[Joga]

How come I have weird box next to all of my threads now? I'm scared. Hold me. :insecure:

[KenKill75]

Ummm, not to be a trouble maker, but first we lose our post counts, and now avatars can only be viewed by clicking on a link, and I dont even see a quick reply box anymore. :shame: :down:

[Ryan]

:nanner27:

[KenKill75]

They're links now...WEAK!!!

[Ryan]

did jazz go bonkers?

[KenKill75]

He was downloading some new vbulletin update. I dont know if he knew what it consisted of or not. And there's no nice convenient quick reply box at the bottom either.

[iha]

I never have avatars on anyway.

[Keith Moon]

And there's no nice convenient quick reply box at the bottom either.

i've noticed a few quirks already and i'm trying to figure out how to fix them, so please be patient as i try to get everything sorted out. .

yeah, i was pretty disappointed with these idiots at vbulletin once i saw the supposed great changes they've made. now i have to go through each problem one-by-one. :sarcasm:

very, very pathetic. i'm saddened.

well you got QR working now.. unless you just took off the upgrade.

[iha]

i turned on avatars.. what is the point of an avatar and a profile pic if you have to go to the profile to see the av? :shame:

You dont normally have to. Its the update from Hades.

[phi]

Er...dunno if it's vBulletin or just configs on my end, but I can't seem to access the forums, i.e. 'Operation aborted' when I click, say, For Those About To Rock. I have to click the latest post for the latest updated thread then click Previous or Next Thread at the bottom of the page to view the other threads.

And when I logged out earlier there was an error before I could log out correctly.

Just FYI, jazz. Thanks.

[jazz]

odd, all the forums work for me...the problems i've seen so far are:

avatars are links now instead of actual freaking avatars.
quick reply is enabled and works for some people, but not for me and a few others.
when i click on another style from the drop-down menu, it doesn't change. i have to switch it under options in User CP.
and the arcade is not working (but i expected that one).post any other quirks you find here, guys.

[Keith Moon]

- As long as I'm still bearer of the sperm-filled balloon, everything is fine to me... :nana3:

i like how it highlights threads by clicking on the box

changing colours makes me happy

[iha]

:crying2:
will this chear you up? :iha: :iha:

[jazz]

ok, here's the update. i spoke with one of vBulletin's developers and he told me that some of the styles won't work with the new version of vBulletin. NOW they tell me this. :sarcasm:

anyways, he told me to create an ordinary run-of-the-mill skin and make it the default (which is hopefully the one you're seeing now). so far, it seems to work...the avatars are showing up, quick reply is working i assume (i'm using it now), IE works now, etc., etc.,

so, the problem lies with the styles then. i will contact the people i got firmament from and see what they say. as far as the arcade, i haven't heard anything yet.

[Antoni30]

Hey Jazz,

Love the new site design, colors, etc.

Was worried there for a while as the forums wouldn't load, but they do now.

Rock on!

[jazz]

site design? you mean the style the forum's using now?

[Antoni30]

yeah, that. Well, I guess it's been redesigned for a little while now, I basically meant the colors, white background as opposed to dark blue, etc.

Anyway, looks good.

[jazz]

well, i'm only using it because it works with this new version, lol. i'm glad you like it though.

[dionysusolympus]

The null overrun errors have seemingly stopped. But let's see how it goes, :jazz: ...

[jazz]

good to hear, dio.

anyways, i logged onto my account at the place where i got firmament. this is what was posted as an announcement:

The 3.5 gold release is now out. I will post announcements here when the skins are updated and ready for download. Don't expect to hear from me much until these are done

How soon will they be done?? As soon as possible.

so, as soon as they get to firmament and post it (lord knows how long that will take), i will hook it up along with scarlet. i may add another plain one for work and that'll be it. i will begin deleting all the other skins except for this one right now.

[bleuMadonna]

Yay, at least I can get on the board now. I kept getting the Internet Explorer can't open this blah, blah, blah and then *operation aborted*...

[jazz]

yeah, as i said before it was a conflict between the new vBulletin and the old styles i had in place (namely firmament).

[Antoni30]

Yay, at least I can get on the board now. I kept getting the Internet Explorer can't open this blah, blah, blah and then *operation aborted*...


Don't feel alone, I was getting the same message. Then I began to get paranoid, thinking to myself, "OH CRAP! Did I.T. block me from the forums?"

lol

[bleuMadonna]

:bleu: Yeah, I was thinking my computer or IE was having some sort of meltdown.

