Known issues ***Please read before posting***
« on: December 15, 2011, 08:15:26 pm »
This is a topic of the known issues since moving to the new server and software.

All my membergroups are gone!

Yes, they are. We were unable to re-establish all the member groups with their proper permissions, including posse membergroups. Rather than a large amount of hours trying to restore them and having half of them go unused anyway this is the way we have decided to go. If you are missing a member group for your posse, have your leader send myself a private message with the following details:

Posse name (of course)
If you were a posse before the server move (it looks like we've recovered all the old forums so won't need to create new ones)
All the members of your posse which you want to access the private forum.
Any other details that you feel are needed

I will then go about the process of re-establishing the group and moving the private forum back over to where it needs to be. They are all currently hidden (to stop the general public seeing any possible "private" matters.

All my private messages are gone!

Yes. We were unable to convert them over properly. If you had anything that you really need (links etc) I can try and have a look at what we managed to pull off the old server but I make no guarantees on how that will go. I apologize for the inconvenience but we just were not able to save everything.

I keep getting logged out for no reason!

By default the system will log you out after a set amount of time (which you can determine). The default is 60 minutes. If you use the main login page in the menu bar then you can set your own time to stay logged in for, or even to stay logged in always. If you use the quick login feature in the top right corner, you do not have this option and will default to being logged in for only 60 minutes.

If there are any other issues you find please post them in a new topic within this forum. If it is severe enough I will add it to the above listing.

Thanks.

I'm obviously doing something. When I do a search there is just the numbers of pages that should have results, but no results as such and nothing to click on to see them :(

I'm really keen to recover some of the 'research' topics I posted (and hadn't yet copied and pasted)

You can't find them through search or normal means, you can only find them by posts. Look in your post history and dig around till you find it.

You guys are probably still setting up a lot of the stuff but I've noticed that there is no quick reply.


Also, is this the final skin or just a placeholder?


As well I noticed that the default action after posting is to return you to the forum index rather than your post in the thread.  I can't seem to find an option in my profile to change this.

Go to profile in the top menu bar, then click "modify profile" next to the currently highlighted "profile info". On the dropdown menu click "Look and Layout". Click the box next to "Return to topics after posting by default.".

First of all, thanks for coming back online.

I will then go about the process of re-establishing the group and moving the private forum back over to where it needs to be. They are all currently hidden (to stop the general public seeing any possible "private" matters.

We (Red River Resistance) had public subforums, and just one private forum. When I search my own posts, I don't see any posts from our public subforums. Does this mean that all subforums from old 'Multiplayer Posses & Gangs: Private Forums' are currently marked private and thus we can't access any threads in there, even through a search of our own posts?

Would it be difficult to restore access to our (RRR) public subforums, and just leave the private Gang Management private for now?
As it will obviously take time to restore the old posse members etc.
Will this be possible? Naturally if it can't be done without leaving our private gang management section private, then we'll wait for another solution.

Thanks.

We are certainly glad to see the RD.net forums up and running again. Thank you all for your hard work!

After poking around a little bit I haven't found the function to tag favorite threads or following a thread. Is that possible with these new boards?

Thanks a lot. :)

As well I noticed that the default action after posting is to return you to the forum index rather than your post in the thread.  I can't seem to find an option in my profile to change this.

I'll have to double check with quick reply. It should be enabled (or at least the ability to enable it) but will have to double check permissions for groups, as well as forums. If it isn't active I will make sure it is shortly.

As far as I'm concerned I'm happy for this to be the final skin, subject to some tweaking. Since SMF 2.0.1 is still fairly new, not a lot of skins have been created thus far. We can tweak and play around with a few things, and if a nicer looking skin pops up we can add that is as an optional to this one.

The option to return to the thread should be able to be found through your profile settings.

Thanks.

The process of re-establishing posse subforums actually won't take too long once you have PM'd me all the details required. Just specify which subforums are public, and which are private and I will do it as soon as I can. Playing around with making certain ones accessible now and sorting the rest out later isn't really advantageous as it requires a bit more work for little gain when you consider how quickly I could re-establish the entire posse forum.

We are certainly glad to see the RD.net forums up and running again. Thank you all for your hard work!

After poking around a little bit I haven't found the function to tag favorite threads or following a thread. Is that possible with these new boards?

Check to see if at the bottom of the page you have a button that says "Notify". That works in the same way as what a subscribe option works. If you don't see this link let me know and I'll re-check the permission masks.

Can you guys do name changes?

At the moment we are fairly busy sorting out some larger issues at play. Once we get ourselves back together again I'll explain the details about changing the display name. The actual username etc won't change, but the name everyone else sees throughout the boards will be different.

I think the quick reply can be enabled through your profile options. I did it that way and it's working for me.

Fixed. For some reason some of the defaults were to not count posts within that forum. Should all be good now.

Noticed that too.
Also to center things now use these tags

I'm sure Kryten will take care of all the little things.
We all need to have patience.
Tomorrow is XMAS eve and it seems to me he's doing all the work almost by himself.
Thanks a lot Kryten. :)

Hi Kryten. I sent you the PM.

One issue, i can't see my inbox messages. I know all of them are deleted, but the ones i just sent few minutes ago(and the one to you, i can't find). This new forum is confusing lol.

Nevermind, figured it out. Still confusing.

Happy xmas everyone.
