Introducing our new forums! (Patreon)

We've been hard at work the last month to bring the long-missed official Aether forums back to life.  It's been a long and treacherous journey, but we're finally here thanks to the support of our patrons!

What's new?

Some of the most frequent complaints we received on our previous forum was that the page was slow, clunky, and had minimal mobile support. We're happy to say that we believe we've kicked these issues out of the ballpark for good! 

The new forums now have snappy mobile support, while keeping all the same features as the desktop version. Furthermore, desktop users will also see the drastic speed increases we've made.

Along with performance and mobile support, we've brought in a ton of new features. Here's a quick list of what features you can look out for.

Emoji support (using the :emoji: format, similar to Discord)

A much improved editor

Native notifications for whatever device or browser you use

Automatic video embeds

Lots of profile customization, from header images to short bios

The ability to tag and search posts

Improved private messaging

Email notifications

The ability to mute notifications (Do not Disturb)

... and support for over 30 languages

Additionally, all currently pledging patrons will receive a special Patreon rank on our forums, which gives you a sweet flair on all your posts. You should receive your rank within a few hours as long as the email addresses on your Patreon and forum account match. If not, please open a private message with us on Patreon so we can get it sorted for you as soon as possible!

We hope the wait has been worth it, and can't wait to see what our community makes of the new forums.
