unfortunately there is a lacking in the abilities to make persona adding a feature to have multiple would be plenty of usefulother than that most thing went smoothly sure the app is very compact and very barebur for an app its ok
Developer Response
Got it, two new development requirements have been added:1. Multiple Persona: A user can create multiple personas and switch between them as appropriate for different scenarios.2. Chat Page Polish: Optimize the chat interface for an improved user experience.
Login requirement is counterintuitive.

The whole point of sillytavern is to be offline and local, requiring a login to use more than one chat and requiring signing in as a guest to use the app at all, kind of just nullifies the entire point of using silly tavern and keeping it local…..
Developer Response
I agree with your idea and thank you for your feedback. We will remove the current authorization login module in the next version. As for cross-platform rights synchronization, we will explore other solutions.

LLM configuration stopped working . Also won’t accept in app LLMs either. App is essentially useless.

Dear user, every new user receives a free request quota from the system. If this quota is exhausted, you will need to subscribe or top up. We have carefully checked the backend service status for the day, and it was available. I suspect the unavailability was due to your account running out of free quota. Please feel free to top up or subscribe to continue enjoying exclusive member benefits.

Global Prompts and Prefill is needed to bypass censorship. Without it, I can't do anything.
Developer Response
Hey Iwlanuel, v1.2.2 is online now. You can find the `Global Prompts` in the chat page with any one character, go to Settings in the top right corner, then System-Main Prompt. After editing, you don't need to restart for the changes to take effect, it works automatically now.
