Forum Maintenance and Renewal

[Archeia]

​

Hello everyone,


We’re happy to announce that our new forum software is in the works and we’ll be having a scheduled maintenance on January 31st 6:00 PM PST. There is no ETA but this will take a while as it will involve some heavy transferring! We have taken most forum feedback into consideration and the following changes are going to be implemented:

• BBCode + Preview is now back!
  
• The forums would now link back to the main site like in IPS3.
  
• The theme has been updated to be less white and more on the bluish white.
  
• There is now a help section for our users to reference whenever they need to consult forum rules, Bbcodes and more!
  
• Trophies has been reimplemented. It might take a while to give everyone's badges back but we'll do our best!
  
• Blogs are now open for everyone. However, please make a backup just in case! Due to the new forum software, we cannot guarantee that the blogs will be safe. We will try out best!
  

Thank you everyone for your continued patronage. It means a lot to us!

Bluish white?! I hope I can take of my eyes. Prepare to be update!

Blue!! Yes!! Blue!!

Will this fix all the old topics with code inside a spoiler that's been turned into a one liner? Was wondering if it was just my browser or something else since I don't remember text/code in spoilers doing that in the past. Or perhaps it's just me?

That is a collateral damage when the forum changed its software. We can only hope that the new version will fix it.


For large scripts, it is quite tiring to have to redo the formatting by hand.


At least, data was not lost!

 

[Archeia]

Unfortunately for those, we would need to fix most of them by hand -_-;;


It definitely was an unfortunate collateral damage.

Nice - looking forward to it!


What is PST in terms of GMT +/- # hours?

 

[Archeia]

According to google Greenwich Mean Time is 8 hours ahead of Pacific Time

From all the colors, why blue?


Blue is the most eye killer color. >.>


Will there be any options to choose or there will be only one theme for the forum?


Ohh, well, I will wait and see before I rant about it too much.


I just hope nothing goes wrong this time. *-*

I dunno If this affects signatures... I best not take chances!  BTW nice and neat news about blog access! 


And nervous like I am theses days with my luck; thanks for the warning!

 

[byronclaude]

hmmm...   yeah....   the blue is not going to work for me...    ...could we maybe do something with a tan color, or maybe maroon?  I really prefer warm colors.  Thank you, that would be great.


Just kidding. XD


I am very happy to hear of these changes (even the blue...  because the solid white is horrific XD )

 

[GoodSelf]

Sounds like some great changes are coming to the forum, and I'm glad to be here for it!

 

[Marquise*]

ACK...  I just realized!!!  Does that means we all loose again our contacts???

 

[mightYXu]

This is great news. I really wanted that preview function. 

 

[Stanley]

I prolly gonna use the blog facility here for my RPG Maker project

Hello everyone, 

• The blue is not a strong blue. It's somewhere lighter than Baby Blue. It's the same as this theme but just bluish white so it's not searing everyone's eyes during the night.
  
• The 'followers' (what is it with new forum software naming friends as followers?) will be retained. I checked.

@Archeia TY for the verification!   (I admit at last change I was so bummed about it!  XD )

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

BBCode + Preview + Badges returns and bluish-white theme... Hmmm AWESOME!!!

 

[mlogan]

In my opinion there are some other new fun features I think you guys will like.

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

BTW, is it just an update to this current software or is it a completely new one?
