THANK YOU MB & MIDNITE FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK TO GET US BACK UP & RUNNING.
20+ inches of snow...no board :'(

(psstt...how come I'm not 'applaud & smite')?

Thanx one and all for getting the board back up!

All this snow and no board, I was going nuts. Not really, I was going nuts with Outlook Express! Everytime I tried to reply to an email, Outlook would suddenly say ERROR and shut down.

At least I have the new board to check out while my email problem is getting resolved.

It said when I FINALLY got to the board tonight, that I wouldn't be able to post new topics and it was right. But everyone else is! Is this something along the lines of ME being shut out for weeks, and when I get here at last I see that others have been posting for two weeks or so?  :'(

The conversion was only completed this afternoon, and no one has started any new topics since.  All the topics you're seeing on the boards were begun prior to Sunday afternoon when we went offline.

We're asking all posters to please not submit a new topic until we give the go-ahead, or as long as that request is on the 1st page.

Welcome back. :)

I just have a question but since I can't post it under a new topic, I figured I may as well ask it here.  What is the new karma feature (applaud/smite) all about and how does it work?

Wow - I'm getting all sorts of weird things happening on here -- odd error messages, etc.  Must be my karma - LOL.  Even got some kind of crash with a list of other people's errors, someone's password, and strange code up above the Forums logo.   :o

Can't do anything in my profile -- get errors.
We can't collapse anything anymore??

Thanks for getting the board back up!
I like seeing the posts that I reply to under the message box!

Got NO snow, no broad [the wifey is at Green Turtle Cay - see also her website], butt at least a board!

Why is the text so small [except for Connie and Minja] ?  [Size IS important!]  Is the test post by M'nite [1,2,3 below] related, and should I just be patient too?  Any patient needs plenty of medication.  [See also Roaring Chicken, Madman Medman.]  Please not to smite me!

I applaud yer F forts.

As the 1st page warns, "Please don't be surprised by anything you might see or that happen while you're there."

What are you not able to change in your profile?

If it helps, it appears that avatars are required to be 65 x 68 pixels.

Collapsing was a feature that was eventually added to the other YaBB version of the forums in an effort to save bandwidth, and with MB's most recent priority having been to get the forum converted and to the point that we could reopen, and with more tweaking required, that along with several other features have to wait.

I've already downloaded the Collapsable YaBB mod for SE. It will be installed soon. However, several of the mods I'd installed on the SP forum aren't available (yet) for SE.

Kuanyin, I don't know any details about the problem you were having, but a couple of things come to mind.  First off, following our move to an interim server about 3 weeks ago, emails were sent to all members on January 26 asking them to update their bookmarks in order to access the forums.  Secondly, there's a topic on this board called "Problems Accessing the New Board?" that you might want to check out to see if you can find your answer there.  Sorry, but I don't know what else to tell you right now.

Connie and Minja changed the size of their text by using the YaBBC size tags. This is the default size for YaBB SE. However, I can probably change that if people think it's too small...

Please not to smite me!

Smite you, Ringo? Now, who would do that? ;)


BTW, all the extra smileys we had on SP haven't been installed here yet.

Hi Midnite... [no waveys anymore] lol

Oh, I was just trying to take the quotation marks away from the words under the avatar 'cause they don't show up right.  It won't let me change anything in the profile - I keep getting the 65 x 68 error message but I wasn't doing anything with the avatar.

No big thing - just wondering.  (Got used to being a collapsed person).
Thanks for your and MB's efforts.  It's sad to say, but things just don't seem right when the board is down.   :'(
