Discord Update Thread

[AzraelRPG]

So, since Discord itself is still in active Beta, I feel the need to share some updates that pop up for me, since I'm the server owner, so everyone can know how to navigate these changes as well. Also, this will be a thread that will be for both discussion and be used as an update log of channel changes, thus Moderators and Admins fill be able to fill out too if they make changes. The only exceptions are changes to the Admin Table and staff offices, as those do not affect The Bullshifters community as a whole. 

So here is the first update report that I got via pop up from logging into Discord today:

General Updates:

June 3rd

• Brazillian Servers are now live! Switch your voice region to Brazil for the lowest latency if you're in... Brazil.
  
• CPU usage reduced on OSX and iOS. An apple a day keeps your memory sharp.
• Unplugging or plugging the last input device on the computer would cause audio input to no longer work. Keyword would.
  
• Appearance Settings now appear prettier!

June 2nd

• Two Factor Authentication (2FA) is the best way to keep your account secured. Opt-in to upgrade your locks from bronze to diamond in User Settings -> Security. Learn more in this fancy blog post.
• Optionally Require 2FA for server moderators. This is the best way to keep your server safe. Turn this on and it'll require any user with an admin style permission to have 2FA setup on their account. If they don't, they'll temporarily be stripped of powers until they set it up.
• IP Location Lockout protects your account when you log in to Discord from an IP address you have never used before if you have verified your e-mail address. Upgrade your account to use 2FA security and this will be disabled.
• Vine & Soundcloud links now embed in text chat. Embrace the media.
  
• Seriously Faster Startup time. We smushed the amount of data required to launch Discord into a teeny tiny speck.
  

Missed An Update?

• In-Game Overlay: Playing the crap out of Overwatch? Bastion is a PITA. Use the Discord Overlay to coordinate Widowmaker snipes better. Turn it on in User Settings -> Overlay. We made a ridic video too.
• Discord Mobile is the Hot Pocket to Discord Desktop's pepperoni pizza. Grab the app for Android or iOS and keep up with your server anywhere there is a microwave.
• Airhorn Solutions was a hilarious April Fools joke. Until it wasn't. Add the bot to your server and get horning.
• Server Sorting is awesome. Check it out! by popular request. Simply drag & drop a server icon to reorder it.
  
• Voice Channel Limits for when you don't want friends creeping on your strategies. Just limit your channel to five (or three, or ten, or ninety-nine) people and squelch the espionage before it starts. By popular request.
  

Bug Fixes:

• Muting yourself while in a capped voice channel no longer rudely expels you from the channel.
• Channel lists render lazily now and should perform much better in large servers.
• Context Menu submenu's are properly aligned and reachable.
• Exiting a fullscreen'd youtube video no longer screws up your scroll position.
  
• [iOS] Voice channel user limits can be changed.
  
• [iOS] Major performance improvements resulting in less battery usage.
  
• [iOS] Servers are now shown in their sorted order.
  
• [Android] Servers are now shown in their sorted order. Yay.
  
• [Android] Problems with voice connections in larger groups are fixed.

We're Still Cranking:

• Communities have wanted to audit moderator activities for a while... the new Server Audit Logs feature will enable just that!
• Progress on the Linux client continues and it's almost ready for prime time! If you want it now check Google. :-)
• Phase 2 of the friends list (1 on 1 and group calls/chat) is on deck.
• Sometimes you want to call out a message for everyone to see in a channel. Get your thumbtacks ready, because message Pinning is coming!
  
• Search your message history for keywords or to find previously uploaded files like Sherlock riding a water buffalo.
  
• Tell us what you want to see at feedback.discordapp.com
  
• P.S. The world needs more heroes.

As well, this week I added two new voice channels for other games, thanks to a suggestion by soilworker . So I added the two most popular games a group of us have been interested in. General NFS and General DOOM.

Let me know what you guys think and if there are any suggestions for channels

Added an Overwatch voice and chat channels since there seemed to be quite a few people that play the game from yesterday's interaction with fellow crew members during the update.
