1If you encounter something missing or not working correctly, please post here and we will try to fix it.

Try now. The max number for Forum Supporters should be 100, which is 50 more than regular users.N2darkness wrote:So, I went to my inbox and it said I was at 200% with 50 PM's. Is that our new max?

Will that be the only way to list one's collection? Or will one still be able to do a customized listing?Valkrist wrote:...- The collection field in your profile is disabled for now. We are working on setting up a standardized database of collectibles so you can simply check off which ones you own. This will provide us with a more uniform look and 'fun fact' statistics....
The idea for the collection field is still up in the air, but it will be either the new way or the old way, but not both. The idea is to provide something that is a little easier to organize and look at. For example, if you own UC's MC Glamdring, you can simply check that off from the available options and it will appear in your collection field, but written out the same way as everyone else that has it as well. We also aim to (possibly) provide a separate area with stats that says something like: 2% of our members own UC's MC Glamdring. Again, this is not set in stone and is a future project.Deimos wrote:Will that be the only way to list one's collection?

Also....glad OUR smileys are available, well most of them ...I like them a lot better than the stock ones offered.
Sooooo, where's our smiley with the tongue sticking out (not the Crazy one) ?
I'll take a look at our backup tonight to see if I can track down the rest of our smilies.Valkrist wrote: As for the smilies, I'm not sure what happened there. Most of our old ones survived the database migration, but a few seem to have gone missing. I personally plan to hunt them down and restore them if I can, fear not.
The old system stored folks' collections as a single sentence, basically. There was no restriction on the size of this. Most software dislikes this for various reasons, but in the conversion from old to new, the new software had a lot to say about this!Deimos wrote:Re the list of collections....if one has a LE or otherwise numbered collectible, will there be a space to place the number?
Will you have a listing not just for, say, the helm of Eomer, but a heading of the maker/manufacturer so the viewer can see who made the object.
I think that if a collectible is not mass produced the creator/craftsman/artist should certainly be listed, both to receive due credit, but also as an unobtrusive way to advertise his work.
Also, if you just have Arkenstone to be selected, it doesn't differentiate between the [very blasé] Badali version and the utterly fantastic Dreamspheres version.
My personal opinion: I think it should remain as it was in the old forum,
(Otherwise I will never be able to list Feanor as the creator of my obsidian Palantir ...and I really want to do that).
Say, maybe we can have a poll on that? .... Standardized... OR ....[legacy] customized listing.

Andrew, you've been red for years... lolThranduil wrote:Also, would you be so kind as to change my name colour to blue, or purple, or even green. anything but red
I know, and I've hated it for years!Valkrist wrote:Andrew, you've been red for years... lolThranduil wrote:Also, would you be so kind as to change my name colour to blue, or purple, or even green. anything but red
Oh, so Thrandy gets his own custom chosen color????Thranduil wrote:I know, and I've hated it for years!Valkrist wrote:Andrew, you've been red for years... lolThranduil wrote:Also, would you be so kind as to change my name colour to blue, or purple, or even green. anything but red
New forum, new look, please change my name color
That's it? That's all there is to getting the Chat Box up and running?Valkrist wrote:...With regards to the Chatbox, which some of you want to see back fast, myself included... again, it is not simply flicking a switch that will bring it back. We have to jointly decide on the plugin that will best suit our needs, release the funds from our treasury to purchase it, download and install it, hope that the process is seamless, then run it through the paces before enabling it for public use. All of this takes time, and there are four of us to consult and make decisions together, which sometimes requires a lining up of diverse schedules. So once again, please be patient with us. Things won't happen overnight,

Jeez...piece o' cake....
Thraaaannnndyyyy, I was jokiiiiiiiingThranduil wrote:.....Deimos, this is not about special treatment, if you want to go down that road, read way back and point to Fingolfin, because if memory serves correctly, it was he who requested a colour change years ago.
I was under the impression that those in red were forum supporters, as that was also part of my "tag" or what ever info is called.Valkrist wrote:Andrew, when a request for an alternate name colour to red was made, I devised a way to make it happen. Fin himself did not change from white to blue up until a couple of months ago, anyway.
I didn't take your comment to mean you were flippantly demanding a colour change, but was simply making the clarification that those that have blue names donated for that privilege. It doesn't make sense to implement a system and then casually disregard it when someone asks.
I'm genuinely sorry you don't like red. I had no idea you hated your name colour all these years. I'm not going to be so crass as to demand the $5 donation that it takes to get a blue name. I do so out of consideration for those that donated for it. If you wish, I can change your name back to standard white.
I don't feel as if people donate here in order to be recognized, but we use the colours and titles to show some appreciation and thanks. We never wanted this to become a bone of contention, and for that, again, I apologize.
Actually, what you are seeing are data bots produced by search engines. The most common ones popping up from time to time that you will see are ones like Google and Bing. Basically, any time you put a term into a search engine, these things called spiders go out and search the web for instances of that term, and some are led here. phpBB shows you when they get positive hits from this site, and also allows us to see with what frequency we are coming up on search results.Deimos wrote:Well, unlike the old forum , at least the spam bots identify themselves
As of now, I believe posts per page is a forum wide setting, not an individual user setting. Personally, back in the old vBulletin site, I liked to have mine set on 40 posts per page.Deimos wrote:Not a complaint or bug....
How do I set the number of posts per page?
Old forum that function was in the CP, and I'm sure that's where it is for this one, but I can't find it.
Valkrist wrote:Not to alarm anyone because it will obviously be a temporary measure, but we may have to take the PM system down until we can either mask that email or establish one that belongs solely to the forums, like the old forum did.
It is unacceptable to allow it to remain as is.
N2 first reported the problem with the PM system (private mail).Valkrist wrote:Grrrr... I thought I had fixed this crap. Sigh.
Ok, thanks, will try to look at it again tomorrow.
