Well, here it is.

Known Issues
- I haven\'t copied over the private messages from the old forum yet. So, do not send any new PMs or they will just be lost.
- Moderators don\'t have their powers. Don\'t worry, you\'ll get them back. Erno, you should have admin privileges but please don\'t use them yet
- If anybody could make some nice 750x100 banner images for the top, that would be great. As many or as few as you wish

Benefits
- software I am familiar with, I will be able to add new features a lot more easily
- Photo galleries available now
- Much cleaner layout in my opinion.

Please, if you notice any issues, especially with Timezones, let me know in this thread. I\'m sure there are plenty of bugs still. Once I have finished porting over private messages and made sure everything is running smoothly, the URL will go back to just attnam.com without the \"new/\"

Thanks,
Capristo

PS - Erno is still the Big Chief. But since we needed to upgrade to PHPBB3 soon, which wasn\'t working, I decided to go this route. So think of my as the Webmaster while Erno is Administrator.

As I predicted, there are some problems with timezones. Bear with me a couple days

And it appears they are fixed. Make sure you report any issues in this thread.
Thanks!

Am I the only one thinking \"New Attnam\" vs New \"Attnam\"?

Ahh, feels terribly awkward, but I\'ll adjust.

Thanks a lot for making and taking care of this forum, Capristo and Ernomouse. You guys are great.

No problem Somagu Thanks for being a great mod.

Looks really good Cap! Will certainly take getting used to but I can handle it.

Looks great, I like this layout a lot more than the old one.

The arrows on don\'t take you to the last post as they used to, however. I\'m talking about the last post arrows on the forum index: f.ex.

\"Today 4:49 am
Ernomouse ->\"

Instead they take you to the profile, which is far less useful.

Issue 2: If I edit my post and post it, I am redirected to it. Opera loads the old post, and I need to refresh the browser to see the edited post. Firefox was fine, so I guess it\'s not your fault, but I don\'t remember noticing this one on phpbb2.

If this is New Attnam, where are the banana growers? Shouldn\'t this place be called the (former) Temple of Silva or something?

Thanks, I\'ll work on these today. The second issue is probably from caching, I think I know how to fix it. The first issue will be easy to fix.

Good point Atomic

Erno I believe I fixed the first issue; of course I can\'t test it until someone else replies but let me know if it is fixed for you.

Downloads for IVAN & variants are back up, without uploading functionality yet

New features:

- You can browse & search previous shoutbox posts (click history under the send message box)
- You can delete shoutbox posts, up to an hour after posting them.
- The \"who\'s online\" box at the bottom of the main page is automatically updated every 5 seconds through ajax.

New users may now register. I\'ve moved the website back to \"attnam.com\" without the \"new\"

Ernomouse

 Jan 12, 2009, 5:04 am
Weird, just now typing www.attnam.com didn\'t go so well, but now it\'s fine...

Edit: Also, thank you for fixing the arrows, but now the \"view new messages\" arrows don\'t work... I feel like I am making too many remarks.

capristo

 Jan 12, 2009, 6:20 am
The problem with attnam.com was that I was moving everything from the new folder just at that moment (I posted that it was moved prematurely)

Don\'t worry about too many remarks, I\'d rather hear more. You were right, I accidentally changed that and it is back to normal now.

And finally, the benefits of this over phpBB, some of which are already obvious:
- view latest topic in forum index
- send PMs to multiple users
- PMs viewed as threads instead of single messages
- archive old PMs so that your inbox isn\'t cluttered
- photo galleries
- polls which show you what you and others voted for
- polls are really cool to add try it!
- shoutbox has greatly improved
- layout improved, especially forums, topics, and profiles
- search members list
- give your post/topic a smiley
- long URLs are spliced, images are resized so that the window isn\'t too wide
- attachment thumbnails
- report offensive posts to mods (click the image)

I\'ve just noticed some of the longer titles are broken. Notably Fluffy and Norn\'s.

capristo

Thanks, fixed them.

