athanasios Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Good News!If this hosting will be on a permanent basis may I suggest to merge some subforums like 'general'?At ubuntuforums.org they are implementing stop forum spam ip ban list. Maybe this would help with the spammers.Completely useless. Most don't have a static IP and anyone can create a new email address in a snap. Starting to block IPs will lead to blocking almost all IPs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragoon Knight Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 [colour=#005FFF]Viewing new content is now a little confusing, as these new "The Terminal" boards share the same name for their General Discussion board... namely "General". There's no way, at a glance, to tell which is which.While I'm sure that the F9 Diesel is far too powerful for us mere mortals, I don't necessarily care. :P[/colour] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way, at a glance, to tell which is which.While I'm sure that the F9 Diesel is far too powerful for us mere mortals, I don't necessarily care. :P[/colour]Hmm, maybe rename terminal General and add a prefex such as "T General" or something. Temporarily can figure out by hovering over "General" (in view new content page) and http://forum.dune2k.com/index.php?/forum/6-general/ 6-general is fed2khttp://forum.dune2k.com/index.php?/forum/44-general/ 44-general is terminalEDIT:oh, I see, terminal has 3 "General" boards. Yah, that could get confusing.Maybe:RT3General - Railroad tycoon 3 general boardRT2General - Railroad tycoon 2 general boardRTGeneral - Railroad tycoon general board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athanasios Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 URGENT: I noticed that many posts in the Terminal are duplicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord J Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Just some weirdness: I went to "Manage Friends" to send a message to one of my friends and when I clicked the mail icon next to their name it tried to send the message to me. I basically just had to click on their name and send the message through the button under their picture. I'm not complaining, exactly, it's just silly that clicking the mail icon tries to send a message to the user who's doing the sending.

MrFlibble Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Oww, the PM messenger turns out to be even more messed up than I thought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlibble Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Another forum I'm visiting uses the same software as the new FED2k, and it switched to a default skin similar to ours, so I've been able to make some comparisons. First off, the overly broad margins I've complained about earlier seem to be a standard issue (at least, I have them in both forums), but I'm more or less okay with them now. The only noticeable deficiency of the forum look so far is the screwed-up menu in the forum header (see attachment). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athanasios Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Just to add that their implementation is pretty bad. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlibble Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I guess that's the general problem with this particular forum skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 Yeah, I'm not saying it is the best forum skin but it was cheap and works ok. We could get a custom skin for around $200-300 if anyone is willing to start taking donations. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Going on a trip. Will be back Sunday night. So I won't be around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athanasios Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Can we not edit the skin and adjust it? Anyway the font colors are OK. Only we should have a bit brighter backgrounds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlibble Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Only we should have a bit brighter backgrounds.I totally agree with that.BTW, I just noticed that I am able to vote for my own posts (that plus/minus option in the bottom right corner). Surely it's not supposed to be that way? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exatreide Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 The main page hasn't been updated in nearly a year with any News? Surely theirs some stuff going on? Makes the site look dead if the main post hasnt been updated in months 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlibble Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Dunenewt the FED2k anchorman hasn't been around lately, hence no news updates. There hasn't been much going on in the world of Dune, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Mr. Flibble your inbox is full.Also a suggestion to others to make sure your inbox or whatever is not completely full so you can receive messages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlibble Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Aww, sorry, I just don't have the time to clean up that mess. It's not simply full (100 out of 100 messages), it's overloaded with about 180 messages because after the switch to the new forum engine, all (or most) of my messages in both inbox and outbox that I've deleted have come back. Many of the messages have sentimental value, and I'm sort of reluctant to delete them. I've discovered an option to send a copy of a "conversation" (now that individual messages are organized in conversations) to my e-mail address, but that also takes some time. I'll try to fix this as soon as possible, but that would require quite some time to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Icon next to username. I know mine's overloaded, and I can't be bothered doing something about it. Not until there's a checkbox system to delete more than one at a time, that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Odd, what skin are you using? Certainly not the black version. Go to bottom left of forum and change to Fed2k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
