Is it ‘cause I is British?

2007-10-16T03:52:00-05:00

I’ve been lurking about for several month now and can post to the forums OK. However I have yet to be able to post comments. It’s a little disappointing to spend time posting my thoughts to have them disappear into the ether. I noticed a week or so ago Jim approved 500 or so users, perhaps my ramblings are not interesting enough?

PS the spell checker is your friend.

Why can’t I change it? Even when I finally do, the next time I log on I’m staring at bloody Ray Lamontagne all stretched out sideways. What up wi’dat?

Themes

2007-07-02T22:25:12-05:00

OK, themes are kind of cool at first, but maintaining changes across more than one these is a nightmare.

Themes are out. Also, I will be converting the “default” look to better match the rest of the site. Soon. ;)

Use the link button

2007-07-07T21:26:58-05:00

Hey y’all...I promised not to change things beyond the technical, but one thing I really would like to see people do is use the link button (the < a > button) to create links. When you cut and paste long links, you can very easily break the formatting of the page, forcing it into “wide mode.”

Use the buttons! :)

Can anyone else post?

Hello?

Upgraded

2007-06-24T00:07:20-05:00

Version 2.0 on the forums...changelog here.

PM changes, emoticons

2007-06-09T15:20:49-05:00

Hey everyone...just wanted to let you folks know of two changes I made. Well, three actually.

1. You can now save 150 PMs instead of 60. Also, you can use 10000 characters per message. We can afford the disk space. :)

2. Image attachments (forums and PMs) can now be up to 750K each and be 1280 x 1600 max. Obviously smaller is better, but once in awhile big is the only way to go.

3. Emoticons are off. :( Unfortunately they mess up the front page formatting something awful and I don’t see any way to turn them off for just the front page and leave them on in the forums. If I figure it out, I’ll turn ‘em back on…

While I’m here, anything y’all want me to tweak or fix?

Database Error

2006-12-18T20:50:59-05:00

I’m getting the following message when I try and open many threads:

“Database Error: Unable to connect to your database. Your database appears to be turned off or the database connection settings in your config file are not correct. Please contact your hosting provider if the problem persists.”

Happening at home and work so can’t be the pc I’m using.
Any idea what that is about?

Theres that old modus operandi de nobile again: When the truth must come out rules don’t apply.

OUTSTANDING FORUM REPAIR ISSUES

2006-08-26T15:50:33-05:00

Sorry for the caps. I’m not trying to insist on immediate repairs to the forum. I just didn’t want this to get missed.

Please list prior functionality that no longer works as you find it. To keep things cleaner, try to maintain your list by just editing it in a single post. As things get fixed, please update your post to indicate which fixes are no longer necessary. Maybe prioritize your list by what you think is important or quick to fix, but be aware that you may be alone in what you think is important.

My Broken List:
1. Jabba’s account has been annihilated again. We cannot go on without Jabba! Am I alone in thinking this?
2. NEW: Link to Moorewatch main page in top bar is missing. (New link to Wiki would be nice too.)
3. Who had the last post? (Old forums)

Already fixed:
2. Avatars don’t work. (Not just images missing, cannot change avatar.) [JimK Fixed this]
2. The link embedding tags “[url...” don’t work. [Working now, perhaps always was. Buh.]
