Apology & Update [08-07-2008]

Apology & Update [08-07-2008] · 08-07-2008, 08:03 PM

I made a video to say I'm sorry for been away for ages :( Watch it here if you haven't seen it yet. Get your popcorn too because it's like 12 minutes long, lol.

In other news I've done some stuff to the forum:

We're now running on 3.7.2 so we've got some cool new features to play with including customisable profiles, tagging ability on threads, I think we can have mini-galleries now on our profiles too I think.

I haven't really had a good look myself yet so you'll have to have a look! The FAQ may have some stuff in there about it so be sure to check that out.
I also updated the arcade to the latest version, nothing major, just a security patch and some bug fixes.
I managed to fix the gallery so now when you click the links it doesn't drop /gallery out of the URL. It was happening due to a conflict with an SEO mod we have running on the forum.
I've now created Arcade sub-forum under the 'Forum Games' forum. This is so there's a place to discuss tournys, high scores and sitch. Unlike it's parent forum Forum Games, posts do count in the Arcade forum.

On the subject, there's a thread here for complaints about the arcade. I'd like it anyone finds a game that doesn't function on the arcade if they could post the name of it there. As I don't play in the arcade much that'd be really helpful so I can delete the games that don't work.

Coolness.

Nice work! Nice to have you back /spank. lol

Ches · #3 08-07-2008, 08:27 PM

Wooooh! We're back! and we're shinier!

I couldn't watch the video cos I don't have sound. Would it have been too much effort to add subtitles?

lol

Apologies from me Peter.

I'm here to enjoy the forum and hopefully there will be no further problems.

Cheers for the clarification with the message to all users. (Although you do need to work on your posture

)

Hahaha no I'm afraid not, just Cornish Vanilla in the scoop ice cream now. We do however have mint, chocolate, vanilla and strawberry in the soft ice cream. Did you know all the flavour in a carrot in the dark centre core? I'm full of useless trivia :D

I thought everyone knew that. Don't people eat carrots anymore?

Thanks for the upgrade and thanks for making asteroids work!
Btw, did you add "sexy" right at the end of your video? :P

Buffers · #9 08-07-2008, 09:01 PM

No he didn't.... he's just sexy... or I have this strange feeling he is...

It's a quote, so ya quote the mistakes too

hehe

Anyway, back on topic. Congrats on the upgrades success, however there are a few lil bugs in the style, well at least one so far, in the "Quick Links" menu, two of the items are missing their actual text.

Vik · #15 08-07-2008, 09:35 PM

I kind of miss the random Turkish words... :P

Well spotted - I'll get on it.

Edit: ooo also one in the user name drop-down list. I'll have to not all the modifications I've made to templates, revert the templates to there original form then re-insert the modifications. Could do it while I'm watching Big Brother

Languages shouldn't affect the AdminCP normally? Anyway, with a little bit of work (OK well a lot) that can be fixed. Just a case of using Languages & Phrases->Phrase Manager and going through clearing the "English" translation box for each phrase with a

in the "English" column where the translation is in Turkish, or moving the translation to the "Turkish" translation box. Will be a slow job though, going through over 522 phrases

Probably a case of either the Turkish language import went wrong, or was not created properly by it's author.

TempusFugit · #22 08-07-2008, 10:10 PM

Lovely to see you Oh Tango Man! Great video... and many thanks for the updates! I will have a play in a minute

Hahaha, you've said it. There may be a better way off doing it (I'm thinking at a database level) but yeah, it's on my to-do list :)

Ches · #24 08-07-2008, 10:15 PM

psst... delete post confirm button is in Turkish. At least I guess it's Turkish!

#25 08-07-2008, 10:19 PM

Good to see you back, Peter.

Thanks for the upgrade. Nice one :)
