Updates/Requests/Improvements (post all noticed ISSUES and SUGGESTIONS here)

Re: Updates/Requests/Improvements

I apologize for the ongoing Database Errors tonight. I contacted the host, I'm not quite sure why that is so I'm awaiting response and let you know.

If this continues I'm seriously considering moving to a different host but for that I have to wait until I have raised the funds to do that.

#random thing

Letting us put images from other image uploading stuff would lead to more space right? And at least the signatures wouldn't have to be changed...

I'm sorry, what do you mean when you say 'put images for other image uploading stuff'??

Oh lol, I failed writing that...

I meant it like uploading signatures to imageshack, tinypic, photobucket or anything similar.

Re: Updates/Requests/Improvements

Not really, I had to change the Signature settings so going forward you can upload them instead of using links (that will make a difference), I'm sorry for the inconvenience but if you need any help let me know.

I also had to turn of all BB Codes but that's only temporary until I have to make a few changes and I will let you know as soon as they're back.

I'm working on more ideas and solutions and as saidn my ultimate goal is to move to a dedicated server but they're so damn expensive.

Thank you for your understanding while I am working on all these things. Our numbers have more than doubled in a year and us entering the peak ESC period I want to give you as little downtime as possible.

The good news is that while I had to make some changes with signatures, PM's etc there will be some new things coming soon. I don't have that many information yet but my programers are working on a forum integrated tool similar to scorewiz but just for us but that there is currently no ETA but I hope to have it ready in a couple of weeks.

Also, my main focus is to increase the experience for our registered members. Guests currently have a limited viewing option meaning after viewing 8 threads they either have to register or wait a day. To decrease any possible server downtime, I lowered it 5 threads per day so let's see if that's going to make a difference.

Re: Updates/Requests/Improvements

Matt, all the time I am getting messages that the server is too busy. I can post hardly anything and cannot see many threads.

Oh, here it's again:
"The following errors occurred with your submission
The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later."

EDIT: Yay, my message managed to be posted!

Re: Updates/Requests/Improvements

That is strange. I believe that may have been unrelated to the forum and possibly a host issue. I'll contact them immediately.

I apologize for that, I don't see any error reports that were cause by the forum itself.

It was great for me too until there was no reason anymore to get 3,000 posts to change my user title...

Yes, in the past we had people post 100's of messages a day in the Quiz area which is why I didn't include it in the post count but now that we're at a reasonable amount of posts I decided to reactivate it.

Re: Updates/Requests/Improvements

just added a few more ranks since we have now a lot of members with high post counts. Any more ideas & suggestions for user titles let me know. I keep adding them, the more the merrier

Re: Updates/Requests/Improvements

I have a question: does the VIP access bring the stuff we had before as the normal users or there are some additional options, comparing to the stuff we could've done before?

Re: Updates/Requests/Improvements

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought you don't need a credit card with paypal?
