hehe I am WAAAAAY out of practice with that one.

Have installed a game arcade. There's a few games there, will get some more.

The government is certainly not using this cash cow to their benefits now are they? Personally, I'm allergic to the stuff, but don't see any reason why it can't be legalized with stipulations like for alcohol.

Well, I think you guys can see my quandary with this. I have no idea what all the different items DID, as I never really played in the store. What made me stand up and take notice of the points system was that weird accumulation I had. I wasn't SUPPOSED to get those points simply by visiting the board. If you had a bank account before, open up another, let me know, I'll reimburse the 100 points to open it. Your banks points are actually still there, not accessible until you open a new bank account.

Sure, I guess I missed it. Not hard to do, considering there are something like 250 titles in that section.

With the way the upgrade worked, and how everything changed, the cookies stored for the board ALSO changed. So, if you are having problems staying logged in, you have to clear your browser cache and history, close the browser, reopen the browser and log in. That should correct any difficulties because the old cookie will be overwritten with the new one. If you are using Internet Explorer, you may have to do this more than once. Also, I would restart the machine as well, to ensure clearing everything. No need to do it for Firefox, it's got a much cleaner function for clearing cookies.

Sure, they can be restored. It's a matter of my editing your file. However, given that there were problems with the calculations algorithms before(which is WHY I had to run utilities specific to the store), I'd also ask that you explain to me how you accumulated so many points when the thing was set up to grant x points for x actions. I can also point out to you what happened with my own account, maybe a month ago or so. Three days, no posts, no topics, and I accrued 25,000 points. Open points, not bank points. Obviously, something was very wrong. Also, please bear in mind that this was a MAJOR forum upgrade. There are over 30 versions between this one and what was here before. The table structure is different, the scripts entirely rewritten for the board itself. That the points even existed after the upgrade was a bit of a surprise. It's the only modification pre upgrade that actually had ANY kind of data that came forward with the board upgrade. I EXPECTED (and posted that) that ALL prior board modifications would be LOST entirely. For the store, the only part of it that correctly transferred forward with the upgrade was the member bank points.

Yep, or could make it bigger even

Also the Support forum, and the Bug Tracker

For future contests and what have you.

It's added to the forum base gallery B)

hehe thanks The "virtual brownies" are sure to give me the sugar rush I need to finish some stuff up B)

You want it for forum or archive? If you want it here, email it to me. For the archive, email it to manta2g B)

I've enabled the ability to rate topics in a few of the forums. The Art Room, part of the Beta section (where it was planned to have it enabled once the upgrade was done), and will be doing it in the Fan Fiction section as well.

Some other things that would be helpful, if you guys don't mind... 1. If you remember what items you've used, approximate cost, and what they DID. PM me the item with all that information. This will help me get the store rebuilt. 2. If you encounter any bugs while using it, post them in the bug tracker. That way, I'll know what to look for insofar as asking the modification author what can be done to correct it. Thanks.

Sure, I can adjust that setting now, not a problem.

Who says it's not appropriate? I think it's FUNNY.

Whatever was in your old bank account will be accessible once you create a new bank account. As I said earlier, part of the problem with the points was that the tables were accumulating them in an odd fashion. I actually accumulated points without posting for awhile (for about 3 days, maybe a month ago), until I compacted that table again. So, the only way to ensure that everyone had even remotely the points they were supposed to have was to run a utility that recounted everything. Once you create your new account (and this applies to anyone who had a "bank account" before) pm me and I will adjust the deposit fee so that it doesn't actually cost you points.

When's the last time you tried sending an email? There is a flood control enabled, of fifteen minutes. If you tried within that fifteen minutes of trying to send a mail, you have to wait, and then try again. I sent one to you, did you get it? Rechecked all the options, and you should be able to mail via the board.

when's the last time you tried it? Some members can set it so that they DON'T get emails via the board. Do a test email to me via my profile pls, and let me know exactly what the board tells you.

I'm VERY familiar with the books, and yes, this definitely covers much of everything that's been published and/or is known of the two There are some other outside resources I really should post that I think everyone might like as well, if they don't have 'em, like the Encyclopedia of Arda for example

It's no problem. Been dying to do this anyway. This version is SO much better than the old one.

I ended up fighting the head cold from hell, which naturally triggered a severe bronchitis episode (which I'm STILL dealing with) and feeling sick in general. ugh. Oh yah, did I mention the upgrade which SHOULD have gone rather smoothly but didn't?? So on top of feeling horrible, I got to beat my head against a wall while I kept working at it to make the damn thing WORK.

If you have questions about how to use forum features, pm me and I'll send you instructions. At some point (after I finish modding the thing) I'll actually put up some tutorials for some of the more advanced features for new users.
