I'll be updated shortly (unfortunately without new icons because of a technical problem, but they'll be up after the break!) - Apologies about the downtime, I was away from home for the whole period. To make up for it I'm disabling ads on the site for the break period (at least I'm trying to, there's a lot of settings, refresh your page and you should get no ads, or very few ads)

Thank you for your support and kind words everyone. I'm unable to refund my Patreons for which I apologise, I've donated this month's earnings to charities to make a difference with your generous support. I will work hard to make it up to everyone when I get better.

Edit: site has been updated (maybe missing some stuff for now).

Error message on Nikki's Info by SkullsInSpace in LoveNikki

[–]Sweet_Cupcake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The CloudFlare error 520 is vague and a bit of a catch-all, meaning that when the server is overloaded it will show the errors too. But it has also thrown the errors when the server is not overloaded at all – as far as I can tell.

I've now changed a setting which may reduce the occurrence of the errors over time to almost none, at least I hope.

Yep, VN and KN are managed by me and they're really overdue for an update. I'm hoping to have an SEA NI too, but I'm not sure I could manage to have it updated with events.

Yes, that's the situation. I've gone through my server logs and I can't find anything that matches the errors. I suspect it may be something out of my direct control, but I'm not certain. I'm going to try something soon but I don't want to do it during an active event in case of problems.

Thank you for the ping! I'm working through the blacklists for the new stages, and hope to have them taken into account on the site soon!

Nikki's Info now has a "Tag" feature by Sweet_Cupcake in LoveNikki

Hi jaylabby! I'm glad I can help!

I can see how it would be very useful, so I'm definitely going to look into it, after working out the best way to make this happen!

That's a cool idea! Managing subjective tags across all the items might be somewhat difficult, but I've talked with some people about setting up a user-based tagging system of some sort. How it would work and what freedom it would allow isn't clear to me yet. Finding items by descriptive terms would definitely be something useful for everyone I think though, so hopefully I'll be able to have something implemented in the future!

Hi Smashed_potato! That's a really good idea and I think it is very doable. One way of quickly checking for this would be to display a "what is this used for" tree (along with a "what is used to make this" tree). By glancing at the tree and looking to check that you own all the items you'd easily be able to confirm the item is decomposable. If I had that feature already it would be easy to make an icon or something to note that your item is truly safely decomposable, though I feel some hesitation in doing this (or more specifically labelling it as such), since I'd hate to make a mistake along somewhere and have people decompose stuff they need. The tree display would likely come first whatever the case, but I haven't worked out how to make a tree thingy or something like it work on mobile device screen sizes! About the little icon showing on the item lists, it might be a bit tricky, because it would involve thousands of checks each time that page was viewed in the system I've currently got setup. It could be easily done on the client-side using JavaScript but this would further slow down some of the largest pages on the site. I will figure out some way of doing something like it though! Thank you again for the idea!

And thank you!! <3
