Site Updates

[Timenn]

I hope these icons aren't permament, for they are awful... I can hardly tell the difference between a "hot topic" and a "normal" one, and I can hardly see which threads I posted in, and which ones not.

Maybe this is because I'm viewing the forum right now at an old UNIX terminal, but the forum should be viewable also with lower color settings.

And what was wrong with the old ones?

"but somehwat hard to tell the difference with the colors."

Virtually impossible!

The old folder ones were nice!

[Andrew]

Seconded.

I think the colors need to contrast each other A LOT more.

There also needs to be a legend as to what each icon is. Becuase it is hard to figure out. :-X

[Gobalopper]

No they aren't permanent, well for the next couple days they might be but not long term.

[Timenn]

Just a glitch from some kind of new update?

[SurlyPIG]

Grr...I just lost a huge post because:

"Your session timed out while posting. Please go back and try again."

Which has never happened to me before, even when I wrote longer posts than that.

[Khan]

I know you're annoyed but did you have to double post?

[SurlyPIG]

Gah...when it rains it pours.  The first post I made said I timed out too.

Sorry for that...guess I'll go delete it.

[Timenn]

Are the old icons coming back?

And the "replied" icons on your received and sent IM's?

[Kiyouta]

Gah...when it rains it pours.

[Dunenewt]

Shouldn't the

code

be in the FAQ?

I'm getting that too. Grr.

I remember getting this message, even if I didnt time out. Like I would just write a message like this one and it would take no longer than a minute adn then I would have to write it all again.

So I got in the habit of copy and pasting my messsages just in case I got a mysterious time out for no reason.

[Kiyouta]

I get this message when I try to send a IM:

Database Error

Please try again. If you come back to this error screen, report the error to an administrator.

???

[Inoculator9]

Same for me.

[Dante]

My IMs used to get that... they're working now.

...I think.

[Timenn]

I think that was because Gob updated the IM system. Notice how the "replied" icons have returned...

[thomas]

but it's all messed up I can't send Im's :'(

[Gobalopper]

Was a problem with sending new messages, should be fixed now.

You can, Go to your profile:

http://www.dune2k.com/forum/index.php?action=profile

then account settings on the left side, and change the

Name:

This is the displayed name that people will see.

to whatever you want

[drahgoon]

i found that out right after i posted. i am an idiot

[Andrew]

Thank you for fixing the Rules/FAQ Gob. I found it most annoying for it to be going to its' own page. :)

[Dunenewt]

And he put the code thing in :)

[Andrew]

Is it just me or is Fed2k slow yesterday and today? (mostly today)
