The generic "we did something to the forum that broke it" thread
« on: June 03, 2008, 01:28:14 AM »
To anybody that tried to access the forum for a couple hours, my apologies as it was down. No thanks to an unexpected error, (whee syntax!) it was stuck in upgrade mode for a long time, and it was one step that needed to finish before it could complete itself. Things should be back up to normal now. :happy:

I fixed up a few things that got broken during the installation. If anyone comes across anything that doesn't appear to the functioning correctly please let one of us know.

This is one of those few times where I think it's a hassle.  :tongue: :finger:

Unless it's like a major security update, I have problems justifying downtime unless it's scheduled/planned outage.

Meh, there's never been an issue with an update before, this one was just a pain in the ass for some reason.

This is the only reason I took the forum down this afternoon:



That's 4362 errors caused by things this update broke, all of which were relatively painless to fix. Did you notice the arcade and theme switcher missing? How about the overhauled PM menu? I didn't, until I went looking for them, that is.

Edit: Oh, and the YouTube and spoiler tags. Basically anything that modified the default theme's template got busted.

Reusing this topic, I'm installing some new mods, so if something is broken ignore it for the time being, I'll have everything back to normal in a few minutes.

Alright guys, if you go into your profile you now have a little notepad and comment box. No one else can see your notepad, it's just a place where you can leave little reminders for yourself. The comments are public though, see Leno's profile for an example.

There is also a new notification for PM's, a new option to post a poll, and Leno's getting something else fun set up right now.

Although you probably won't notice any difference all of our other mods have been upgraded to the newest versions, something I didn't bother doing before.

Heh, that's a built-in feature I never enabled before. It's not staying though, I'd use it if it replaced the default news box but having two of them is pretty stupid.

After doing a lot of tinkering, we've added a mood feature as well. The mood will display after your avatar and text (if you have any), and you can set it in your profile, at "Forum Profile Information." Enjoy! :happy:

Modifying continues. Now we've added an option that allows each user to set how many posts per topic they want displayed, and how many topics per page they want displayed. :happy: Option is in "Look and Layout Preferences."
