The New 5MV Forums

[Zeke]

Well, here we are -- we've moved from ikonBoard to phpBB. You'll definitely notice some differences. First off, obviously, is the skin difference, but I'll be able to bring over most of the graphics and get this place looking like the old forums soon enough. The bigger issue is features.

phpBB is, I admit, slightly less featureful than ikonBoard. That's okay -- we've got everything we need, and lots of extras. But if there's something you really miss, talk to me. phpBB is open-source, so there's a good chance someone has a mod to provide what you're looking for.

So poke around, learn the new system, and have fun! PM me if you have any questions and I will laugh at you.

[Kira]

Okay, here goes. I know this was a lot of work, but stay back! I have the Giant Stick of Poking! Some of this may be on the way, some of it may be gone for good, but here's what I miss on first glance:

-The "new post" icons don't stand out very well (totally missed them at first) though I assume this will be changed to our good ol' clocks eventually, and they seem to disappear a lot easier than our previous ones.

-You can see when the latest post in a forum was made and by whom, but the link to the actual thread with the new post is really obscure and I barely noticed it. That's kind of annoying and probably my biggest beef to date with the new boards.

-5MV look I assume is incoming. Check.

-Member titles? Does everyone still have one? It didn't look like it, but I'm admittedly very sleep deprived this month.

That's all I can grab for now. Other than that, lookin' good. I haven't had time to try out any of the new features yet, so I'll be back.

[Nic Corelli]

I love the new forums. The only thing I miss are the member titles. Any chance we get to write our own member titles? ;)

Oh, and as I`ve said already in the News, the Twisted Smiley :twisted: rules!

[Ginga]

Any chance we get to write our own member titles? ;)

*puppy dog eyes* Yes... we want that. Please? *more puppy dog eyes*

[taya17]

Have poked around a bit, and can't say there's much I have a problem with. Lack of member title is a sorrow but one I can live with. I am unable to post in HTML, though, which peturbs me since it's supposedly allowed.

Also, I miss the QuickPost feature. Guess I was getting too spoilt with that, huh?

Other than that.... it's a great new place. I actually like the smaller Last Post icons, actually. Adorable.

[Michiel]

I see almost everything has been saved. :D Great job! And you can allow HTML tags, but this time you can specify which tags are allowed and which aren't. A lot safer. :)

[Ginga]

Meh, I'm on 2 other forums with phpBB, so I'm used to it, meaning I really have no issues with it.

But... CUSTOMS... want to be able... to choose my own custom... @_@

[Derek]

One thing I notice right off the bat is that I can't be half-visible/half-hidden like I was on the old boards. I would set up my work computer to be logged in hidden, and my home comptuer to be logged in visible, so when I was at work, I wouldn't feel like I was slacking off by reading the message board.

Now I either have to change my profile each time I want to cloak/decloak or I have to come to terms with my own slackness. Obviously neither is preferable.

[catalina_marina]

The only thing I miss are the member titles. Any chance we get to write our own member titles? ;)
But come on! Choosing your own member titles isn't half as fun as letting Zeke do it! :wink:

However I do agree that they have to come back. I like member titles.

[PointyHairedJedi]

Woo-ness. It's all very shiny (in the Firefly sense of the word). And we still have postcount! WOO!

I suspect that once Zeke has sorted out the skin he's going to go on a new-title spree...

[Alexia]

-You can see when the latest post in a forum was made and by whom, but the link to the actual thread with the new post is really obscure and I barely noticed it. That's kind of annoying and probably my biggest beef to date with the new boards.

I actually thought there wasnt one...i have accepted and moved on. Then when i looked again i was like, err...where? Then i look real REAL close...and AHA! Yeah...that could do with being a little more obvious if possible! :lol:

(Oh and the lol guy ^...what's with the quivering lip? He looks like a laughing really posh english bloke with possible french ancestory; pehaps named Anton)

[NeoMatrix]

I like the idea of writing your own member title, but how about this. Let the other forum members write member titles for others, then have a vote.

[Sa'ar Chasm]

I've noticed that the clock doesn't adjust for daylight savings time - plus it was initially set to Alaska for some reason (GMT -9).

Normally I rail and rant about anything new, but there's not a lot here that annoys me (this is high praise coming from me). I look forward to the 5MV skin.

[NAHTMMM]

The only thing I miss are the member titles. Any chance we get to write our own member titles? ;)

I agree! ;)


(Oh and the lol guy ^...what's with the quivering lip? He looks like a laughing really posh english bloke with possible french ancestory; pehaps named Anton)
Indeed, one of the worst laughing smilies I've ever seen (no reflection on Zeke, he has to work with what he's dealt). So bad I much prefer to use the :D in place of it whenever I can. Which looks like it'll work since we've got the :mrgreen: smiley too :mrgreen:


Let's see. --Bah! I just knew it. :roll: Whoever decided HTML should ignore "extra" spaces should be imprisoned for life. :evil:

[Zeke]

First off, the one everyone's asking about: member titles. Yes, you will get them. No, you will not get to pick your own. The operation is a bit more involved in phpBB because member titles aren't a built-in feature; instead we have "ranks." That means each member title has to be created as a rank and then assigned to the one person getting it. So it's a bit more work, but I can live with it. You'll get member titles as soon as I've got a good start on the 5MV skin.

