Message Board Now Functional

The MB should be fully functional now. There are some things I still have to iron out (avatars, Tar Swamp permissions, colors, etc), but for the most part, everything should be good to go. If you guys see anything out of the ordinary, feel free to post it here. I was also able to upgrade the board from the 5.4 version to 5.6, so there should be some minor, but new features if you guys look around. :slight_smile:

Chris here…

The thing I’ve noticed is that the image tags for signatures no longer seem to work - note how my signature is now the text to its link rather than a display of the image itself. And like you say, the colour scheme also seems to need restoring. Other than that, everything seems to have integrated smoothly and seems to be working well! :slight_smile:

Oh yes, and we’re also missing our ā€œTCL Team Memberā€ bylines under our usernames, although this doesn’t bother me particularly. :slight_smile:

EDIT: It would also seem that the UK currency (pound) symbol isn’t displaying, as evidenced in this thread - http://www.thundercatslair.org/forums/showthread.php?t=1352&page=2 , where the symbol Ā£ is replaced with a question mark. Any ideas why this is? :slight_smile:

Take care… :slight_smile:

PM sent Manny…Shouldve read this post earlier but yes some things are not functional yet and the admin control panel has very limited options but i imagine it is due to the switchover.Pleasde check this new member,s (JadenArianna) post is very odd to say the least and it says Team member next to it http://www.thundercatslair.org/forums/showthread.php?t=1490

Yeh seems fine nothing major.. just a few things I have noticed… some have already been noted

  • This box I am typing into is grey lol (might be a mac thing)
  • The Forum Titles and Thread Titles are back and not dark red
  • Only Team Members have retained their avatars
  • Only Administrators have and [vb] code enabled in signatures
  • Team member titles have disappeared and star ratings have appeared
  • You are now limited to 4 images per post (including smilies)
  • There are a few other things but they are just improvements.. like little loading .gif’s lol (not important)

First comment is that I wouldn’t mind retaining the star rating on our titles if that isn’t a problem..

Secondly I suggest that we send a batch email to all members announcing the URL change so people remember to update their bookmarks.. If that is possible..

Appart from that, Glad it has been a smooth transition :slight_smile:

I’ve deleted this message straight away, but is still available for Admins and Mods to read.

This post is quite worrying to be honest, because it looks as though someone might have hacked into the forum during the move :yikes:

As for the other problems, I think all of them I had discovered have already been mentioned in this thread already. I corrected my post in the Tygra variations thread manually by replacing the ? with the correct £.

Actually my only other suggestion is about smilies. Could we get the most common ones (happy, sad, confused, shocked, angry, wink) to the top of the smilies panel?

Apart from that, great work so far Manny!

Ok just noticed all of the recent changes which is wicked.. :slight_smile:
One minor thing i would like is the ability to have a star rate for my post Icons like ***** etc.. apart from that good work :slight_smile:

It is possible, however you would end up having both the TCL Team member and star ranking next to each other. I set up the TCL Team Member as a rank and if you have 2 ranks they would have to be sdtacked.Hoped this makes sense. If you chose to have the star rank rather than TCL Team Member I can change that

I think you got the wrong end of my comment… I mean the ā€˜Post Icons’ As in the one I am asigning to this post is the :cool: icon… you see. In the past we had star ratings we could use (i used them when rating episodes in the talkback threads)

I am not too bothered about having a star rating on my user name :slight_smile:

Ahh ok i understand now…i can fix that once i get home. Thanks Kyle

Either Kyle or MannyC – post here whether or not you guys sent out a mass email to all the board members about the url/host change. Otherwise, I can do it as soon as I know no one else has. I don’t want to send out two. :slight_smile:

I havent sent out any mass emails to board members and I dont think Kyle has sent one either.I’d say go ahead and send one out Manny

I have not sent one.. go ahead :slight_smile:

Stars can now be used for the post icons

Great

yes noticed these.. thanks manny..:slight_smile:

Chris here…

Is there a way that images in signatures could be reactivated, even if only for (non-Admin) TCL team members? I miss the signature that Kyle created for me! :frowning:

Take care… :slight_smile:
