Good job Boner.  I like it.  One question though, what about our Banner and the name?  Are we the Blackrain clan now?

This forum seems to take a bit longer to load than other normal websites.  Is that just part of the update and it'll go away or is it permanent...
Title: Re: Upgraded forum, portal problem
Post by: *MAFIA* Bonehead on September 25, 2007, 07:19:50 PM
Its a server issue... If we could 100% keep the game server up I would transfer it to the dedicated... and we would have a super fast website...
Title: Re: Upgraded forum, portal problem
Post by: Loaded on September 26, 2007, 05:44:16 AM
I am just adding to the load time, much to long. Me, I don't think it is a server problem, I think it is a code problem or something else to do with the patch. IF it was server problem then we should have seen this slow load time before the patch install, unless you move the site over to a different server at the same time of the web site upgrade.

Hellraiser... Piss off, all I can say is I am not like you with a donkey saddle horn stuck up my ass. You have it there so long you have to have it as a avatar to remind you it is there.

Try using this, it looks like you with something stuck up your ass.

No its the same server, its just over loaded with users. Accounts, other sites. But I hope to have that fixed soon.

Bone... On the http://www.mafiaowns.com/index.php?action=who page people with e-mails showing, the e-mail address is running into the time column.
Title: Re: Upgraded forum, portal problem
Post by: *MAFIA* Bonehead on October 02, 2007, 12:52:52 PM
I didn't make the skin pawpaw but I'll look into it.
Title: Re: Upgraded forum, portal problem
Post by: Loaded on October 02, 2007, 01:48:19 PM
NP just letting you know. I think it is more of a code that is missing, either an Icon should be there for the e-mail to click on or a url link for the e-mail so it doesn't take over the column.
Title: Re: Upgraded forum, portal problem
Post by: *MAFIA* Bonehead on October 02, 2007, 03:55:49 PM
Well fix i pawpaw!

Post by: Loaded on October 02, 2007, 04:28:51 PM
Well send me the info (or activate me) to get into the Admin options section of the web page, right now all I can see is user/member options. I assume you would have to make me a "Forum Administrator", by the looks of it all the "heads" are in that group.
Title: Re: Upgraded forum, portal problem
Post by: *MAFIA* Bonehead on October 02, 2007, 05:01:04 PM
I can grant any option to anyone, even a reg member. But I don't know your skill level in php, html. I would hate to come to the site the next day and see some error deep in the skin and have to trace it then fix it.

Again if I knew what you can do I would allow it, if you knew what you where doing.
Title: Re: Upgraded forum, portal problem
Post by: Loaded on October 04, 2007, 04:18:11 PM
Understood, no problem...

Here is your problem that has to be fixed in your C-panel or FTP, you need to find out why your Icon is missing and/or code isn't set for "MSN". What is happening is that when a member adds their MSN info (I didn't know this until I was in the "head" group to check, so isn't a email problem), there is no icon for it and/or the code is missing so it is just placing their sign in name across the board instead of a icon to click on.

With all said, it doesn't really matter, I was just pointing it out to you.

If it is a icon problem here are 2 that I found, I already have resized and set as gif if you would like to use them.

EDIT... By the way, they are on a clear layer, for some reason that layer is showing black here (could be the board layer trying to point out the attachment), unless the convert did something to that 1st layer. Just in case I will post the full size image as well.

Title: Re: Upgraded forum, portal problem
Post by: *MAFIA* Bonehead on October 05, 2007, 02:44:47 AM
Thanks pawpaw, but what name of the image is it looking for ;)
Title: Re: Upgraded forum, portal problem
Post by: Loaded on October 05, 2007, 05:31:01 AM
Thanks pawpaw, but what name of the image is it looking for ;)

It "was" looking for msntalk.gif as the file name. The pic is installed and the problem fixed to a point, like I said above there was a problem with the resize removing the clear layer. The icon I used is the "little blue guy", if you would like the butterfly I could add that instead. In any case I will try and fix this clear layer problem on both icons and you just let me know what one you would like to use or i could find another type.

Not much of a job to prove that I can do this type of thing, but maybe it puts your mind to rest just a bit that I wont mess things up.  ;)

EDIT... I used CS3 instead of another program I tried and the clear layer is fixed on both, but I think the butterfly looks better then the blue guy, BUT I don't think either one goes well with this forum theme. I am going find a better match. Anyhow this problem is fixed. Maybe you would like to let the makers of the theme know it is missing.

Post by: *MAFIA* Bonehead on October 05, 2007, 06:26:19 AM
I am sure they know, or maybe they didn't want to use one. In any case you fixed it to "our" taste and that is all that matters. Good job pawpaw.

Great job Loaded.  You proved that old people are good for something other then pointing at and making fun of as well as making afghans and collecting minature figures.   :-* :-* :-*
Title: Re: Upgraded forum, portal problem
Post by: Loaded on October 05, 2007, 07:03:01 AM
I guess that is possible Bone, but how it messes up the column I think it was forgotten. I could say I am 100% on that because the icon I went with was pulled from another theme, I couldn't find one I liked on the web.

Hell... I am not that old yet.
Title: Re: Upgraded forum, portal problem
Post by: Loaded on October 05, 2007, 07:35:41 AM
I just wanted to add. It looks as if I fixed something else that I didn't notice was wrong... Now the Icon shows up under a persons avatar.

Good job pawpaw ;) I will send hell right over in a big bird suit so you can molest him. You know he likes it when people abuse him in costumes :)
