Forums working?

[Jeff Westover]

All,

We had a bit of a technical fiasco late last night and it resulted in some unplanned changes. Just wondering how everything is working today. I've had the forums back up for about six hours and I expect messages or emails saying this didn't work or that didn't work but I've received nothing. It seems to be okay where I'm at but I tend to see things a little differently due to my admin access.

Any problems? Notice anything?

Jeff

This morning around 7am CT everything was taking forever and a day to load, but it seems okay now. The only oddity I've noticed so far is the green bullets and font associated with posts turning red after you click them... but not with any real consistency.

[Jeff Westover]

Ok...I've still got some little things to tweak. Why don't we give it a day or so and compile a list. I wasn't trying to do anything special last night but it turned into quite the overhaul. I think we're going to have some things especially when looking at any page that says "forumdisplay" in the URL.

[dominick]

Hmm. I haven't noticed anything yet, but I'll be sure to let you know if I come across anything.

[dominick]

I noticed that the banner at the top no longer takes you to the forum main page.

[e_xander]

Nothing strange from someone who isn't a mod or admin! :))

I've noticed that the fratistat seems to be misfiring when it gets close to the pinson rod...All it'll need is a tweak with a grappler wrench and she'll fly like always...

[dominick]

You guys are talking jibberish. The kinetic overthrust rod burned up because the Kanützen valve stuck open. Amateurs.

[dvdguy]

[dominick]

People are going to start thinking we three are well acquainted with Captain Morgan of the good ship Cuba Libre.

[dvdguy]

Little early for that, isn't it? cheesy

[Jinglebelle]

I'm going to have to use that one... how funny!!

[dvdguy]

just teasing really, Im at work. So its wishful thinking:treeguy:

[dominick]

I think that emoticon has a strong resemblance to a Muppet.

... and in that case, I'll make mine a double for you!

[dvdguy]

lucky dog
i think i finished all the beer yesterday too

BAH

[dominick]

I've never really liked beer. I enjoy a draft cider, though.

[dominick]

Sorry to get back on-topic, but I noticed something else that was missing: the top posters this month thing underneath the "Welcome to our newest user" thing at the top.

[dvdguy]

beer make mike happy

[dominick]

As soon as I locate some lime juice I'll be making that aforementioned Cuba Libre.

Everything seems to be working fine for me. I love the new emotiocons! :))

[SnowMaiden1018]

Everything seems fine to me but Im still trying to figure out the emoticon stuff lol..so far i got :D oh and this one I think is funny cuz its a wink ;) but its comes up as lil guy waving a leaf at me!

[SnowMaiden1018]

and :( and :) but I can not for the life of me figure out that lil owl!! and its so cute!!

[dominick]

Fixed it for you, snowmaiden. You should see all the emoticons now.

[SnowMaiden1018]

OH WOW! Thank you! lol Rudolph too? HOLY COW! But this is BY FAR the absolute cutest thing ever :))

[dominick]

Always glad to help.

Anyone else who can't see all the emoticons should speak up so I can fix it.

[SnowMaiden1018]

to be honest, I didnt even know there was a thing to the side where you could pick one you wanted to use, I thought you just had to type the symbols in and it would show up--which of course it does to that too--but oh good im so glad i dont have to keep tryin to figure them out!

[dominick]

It's a problem that some of the imported members were having with their profile settings. Somehow they got set to show the basic, stripped down text editor instead of the standard one.

[megarrick]

I'm ashamed to say that I haven't been around since everything has changed. Can someone tell me where all the emoticons went (reindeer, smilies, elves, Welcome Sign)? And also - no more pictures in signatures?

[dominick]

The post just above yours explains what happened with the emoticons. You should see them now.

[megarrick]

TA-DA! I feel like a moron! Ha Ha!! Sorry about that!:nice:

[dominick]

No problem. I'm not sure what you mean about the signature pictures; I still see the option to add one in the area to edit your signature.

[megarrick]

I'm probably just doing it wrong

[dominick]

If you need help, that's what I'm here for. Drop me a PM.

[megarrick]

you probably don't remember but when i first joined, i had to get you to help me with this very problem. thanks!

[dominick]

I sure do remember. I remember a picture of a leg lamp...

[megarrick]

hahahhahhahahhaha yea thats me, ↓ notice the quote!

[dominick]

Oh, I noticed.

:D

[megarrick]

I was failing to click "Insert Signature Picture"...sometimes I just don't pay attention!

[dvdguy]

only sometimes? I do it about 90% of the time

[e_xander]

only sometimes? I do it about 90% of the time
