We apologise for any inconvenience" It's early days. The forum ONLY just launched, and the server is probably quite clogged with registrations. I'm told we've had around 87 members in 38 minutes. Don't be too surprised if things go bang in a little while. Teething problems that will be ironed out with age. Stop worrying about it, I've gotten the same message numerous times. A simple refresh will amend the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 Yeah the server is being banged around at the moment. We apparently had 110 users online at one point. I think Tim mentioned that we've had nearly 4000 connections and that was a while ago. After a few days the rush will settle down and it'll be fine.

Apple_NdiB Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I'm curious as to what this "group membership" thing in my profiles entails. Would someone be able to enlighten me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lammie Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 You can set up groups (a la' clans etc) sorta like CE Elite and add people to them. Groups can have custom assigned permissions and so on. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubechris Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 You can set up groups (a la' clans etc) sorta like CE Elite and add people to them. Groups can have custom assigned permissions and so on. I think. For example boards that only certain groups can see, for example the Elites, monkeys, or l33ts :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fierce_LiNk Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Well, i wouldn't say that "we are allowed to swear", because you can definitely post without the need to swear. Although, i won't be banning anyone if they swear once or twice. If they just spam and use swear words far too much, then i will be on their case. Personally tho, i don't think anyone has got anything to worry about on that front. The language is mostly clean, so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellfire Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Just as long as I can swear once in a while I'm OK. Anyway, what's that blue icon near the join date that says "*username* is on a distinguished road"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 You can use "reasonable" swear words, the kind your mother may not worry too much about. Just be polite, we all swear at times (despite what my ex-manager wished to believe) but no need to get swear happy. The blue thing relates to Karma (read seperate Rules thread). The more karma poitns you get the more squares you get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cube Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 thets how many people have put you as their "refferer" when they registers Why are postcounts visible in the profile? i thaught you had turned them off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. Jordan told me it was how many people had reported "bad posts" about you. I've been beating myself up about it for the last hour cos i thought i was unloved. Um, as far as i know, it wasn't possible to remove the post counts. We've removed them off the forum pages, but you can still see the count in your profile. I think there wasn't a way around that.

Bowser57 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 So with this being the new forum for a new site, will folks that may have been banned from Cube Europe be allowed to sign up here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 How do we know who's male or female on the boards? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadKill Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 They should totally increase the profile picture size (dimensions) I posted a thread solely about this but I didn't want to start arguments. Needless to say someone should check it out and fix it (Because it's mathematically nonsensical). Oooh and avatar text, where are you my sweet puppy? (Hence my edited avatar).

the_tornado Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 How do we know who's male or female on the boards? jsut make a topic about with the feature that you can see who voted and who not, and maybe there a feature for Vbulletin for showing that...

Fierce_LiNk Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Piro and Bowser, we'll definitely look into that. Dante, i'm not sure myself. Although, to be honest, i haven't looked for anything that tells you about gender on these new boards yet. Still getting used to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
