Title: Welcome to Our New Home
Post by: I Am Dansker on April 01, 2015, 15:33:34
What is new?
We have added a lot of new features for the new site and a lot more will follow soon!

- New way of authentication (http://farshiverpeaks.com/index.php?topic=582.msg2292) on the forum,
- Video's on the forum
  We now have a dedicate page for uploading your awesome GuildWars 2 footage!
  Currently it only supports upload of videos, however we plan on adding a comment section for each video soon.
- Guilds are now going to be a bigger part of the site with the integration of Guilds, check it out (http://farshiverpeaks.com/index.php?topic=1334)!

- Forum customisation, click here (http://farshiverpeaks.com/index.php?topic=1335) to find out.


What is to Come!?
This is just the first milestone, we have a lot more to come in the following weeks :) 


- Automatic Guild Assignment
Right now you as a guild leader, has to assign who is in your guild manually.
However a we have talked with a ArenaNet dev who says they plan on having the new Guilds API ready within a couple of weeks.
Once the API is out, we will make the process fully automatic as a part of the Authentication process.

- Video Comment Section
As mentioned earlier, we plan on adding a comment section to each video

- Display Guild Tag
This was just short of being ready. Expect it to be here within a day

- Teamspeak Authentication
Once we have made sure the authentication process works without any problems, we will integrate it with our Teamspeak server as well.
This should limit any potential spy problem we might have to only be possible by players who is actually on Far Shiverpeaks
Also it means we will no longer have to manually add people on TS when they ask in map chat... ;D

Obligatory Bugfixes!
We know there are a few hiccups here and there and more will probably be discovered in the next few days

If you happen to find a bug, please report it here (https://github.com/iamdansker/Far-Shiverpeaks-Development/issues).

Anything you would really like us to add?
If you have any suggestions, big or small! feel free to send them to us here (https://github.com/iamdansker/Far-Shiverpeaks-Development/issues).

PS. if you can't be bothered with logging into Github, just post it as a reply to this thread,
however it is easier to manage this stuff there :)


Pro Tip
Use the (http://i.imgur.com/jQHDNiJ.png) button at the bottom of the forum so every old post doesn't show up as new :)

That's pretty much been entirely in Danskers hands, deserves all the praise for it :)

I see why you can't see it, you haven't authenticated yet.
Just follow these steps to gain access to everything [size=78%]http://farshiverpeaks.com/index.php?page=authenticate (http://farshiverpeaks.com/index.php?page=authenticate)[/size]

The new forum looks great and the Auth-APP is even better.
Now that we have a proper website managment and using SMF - can we use the "ACCOUNT PURGE" option to clear all those bot accounts: http://i.imgur.com/UD0pfTv.png (http://i.imgur.com/UD0pfTv.png) ??

And the other thing i would like to add - DARK THEMES are great can we add different background for them ? I can try to manifacture few using PAINT xD

EDIT: Check the option in forum topic and post area that make forum send you back to the topic you're posting on instead kicking you out to the sub-forum area xD (yea I've used SMF A LOT in the past  ;D )

Thanks again.

I would like the purge all those, however we need to wait a bit first
Last logged in date was not converted which means everyone who haven't visited the new site, appear as inactive

So give it a few weeks and we can clear inactive accounts with 0 posts

As for a dark theme, do you mean an entirely new theme that will have to be maintained? or just some css file changes to one/both of the current two themes to make them darker (text color, background, etc)?
There are a lot of custom code in the current 2 themes that i have to find some solution for to make it easier to maintain before any other themes would be added

Also i could have sworn i already checked the option to return you to the current topic, guess it got reset at some point

#Update
Added it to the backlog

Was talking aboit this bacground image : http://farshiverpeaks.com/Themes/inferno_20a/images/custom/body-bg.jpg

I'm using one of the Themes you provided for the forum: Inferno (red) and those 2 charrs just dont fit the theme at all and make whole forum look ugly.

Just wondering.
Ive had an account on the website for quite a while but only started using it after I started commanding.

Yesterday I did the Authentication thing so I could see the entire forum.
But also yesterday when I got home I found out there had been attempts to log onto my account from different IP ranges.
So i quickly removed the authentication app and changed my information etc.

Since like 20:00 Dutch time last night I lost all access to the forum again.

It might just be a coincidence but ofc I was not pleased to see attempts to steal my account.
Is this authentication thing here to stay?
Title: Re: Welcome to Our New Home
Post by: Shoarmapapa on April 15, 2015, 07:48:09
I just re-authenticated by logging into gw2 first, then accepting the app.
Ill keep an eye out to see if anything goes wrong and I'll keep you updated.

Post by: Mirraxus on April 15, 2015, 08:20:50
To be honest dansker will be able to answer this a lot better than I can, however I'm pretty sure the 'app' you authorise is the website and all you're doing is telling anet that it's ok to send it some (limited) account info. So all it sends is the game username eg. Olecas.9430 or whatever, current world id and some other stuff I can't remember but it certainly doesn't send us any possible way to access your account.

Could it narrow it down in a sense that someone may be able to see your email and guess that its the one you use for gw2 then yeah I suppose, but if you hide your email (as yours is) then people would have to hack website to get the email in the first place and assuming its the one you use for gw2 as forum account and gw2 can use separate emails and still be linked, they would then have to try and get past whatever security measures the game has as well.

I mean the effort they'd have to go to just in order to find your email to make an attempt at hacking your account from this authentication process is so stupidly high that it'd be completely pointless for them to even try. Sorry I've waffled on a bit but yeah it's very safe.

Thanks for the reply. If anything happens I will keep you updated.

Ive got everything pretty secure as we speak. Gonna have to check this pc @ work. This is where I ran the authentication to begin with. Cause if they got in from here im gonna have to have a serious talk with the security team.

I can say that there is nothing on the site that will allow us to get access to your account login information

However you don't have to trust me on that, you can verify for yourself

First lets look at the information you give us

Quote
/v2/account currently gets you four basic pieces of information.
  • The user has a GW2 account
  • User

Im not saying you're hacking me or anything or I would not have authenticated again.
Just needed to disconnect anything I had authorized on my acc.

Just started a new job and yesterday was also the first time I logged on to my GW2 via work computer.
So at the moment im checking out if this pc is compromised.
I just noticed weird Chinese ip ranges trying to logon to my account.
So just wanted to check and see if this issue had occured for other people as well.

NP i just made the post a little detailed in case i have to answer a similar question like this later :)

Anyway i should probobly give you the standard recommendation of changing your password (even though i never follow that advice myself XD )

I suggest you to use "Google Authenticator" linked to your GW2 account. It's very safe... :)

Already using it mate, thats what gave me the message someone tried to log in but could not verify the google code.
Immediately changed my pass etc.

I (also) just had to authenticate again.

But I do think that's from a change they have made... I remember reading something about it in the official forums.

^Yeah, such messages first showed up a few months ago. But if the bad grammar isn't a giveaway already, then the missing anet-logo as well as the text that says that this message was sent by another player (and not by anet) should make it obvious that it's a phishing attempt.


Edit: That aside; it doesn't really belong into this thread.
