Another thing, I really don't like those folders that tell you if there are new posts or not in a forum. Much too indistinct.

But no hurry, chrisis! I know you have a life.

Love Darth Jolene by the way! :wub: :thumbsup:

ETA: Oh, I just noticed that the non AM/PM-time displaying is working![redit][/redit]

Oh, I discovered an annoying thing when you quote someone. There's no way to cut the quote into different pieces until after it's been posted. There's no way to do it in preview mode.

Often you want to answer different questions in turn and thus you cut the quote.

Nope, I did and that didn't help. The problem is that you never get to see all the coding, including the quote(s), in one post until after you post it and do it in edit mode.

Try it and see for yourself ![redit][/redit]

Ah, I see you've changed the little notepad things to larger file folders which are either empty or have a piece of paper in it to distinguish between no new posts and new posts in a forum...

ETA: Or at least on some of them... not sure why some have it and some don't in the forums, though.

I seem to have a lot of older PMs I thought I had deleted that's now clogging up my PM folders. Anyway to get rid of them? There doesn't seem to be an option for that.

I read something on the zetaboard forum about that, apparently they don't have a delete option for PMs. However, they state that you can move the PMs you don't want to clog up your inbox to the Archive folder instead...

So they don't mind a lot of old PMs taking up space? The old version had a limit, and who can forget the constant yapping about cleaning out your PM folder at TBBS!

:shrug: Beats me if they care or not. Probably if it either gets to be a problem, or if enough people ask (and there's been several inquiries about it already from different people on other boards, just in the couple of pages I looked at yesterday in the 10 minutes or so I was looking around there), then maybe they'll add it as an option in one of the updates. But don't count on seeing it anytime soon...

I can see where saving some of the old PMs might be nice, but I don't think I really need ones from 2006, for example, that say 'oh can you make me a badge for Vulkon?' or something like that. I'm pretty sure I don't need those anymore. :P :lol2:

Perhaps there is an auto delete function if the PMs are placed in a certain folder...?

Just a heads-up, Chris, I'm getting the "Address Not Found" error message a lot tonight when I try to log onto the boards. I'm assuming it's a server issue beyond your control, but I wanted to pass on the prob...

Weird. It's working fine for me (though a bit slow, but that's because I'm busy acquiring something at the moment).

It's off and on for me. I'd say that at least 50% of the time it weirds out. Every other site I visit works fine, but these boards ... verra frustratin'...

Ah. Maybe because I'm running slower than normal at the moment because of the other thing I'm doing is helping me to avoid those troublesome spots, then...

Okay, if you've been wondering what happened to the board (if it vanished for you, and it may not have for all of you) last night and today, it had nothing to do with our conversion to zetaboard from invisionfree, nor did the server crash. Here's what they stated on another site (and also at the wikipedia entry for zetaboards) about what happened yesterday:

Quote:
 
Server Damage

This evening at 4:55pm CDT in our H1 data center, electrical gear shorted, creating an explosion and fire that knocked down three walls surrounding our electrical equipment room. Thankfully, no one was injured. In addition, no customer servers were damaged or lost.

We have just been allowed into the building to physically inspect the damage. Early indications are that the short was in a high-volume wire conduit. We were not allowed to activate our backup generator plan based on instructions from the fire department.

This is a significant outage, impacting approximately 9,000 servers and 7,500 customers. All members of our support team are in, and all vendors who supply us with data center equipment are on site. Our initial assessment, although early, points to being able to have some service restored by mid-afternoon on Sunday. Rest assured we are working around the clock.

We are in the process of communicating with all affected customers. we are planning to post updates every hour via our forum and in our customer portal. Our interactive voice response system is updating customer

There is no impact in any of our other five data centers.

I am sorry that this accident has occurred and I apologize for the impact it has caused.


ETA: It looks like the service is still going to be spotty for awhile, however, so expect to have to reload quite a bit with the server claiming that the pages aren't found.

We've got actual spoiler code on this board! :) There isn't a button you can press to get it (unfortunately), so you do have to remember the coding but it's easy enough to do. Just use this code around what you want to hide:

Code:
 
[spoiler] [/spoiler]


and it will appear like this:

Spoiler: click to toggle


Just click on the bar that says 'spoiler' and you can view it.
