Upgrading again

[thisgeek]

I will be taking the site offline for about an hour sometime this afternoon / evening for a software upgrade.

Just so you know. I'll post the offline time as I usually do when I take it offline, so you have an idea how long it will be before it returns.

[Noodle]

Gads!

[stoke]

You sound like eksdom.

[HosstheBoss]

Unless you're installing cup holders I'm not interested!


:D

[thisgeek]

Cup holders were installed ages ago.

Open up your 'My computer' - located the CD/DVD drive, right click and hit 'Eject'.

Et Voila!

Now that I've trimmed all the irrelevant crap out of this thread, here is a list of highlights for the new software release:



* Inline spam management & prevention
* Thread tagging
* Search cloud / tag cloud
* Thread prefixes
* Reciprocal friendships between users
* Public visitor messaging on profile pages with 'conversation' feature
* User picture galleries with user comment facility
* User-created social groups with invite only and moderated membership options
* Extended member profile pages
* Customizable member profile pages with admin-controlled styling abilities
* Inline editing of custom user profile fields
* Lightbox viewer for attached images
* Viewable and comparable history maintained for post edits
* Extended re-authentication for inline moderation actions
* Notices system for navigation bar
* Multiple human-verification systems including reCAPTCHA, image verification and Q/A
* User change history
* Social bookmarking integration

I have finished upgrading the forums. It should be noted that I have disabled some of the templates pending updates... the only template that is properly updated is the Default / Hot Coffee. I'm busy with the others.

[Stool]

:woot: confirmation that the playboy theme is not irrelevant! one day peeps... one day... :D cant wait

[thisgeek]

Like I said on the shoutbox, when I'm feeling really bored, I'll consider updating the disabled templates... but I'm seriously considering removing them. Updating each and every template is an IMMENSE task whenever there's a software upgrade.

You may notice that certain "nice" things have disappeared - like the system information segment. That cuz it's too much of a pain to edit each template to re-add the info.

I'm seriously considering getting rid of the game icons too.

[WingNut]

it's cool tg, thanks for all the effort. Templates aren't a biggy

[stoke]

Yes, who needs game icons .. i mean .. who even plays games anyway .. :rolleyes:
Hey .. perharps we can join the BF + SF + AF social groups instead.

[Badapple]

thats sad, i like the game icons, it's good to see what games the peeps are into!

[thisgeek]

There's a whole bunch of new features on the forum. I haven't had time to explore them properly yet. If anything seems broken, please let me know.

Extually. Everyone is sporting a BF game icon but hardly any geeks play! I demand that if you havent played for a month that you remove it! Alternatively just leave it.

ROFL... talk about exploring your "options" :rofl:

Thanks TG... I havent noticed that anything is broken(yet) .. which is a good sign... :thumbsup:

Thanks for all of your time & effort!! :bow:
It is greatly appreciated! :hooray:

:woot:

I would like to ask very nicely :please: for the WrG Grey template (or any dark coloured template) to be returned (if its really a shlep I understand). I struggle with my eyes staring at a pc screen at the moment as is, now that its such bright colours it really hurts, not trying to be funny or anything its just that my eyes are sensitive to bright light.

Thank you very much

[WondaWoman]

omw Hossy..you're soooo needy :gno:

[thisgeek]

Hoss, try the WrG FBlue template.

[voicy]

yeh, the FBlue is my default template - i never bother changing it.

Networking:

- contacts and friends
- social groups
- photos and whatnot


Is this the wargeek site or facebook? I thought we were ALL friends on here already. :hmmm:

[stoke]

Well, a BF social group could be a useful way of telling who does and does not play the game.
It's not the tool, it's how you use it.
