    Good going guys. It's fast and easy on the sences. Course I know that other then the fact it took about 7 hours to get the database swiched over, but you PAID for this forum software.

    Can't wait until you get a new skin for everything

    I couldn't get the avatar image working.

    But it looks like nobody else could, either, with the exception of our Grand Administrator.

    Well, at least we have standard tags now. It'll make it easier to link to things. And perhaps thumbnails work now, as well.

    Yeah ... we'll probably be doing all sorts of things, tweaking and tuning and getting things up and running.

    I'm pretty sure avatars work. If not for you, what was the error message?

    His avatar was probably over the size limit, I have setup vb to auto resize images if they are over the limits.

    When I click the "Edit Avatar" link in CP, I don't have even an option to upload an avatar.

    This is everything I get when I click the CP link:


    The custom avatar upload options that should be present below that box are missing completely.

    Edit: Maybe you have disabled custom avatars by accident (for anybody but an admin). And maybe there are no default avatars, and thus that selection is not available.

    Dang, you hit the nail on the head, Kraco. Good work.

    We had profile pics enabled, but custom avatars disabled for regular users (which is, indeed, everyone but us admins).

    I've enabled custom avatars for all users. As an added bonus, I'm bumping up the size limit slightly, to 25KB. Max size is 80x80, for the moment.

    Mage: why do you think that? Because it broke constantly and didn't have options? Or did you just like the layout better? 'cause we'll be changing the layout in the near future, too.

    Alright. Now it works just beautifully.

    I'll be looking forward to what you can come up with the layout. This forums engine itself should be good as some uber bloated forums are using this with few problems.

    One thing to consider: The thread subscription seems to be on by default. Whilst it can be turned off manually, it's a good question if majority of people ever use it or benefit from it, so it could be better turned off by default.

    I like the new system so far, but I'm going to have to fiddle with Display Modes and all that before I really get used to it.

    Sorta sucks that everyone lost sigs and avatars. For me it was easy to replace but now all the people who don't come back will forever be blank names, not even with a goofy nerd/doctor/wheelchair face...

    What changes in the layout are being planned comp?

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    This'll take some getting used to. Oh, well, its all for the better. I like the look of it so far, though. Now I gotta go dig up my avatar somewhere.
    Edit: I hope everyone figures out that their time zone got reset. I thought it funny that my post was in the future.
    Edit2: I definitly like the new posts feature at the top. Makes it alot easier to refresh and see whats new.
    Edit: @Below: Busted!

    Damn. Masa got pwned by an url.

    I have to say the old forum system here felt a little archaic when I first time visited the place, but after a time you grow accustomed to things like that. Now this place, on the other hand, looks a bit generic, so in that sense it'll be nice once the people responsible get the new layout ready. The special Gotwoot atmosphere is a bit lacking right now.

    ouch kAi, caught me good there...

    Two Things:
    First: The logo at the very very top of the page. It links to the front of the forums, but its the damn vBulletin logo. How lame is that?

    Second (and much more importantly): The Search function.
    A couple minutes ago I ran a search for Ergo Proxy. Said it couldn't find any topic named that. Then I went and made a post where I wrote the words &quot;Ergo Proxy&quot;, redid the search, and now that thread came up as the result from the search.

    The Ergo Proxy thread is still alive and well (and just bumped with episode 2 I might add), but the Search function STILL can't find it.

    Not only is this annoying, but I guarantee the newbies are going to be making shit tons of repeat threads until this issue gets resolved...

    Me changing my Search preferences and whatever I can do, but the fucking n00bs won't know how to do it, won't bother to do it, and, well, you can figure it out from there!

    Save us from the n00b deluge before it comes!

    kenren: fusetalk was the system that the old forums worked on. This one is vBulletin. Edit: NOW the Search function finds the Ergo Proxy thread. It seems that it is only able to find threads that have been bumped after the transition to vBulletin. All threads before that aren't found by the search...

    Well, this is different. I hope there's less problems with slowness and downtime now. Defaults are always so ugly. I'm looking forward to the forums becoming prettier when you guys find a cool skin.
