Title: Return of forums
Post by: MegaByte on February 13, 2008, 10:23:02 PM
The NWR Forums are back!
Please note that we are still in the transition process, so old messages will not be immediately available.  Don't worry, though; they'll be back ASAP. All old threads are back! Talkback will be returning shortly. Talkback is back and better than ever!
Since these forums are using different software, bbcodes are different.  Some of the finer details, such as custom smileys, the spoiler tag, etc. will be added in the future. Smileys and the spoiler tag are back!
Other features, such as the theme, are subject to change, but we just wanted to get the forums back up for you to use!
Post here if you run into trouble other than the aforementioned issues.

Your email is hidden when I look at your profile, I can see mine when I look, but it's hidden when I try to see it while not logged in.

Just so you know, the new forums are a part of our master race plan for the new-look NWR.  The problem that popped up with the old forums kind of accelerated our plans, but in the end it was better we got the new ones up sooner than later!

Now that the forums have mostly stabilized, I thought I'd go through and address everyone's concerns.

hay guys, don't forget to increase avatar display size to 100x100
hay mods, there seems to be a global limitation on picture resolution.
interesting stuff: Pro's sig had a huge, annoying blank space after his second link, which was gone the moment I logged on...
Can you remove the avatar image 100x100 resize/limit so small avatar aren't stretch to uglyness like Kairon above...

I have avatars set to a 100x100 limit with automatic server-side resizing when necessary.  If you still have an avatar problem, try resetting it.  In-message images have a 640 width limit, resized or windowed client-side.  Images are banned from signatures and enforced by CSS.  The big blank space happened while I was adjusting the CSS.

fun fact: I did a small change in my profile, and now my sig is borked :(

The old forum syntax is no longer valid, so signatures will break when you save your profile.  Just update your signatures with the new forum syntax.

Every time I exit the forums and then come back I have to login again, despite choosing to remain logged in forever.  I suppose it's my own fault for leaving in the first place.

This was a cookie domain problem when switching between nintendoworldreport.com and www.nintendoworldreport.com.  I've fixed this by forcing everybody to the single domain name.

Being able to change your name at will is rather convenient!

Augh I can't find the option to turn that off.  I might have had to disable it manually the last time this kind of thing came up.

Now just let us change out titles at will and things would be close to perfect...
Title are better given to, but it would be nice to have the personal text visible under the avatar in posts and not just in profiles....

Can somebody explain why personal text is necessary when you already have a signature?  It just seems like even more clutter to add to the side of the posts, but I can turn it back on if there's a good reason.

Every time I've tried to access them from the main page I get a page full of code. O:<

This happened while I was upgrading server software, but was only temporary.

I'm shocked that it all went through so well. Was there any technical thingymajiggies with the thing?
