    Forum Upgrades Completed, but the site is down.

    The forum upgrades are finished. The site is down. The site will be back. May take a while. I admit that I have no idea how to fix it, and that I have no idea what's even wrong. HOORAY. I'd say that I was working on it, but that'd be a lie. Rather, I am waiting to hear back from a few other people, who will tell me how to fix it. Because of this, game updates are gonna have to wait, as the directory is hidden from even me right now.

    Anyways, the forum has changed a bit. Blue Emerald's side navigation bar is gone. vBulletin was all like "AW HELL NAW, DIS **** AINT FLYIN'" when I tried porting it over.

    All our logos are gone, except blue emerald's. vBulletin threatened to cap me when I asked it not to throw a fit about the graphic tables, but it did, and I had no desire to get shot by forum software.

    If you want to make a new logo for either style set (...ignore that stupid default style. he's a poser, and I'm killing him in a while), go for it. post what you come up with in the imaginari, and we'll take a look at it. if we like it, we'll use it. keep it in the same color scheme of the style you're submitting it for, and make it RPG Maker-related, and I'm not talking just one graphic with the site name like our old/current logo(s).

    SOOOOOOO WHATS NEW?!?!?!?!?!?!

    Many things! Let us cross the super-bridge together and discover them all! Beware the cow!

    There's a multi-quote buttom, so if you want to quote multiple messages in a post, you dont't have to scroll up and down copying and pasting over and over. simply click each quote button in a post (next to quick reply), and the forum will be happy to assist you.

    Reputation system uses little pop ups (not in their own window though) now.

    GOBLIS ARE GONE OH NO. yeah, they're gone. they were big, they were multiplying fast, and making posts look messy.

    You can give "infractions" out now, under each user name. someone do something bad? don't report the post anymore, click the infraction button, tell us about it, and it'll generate an automatic topic in the staff forum for us to see and deal with! JAWESOME. [/streetsharks]

    Registrations all have to be approved by admins now. spambots = denied!

    Word Filter is bigger now! you cant call people ******s anymore!

    Edits dont take you to a new screen anymore. the editor pops up right in the post you want to edit.

    20 second time limit between posts instead of the previous 60.

    There's other stuff that I'm sure I'm forgetting about. And some I know about but its all about performance improvements and administrator controls and other stuff you dont care about no matter how much you try to convince me otherwise.

    New mods will be announced when the site is fixed.

      Nice!

      The new post layout kinda reminds me of Microsoft Word... but I'll get used to it.
      Keep the change.

          Everything looks so...wide. And the greyness of the reply boxes seems out of place. This'll take some getting used to.

          Oh look, you can change the size of the reply window.

            I can change the colors of stuff later. just try posting a link in new age pavilion's text entry block. it's invisible.

              Cool. All I know is I'm freaking glad none of the lame little websites I ever made were worth keeping. If I'd actually built up a community I'd eventually have to upgrade and go through all these headaches.

                Cool, multi-quoting is fun. Either it takes the order of posts quoted and reverses them, or it remembered which order I hit the "multi-quote" button in.

                And look, you can click a button next to people's names to go directly to their post.

                EDITED POST for no particular reason other than to see what it's like editing a post.

                Ah, that brings one to the traditional Edit Post page.

                  and just so people know, I know a lot of image links are broken on blue emerald. I'm working on it.

                  it remembered which order I hit the "multi-quote" button in.
                  that one.

                    You say Goblis are gone....but I still see them? Have I finally gone crazy?

                      I see them, too. Maybe it's just cashed in our memory banks.

                        I dunno, it just feels broken.

                          As I said in the other topic, and as I feel it needs to be repeated:

                          OH MY GOD
                          IT'S THE UPDATE HORSE
                          THE UPDATE HORSE IS HERE.
                          man your own jackhammer
                          man your battle stations
                          we'll have you dead pretty soon...

                            So is the "Today's Events" thingy at the bottom of the forum index also new? Or is RPGM's birthday pretty much the only thing that appears in it thus being something I haven't caught before?

                              Interesting.
                              If you edit a post,
                              save the changes,
                              and then edit it again,
                              you will have your original post to edit,
                              instead of the newly edited one.
                              Try it out if that's confusing.
