Missy Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Thank you, one and all, for suffering through the recent downtime, but I think you'll see that it was well worth the wait. Why the downtime? Well, we've been upgraded from v1.3 to v2.1.4, which sports many new features and makes some major changes to old features we've grown accustomed to. Collapsible Categories - Take a look at the mainpage. See those little minus signs off to the right. Clicking them will collapse the section that's underneath. So if you only come here to post about video games and Earth-2.net: The Show, you can click the minus next to the News & Suggestions, Writers' Corner and Comic Book categories, and they'll disappear. Click the plus symbol to make them reappear. Skins - Right now we're only working with one skin called Darkness, and more might be added later. When they are, no longer do you change them by clicking into your User CP. Now you can change skins at the very bottom of any page. Look at the lower left corner. Ignore Members - You can create a list of members you wish to ignore. Simply click My Controls at the top of the page, and then Manage Ignored Users on the lower left. Copy the name(s) of the member(s) you want to ignore into the boxes, and update. From then on, all posts by the ignored member(s) will read as follows: "You have chosen to ignore all posts from: [member name]." Of course this can be altered later on. Polls: 01 - Adding a poll is now much different! ---- First, click New Topic. ---- Then click "Click here to manage this topic's poll" next to Poll Options. ---- Enter a poll title. ---- Click "Add poll question" and add a question into the field. ---- Then click "Add poll choice" (up to 12 times) and add options into each box. ---- Write a message into the big text field, as you always would. ---- Click Post New Topic! Polls: 02 - Topics can now have multiple polls (up to three)! ---- First, click New Topic. ---- Then click "Click here to manage this topic's poll" next to Poll Options. ---- Enter a poll title. ---- Click "Add poll question" and add a question into the field. ---- Then click "Add poll choice" (up to 12 times) and add options into each box. ---- Click "Add poll question" and add a question into the field. ---- Then click "Add poll choice" (up to 12 times) and add options into each box. ---- Click "Add poll question" and add a question into the field. ---- Then click "Add poll choice" (up to 12 times) and add options into each box. ---- Write a message into the big text field, as you always would. ---- Click Post New Topic! ---- NOTE: Click here for a demo. As I uncover new features, I'll post them here. And if you guys find new features, feel free to do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drubot Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Awesome Job Yoda, although the Darkness skin is a little too dark for my tastes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted January 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I agree. But this is the best dark v2.1.4 skin out there right now. I have my eye on a few light skins, so hopefully they'll be uploaded relatively soon. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chops Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Glad to see everything is up and running. I like the addition of the multiple poll option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted January 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 I added several new emoticons: :youlose: :ph<_<r: :evilgrin: For some odd reason, they appear twice in the pop-up list. That's being looked into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darque Edge Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Am I the only one who has had difficulty remaining signed in between visits since the change? Each time I reboot my PC, I'm no longer logged in. Any idea why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted January 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 I just rebooted to test this, and I remained logged in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chops Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I just noticed that the administrator won't let me add a photo to my profile, but I can understand, you wouldn't want me taking all the trim around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted February 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Could it be a cookie thing with you guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darque Edge Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Turns out it was because I was still using 'forums.ipbhost.com', rather than the new address. (I tend not to use links, I just type in the URL). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted February 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Hmm. Now it's happening to me at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
