Welcome (again?)

[Umbrae]

As some of you know, the backup files were corrupted and could not be restored, so all the posts, user data, etc are gone. We have to start fresh.

Reason for the update was because there was something wrong with the database and we had to re-install it. I'm guessing the backed-up files are corrupted because we were having DB problems.

So now that we have a fresh DB, you're going to see speed improvements throughout this site.

Anyways, even though it took a week to get everything ready, we're still working on the forums. There will updates and add-ons (such as cat-smilies, BB Codes for Youtube, spoilers, etc, and much more) regularly until the end of January.

If you encounter any problems, please report them in this thread.

Just an FYI Umbrae buddy, I'm listed as a junior member already, so I'm guessing you haven't worked out all the ranks and such yet. Tally ho!

EDIT: Also, what's with the restriction on seeing images?

[Umbrae]

Oooh, thanks for the reminder.

Restriction on images? If you're talking about your sig, it has to be 500px in width and 150px in height for it to show up.

[RedWizard]

Well, it says this:
"To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 5 posts." where my signature should be.

[Umbrae]

Ohh, I see what happened. Give me a sec.

*EDIT* It should be ok now.

And I cannot think of any ranks. If you guys have any suggestions, make a list in the following format:

TITLE - # of posts

Example:

Junior Member - 1-50

[RedWizard]

Also, it might just be my computer, but I can't seem to upload an avatar. I took a screenshot to show you.

Ohh, I see what happened. Give me a sec.

How many ranks do you want? I'll try to think of something.

[Umbrae]

Nah, it's my mistake again. *FIXED*

As many ranks as you guys want. It could be 2, it could be 500.

[RedWizard]

OK. I'll see what I can come up with for ranks here in a bit. Also, it still says "To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 8 posts." in my signature section.

[Umbrae]

*fixed*

[RedWizard]

OK, things seem to be working out then! Doesn't help that I was using that monster-sized image Amuro made for me before...

[Umbrae]

Yeah, had to change the dimensions because of the theme we're using.

[RedWizard]

OK, this is what I got so far for ranks:

Lowly Worm - 1 - 25 posts

Forum Goblin - 26 - 75 posts

Virtual Boy - 76 - 150 posts

Zerg Zergling - 151 - 250 posts

Double-Bladed Lightsaber - 251 - 375 posts

Super Mushroom - 376 - 525 posts

Darkwing Duck - 526 - 700 posts

Medicated Goomba - 701 - 900 posts

David, aka Snake - 901 - 1125 posts

Pumpkin King - 1126 - 1375 posts



EDIT: That's all I have for now!

[KnightAttack]

YAY!

We Back!


WE DA BEST!


Edit: How do I get my sig to work again?

[AmuroRay]

Well, it's good to be back in the forums.

I'd like to thank NuLL for NOT telling me that the forums is up again too.

[Umbrae]

YAY!

We Back!


WE DA BEST!


Edit: How do I get my sig to work again?
After you upload your sig, find "Insert".

[KnightAttack]

After you upload your sig, find "Insert".

That wasn't that helpful.


[SIGPIC]. Works.



Uh. Are we also going to get the other forums back (ie: For my reviews?), or are those gone?

[Heiae]

Database dead = no getting back old threads and junk.

[AlucardsFate]

This was a triumph...I'm making a note here... "Huge Success" It's hard to overstate my satisfaction....

What? Not applicable? Well the forum is alive again...that's A SUCCESS!

[WanderingMind]

Even though we lost all our posts, the forum is back!

[KnightAttack]

Database dead = no getting back old threads and junk.

That wasn't what I meant.

I meant them being back on the forums. Not the old threads.

But they are back now.
