Bring an Alt, Ping the Right Owls

Grab your pings any time with /tags

Opt-in pings used to be a one-time question during welcome, so anyone who skipped it was stuck. Now anyone can run /tags to get a private menu of every ping the guild offers, tick to start getting one, untick to stop.

LFG posts now tag the people who actually want to come

Looking for a group used to post into the void with no ping. Now LFG posts @mention the opt-in tags from Settings, Tags, so posting a PvP group nudges the PvP crowd and a dungeon nudges the dungeon folk, and members sign up for just the pings they care about.

Sign up on your main, but tell Hootus you could bring an alt

Flip on Bring an alt under Settings, Features and every raid post gains a Bring an alt button. Sign up on your healer as usual, then tap it to say you could swap to your tank if the night needs one, picking from your own alts or any character you punch in, and the offer shows up in the planner for leaders to build around.

Alt offers get their own perch on the raid post

When you offered to bring an alt, it used to cram onto the same line as your main, easy to misread as a separate signup. Now the offer sits on its own tidy line right under you, marked with a little arrow, so leaders can see at a glance it is your swap option.

Bot health checks your roles, not just Hootus, and spots messy overrides

The Bot health permission check now confirms the roles you set up for a channel, members, raiders and PUGs, can actually reach it, not just Hootus, and fixes land on the role instead of piling up per-person grants. It also flags channels carrying one-off per-member overrides, with a confirm-first cleanup.

Raid and LFG threads stop vanishing after a quiet day

Raid and LFG threads posted from Discord were set to tuck away after 24 hours of quiet, so a raid set a few days out would hide before anyone could chat in it. They now stay open for a full week, the same as the ones the planner and scheduler make.
