Forum Changes - 26th July 2014

Which inappropriate threads did you have in mind?

ac13

The 'new web' has a post drafts feature that auto saves posts while you type them. I think that's sufficient.

ya like that draft feature very much here a lot of times after typing a epitah i click something by mistake and the whole prose goes off

is it because of lack of double post merging the delay between post is there ?

Double post merging is enabled. There's a whole bunch of settings I haven't done on the testing forum because I can't export them out to put onto the forum once the upgrade is done, so it would be a waste of time to try and do those all now

typing a epitah[sic]

I think you mean epithet not epitaph... unless there's a bereavement forum that needs a SteamID to access?

 

[barmyarmy]

AC13 maybe...

And also, can we get the anonymous mafia forum back there? I believe that it's the reason behind the mafia forums getting less activity and eventually it's dead now. Helping back the anonymous mafia forum might just increase the activity and sooner or later, the activity will be back on top. It will revitalize the mafia forum.

Just so you know, The Anonymous Mafia Forum never helped spark activity anyway. The two anonymous games held suffered low activity. So while anonymous games are fun, don't expect them to revitalize the sub-forum.

As we've got a lot of data to move across, it will take a bit of time to do - which means that the site won't be open for posting for between 12 hours and a day - depending on how smoothly things go.

I didn't understand that. Does this mean that we cannot open this site for 12 hours and a day ? If so, can you tell the exact time and date ?

 

[Umair7]

If i am not wrong he meant to say that it will take 12 to 24 hours to move the data !

This is prolly the most useful addition. It will be most useful to the league and story managers and for the staff for the announcement threads. Typing a whole page and see it go off due to one bad server instance is a huge pain. Thank you for the addition.

 

[SRT]

Yes you are - because this is a discussion forum and people are welcome to contribute their views to discussions.

If you do not want other users to comment, don't post on the forum.

I can't think of many more pointless uses of my time than to go and remove already locked or very old threads - just don't look at them - you don't see them unless you click back to previous pages and go looking for them.

Sorry , but i have clearly mentioned that the suggestion is for Mods.

See :

Some cleaning of the site needs to done there so many inappropriate threads and so many banned users. So, what do the you think ? (Mods)

So what this is a forum where anyone can post

I'll start the process early on Saturday morning my local time (UTC+10).

I need to close off the current site and make sure that the current database and all attachments, etc, that match it are moved at the same time, so no one loses data.

There will be notices and progress updates on the day.

but i have clearly mentioned that the suggestion is for Mods.

And members can still contribute to the discussion topic, because even if you asked the mods, the question still impacts all users.

The point of this section is for site feedback. If you want to talk just to the mods, there's an aptly named section for doing that. But in this case I've already answered.

 

[sanjeevaloria]

in new forum the user that not have DBC 14 they can view the DBC 14 Downloads forum ?

 

[MattW]

No.

About league

@MattW, My question is that you have already merged the stimulation league section to new site.And I can see that it has transfered nearly 10-15 days before.Then how can we continue the threads ,posts,leagues etc... which are started after 10-15(after Forum transfer)

That is a testing site so we could prepare things for the shift and get feedback. The actual site will have all content as of the time this forum is shut on Saturday.

Don't worry - all accounts, threads, posts, attachments, forums, groups, vCash and more will be there for you on the new forum, your existing logins will continue to work.
