The forums will be off-line beginning at 5:00 PM Eastern today. This is scheduled maintenance to improve the quality of the forums. During this time, the main site will remain accessible.

 

I will try to get this completed as quickly as possible, it could however take a few hours before the site is turned back on-line this evening.

 

Thanks for your patience.

I hope the game does not go into extra innings . Make it quick Larrrry!

I will delay it until the game is over if they are still playing at 5. :thumbup

5 PM as planned.

 

VIPs will have access to the offline board during some of the downtime.

I'm going to start calling out all non-VIP's and ask for immediate answers. I will then call them cowards.

Wow. This is nice.

SICK! Loving the new digs, Admin.

Man, none of my game thread macros work anymore. Your recoding has become my recoding.

Oops, I hope it isn't too much of a hassle to redo those.

Welcome back to the board everyone. Some things to keep in mind:

 

1) There may be a few minor skin modifications still needed such as incorrect font colors which I'll fix as I find them.

2) I am rebuilding the posts and since there are over 1.5 million of them, this could take a few days to complete. Until it is complete, you may come across posts that have broken quotes or code boxes. These are being rebuilt and fixed in the background so disregard this.

3) Currently the only skin available is the standard 2009 one and its "Games" variation which removes signatures. I will be adding back all the old skins soon.

4) The board may seem a little slow for the rest of today since there is a lot going on in the background. This is only temporary.

5) I'm aware some of you won't like the new look but it was a needed change to help with performance issues

 

If you notice anything not working, let me know.

Is there a "View New Post" link and I'm missing it? Or was it taken down for now until you're done working on the forums?

Look top right next to the RSS symbol. View New Content should be what you are looking for.

Ah ok. Thanks.

Nah, it's no big deal. I just gotta figure out the new content tags.

Can I no longer delete my own posts or am I just missing it?

Nice new look Admin!

wow I'm freaked out by this new layout

Can I no longer delete my own posts or am I just missing it?

 

 

You should be able to, I'll look into it and see what is going on. Let me go VIP Bob Dole so he can look around and try.

Bob is testing

You found a bug, sorry about that. This will be corrected as soon as possible.

Is there a way to automatically go to the 2nd or 3rd page when viewing new posts, or is that gone?

If I understand your question right, it should work the same way it always did. Where are you trying to do this and were unable to?

That wasn't working for me earlier but it is now.

Upon the changeover, all previous data that stored what you last read was wiped. It's just now generating again as you look at topics. That's probably what happened.

Ah, that's probably exactly what it was. I marked all as read since it though that I hadn't read anything. That's probably what fixed it.
