Status Updates posted by frstplce

  1. Ugh upgrade turned on importing of status updates. What a mess...again. Should be fixed from here on though.

      Just fixed an error in skin permissions that was keeping some people from using the Create skin.

  2. Mobile apps support for Tapatalk and Forum Runner have been updated. An updated standard mobile skin will be continue to be available for those without the apps.

  3. Tags are now required when submitting a new thread. This is done in advance of our system updates, which will use the tags system to greater effect for finding similar threads.

  4. Forum upgrade coming this month.

      Major? Or just tweaks?

      For the most part, minor. There's a lot changing, but most of it is mod level and system level stuff. The amount of code changes mean we lose a few third party addons, but generally things will continue to be about the same in looks and function.

  5. Server seemed to be acting up today with minor downtimes multiple times. I've rebooted the server, hopefully that clears it up.

      Seems the rebooting was pointless. It's a routing issue from the host. The server is working just fine, it's the network causing a few problems these past few days.

  6. A 26 year-old Liverpool FC fan was stabbed to death at a bar in London on the eve of the victorious Carling Cup final at Wembley. http://bit.ly/zOdIb8

      RIP. Atleast its being reported as not being football related.

      Not directly no. Still a shame though if he traveled to watch the game and never made it.

  7. Server had a bit of a spike earlier causing slow loading pages. Let me know if you are still having any problems, as it should be fixed now.

  8. Slow speeds right now? I'm working on it.

  9. Going to be a busy day. We just missed beating our record online users and the videos for the Arsenal/Manchester Utd. game aren't even up yet.

      As expected, a new record was set today. Nice to have so many people here!

  10. Spent the afternoon hitting the malls for after Christmas sales. Sooo many people. I think there were more people shopping after Christmas than before it.

      a headache, if that counts. Also some new clothes, another game, and junk food.

      Probably not, but it's all part of the 'fun' that comes with the holiday.

  13. We're running on a new server now so if you notice slow loading let me know so I can look into it.

  14. General slowness with pages loading today resulting from the network maintenance earlier. Hopefully this is cleared up soon.

  15. If I don't seem as active right now it's because I'm working in the background on a new server setup.

      Doing some other minor clean up around the site too. Reformatted the mobile apps page and fixed a language bit error in similar topics.

  18. Wrapping up testing of the new skin across major browsers tonight.

  19. Just deleted all 10 of todays registrations. All spammers. At least the system caught and banned most of them.

  20. Preview of our upcoming skin on our Facebook page.

  21. More updates and a new skin coming soon.

  22. Other Sports videos are now gone, and Tech talk has returned to the Lounge.

  23. Guest posting now permitted in non-video forums. Keep an eye out for spammers.

      Just delete those posts if it happens. I can always block IP's. If it does become a problem I will require all guest posts to be approved before being displayed.

      But whats the major reason for allowing Guests to post?

      Simple: making it easier for people to share their thoughts. Not everyone wants to bother registering, confirming email etc, just to make a comment.

  24. Steve Jobs, dead today age 56. Not surprising with his health as it was, but what a shock to the industry this is going to be.
