First, thanks to @STAFF_Ethan for the status update and @STAFF_John for being actively part of the community. Hopefully all our staff members remain active in the community as the game comes to launch/beta.
Now I believe that although the staff tend to be fairly active pre-launch, it’s hard to see what the staff say, and as a player just coming into the forums, it doesn’t seem like there’s any staff activity when there is.
To solve that, I suggest adding a “Dev Tracker”.
An example of a dev tracker on another discourse forum is here, it looks like this on the top menu:
And when you go there, you’ll come to this page:
Obviously this can be changed to Staff Tracker, or something similar, but it should definitely be done in some way. This can be done with 0 plugins based on this thread:
But for simplicity, that thread also offered an alternate solution, which is with a plugin available here:
You can pretty much find our staff/mod/dev tracker here:
https://forum.treeofsavior.com/groups/moderators
Something like this?
register_custom_html(extraNavItem: "<li><a href='/groups/moderators'>Mod Tracker</a></li>")
It just needs to be linked to the top.
