Site Updates Reply #3000

Useless, but important.

Did the top of the forum get a grey background? I know something is different.

Looks good. :)

[erjin999]

Looks terrible, the bar along the top which has our names and how many messages has been set to about 800 pixels, which now stands out soooo much. Was way better before.  :-

Well I liked it before it got all the yellow lines. Best update to the top bar was the 'Back to FED2k' link, not that I ever go there, but I know some people like that Duney stuff. You shudda left it at that!

I'm not gonna kick through walls about it. I do like what you've done with the Atreius theme, now that the grey border lines are grey, but this doesnt seem to apply to the main discussion index :(. I would use the theme but when there are new posts in each forum the title turns blue, the same blue as the other forum titles - can you change this? Generally the index itself seems a bit cramped and packed together. I remember there were greater gaps between lines and text before.

Also, why is it that the emotions bar on post reply/new IM doesn't contain all the emotions available as shown on the FAQ page? There only seem to be two missing, I'm sure if you included them people would appreciate the new emotion of afro and smug-look-type-thing.

I don't understand, 800 pixels wide??

It is the same as before. Except with the background color changed and the orange borders.

Sorry, you are right at the stage you are showing in your picture. I should have mentioned it only does that before logging in.

I hope it isnt only my computer/browser...then again I hope it is so I can reformat and fix it  :P

Also, while I am talking about it, as someone who logs in everytime he visits (deliberately) I used to click the New Replies link on the top right, and would then login and go straight to my New Replies. Now I have to click once extra !

There is no New Replies button before logging in.  :'( Silly and pathetic even, which is why I never mentioned it before...sort of combining moans, as it were...

[Kiyouta]

Btw, for those affected by the right-aligned IM prob on some browsers, you can just add {left} and {/left} (square brackets of course) to the beginning and end of your message respectively to force text to be left aligned for the reader. I plan to do this from now on. :P

[Dunenewt]

Are you sure it works?

Edit:Oh wow, it does as well.

[Seal89999]

Very funny mr yeti.......now change it back. What tinkering did you do to get "the traitor" to replace M A H D I's name?

I was lucky I caught it before anybody could read it.... :)

[Seal89999]

LMAO!  mahdi

M A H D I you are a blast man! 

[Mahdi]

I know.  Although it is nice to hear it sometimes....

[nemafakei]

Sardaukar, that'd been there for the better part of a week. I think it's quite clear that everyone recognises the so-called-Μahdi as a traitor, and does not notice if he is referred to as such.

Long live Gοbalopper!

[Andrew]

I was confused all week long. :(

[Seal89999]

???

Excuse me for not knoticing the retarted prank......

[exatreide]

your excused.

[lowzeewee]

tyrant, check your IM inbox.

What's up with 'g0b'(replace 0 with o) being replaced with 'tyrant'? How can the captain and goalkeeper of my Fed2k FC team be a tyrant? We are a respectable football club! >:( Oh btw, I am back to try to raise Fed2k back from the dead. Like Leeds United, I'll try to drag you guys back up.

[Kiyouta]

Why is the forum so slow these days? Is it still being throttled?

[Gobalopper]

Not sure how this will affect the load times but the database server is now running on a different server until we complete the move to the new server.

If you find things being to slow you can try the following address:

http://dune2k.dreamhosters.com/

But it is only a temporary address.

[Andrew]

It is much, much faster at that address.

Although you will need to sign in.

EDIT - Seems gob changed the site to the "new" dreamhosters site because of increased speed.

So no need to click on the link, as it is already the link. :P

[Gobalopper]

Well it will depend on how fast your DNS updates. dune2k.com won't point to the new server for everyone right away.

[Dragoon Knight]

Oh the speedy goodness!  Is it safe to be using the 'Forever' login time length for the temporary site address?  Or should we not bother until the new server is up?

Either way, I shall be using the Dreamhosters URL until the shiny new server is on the go.  The speed difference is phenomenal. :)

[Gobalopper]

Well the temporary address is the new server too, either will work.

If you are visiting dune2k.com/forum and notice the text "new server" at the bottom then you know your DNS has updated.

[Andrew]

I like how there have been 7 news updates in February alone. Better than none for 4 months :P.

[Marcel71]

I have an idea, which is from another forum..

On that forum you can give "recomendations" to a certain post.

So that you do not have to comment on a post: I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THAT.

But just click on "Recomendation" and then there is a 1 behind it.

And for each click a person makes there will be added a number.

(Each person can only recommend a message 1 time)

And on that forum when u keep you mouse over the persons name, you can see how much recomandations he got in total and how much he gave away...

See for example:

http://www.iex.nl/forum/topic.asp?forum=226&topic=1040449&Page=1

Here i got 5 "Aanbevelingen" (Recomendations) And when u hoover the mouse above my nick, you can see the totals...

Just an idea for here....

[erjin999]

Would have to be supported in SMF (this forum software) or via a module/pluggin.

I think your site wanted me to login to see it.
