Update us...

Don't bump an old thread unless you have something to add. We have mentioned this to you before, and this post doesn't even really make sense. As such, I've issued a minor warning. - Bosola

Apparently I'm unable to send private messages.
I can live with it, maybe it's because I don't have premium membership rights or something.

However, I noticed that I get logged off whenever i click on the "new private message" button.

1°) I click on the "new private message" button, in "My messages" page.
2°) I get an error message "Error : you don't have the right to post private messages".
3°) I click "ok", which set me back to the main page.
4°) I'm a guest, and I have to log in again.


I guess it's unintended?

edit: I can send messages now.  I must have dreamed?

Unable to send PMs with too few posts: intentional behavior.
Logging you out when you try: entirely unintended. I'll look into it.
 
Is it possible to enhance Aali's Custom FF7/FF8 Driver section to 'Patches and fixes'?
I believe it would be better to store there all the new to old patches (from Kranmar and Kompass63).
I also suggest making for Bootleg a complete own section. It would be better to post a problem with Bootleg there, instead of open a new topic in the Troubleshooting section.
So we would have a better overview in both sections.
 
Hi.
Since some few days, the thread names are written in huge characters (in every pages, actually). It might be just me, but I don't think so because it wasn't like that before and the other pages (the topics themselves) are just as usual.

Or maybe it is intended? I find it unconvenient anyway ^^'

The forum has been upgraded to a new server. Please let us know if there are any unintended side effects.
 
The spell check button is gone. I never use it, but some people might.

Quick reply box is no longer showing. Spell check isn't, either, although I never use that (but some might).

Per-user theme settings seem to have been reset with the server move, but those features still work. You can change them back how you want here (link should work for any user for their own settings). I had to switch quick moderation back to icons there, too.

edit: Spell checking in SMF requires a PHP install with pspell, which (AFAIK) is not default. I don't see it returning any time soon.

yea, that sounds great. hopefully better performance :3
 
Seems good so far. I haven't had any messages about server stress yet  :)
 
A good way to thank Qhimm would be to donate to help fund the new server. I don't know exact numbers, but as it's a VPS instead of shared hosting, it's almost certainly more expensive than the old one.
 
Pffft, who needs a spellchecker?

Me actually, Dyspraxia is fun like that.
 
When viewing the site on mobile, it appears the tapatalk banner/ad/popup is missing its styling. Not a huge deal, but noticeable, the site has been pretty stable since the upgrade on my end
 
I've had a few people write to me on YT that they are unable to register for the forums, even when trying multiple email accounts.

I registered someone manually who was having trouble. I figured it was just him; I'll try and get in touch with Qhimm and see if we can't get this worked out; whatever the problem is, it's not immediately apparent.

Edit: It's almost certainly related to one of our anti-spam plugins, and has nothing to do with the server move. We can't really disable these plugins; that would cause all manner of chaos, but anyone with such an issue is free to shoot an email to Covarr, gmail, and I'll gladly make 'em an account manually.

It appears the password reset feature is down too. Thanks to Covarr for helping me change mine.
