(My PM inbox does actually work here; I was just spectacularly busy before.)

Every time I've tried to PM you, either here or on my main account, it throws “Failure! Message could not be sent to Rhetorica.” ☹

quoting Rhetorica, Kelatetía: Dis, Major Belt 1:
Weird and weird. The cause: I was trying to speed up the forums; it turns out we've been accumulating huge heaps of empty database entries whenever someone read a forum post. Ugh. So I changed it to a delete command, which apparently (for some terrible reason) had a permissions check in it, one that apparently doesn't work very well. Not a feature I'd actually used before.

I've removed that permissions check (as it was inconsistent with how other live data manipulation functions work), and probably fixed the typo that was causing it in the first place.

Yay I can log back in now on my main account

(Also I hope there's a public release of Cadre sometime soon; I think it would work well for the Safir Alliance's forum, etc.)

Is there a way to move languages from a family to a subfamily?

There should be a move feature, yeah. I will see if I can do this in Octavia; it seems eminently possible.

That said, for the time being, it is possible to move pages already by using the page setup controls.

Okay, there is now a convenient move button for languages and families. Individual articles probably won't benefit too much from this because they can be child pages of, well, basically everything, so for the time being I haven't added this feature to those.

I also fixed the table mode rendering for Universe Lists, so if you have any of those, they should finally show up on your universe page. They're still interestingly broken in other ways, though.

Fixed an, uh, small issue where moving pages wouldn't change their group to their parent's group. Oops.

IIRC Halian never gave his alt an avatar after I fixed the underlying problem. Those are just, ah, casualties. I'll edit their user entries so the site no longer mistakenly believes they uploaded avatars.

Followup: after looking at the data behind Halian's alt I'm more inclined to think those are Gravatar failures. Will look into it more when I can.

Perhaps is this computer, perhaps is something in the air, but after logging in I can't see if I have unread posts.

I mean, I see no notifications in the main page

No, the same thing is true for me, and has been the case for... I dunno, a few weeks?

And lo, I screwed something up in one of the language primitives. Still looking into exactly what I did.

Might have it solved now. Might have made it worse! Let me know if you see more than one unread post; that means it's working fully.

Hmm, for some reason this page has «(empty page object)» on top of it and the banner image doesn't appear.

Fixed. The page was missing its group, for whatever reason.

When I edit dictionary entries I see a new category now, 'reverse terms'. In some cases you can find there the same words entered on 'definition', put in a column. Sometimes the full definition, sometimes not. There are cases when that doesn't happen and the category box appears empty.

This is... sort of a feature I forgot to mention; as the name implies, it's meant to be an index of your language sorted by words in the language used for definitions, so you can have a two-way bilingual dictionary. It will be auto-populated if your definition starts with single words separated by commas, semicolons, or periods.

Here's Lilitika's, for comparison: http://memory.rhetori.ca/?id=310&mode=reverse

The key and unique benefit is that you can enter multiple words here on different lines, and the word will show up under multiple headwords in the reverse view. Handy if your native language is full of common synonyms, or if you want to clarify that a concept maps unevenly onto near-synonyms in your native language. The definition is shown in the reverse view to (hopefully) make it easier to see at a glance when word relationships might be asymmetric.

If you click the link to view entries without reverse keywords (e.g. for pre-Perà), you'll be shown a UI that will help you in identifying the words that have definitions that are unparseable. This feature is not compatible with the importer's mass-overwrite feature (as that currently deletes entries entirely) but the importer can include reverse keywords with new entries.
