Movin' On Up... Fractal Forum Migration!

Matt's busting his hump working on all this - note in the lower left hand corner you can now go with the original 960px width or a full screen version (aka "Default style").

Dig!
 
Yeah, I was just thanking you guys in another thread. Huge improvement.

Looks great and it's running like a champ so far.

Only other question I have is about the default age for 'new' posts? Seems that it's a bit on the short side. I looked in my settings and didn't see anything where I could specify duration or age for that. I mean if this forum had an insane amount of traffic it'd be one thing, but it's not that heavy in terms of new posts.

And yeah, that's probably nitpicking and I am definitely not complaining, just asking a question here. :)

I'll look into it.
 
Lovely! The new board is much more comfortable. Thanks!

I noticed that in the last couple of days, posting times have changed from Eastern Time to UTC. Is this by design? (Sorry if that's been asked and answered already — the forum search function rejects the term "UTC.")

Overall, the new forum seems great! My only complaint (and it's minor) is that all the stickies (at least in the General Discussion Forum) really seem out of hand now. They're huge and they take up almost the entirety of the first page (without scrolling) of posts. It would be great if they could be sectioned off and/or made smaller and/or removed somehow so they didn't monopolize the first set of posts so much.

This will get cleaned up in time.
 
If someone know if there is a way to delete an account, i can't find the knob.
Any idea?
 
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
'Relax,' said the night man,
'We are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave!
 
How do I change the permissions on my account to allow me to post attachments? Whenever I click 'Post New Thread', at the bottom of the new thread form, under Posting Permissions it says 'You may not post attachments'.
 
I've changed the setting related to the "Read New Posts" so it will act like the old forum. Let's see how that works.

bmi - contract an administrator to change your username. Members cannot do so themselves; nor can they delete their own accounts. (Why? Imagine how insane it might get when folks rip someone off, or porn bomb a forum and then simply delete and then re-register).

Smilies are accessable through the "Go Advanced" or through using the keyboard shortcuts.

Attachments being allowed are up to Matman. Send a PM to him with the request.

Excellent! Thanks for all the hard work, admins!
 
I tried several of Yek's topic links on wiki and they bring you to the Forum redirect page. Any way to reestablish contact between wiki and new forum?

Thanks....again. :lol

It seems to be working much better for the new posts now.

If you can't see the smilies and stuff you may need to go into the settings page > General settings and select standard or advanced editor. It seems that the basic editor is enabled by default which doesn't have the smilies or the formatting even in advanced view. Easy enough to change it once you know where it is.

The forum looks great by the way.

Thanks, it works. :D
The thumbup is always missing. ;)

Basic editor just allows Post icons, i have moved to "Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing"
 
Thx for all the work so far!
Any chance for a print.css? (a simple process)
I print to pdf a lot and I'm getting dark grey text on medium grey background now. Some additional clean-up would be a bonus, but no biggie.

Can you PM 'fractaladmin' with that request so he can look into it? I don't handle css stuff personally.
