Maintenance Update 9/4/10

[Prizes]

Did anyone find out what they are yet? I've found 2, as of now. One, if you have a large avatar, for example mine, you can scroll across it, to see the whole thing. Second, no more "ignore user" function. If this is to stay, this is much appreciated. Thanks for the update, seththrasher, Marc, and  John!

Anything else new or that I missed?


EDIT: Guess you can add sub-captions to your avatars, too, such as Chad[1m's]'s "I promise" under his.

What happens if the chat is not fixed by 9/20?

I don't like that. I've enjoyed that function lately. I don't mind not having the number of people ignoring you in profile, but I think the feature should still exist.

That feature's been there, except now it puts it on the posts too instead of just in the profile.

The Ignore User thing was a bug, not a feature. Sorry.  It should be fixed now. 

Today's updates started out as a way to fix the avatar cut-off issue, and there likely would have been a few new toys.  That didn't work, so now a slightly tweaked version of the current software is back.  A couple of new little things here and there, but generally, everything should be same as before.

I'm not a fan of the avatar scrollbars, but at least it's a half-step up from them being cut off entirely.  As a precaution, if you want to avoid the scroll bar for the time being, make sure your avatars are no more than ~150 pixels wide.

I've lined up an alternate basic chat program as a backup in the event I can't get the old software working again in the next couple of weeks.

...Chat be back.

Awesome work, thanks, Seth! That's completely awesome, nice to know all is well for year 39!


My emotions are best summarized by 5 Price Tags (from gscentral.net):

Aww, no more words under the avatars?

Random questions, not trying to be rude, just curious: Why can't we see the last 5 posts of the board anymore? We can only see the last post made. This is merely a matter of helpfulness. Additionally, I can't view the forum statistics. Why is this?

At least the chat will be active for the september 15th show which is the hold over show from the may 20th, then the premeire on september 20th.

I didn't know exactly where to post this...I figured here would be good since it's somewhat related.

The recaptcha thing that was a part of the new user registration area seems to have been disabled as part of the malware attack/ recent updates...given that there appears to have been a large number of recent spam registrations (and the fact that I've reported two similar inappropriate spam posts in the past eight hours), I figured I should bring that to your attention.

I changed back to the previous version of Recaptcha we used.
