@clint089 I sincerely appreciate the update. I have like 5 people waiting on this, I might just tell them to manually change their name to include the tag, lol.
Clan Management still down?
Update:
the "new" way to communicate to the server is done, in other terms: we can start fixing the clan-pages
first will be "show all clans" and "show single clan", after that is released we take a break and look if the other pages are even worth to "fix" or just refactor them completely.
Example:
- Clan invitations are invalidated on server restart (that will happen often in the next time)
- The code is not testable, so we have to check it manually every time, or miss if something breaks.
- complicated to maintain due old code that can't be understand easily
- error-management -> some errors are not show to the user (invite did not work etc.)
- some feature wishes that would help the clan experience
this is a hard decision, but i think "refactoring" so it can be used and maintained is better than "just" quick-fix it.
If there is someone, who is willing to quick-fix it, pull-request on the repository are welcome (you can also ping me in discord if you need help)
Looking at the current situation, i think clan invite/kick will be available in about 7 days, but don't hate me if not.
@clint089 I realize that FAF clans are a very small part of the ecosystem. When I started mine, it was more for the laughs, but has since grown into a significant community (much to my surprise). That said, I am in favor of the 'slow but better long-term' refactoring approach.
@Immortal-D released a test-version for the new clan management on https://www.faforever.xyz/
you and your friends could test it there (usernames are the same and PW for all accounts is "foo")
would be nice if you could give me some feedback and maybe find bugs.

I happened to be on my lunch break and checked this, lol. I love that searching a name updates as you type, so I can enter partial words for those with complicated names. The 'update/description' menu does not work. I'm kicked back with 'Error! Please add a description for your clan'. Page navigation works fine, I have not tested kick yet.
Lastly, some feature requests. I would like to see others members able to create an invitation link, possibly setup roles that mirror my Discord server. Having separate text blocks for rules-about-links would also help fill out the page and keep it organized.
That's all I have for now, thank you for this (back to work for me)

there is already a ticket for that, but this will not be implemented fast https://github.com/FAForever/website/issues/372

The message is misleading... did you go over 1k characters? i'll create ticket to update the message

would you provide a simple scribble for that? how should it look and work etc.
You can always create a new ticket for features here: https://github.com/FAForever/website/issues
we will likely release to prod tomorrow, so you can invite members during the WE.
let me know if there are any issues if you do so.
