Topic: Upgrades Throughout August/September

Head's up. The forums will be rapidly upgrading versions in the coming weeks. Just did one this morning. Things may break. Let me know. Thanks!

Where's the link to access our PMs ? It seems like it disappeared. In fact, there doesn't seem to be any way to access the PM system anymore.

Ah, yes, I see that now. I'll check for an upgrade to the PM system later today.

I noticed the banner at the top is different. Unless I'm just behind on these things and hadn't noticed before. But I like it.

Miba, it's new and throughout all areas of the site now.

Just finished a major, 2-hour upgrade. Many things are back and the spam sign-up problem should be gone now.

You asked to mention the odd things. Might be just a detail, but there seem to be smileys missing, some of them don't appear as before.

Terra, good catch. Which ones did you try or find missing?

I have it working right now with some further improvements (i.e. noses not requires).

:), :-),=), :|, =|, :(, =(, :D, :-D, :o, :O, ;), :/, :P, :lol:, :mad:, :rolleyes:, :cool:

Karma seems to be down, but that's not necessarily a bad thing :P

Nice, they really all seem fine now. I had a PM filled with many of them and all I could see were stretched yellow faces. They all seem to be working now.

Are they supposed to work in the chat room too? We can make tests.

wow are some of those smileys new?

Fett_II, no. Some are just less common to type, but that's the full set (with duplicates where variations are allowed, like smileys with and without noses.)

I was just in my message box, and I didn't see the 'delete more then one message' option.  Is it missing?  or was it moved and I'm just not seeing it?

Ralin, it used to be there? Even I have to delete one by one.

There's twice a link to "Messages" on the bar.

Index, User List, *Messages*, Rules, Search, Profile, *Messages*, LogOut

Wow I hadn't even noticed until you mentioned it...

Fixed.

Oh yeah, it WAS there up until a few days ago.  Was sort of obscure, well under the list of messages in a lighter font on the lower left.  I last used it..........like last friday I think

Thank you for making the "edit", "delete" and "quote" links text again. The pictures were really confusing cause I could never remember which was which.

yeah, i always used to forget that the yellow flag somehow meant edit.

Miba and Fett_II, glad that helps! Hopefully having two indicators helps overall, too.

Ralin, yeah, everything got upgraded. I'll see where that link went; I keep back-up copies before upgrades.

Not a biggy

Everything else looks really sharp!  Love the pic that'a always above All the pages now; such a great shot, nice to always have it up now.

Ralin, cool. It needed more Boba Fett. I'll also rotate in new ones, to keep it fresh and fun.

Sounds good!

And btw, I noticed last night that the Rep/Karma meter is off

On the Karma thingie, I'm only seeing it for certain people. In this thread, for example, I only see it for Mel, FettII, Terra, and myself.

And I think the idea of rotating the picture at the top once in a while is a good one. Though I do like this picture.

that's the way it was for me when I first noticed it, but now NOBODY has Reps for me.

Perhaps Karma is not the thing for you...

I meant from my perspective clown boy  :P

Hmm check your Profile, it might be switched off in your options...

Where is the option?  I was in every one of my Profile sections I couldn't see it.  Sorry if it's a stupid question...

Hey just noticed the little changes.

The whole "NEW:"  extra little thing seems kind of redundant to me.  Same with the deleted sign.  Isn't that what the blue dot and the grey out were for?

Sorry just my humble opinion.

Sev, I'll keep working on that. The closed thread didn't have any indicator before, though.

It was the "grey out" of the title that I was referring too.

Gotcha. I'll see about that too.

Yeah, I saw a grey-out on the closed threads before too. And new threads were bright blue. (I have the Jango theme I think)

I don't mind the "New" signs.

But I don't like the minus sign. It's too eye catching. And why draw the eye to a closed thread?
