Site Updates

[erjin999]

It is Google (and other search engines use similar bots) cataloguing Fed2k...actually, the whole of Dune2k automatically, using "bots".

I have been having some problems with the forum lately. I cant use smilies...I just click them and nothing happens. And whenver I push the "post" button the page fails and I have to reload it and then it gives me a warning that somebody has posted while I was making my post but it is really my post.

Is there a reason here or is it just maybe my computer?

The warning that a new person has posted doesn't work for me anymore.

Maybe deleting the cookie for Fed2k might solve your problem.

[Seal89999]

Thanks Andrew! That fixed all my problems....

Back to normal  :)

The Terminal is not working properly (extremely slow to the point of server errors) and Shiroko's FAQ doesn't work.

[erjin999]

The warning that a new person has posted doesn't work for me anymore.

Noticed this for the first time, around the same time things ground to a halt. It used to warn in me pretty red colour about someone posting. Not now  :-

[lowzeewee]

Everything is fine for me...

[Gobalopper]

Forum was upgraded. Let me know of any problems, ones you don't normally have that is. :D

[Acriku]

Don't know if it's been reset, but the threads that I've posted in are not bolded anymore. I'll post and check to see if it works then.

Update: Nope, new post does not bold the thread anymore.

[Gobalopper]

Yep I still have to go back and change that.

Flags on the left hand side don't work.

[erjin999]

For the first time noticed the Notify me of Replies. This was definately not there a few days ago, but I read that it should have been somewhere. I remember this because I thought it sounded like such a handy feature.

Is it new or am I going slightly...whats the word ?.."I dont notice things".

[Gobalopper]

Flags should work again, forgot to upload them.

[Andrew]

I noticed the little "We are currently upgrading forums" page. The icons that identify threads has been improved. The advanced search is improved.

EDIT -And bolded threads works for me.

In the messages (IM) there are little boxes to the left of each message.

The membership map doesn't load properly. In the profile a user can delete himself.

I get it, the star in the icon is for if you have replied to the topic before.

The icons that identify threads has been improved.

I don't like it. Pinned topics no longer have that yellow colour so it's harder to seperate pinned from normal topics. Bring back the old ones! :'(

EDIT: Actually its only because of the new 'new post' icon (the blue one with a bright red centre thingy). So wat do u say Gob?

[Andrew]

I like the update to the main page.

Friends.

How did Fed2k become friends with a russian site?

Did you change the size of th etext on the right and left side of the main page?

In firefox it is small, and in IE it is big (normal for IE).

[Gobalopper]

They are translating some of the site into Russian. And no the text size shouldn't have changed.

[Andrew]

Translating what site to Russian? Or did you mean English?

Because as far as I could tell the site is already in total Russian.

[Gobalopper]

Sorry, translating stuff from FED2k into Russian.

[Andrew]

Does that mean that Fed2k (website) will be avialable in English or Russian(of the users choosing) at some time in the future?

Didn't know there were that many Russians on here (2-3 on membership map), unless you think there are lots of Russians that are into Dune and would be interested in a Fed2k Russian version.

[Gobalopper]

No they are just translating some of the content to put on their site. We don't really have the audience to justify translating this site into a different language.

[erjin999]

There are a lot of Russian speakers, going by what one of those threads was producing.

[Gobalopper]

Well I figure it makes more sense to let a Russian site have the content then try to make this site into a Russian/English/whatever other language you can think of site. They already have the audience and the expertise.

[drahgoon]

what other languages are you translating this site into??? just out off curiosity... leet??? >:D

[Dante]

I see 'notify of replies,' which I don't think was there before... And I can, apparantly, delete my account should I choose. Also, are the thread symbols working? I think one of the threads in PRP is locked (no reply button to be found) but it doesn't show up as locked.
