.

Thanks

In Brandon's emails that send out unpublished works, it explicitly says to not distribute them. Please respect his wishes.

I've been waiting for that back cover! Unless I've just missed this before. I love those mysterious writings from that person who we still don't know... Mistborn spoilers. So that's kind of ominous, but awesome. EDIT: The synopsis is also good because it is the second time the war is actually called the War of Reckoning.

While amusing, I kind of think this joke has run its course. EDIT: There are not additional downvote levels past -100. Also please do not make multiple accounts. I will be banning those secondary accounts for obvious reasons, as I don't want people to do rep abuse otherwise in that manner.

I think it has probably the most fantastic and haunting atmosphere of any story Brandon has written. I know with Emperor's Soul Brandon really has rocked the short fiction format, but Shadows for Silence is just so well written. Haunting and makes you want to learn much more about that planet.

Ta-da! http://www.17thshard.com/forum/forum/60-cosmere-short-stories/

No, honestly it was more because I'm super busy, and we had to discuss where we wanted to put that forum (as the current layout did not account for this. In planning the new layout, we were mostly like "Eh, Shadows for Silence isn't coming out until December. Plenty of time to figure it out!" Then we did not figure it out). Cosmere Short Stories will be a subforum of General Brandon Discussion.

I'm going to make a forum for cosmere short stories very shortly, sorry for the delay!!

Rotting Chull Carcass, Lamespren, and Beheaded Inquisitor are all my favorites. We had far too much fun with those.

I'm not really a fan of additional subforums unless absolutely necessary. I find forums with large amounts of subforums hard to navigate. It is not at all challenging for me to make such a subforum, but I do not want to do that until I feel there is an overwhelming need to do so. Because I mean, there are a lot of things that could theoretically have subforums. Heck, every book could have its own subforum. However that would be rather silly. At some point too much categorization makes it harder for people to decide where to put topics and it makes it harder to navigate the board. Even now there is some confusion on whether people should put a topic about Roshar, but is cosmere heavy into either Stormlight or Cosmere Theories. I personally don't care, and I don't want moderation to involve moving topics into arbitrary subforums just because. It could be a whole can of worms and unless it is necessary, I don't wish to do that. The subforums we have currently are a necessity only because they contain spoilers for things that people would not like spoiled, but those are not permanent subforums. The WoR discussion and the Steelhunt discussion boards will eventually go away, just as the Alloy of Law board did a bit after its release. So hopefully you understand when I say "I do not want unnecessary subforums." Personally, I think the Stormlight forum is sufficient for these purposes. Then again, I'm not sure it would warrant sixty topics. But either way, there are other factors to consider. If we have an epigraph board, will each of the ten books get an epigraph board? Or will it just be the epigraphs for all of Stormlight Archive? And why should the epigraphs get a board? Would that lead to additional sub-boards regarding particular areas of interest in Stormlight Archive, like fabrials, Surgebinding, etc.? I worry about that. I realize forums are not the most dynamic of environments to group things, but in the meantime, if you want to group a bunch of topics together, I would create a tag for all those topics. So Epigraph discussion can just be "epigraphs", and for those other topics similarly. You are more than welcome to try and persuade me on a subforum, but I have a lot of bias against making subforums, so you'd may need to work at it a bit and address these concerns.

I've resolved the error. Not sure if it is because of the downtime we have had today.

I thought you should be able to split it up using Enters. I will investigate. I would say overall that I hate the buggy rich text editor. I personally turn it off and use it in code form. I'm really sorry the editor is not better.

I've tested this on IE11 and I can indeed verify that this is a bug. There is a method in which you can still use the quote features, however. You do this by disabling the rich text editor, giving you the BBCode of a reply rather than the pretty, formatted one. To do this, click the button on the top left of the reply box. Once you do this, quote and multiquote functionality is returned as usual. I'm not quite sure what the problem is or why the rich text editor doesn't like it, but I will file a bug report and see what happens.

This has now been rectified, sorry for the inconvenience. We have to turn it on and off manually and it had slipped my mind. It was not intentional.

I gotta keep the mystery up somehow, right?

I agree with Feather and will be closing the thread at her request. Please continue shipping discussion in the Your Cosmere OTP thread.

Hey Cartith, great edits on the Set article I made some stylistic edits for readability, and marked it complete. I would note that to link within the Coppermind, use [[ ]], not the {{wp}} template (the latter actually links to Wikipedia). Thanks for your help!

Zu has been marked as complete. Weiry, Windy will need to look at those Stormlight articles (he'd probably catch some things that I wouldn't), and Cartith, I will take a look at Set. I will try to update the first post in this topic with the candidates and theoretically stay current with it. EDIT: Set is done, and Windy marked some of your articles, Weiry, so they are removed from the candidate list I personally think fabrial is nearly Exemplary status. It is long enough to warrant that over Complete. As such, I am promoting fabrial to Good. Windy wanted a few things added to it, but he really liked it.

Welcome back

Fixed! Thanks for noting this, Stroniax

Thanks for noticing this, it must have happened with the new site update. I'll work on it.

Huh, so the add-on clearly broke in this update for some reason, because in the mobile site you can clearly see a post's reputation, but it looks very out of place. I will work on it tomorrow
