Forum Upgraded

[administrator]

Hi,


Sorry the forum was down for the past day. I've upgraded it to a later version so hopefully all the small problems we had before are gone now.


Let me know if something's not working for you.


Thanks.


Emmett

Love the new layout,its all sparkly and new!smileys/smiley4.gif

[Sionna]

Aah I think the times are messed up,its 6:40pm now so lets see....

[LisaOBrien]

the layout is cool...i like it!!!

[Angela]

Wow - fancy, fancy!

Thanks, Emmett! smileys/smiley4.gif

[administrator]

thanks! as for the time difference. you can set the time to whatever it is in your part of the world via your "profile" button. it's better than having a global time that's wrong for some people.

[LisaOBrien]

neat! im well impressed!! nice one emmett!

[Sionna]

Okay cheers Emmett!

[Gatsby]

buala bus air emmettt! fair f**kin play.. the place is great and i love the clickable smilies! takes alot of hassle out of loading that bitch of a page! well done mansmileys/smiley1.gif

[janedoe]

WoW love your work Emmett!smileys/smiley10.gif

[daol20]

Have to say Emmett! It looks well!!! Had a bit of trouble logging in, had to mess around with my firewall to sort it out but appart from that its class!!!!!

[daol20]

The changing the text colour thing is a little more awkward so im gonna stick with the black text from now on!!

[janedoe]

smileys/smiley7.gif Yeah I dont quite understand some stuff, but all in its own good time!!

[Sionna]

O no!Script error o loughlin is gone!smileys/smiley19.gif I'm reallly gonna miss him!smileys/smiley19.gif

[daol20]

I know! But we had fun while he was here! and thats the main thing!! He'll never be forgotten!!!</font>

[LisaOBrien]

he'll never be too far from our thoughts....smileys/smiley19.gif

[daol20]

Emmett, think theres a little bug with the private messages. I got that pop up message telling me i'd a new msg, and clicked 'ok' to go to my inbox. But the message just kept popping up again and again. I couldnt go to my inbox and view the new msg, and had to click 'no'.

[LisaOBrien]

Emmett...i got a message a few mins ago telling me that "SPAMMING is not allowed. You have sent the posted the amount allowed in the alloted time frame. Please try again later" or something like that...then i couldnt post for a while..but now im ok..i think. just letting you know smileys/smiley4.gif

[Sionna]

That happened me before as well,i think its just if u post topics too fast after each other.

[daol20]

So thats just slowing down the "Groupies!!!"smileys/smiley2.gif

[administrator]

thanks. the spamming thing has been changed now so you should be ok. you can send 5 posts in 2 minutes. try and beat that, groupies.


daol, i just sent myself a private message and it seemed to work okay. anyone else have that problem? i think maybe the forum doesn't like you daol! but at least the script thing is gone.

[daol20]

Well thats something!! smileys/smiley4.gif


I'll let you know if it happens again! Maybe it was a one off!

[daol20]

Emmett, i just sent a private message to myself and it happened again. Dont know whats going on with my PC!!

[Wheels]

Daol it works fine for me...

[Gatsby]

yeah same here... the board just doesnt like u.. take the hintsmileys/smiley2.gif

[Angela]

The script thing and now the popup problem seem both related to Java or Javascript. Have you disabled something in your browser? smileys/smiley5.gif

[tasha039]

sorry emmett, but I do not like the names...newbie, groupie...why such the labels?

[administrator]

because that's the way they came. any suggestions for what i could change them to? smileys/smiley16.gif

[Wheels]

I think each star should be a band member... one star = Vivienne, 2 = Shane, 3 = Tomo, 4 = Lisa, 5 = Damien...

I always wanted to be a drummer.

[janedoe]

Thats a class idea I agree with wheels, being labeled a newbie isnt nice especially when you not one!smileys/smiley3.gif

[administrator]

aw, but that's not fair on vyvienne and shane...

[Wheels]

Sure it is... it's based on how often they're in the line up... Damien/Always... Lisa/Most of the time... Tomo/more than Shane... Shane/More than Vivienne... and Vivienne... well, more often than I.

[administrator]

hmm... how about "eskimo friends" to begin with, then after 10 posts users become "eskimo groupies"... but some people don't like the groupies name... anyone any more ideas?

[Wheels]

What about working from Seal... through polar bear, eskimo and right up to king Penguin... which is you!smileys/smiley14.gif

[gally45]

"eskimo baby" "eskimo kid" "eskimo teenager" "eskimo suffering from a mid life crisis!" and finally "eskimo jerryatric" although heavier posters like lisa, jeweller and daol 20 etc may resent the jerryatric tag! so wheels idea is probably better, there should be more people out there called shane anyway in my unbiased opinion!

[Sionna]

How about eskimo roadies eh?A roadie is so much better than a groupie!

[LisaOBrien]

hmmm...i just love my two stars call me what you will!!! smileys/smiley2.gif

[Loveless]

Is it possible to bring back the five most recent posts on the index page of the forum? I found it much easier than trawling through the individual forums..

[administrator]

yeah me too, i'll see if that's possible

[dara]

[Gatsby]

[dara]

i like it im a busker so

[administrator]

brendan they say it's not recommended to turn it back on for performance/database reasons. i'll dig deeper and see if that's just something they say...


i like those group names

[janedoe]

Yeah those forum names are better and that most recent posts is much missed, hope you can sort it Emmett smileys/smiley8.gif

[daol20]

Like the names Emmett! Cheers, nice one Jewels!

[daol20]

My avatar isnt appearing anymore!! I checked out the profile settings and it seems to be fine.

[Wheels]

Hey, the 'active users' link is back smileys/smiley4.gif I missed that. Thanks Emmett

[daol20]

Yeah that was handy! Good to have it back!


btw, Emmett, i tried again with the avater, just messing around with it and it appeared again! I think you wereright when you said this forum doesnt like me!

[administrator]

daol, well, maybe it has something to do with geocities. i tried using my avatar with your profile, which is hosted on another site too, and it worked fine. so perhaps it doesn't allow images from geocities for some reason... if you want i could upload the image somewhere here.Edited by: emmettu2

[administrator]

oh now it seems to be working for you...

[daol20]

Its a balance thing! The script thing was fixed so now something else has started acting up! Sounds a bit like my old car! If it keeps happening i'll take you up on your offer. Thanks Emmett!

[Aisling]

i think im having a little trouble with posting in general. maybe its just my pc. did anybody get that virus btw? emmett the site is just as lovely as ever! good jobsmileys/smiley32.gif
i missed you guys
