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.]

My main problem is that CM is still here… I mean, come on, you delete the entire board and can’t get rid of him? :roll:

As for Jabba, was April when his acct was missing before? Maybe it’s not gone “again”, but we’ve gone back in time to when it was gone?

The EBH is also finally dead.

Uh...English Boot House?

My link worked ok for Wiki.

OK, avatars should be uploadable now, as well as images for sigs.  I’ll work on the rest of it after I get my site back up…

Thanks Jim!  We’ve all been through a lot on this board, and I’m sure we’ll stick with it because it’s always been worthwhile.

huzzah, I miss my avatar… the problem is I currently can’t find it… it must be on my other comp.... blah....

EDIT: BTW I have to say, these are some outstanding board issues. :ahhh:

what’s jabba’s precise screen name?

I thought it was just Jabba, I believe he used Jabba the Moore on the old forum.

BTW Duck, I think Sethery meant the Forum was outstanding, not the issues. :cheese:

We just saw him as “jabba”.  It was a weird situation where his account had a status of “Ghosted” instead of “Member” and he was basically locked out and couldn’t post.  That was fixed, then some time later his account just disappeared from the member list.  His posts didn’t disappear; it’s just that his account wasn’t visible.  When that was fixed all his posts were still associated with his account.  I think sl0re fixed both events, but I don’t know for sure.  The link to where his old profile would be is: http://moorewatch.com/index.php/forums/member/9448/ .  It doesn’t work anymore, but it might be a clue to his fate.

RR, Duck: I meant that the REPAIR was outstanding.  I didn’t specify it all earlier, but the FORUM is FANTASTIC, and the ISSUES are MARGINAL.  :)

I have three jabba-related names in the member list...can someone get him to email me so I know who he is?  I’ll fix it right up, I promise.

BTW - TWO backups done in the last 24 hours.  I SWEAR IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN!

lookie lookie!! My duck is back!! :cheese: That makes me happy…

BTW I just noticed the links at the bottom, is that prev and next thread? Intellesting....

I don’t have his e-mail, but PM’d someone who I think does.  If it helps, the real Jabba has, like, a billion forum posts.  I sent the gmail address for you that is linked on the blog front page.

I found a problem:  I’m still not listed as a Superadmin.  I mean, WTF?!?  (And I want the EBH back)

Uh...Euro Broadcast Hire?

This isn’t really an “issue”, just something I noticed when reading through a thread… something looked off and I couldn’t figure out what at first, but I just realized it: Before, the quotes boxes were skinnier than the posts, like 80% of the width or something… I personally found it easier to read them that way. ... so, if you’ve got the time, JimK, ;) (I mean, you haven’t been busy or anything the last few days, have you?)

Huh?  Ohhhhhh.

Bump.  Added #2 on my list.

Still not an Admin (or even a mod!), and I miss my EBH.

Uh...Engine Block Heater?

I cant change my sig without it deleting.  Don’t know if this is a site problem or a user error…

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You’re never going to keep me down

Jabba’s finally had the breakdown that was always going to happen, and has moved back to Germany to work on a commune. He sends his best wishes.

My main problem with this forum is that some of CM’s posts still make it through without being deleted. :cheese:

I’m out standing in my field.

Ok, I just noticed something about the board that I hope you can fix: It appears as though all the posts made between like Easter and last week have been deleted.... could you be a doll and get those back up? :P
