Site Updates

[Mahdi]

I'm using mozilla and just saw the word "Quote".

[Edric O]

Pretty much everyone there aside from Taiajam is a spambot.

I have undertaken a great purge of recently registered members, and deleted about 40 spambot accounts. They have also been IP banned, so they won't come back from the same address ever again.

This has probably been mentioned before, but when you use hidden text, hyperlinks are visible.

[Mahdi]

Gtting really sick of the bug that whenever a message reaches a certain length the box won't scroll down so I can't see what I'm typing.

[Khan]

If you get chrome you can expand the box seemingly indefinitely.

[Mahdi]

Using both Firefox and internet explorer, niether of them help.  It' beena  problem for quite some time.

[Khan]

Chrome may be the way to go then.

[SandChigger]

No probs with Safari. MmmmmMac. :)

[Gobalopper]

I you using the quick reply thing? Or just the regular reply page? I've never seen that problem before.

[Andrew]

I havn't noticed any problems on Firefox 3.5 on ubuntu.

I you using the quick reply thing? Or just the regular reply page? I've never seen that problem before.

It occurs whenever I quote somebody.

[Kiyouta]

Chrome may be the way to go then.

I'd say! I have Chrome taps. I think they're smashing.

Someone has started several spam threads with pornographic content.  Would it be possible to have some kind of system where new users are put 'on trial' and are not allowed signatures, or allowed to post links?

[Andrew]

That will be in place when new 1.2.0 forum software released.

I sent duniverse spam to dungeon, forgot to remove spam link/image, if a super mod wouldn't mind doing that so when people visit dungeon the website doesn't get any link hits.

[Dunenewt]

When is this software released?  Do you know what kind of system we will use?

Release candidate 2 was put out November 2009. So I dunno if they would put out another RC or not before final.

Forget where it said moderating messages from new people, but I mentioned it before in past couple of this thread pages with link.

[Dunenewt]

Would it be possible to have news posted in the Dune Editing News board to be published on the front page?

[Andrew]

Just me or is the forum layout changed a crapload?

[SandChigger]

A megaload, actually.

I like it, I guess, not that anyone asked, but there seem to be a shiteload of images that didn't get loaded; right-clicking "open image in new window" gets me:

The requested URL /Themes/fed2k/images/filter.gif was not found on this server.

/Themes/fed2k/images/post/xx.gif

/Themes/fed2k/images/smflogo.gif

/Themes/fed2k/images/upshrink.gif

etc etc etc

Mind you, there were always a bunch missing before as well, but their absence wasn't as noticeable, so I figured I was coming out ahead by not having to load them! :P

[Andrew]

Back to normal now...

EDIT:

broken again.

[Gobalopper]

Should be fixed now. Our host moved the site to a different server and I think that was the cause of the problem.

[D2k Sardaukar]

Small visual thing.  :-X

The smiley's have pieces of white around the edges. I think the smiley's are old and you can better re-download them and save as .PNG. With pngcrunch you can get them even smaller. If it's too much work, just give a name/link to where I can find them and I will convert and crunch them for you.  ;D

[Dunenewt]

Which smilie set?  Mine are appearing fine.

[D2k Sardaukar]

These:

[Dunenewt]

I think we should use the following smilies:
