Gob, what about some "spoiler" function, in order to avoid huge walls of text or too many pictures? A "spoiler" tab appears in the post and if you click it it will open its contents.

nice idea...

[X3M]

That would help me a lot. I have many tldr topics. It might let people read again.

 

Edit: Why post 3 times?

Edit: Why post 3 times?

Must have been some forum interface malfunction, fixed that by deleting the extra posts.

[Gobalopper]

It already has one:
 

This is a spoiler.

 

If you are in the visual editor it is the third button in the top left. And for the basic editor it is

My bad, sorry :D

Server went wonky this morning. Rebooting seems to have fixed the problem.

[Beonid]

Wow, it's been awhile! A question about the Emperor mods you used to host, Gob - they aren't in the Downloads section of the forum, and I couldn't seem to find a thread that said they had been deleted. I don't suppose you have them squirrelled away somewhere?

it was there from yesterday here in plus 5:30GMT... I thought you guys went for an unscheduled shutdown...

I added them to the downloads section, not sure how they got removed:

I haven't filtered the files so that might have more than just Emperor mods.

Maybe this happened a long time ago since I never visit the website.

Goes to duniverse section. No more outdated news page?

[Gobalopper]

Correct. :) Not sure how long it has been now but some time last year.

[Davidu]

Gob, no way to title a spoiler? As in

... ?

[Gobalopper]

Not right now but I think it might be possible, I'll look into it when I get the chance.

 

I've just upgraded the forum software to the latest version. I think the big thing they've worked on in this release are bugs with the post editor. If you have any problems be sure to first clear your cache.

The website is starting to act funny.

[Nyerguds]

Looks like you can't use filenames with spaces in tags. It cuts them off after the first space, unless you specifically replace all spaces with "%20"

[Gobalopper]

I am talking to the hosting company about moving our MySQL server to the same data center as the web server. It looks to be the cause of some of the errors we've been having.

 

Nyerguds can you post an example url inside a [ code ] block so I have an example? Thanks.

[THE AQIB]

for me in the night the forum never works...

hence I was not able to access it for two days...

[THE AQIB]

For me the forum just works on the morning and then b00m "don't responding" :D But now it's just fine.

i get a drive error...

[shai]

Yea, the website was going out this week

[Mahdi]

I found it was down a lot the last couple weeks - the entire site not just the forums.

[Gobalopper]

About a week or two ago they moved the web server to their new data center and that was when the problems started. Now that the database server has been moved as well it should go back to normal. Hopefully. :)

Some new posts to topics are appearing in between previous posts.

[Gobalopper]

Can you provide examples of where it is happening?

A post by katarn8. I got the notification at 12:01 PM (-05:00 time zone) but it says it was posted at 6:56 AM and did not appear until 12:01. This is not the first time I've seen it happen.

[Gobalopper]

So you're saying you got a notification of a new post before the post was visible?

 

If the user is new their first post needs to be approved by a moderator before showing up. This is done to prevent spammers.
