Forums Re-Installed

Post by DarkUnderlord »

All righty, to stop some general whackiness, I've done a clean re-install of the forums. We lost four templates (deliberately) in the transition those being subBlack3d, ashFuel, smartDark and phpVB2. Very few people used them anyway and anyone who was has been switched to fiblack.

Quick reply has been re-installed. The headers for the forums now all include a "Duck and Cover" link to the main page. The DAC style seems a bit messed up but I may get around to work on that eventually.

More functionality coming soon! In the meantime, let me know if there are any problems or if you don't find any problems that you used to get (like that erroneous posting bug that would end with you making a double post).

It almost happened to me today again, but I've generally learned to catch it.

Sometimes I'll hit submit, then about 30 seconds later nothing's happened to the page, so I check back into the thread and sure enough the post had been sent in. Seems sometimes it gets caught up and never switches to the "you've made a post" page?

You're a champ, DarkUndies.
How appropriate. You fight like a cow.

Yep. Nice work. The most important upcoming feature is restricting some people to the asshats forum, of course. And I've got the assface avatar that I can't wait to give to someone.

The logo on the top left corner shows phpBB, not the DAC logo.

You should have killed SubSilver instead of SmartDark. SubSilver sucks beyond belief. I can't believe anyone uses it.

I loved SmartDark, can we please have the other layouts back? I cant see how they would be causing problems.

Yup, getting that too. I've had it today since the re-install too. :( This is the bug I'm trying to pin down. Either it's an issue with phpBB or with our server. Damned annoying.

No-one does. SubSilver is the default style though and is necessary to have because it's generally up to date with all the extra features which can be used as a template for other styles.

It's annoying to update 8 different forum styles. One's bad enough but 8 is annoying. 3 (+SubSilver) I can tolerate.

... and of course, it just has to happen to me with this post.

PMs and emails seem to be messed up as well, they keep giving me error messages when I click send.

I've had those annoying things all the time, DU. Before and after this re-install. It can be bothersome, but what the heck? It still doesn't hold back my supreme spamming powers.

No, that's what the asshat forum is for. ;)
