Shorty

I'd... be quite surprised if switching to desktop mode did anything since it's a responsive design not a mobile theme. The broken buttons were an issue with my custom header, should be sorted now.

Ok those big ads are a bit more intrusive than I realised, no idea they hijacked links, I've turned them off.

@Happenstance Is that just the discardable ones or the ones that are there all the time? Can you send me a screenshot? Thanks.

The links work now that I've turned off Friendly URLs, I'll try turning those back on after reindexing/after support gets back to me!

Quite a lot more homepage links are down than I thought. Reindexing is crucial for that apparently and taking longer than expected.

See, told you we'd do it! Known Issues While the contents have been transferred it needs to be rebuilt and reindexed. A lot of this has already happened, but some of it (particularly posts) may take a few days (from what I recall of a test we did a while ago it took about 2 days). You shouldn't notice many issues and should be able to continue posting without a problem, but just be wary if things seem a bit odd that may be why. The rebuild will also fix the custom codes (such as colour, center, font size etc) so at the moment they're not working. The Twitter tag currently isn't working. It looks like we might have to manually convert these and if we do we'll just do it for 'recent' posts (no defined timeframe at the moment). The old emoticon used a space in vBulletin, but this software won't allow it so old uses won't work here (although obviously you can use it as I have done, it is just the only old emoticon that won't work in old posts that have been transferred). Again, we'll see what we can do with that but having to wait for all the reindexing to take place before we can assess the impact. Avatars and signatures are still being transferred over so don't worry if yours isn't available yet. A lot of links on the homepage, as well as forum listings, aren't working. They were when we tested earlier and we assume its while the rebuild is going on, but we've put in a support request. Things not being transferred We have decided not to transfer attachments because we didn't use them much anyway and they take up space on the server. Themes We have just two themes now - a default one and a Switch one. I know before we had a number of character-based ones but we know they weren't used much. We may do colour variances (which is what the Switch one essentially is), but if you guys have any pressing desire for certain ones let us know. They may change ever so slightly when we find new things/sections that we hadn't seen before and haven't put a matching colour on. To change the theme use the drop down at the very bottom of each page. New Features We are still getting to grips with this new software and obviously by and large trying to replicate what we currently had, however I have started taking advantage of the calendar feature to create a Nintendo Release Dates Calendar. You should be able to view and 'RSVP' to these events and also review them (in this case it would be a review of the game obviously). The future plan is to allow users to add events themselves but have them moderated. Calendar (discussed above) Profiles have cover photos now so feel free to upload one. User tagging is now dynamic (start typing the name and a list is displayed) Polls can now have up to five questions with 20 options (we can change this limit if there's a call for it) Once the dust has settled we'll start looking at exciting new things. Any questions or concerns pop them here.

Nice one Don't leave it too late or she'll make other plans! Where are you going to suggest? Pro tip, a firm suggestion of place and time makes things much easier than "I dont mind, how about x, I can do any day after x, what's good for you" etc..

So how did @Animal get on, did you manage to suspend your TV watching to read all the books? 5 years ago when people were recommending books, they probably thought there'd have been a new one by now!

I just want to chime in and thank whoever, probably @Emerald Emblem, recommended My Hero Academia. Much fun watching, was such a shame when I caught up all too quickly.

If I'm honest I've never been sure what brings it down. I think sometimes it gets hammered by bots, sometimes malicious ones, sometimes they are search spiders which are maybe struggling to navigate the lengthy network of pages etc., either way the site gets huge "non-legit" traffic spikes that cause connection errors across the board. Cloudflare's caching alleviates some of that pressure, but means you don't always see up-to-date content, and on it's best setting, blocks access from Tapatalk. Anyway, I've bought new hosting and I've been playing with Invision all day today and it's looking great, very excited to make the jump. Secretly a bit happy that I just got a 520 error while editing this post the first time because that makes the effort/money worthwhile

We rebooted the physical machine and it seems to be running well for now. However, I still want to get moved to new software and new hosting as I'm sure it'll come around again soon enough.

Yeah guys we're well aware of the issue so there's really no need to keep reporting cloudflare/page loading issues. Thanks anyway. Also the issue of content on the index not updating has nothing to do with your personal cache so no amount or variation of refreshing is going to help show up to date content.

*checks to see if you just edited that into the wiki*

How is liquid gas a real thing? You might as well say solid gas. You might be thinking of liquified gas, like... a liquid that used to be a gas? Anyway all/most modern fridges and freezers need to be left after installing so the oil in it can settle back down because it might've leaked while transporting it.

Ah yes, one of those liquid gases... :p

Prime 4. I don't believe it :cry:

That's a funny way to refer to QTEs! :p I think they took off in Shenmue and gained notoriety from Resident Evil games more than anything. They are definitely the only offputting part of what otherwise looks very promising.

The bright side to a Tory/DUP coalition is that it's fucking stupid and will either never get passed or fall apart in no time. Ideally.

Lava Reef Zone you're alright in my book @Aneres11

Personally I think Brotherhood was the peak. It was still Ezio, a full wealth of content in the same time as 2, it introduced - but didn't overdo - the functionality of building a group of allies and a "creed" of your own. Rome was utterly incredible. It tightened up a lot of controls and movement, and it added that amazing multiplayer. At the time when I was getting sick of all the CoD games etc, it was such a refreshingly original online experience. Kind of redundant because if I remember rightly, they didn't put multiplayer in the remake, but still had to sing Brotherhood's praises.

I thought iTunes was DRM free these days so you could just copy that music to wherever you like?

According to gaf they showed 24 games in an April direct that lasted 35 mins, so if they cut back on the fluff it could still show plenty. All I really look forward to every year is Metroid...

Just tested that one, yes you can. Feel free to sign up here and play around: http://c93172.try.invisionpower.com

What the actual fuck. You should complain, get your money back or a free ticket or something for their failure to eject subhuman morons.

Send it to me?
