For those curious, it's just a basic forum backbone update. Nothing crazy will come with this.

[Spartanbh]

[VerbotenDonkey]

Check the title.

[Bodaciousbaconn]

Yeah... Met dun derp'd, I believe.

[Metkil5685]

Today is the 8th. Alert was posted on the 8th. Thus the title date is the 8th.

[VerbotenDonkey]

Just a basic software update. Security fixes and what not. Nothing crazy.

[GhostHammer]

Way to derp it up everyone. For those who may still be confused due to over derping the derping derp derper, the update is one...

February 14th 2012 at 8PM EST

Now back to your regular scheduled derping...

[Nocte]

Just a basic software update. Security fixes and what not. Nothing crazy.

So we're updating Skynet again?

[silversleek]

so is this going to be like that one one-day transfer? ^_^

[RENGADE 0F FUNK]

By 3-5 hours do you mean 3-5 hours or 3-5 days like last time?

[Yehsus]

All this derping really has me derpped up.

[Juggernaut9473]

so...much...derping

[Blackhawk570]

Let the Derp be with you

[Metkil5685]

The last major update I did was a full domain and server transfer. That process takes a week. This is just patching. Most of the time it only takes me 30 minutes to do it, but I like to give myself a buffer. I actually have done this quite a bit in the past and barely any of you guys notice.

[Puba]

i LOL'd this whole thread xD

[Vestige]

^ I think we all did.

[Metkil5685]

Website will be down from about 10:30pm to about midnight. Have to push maintenance a little.

[Salvanous]

Yay, site is still here! High five Metkil! XD

[Mythonian]

Wooh, time to start manually updating templates!

xD

[Salvanous]

just noticed, coloring for background in blog comments is off. Not sure if you meant to have it that color, but pretty sure that wasn't your intention.

[Metkil5685]

Want some serious laughs? Go look at the vBookie page. That's a fun one.

[Salvanous]

fair enough, just thought I would point it out just in case. :)

[Mythonian]

If you see a bug or have a suggestion to improve the aesthetics of the site, please use the Bug Report (http://fcwars.net/forums/showthread.php?34-Bug-Report%21) thread.

Numerous bug-fixing and small adjustments will be made over the next 24 hours. We'll get the site looking good again.

[Salvanous]

Okay, LOVE that ranks show in profiles. Can I suggest that you center ranks/title/username though, like I suggested we center avatars a while back?

[Blackhawk570]

The site is still here, i can finally go to sleep

[bazongaman502]

yeah i have a bug report... i didnt have the oppertunity to log on and see the website in maitenence (however the fuck you people spell it)... instead i accidently logg out, leave for a little over an hour and BAM! website is apparently back up and running.... I MISSED IT!!!! DO IT AGAIN!!! NOA! lol

[Nocte]

So what exactly changed? I mean the big things I've noticed is the bottom where is displays all currently online users. The icon from my webpage on Chrome is the V for v bulletin. Then the white lines in posts.

[RaZ Vader]

3 minor issues to report to my admin team:

-White letters/white box, hard to see on a variety of pages.
-"FC" Logo is no longer present in the Tab Images in the browser.
- and Agreed about the rank images/ribbons need to be centered in the profile.

[Salvanous]

Umm... not sure if I should suggest this here or if I should make it a different thread, but any chance of getting the ability to see a member log along with a "recently joined member" link, this would allow us to view the newer members faster, and possibly make their first few days on the site a little easier.

[MedeDust]

Hmmmm there's a video code now.

[Mythonian]

Check list:

Completed

Style templates updated to newest version.
Favicon re-enabled.


To Be Done

vBookie page needs to be fixed.
Poor color contrast instances -

"Welcome" in header
Above thread/forum moderation bar
Blog page sidebar tabs
Sub-navbar dropdown menus
Popup for inserting URL/etc. into post
Notification popout


"Back to top" button fixed
"What's Going On?" area information un-centered.
Search option is screwy.
Notification popout size
Profile ranks centered
Profile rank width maximum



If anyone knows of things to add, let us know!

I'll try to keep this post updated as things are fixed.

[Salvanous]

Is it possible to add a "recently joined" member listing so that we can be sure to welcome incoming members?

[VerbotenDonkey]

Well it does show the newest member at the bottom, but it only shows the most recent.

[Metkil5685]

Just a heads up. I may off to take the forums down for a bit either tonight or tomorrow. There's a few problems that I was not expecting I need to address.

[VerbotenDonkey]

T_T

But I need forums for LARP.

Nah, do what you have to do.

We have facebook, plus I'll be writing the next entries tonight or tomorrow.

[VerbotenDonkey]

Yeah but not everyone is on the Facebook group.