Hey, here\'s a banner I threw together. Let me know what you think.

I plan on doing more with actual IVAN graphics, any suggestions? I\'d thought about banner that depicts a showdown with Genetrix. Another idea I had was a banner with a bunch of explosions off, i.e. in the mine field.

capristo

 Jan 14, 2009, 7:33 am
That looks nice Meepo and I can certainly add it to the cycle. Where has blob been by the way? It would be good to get his permission first ... also to make sure he\'s ok with them being in the gallery

I would really like something that actually says \"The Cathedral of Attnam\" in it, to be the first banner image.

chaostrom

 Jan 14, 2009, 9:15 am
Blob, alas, shall not come back for good. I can ask if he\'s okay with his art being used, however.

Comrade

 Jan 14, 2009, 8:07 pm
For the banner, i think you should put in the mine explosion idea.

why not?

Last I spoke with him, he said he was done with Attnam.

capristo

 Jan 16, 2009, 4:46 am
umm... wtf, no matter what I do, when I try to take a screenshot of the explosions, it doesn\'t take the screenshot until after they are over and the smoke is there. The screenshot bmp AND the Windows system screenshot. Can somebody else take one?

Meepo

 Jan 16, 2009, 7:11 am
I\'ll try to get one using Fraps.

speaking of which, they want to know if it\'s all right to use your artwork in a banner

the forum\'s been changed recently
bloc says:
agh man, most of those drawings looks bad now...
bloc says:
for the banner maybe you should not cut the head of the girl like that
bloc says:
( put here a bit lower )
bloc says:
( put her i mean )
chaostrom says:
I guess the guy that made it really wanted to show the breasts : x
bloc says:
but yeah sure you can use my drawings.
if you can erase the 06 after my name, its cool too
bloc says:
haha
bloc says:
possibly


Also, I don\'t suppose you can put some sort of captions in the gallery/photos area? The \"By capristo\" makes it look like you drew \'em

capristo

 Jan 17, 2009, 5:07 am
I know I can edit it so that it says they were \"uploaded\" by Blob, wanted to make sure he was ok with it first though. He thinks they look bad ?!?!!??!??????????????????????????????????????? Ask him to stop by every now and then. But thanks for talking to him about it

chaostrom

 Jan 17, 2009, 5:12 am
No problem. It\'s unlikely we\'ll ever see him on the forums again though. Too bad, \'cus I really want to see what his \"good\" drawings are like now

Ernomouse

 Jan 17, 2009, 8:23 am
Oh yeah, so do I. Someone should slip a copy of the newer variants to him...

For some reason, the site has been scaling wrong since last week. There\'s one centimeter off the screen, on the right side. Don\'t know why... I\'m using firefox and my resolution is 1024x768.

Ischaldirh

 Feb 21, 2009, 8:36 am
I haven\'t noticed this problem.

Ernomouse

 Feb 21, 2009, 7:24 pm
Yeah, it\'s odd... The front page is fine, but the threads are not. I think I first noticed it with the new quick posting feature.

capristo

 Feb 21, 2009, 7:58 pm
looks fine to me on Firefox. can you post a screenshot or something?

Something is funky with the new post arrow (seen from the main topic list). I click on it and sometimes I end up at the first post in a topic, even if I\'ve already looked at it before, instead of the newest post in a topic. What\'s up with that?

Ernomouse

 Feb 18, 2010, 7:15 pm
I get the following error when I try posting to the shoutbox via the history. Also, I don\'t see the southbox at the forum page. It\'s an old clitch but usually goes away by refreshing the page.

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near \'WHERE shout_message LIKE \'%/me tries to get the ball rolling again...%\'\' at line 1

You can\'t post in the shout history, that\'s a search box

But the shoutbox not loading is ONLY due to either the server being slow, or your connection being slow. There\'s nothing I can do about either one of those things.

I\'ll add a box so that you can post in the history as well though, since the shoutbox doesn\'t load for me sometimes either. I don\'t know why your message would confuse MySQL though, I\'ll look into that.
