Im going to read the rest of this in a salt mine, while eating salt.

Unfortunately, he didn't :( Changing it back now.

The only two things not working properly at the moment would be:
1. The chatroom. The link has been removed as it failed to work when I reinstalled it.
2. Links to and from threads and such on the site. Will take a while to get 'em all.

Anything else; let me know. Pronto!

I have now fiddled a bit with our emailers. If things work properly, all reply notifications, PM notifications and whatnot should be sent to your emails from admin@asrai.org instead of Asrai@woodelves.org. I am not 100% sure this works yet, so please let me know if you get the notifications as you should - and especially if you do not get them.

Notifications are as they should be - admin@asrai.org it is.

There are actually ranks on IRC? This speaks volumes on how often I use it nowadays... Or were you talking about OPs?

I got it from Asrai@woodelves.org, but that was yesterday (19:40 in our timezone).
We've all heard of ninja horses and wild rider horses are much better than normal horses so they must be super ninjas......right?

Not super important, and even likely that it's my popup killer, but this option:
  • Pop up window on new private message
does not appear to be working....

Using Firefox? There are some issues with that function as firefox likes to block pop-ups. I believe Internet Explorer has now also understood that some type of pop-up blocker is handy. It doesn't work yet, but I think they have the option for one.

IRC: Internet Relay Chat. When I last visited it (quite some time ago), that was the medium on which the chatroom was held. :confused:

There is a full stop between them, meaning that they are different things :) The chatroom is one thing I had to (and still have to) fix, and ranks on this site is something I fixed. Sorry for being confusing.

The chatroom is now up and running, and the odd error with the nav menu while logged out (menu items being underneath each other instead of next to each other) has been fixed.

Anything else, let me know.

Not that anyone will care, nor notice, but on the index page (where all the different forums are listed) the "Last post" column now includes a threat title in which the last post was made. I also linkified that text snippet to make it easier to go to the last post of a forum (that mini little image icon next to a username can be tricky to hit somedays)

I didn't feel like starting a new thread, so I'll use this one fr this important message:
The phpBB Group wrote:Hello,

phpBB is very proud to announce the immediate release of phpBB3.

The project has changed considerably since work on its second major
release began. With a raft of new features requested by users and new
ideas introduced by its developers, phpBB3 is more able than ever to
support the new "social networking" trend. Security too has been a top
priority with particular attention paid to reduce or eliminate the
problems of the past. Indeed unusually for a project of this nature an
independent security audit was performed to better ensure a safer
future for its users.

So with great pride phpBB wishes to thank all of its developers,
designers, team members and of course its community - please enjoy
phpBB3.

The phpBB Teams.

In case you didn't know, Asrai.org/Woodelves.org has been running on an "unstable" system since May. What we have been using was "Release Candidates" (RC), ranging from RC1 to RC8. Now, finally, comes the official release of the system we've been using and testing for them. And in light of that, I shall install/upgrade to the stable/official release version as soon as possible, which will mean a shorter offtime later this weekend (probably tonight even as my plans to go out with some friends got spoiled by tonsilitis).

I felt like letting you guys know that we will soon have a "stable" site system.

~ Nag


PS. None of the earlier site crashes and downtimes have been due to the system. Human (my) errors or a stupid hosting company has been responsible for everything we've encountered. DS.