[jazz]

Don't feel alone, I was getting the same message. Then I began to get paranoid, thinking to myself, "OH CRAP! Did I.T. block me from the forums?"

lol
i got the message when i got to work. the thing is that we use IE over there and since it worked on FF over here (at home), i realized what phi was talking about.

[pappa roach]

no more evil skin?...........well fuk me running.

[Keith Moon]

- The default skin is the one that I've always used...and the work skin.

[jazz]

cool, so you're not affected in any way then. :nana4:

I like firmamamament. :nanasad: But I reckon I can tolerate this for the time being.

I'm not accustomed to this light.

It's way too goddamn bright. :shades2:

The great thing is that now that this is the only skin available; one can so opt to use darker font colours and not have to worry about whether or not others are able to read it easily. :wink3:

Jazzor, what's up with smileys? And WTF happened to Tristan's smiley? It was there 24 hours ago, but now it's not... :nanasad:

[jazz]

trizzles asked me to take that off as his smilie.

and what about the other smilies?

[Joga]

It went back to the old smiley thing, where you have to click on the happy face, and then it only gives you that little box of smileys...then you have to click on "show all smileys," instead of having it off to the right like it's always been.

[jazz]

it went back to the default setting? :shrug:

[dionysusolympus]

the smiley interface fucks up the work computer by messing with the main GUI...

i'm not sure about why that's happening, greg. i'll look into it.

anyways, i read that firmament is updated and ready for download. expect the board to go offline for a while later on today as i upload that and scarlet.

- If the work skin is available, could you upload that por favor?

no.

ok, just finished uploading everything. i even provided wide versions of firmament and scarlet for those of you who like it that way. let me know of any problems you find in here.

Are we ever going to get smileys back the way they were, or is it permanently like this now?

[Heath]

No new posts button?

:suicide:

[jazz]

No new posts button?

:suicide:
i don't think firmament ever had a recent posts button. :uhhh:

and joga, i could enable it, but what good does that do? it only displays from the first group (anger smilies).

[phi]

I think Heath means the line of 'shortcut' buttons that used to be on top, i.e. User CP, memberlist, New Posts, Arcade, etc. I don't see it either.

Edit: It's showing in 'Stock', though.

[Joga]

That's what it's doing now, in that drop-down. Before, they were over to the right, and when you clicked, it opened up in a separate window... I guess it doesn't really matter.

[RhinoWarrior]

Me likey

[Pun'KinG']

The door across from me opens; particles of dust swirl amidst the sunlight which gives it life. I peer up from underneath the rim of my felt bowler.
The backdrop of light frames the boxy figure in a foreboding silhouette. I squint involuntarily as my eyes adjust; the talons of my crow's feet well defined like satellite images of fault lines.

"Firmament?", I mutter in a doubtful tone.

Could it possibly be? Has my Firmament returned? I feel the insomnia of the future melt away behind my eyelids as a wave of relief drowns me.

I lunge forward in my chair, and proceed to plant my palms on the table to right myself, "I knew you'd come back!"

"Screw the formalities. Give me a hug you sonofabitch!"

:hug:

[Bruce]

Where is chapter two?

by the way, all those freeze ups you guys were reporting were because of a glitch in vbulletin 3.0.8. is anyone still experiencing that?

i am getting the same thing. it's all hasselhoff's fault.

[KenKill75]

Yeah, I just tried and it went to an error message

Ah well, looks like you're on it already. Good luck with it Jazz :up:

go to your PMs, and then use the side bar menu thing.

thanks, rob. and even if you make changes, hit save, and get an error page, it still went through. just go back to the home page and you should be fine.

this will be the work-around until i find out just what the hell's going on.

[jazz]

btw, the UserCP has been fixed. as it turned out, it wasn't an issue with vbulletin, for some reason my webhost put up a sort of security block in place, and that affected all of us from getting into our usercp.

it didn't make sense to me (still doesn't), but i contacted them and they have fixed it.

the problem is that it doesn't let you split the smilies into pages, it displays it all onto one page, thus why you guys sometimes get frozen up (unless you have lightning fast cable or dsl).

[Keith Moon]

- Actually, I've noticed if you wait until the smileys appear and then maximize the page, your PC doesn't freeze up. :shrug: But if I try maximizing the smiley list right away then it freezes on me.
