Forum Maintenance Sun Dec 08
There's going to be some heavy maintenance & upgrading going on Sunday Dec. 08. It's more likely than usual that something can go horribly wrong and the database might need to get rolled back. I apologize in advance if that happens, but if posts start disappearing, this is what happened.
We've been upgraded to version 4.2.2. This apparently heavily borked several things. I'm working on it.
Switching to default style temporarily can help unbreak things for you.
I've fixed all the php errors, I think. Let me know if you spot any more.
Dark Vision appears to be good to go, though there may be things left to do. I don't actually use this style myself, so let me know if anything looks bad.
Classic Blue is still pretty screwed up, but it's useable at least. I'm taking a lunch break, will finish fixing it soon.
You made my beautiful purple theme all ugly and messed up. Fix it!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't actually know what it's supposed to look like!
It's not supposed to have enormous chunks of gray everywhere, I think the purple where all the gray is used to be the same color as the purple in the regular post background.

Better?
Okay, I think classic blue is back to normal too now. Let me know of any issues.
MuchThank you for doing this for me (and all the closet purple theme users).

Looks good from my mobile version of Chrome.
Default and Blue themes look good. TWF mobile theme...still gone? I always felt that was the vastly better mobile theme because it didn't load avatars and all that nonsense and thus was speedy on any mobile connection, but I understand if it's a burden to re-implement.
whats up with the resurrected content.php page. are those avatars for ants?

We did need to do more for the key insect demographic. They out biomass humans, which makes it an important untapped market!
Did you really want the avatars taking up more screen real-estate?
From what I can tell you're loading the avatars at 60x47, but the css limits their display to 10x10. how about settling for 30x30?

"What is he talking about? They are 30x30!"
I said, before checking the other styles. I'll fix it.
edit:done
edit2: Fixed up a few of the colors as well.

Can the front page please default to the activity stream again? I think that's much more appealing than months-old articles.
Post some less than months-old articles then. Those always really helped our site traffic.
There are some issues with changing back to the activity stream as the default. I can probably make it all work, but there are higher priority items on my plate.
Changed my mind. Going to do this a different way, which involves killing off the CMS on this site entirely. Since it's not really used, I hope there won't be any objections. I'll send people into the activity stream, unless people would prefer it go directly into the forum.
Something's weird now. I logged in and quoted a post, but using the "Quick Reply" said I didn't have permission to perform that act. So I clicked "Advanced", and the screen went to black log-in again. My post was still there, but without the "Quick Reply" option.
Trying it, can't get a repro. Cookies may have been invalidated last night, could you let me know if it happens again?Originally Posted by GGT

I'd cleared cookies and cache, but if it happens again, I'll let you know.
BTW....thanks for being the admin and doing all the housekeeping stuff.
I lately get redirected to http://theworldforgotten.com/profile.php?do=dst the first time I visit the page

Came online now and I was for some reason logged out and the scheme was a horrible grey one. Very dark and graphite look. When I logged in I got an invalid redirect error message but loading the bookmark for the site again I was logged in and everything was back to normal.
You mean it was set to the popular and best-option Dark Vision theme? I don't think a lunatic using the white default theme is in any position to call any other scheme "horrible."
Last night as I lay in bed, looking up at the stars, I thought, “Where the hell is my ceiling?"
Yeah, the miserable grey one seems to be the default when logged-out. The beautiful blue-on-white theme is being unfairly suppressed.
Purple for everyone!

Seems to be something wrong with the auto-save feature? Timbuk and I have duplicate posts. My last post didn't seem to like the time I took to write the damn thing....and asked me to leave or stay on the page. Used to be I could "stay" on the page and keep typing, without losing the whole narrative after clicking "reply".
I swear I didn't touch anything...
