Back in business
Hello, and welcome all back to our new board. Sorry for the mess, but we're back now on a new server which hopefully will be better than the last one.
We have good and bad news. The good news is that all posts were saved. I even recreated the search index again, which means the search should now find all posts (even those which were not findable before we moved! )
The bad news is that all files have been lost. This means that all avatars don't work. Also the smilies and the template is gone (as you might've noticed). I installed some themes you can choose. I think this one looks the most pleasing on the eyes, so set it to default.
We decided to migrate right away to phpBB3, which enables everyone to use new feature's, like attachements
There "can" be some problems with "some" accounts, so if you can't login anymore use the "forgot password" option or contact one of the admins (kv83, tr1p1ea or benryves) through mail/irc.
Big thanks to ben who actually had a backup of all posts! Cheers!

Re: Back in business
Hurrah! It sure feels good to be back!
Edit: As you may have noticed the logo has mysteriously changed to the old one. I'm attempting to restore other bits as I find them (so far, only two smilies seem to have survived the ordeal). I can restore the old skin if you'd rather have that, though I do kinda like this new one.
Edit 2: Make that 15 smilies. If anyone has any relevant backups it would be nice to restore the missing files. (I tried to restore some avatars as well but they don't seem to be as easy as dropping a file into the right directory).

Re: Back in business
Yes yes... I like the new one aswell, so I guess we can stick with that. Though the smilies look a bit ... pixeled guess they weren't used to darker backgrounds hehe... well, for starters it's better than nothing... AND I might change them later.
Good job ben! If someone else has smilies or other relevant things, please post them here!
Edit: I cleaned up some smilies... the non-animated

Re: Back in business
Thanks for tidying up those images! I'll have a hunt around my old computer disk at some point to see if I have any of the remaining smilies (before I had internet access on my own machine I used to save interesting threads as .mhts for offline perusal, and still had some backed up on an SD card).

Re: Back in business
Looks good! I liked black on white more, though. Better for my eyes ;)
And the site is fast! Hosting seems to be great (and cheap!).
w/b haha
Edit: And no more coins, finally!

Edit your post; note that "Disable BBCode" is checked. You can set your default preferences here.driesguldolf wrote:^ Why isn't the quote thing working >.<
There are some other themes here if you'd rather use them, though more work has been done on getting this one working so the alternative themes are not as complete.NanoWar wrote:Looks good! I liked black on white more, though.
Edit: This theme has a few bugs that I've tried to resolve (option buttons were invisible in Opera, links in posts weren't highlighted in any way &c) so if you spot any other omissions be sure to let us know!
Re: Back in business
But then I see different themes when logged in and logged out, which annoys me.
Edit: Where is the LOGOUT-Button? Just wondering...

It's that big red button on the top right of the window ;)

Err... I have it enabled by default, however it still doesn't want to enable bbcode...
And I can't find that checkbox >.<
This is gonna take some time to adjust... :)

Re: Back in business
I couldn't get it to work either. Is this "bye bye" for BB?
I also noticed only staffers have their sigs visible. Maybe it's a user permissions setting?
[edit] ...and now my sig is working.

Re: Back in business
Hrm, I've just gone and reassigned registered user permissions on most of the forums. Maybe that will help?
Lack of a logout button is rather irritating, I'll see what one has to do to add one.

Welcome back online! Can we get quick reply back also?

Re: Back in business
I've cleaned up the animated emoticons and added a logout and register button to the template.
Adding a quick reply mod appears to need to do something hacky with the PHP, so I'm going to leave that for someone a bit braver.
Edit: Found the better emoticon and, more importantly, this guy!
