No! What are you doing Argi!

[DarkAngelBGE]

Yep, most of these things are modifications I coded myself, which are now gone since the forums are upgraded. I guess they will slowly come back. Let me fix the 0 A.D. site now first.

[DarkAngelBGE]

All topics are set as unread - can't change that sorry. simply mark the forums as read.

The WFG .ico thing is gone - fixed

Images in sigs are visible - TODO

Smily area has scroll bars - yep, that's how IPB 2.1.0 handles it

The instant BBCode bar (located right above my insert thingy) is too long - fixed; now with cool icons

Color of the Reply page is different - yep, that's how it is now

Group colours disappeared - TODO

Fast edit is missing - TODO yes, alas, will have to redo it sometime soon

Joined: is on the wrong place - fixed

Can't edit my profile/sig/avatar - fixed

[Lorian]

Just noticed the

tag isn't working in your sig

[DarkAngelBGE]

Yep it isn't. There are lots of small things I will have to fix the next days. I am veryt hankful for any help (in finding out about malfunctions).

One of the worst problems is the lack of the reputation system. However, all data is saved.

The Group colors are back now.

[Lorian]

Um, why can't I click on my username next to my posts to go to my profile?

[Ykkrosh]

What shiny new features are there that make the upgrade worthwhile?

[Mythos_Ruler]

I assume they are security features.

[Wijitmaker]

We mainly upgraded because of security/optimization reasons and also our contract was about to run out in a few days and we wouldn't have access to any future updates. But... here are some of the new features:

Wait a second... isn't that the same as Quick Edit? In which case it wouldn't be an IPS innovation. I've seen a version from WFG and another version in another forum.

EDIT:
And text sizes seem to be borken.

(i.e. the same code produces bigger text.)

Hmm... am I the only one who doesn't like the new blue background in the post dialog? It seems overly dark and such.

EDIT2: It seems seveeral of the newer members' accounts got deleted.

Tons more, too.

[Wijitmaker]

Oh, my I didn't realize how much I would miss that subforum mod you made Tim!

I think this has been mentioned, but new forum members have no names for some odd reason...

[Black Op]

I also noticed that on the TLA Forums, the avatars are not centered properly. You might want to fix that too.

[Dnas]

More stuff:

Several posts are gone.
http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.p...=0&#entry158811 - wasn't this one two pages at least?
The mod to the left part of the post viewing thing is gone.
A lot of people's avatars seem to be missing

[DarkAngelBGE]

Yes, all posted attachments, avatars and all that have to be reuploaded. It's almost 4 Gigabytes alltogether and the upload has been lasting for a couple of hours already. I think all will be up this evening.

What member accounts got deleted? Don't get what you mean.

Regarding the QUick Edit button: I have no idea why it is not there. It's not that it does not show up with the wfg skin, it doesn't show up for the 2.1.0 default skin either. Must be an error there, weird.

[DarkAngelBGE]

Fixed the Member Names, they now link to the profile again.

Signature Images aren't displayed anymore.

[Argalius]

Great, many things are already fixed! Good work Tim!

[Wijitmaker]

Nice progress Tim!

Perhaps it is an option in the forum config?

[DarkAngelBGE]

Dunno Jas, will look into this.

News: All "disappeared" forum accounts work again. (there were 4 of them)

[DarkAngelBGE]

0 A.D. "Latest X" features on home page fixed.