Speaking of which, you'll notice "Five-Minute Voyager" is now selectable under skins. If you want to watch the skin develop, you can select it now, because I'm currently working on it. If not, you can just wait till I announce it's ready, and switch then.

Kira: Good point about the new thread links. I didn't realize we did have them until you said so, in fact. Perhaps what's called for is a clearer image for that link -- I'll try making a little "Go To Topic" box or something.

17: HTML is allowed, but "Disable HTML" is checked by default, so you have to uncheck it below your post. Also, as Michiel says, only certain tags are allowed -- if you can't get one to work, tell me and I'll add it to the list.

Derek: I'll see if there's a mod to make that option available, but really... if I can't fool myself about slacking off, why should you? :)

PHJ: Oops. I guess you did keep your postcounts. Well, maybe it's for the best -- no gratuitous posting threads. Why would this thing keep postcounts and not PMs, though? (Speaking of which, if any of you have PM business at the old board you want to save, I'm going to get it operational soon at /forums2 for a couple of days.)

Neo: No.

Sa'ar: I thought I did set it to -- oh, right, the board's supposed to be set to GMT. It's ME who lives at -5 GMT. I'll fix that.

NAH and Alexia: Right, the smileys. Do you guys like the old ones better? If so, I'll put 'em back.

[Draknek]

You might be interested in this mod (http://phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=128153), although you probably don't want to install it manually (thank you, EasyMOD (http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/catdb.php?cat=26)).

[NAHTMMM]

ABSOLUTELY get the old smileys back! :mrgreen: I really do like the :shock: one quite a bit, but the rest--pfft.

You might want to keep one of the devil smileys though, Nic Corelli seems to have gotten rather attached to it ;)

[Katy Jane]

I second everything he said. :mrgreen:

[Nan]

I like the evil smilies.

I am pro-evil smilies.

[Kira]

Kira: Good point about the new thread links. I didn't realize we did have them until you said so, in fact. Perhaps what's called for is a clearer image for that link -- I'll try making a little "Go To Topic" box or something.
It was also really nice to see the topic title, so you knew what thread the comment was in.

[Zeke]

And that little feature crosses the line from "easy" to "interesting challenge," so I'll try it, but no guarantees.

[Alexia]

NAH and Alexia: Right, the smileys. Do you guys like the old ones better? If so, I'll put 'em back.

I like the evil smilies.

I am pro-evil smilies.
I totally agree! Don't suppose there is a way of having both sets of smilies? Best of both worlds?

[taya17]

Well, I used to poke around this Croatian phpBB forum for lesbians, and they had an absolutely CRAZY set of smileys. Hence, I suspect that smiley sets are customizable.


...WHAT? I wasn't trying to pick up a Croatian girlfriend, alright? *insulted sniff* I was trying to pick up the language, is all!

[Katy Jane]

Ok, this is probably a little nitpicky, but the post topic, and the preview buttons are reversed from the way they were (and its driving me nuts :!: )

Oh and if nothing else, it is imparitive that i have an :p smilie. ;)

(Hmmm I bet we can't use multipule :!:'s either. ;) )

[Alexia]

THERE IS NO CALENDER?! (is there?)

I loved that feature, you can see who's birthday it is coming up and how old they're gonna be and stuff...Is it gone for good, or can it be put it? :( :cry:

Also,

I totally agree with Kira, that was a really good feature. Challenges are good for you Zeke, you need something to keep you busy *Ducks* :wink:

EDIT: Oh, and you cant see the text of who posted in the double quote^ :mrgreen:

[Kira]

Am I the only one who's noticed that there's a huge blank area at the bottom of the threads? It's possible that it's an Opera glitch, but it's annoying when you hit "End" to get to the bottom of a thread and end up with your screen totally red or black, depending on skin.

Also, I can't read the text on the Submit/Preview buttons in the 5MV skin; it looks to be white or grey on white. The grey-on-white scheme for quotes isn't the easiest thing to read either. May I suggest a 5MV-red for quotes, or possibly the blue that seems to run through phpBB for quote texts?

[mudshark]

It's possible that it's an Opera glitch, but it's annoying when you hit "End" to get to the bottom of a thread and end up with your screen totally red or black, depending on skin. Might be an Opera thing -- not getting that with Mozilla.

I'm also getting the bit with the preview and post buttons -- they appear to be blank.

Other than that and a little smilie-shuffling, there's nothing here I couldn't get used to pretty easily. Looks alright! :D

[catalina_marina]

NAH and Alexia: Right, the smileys. Do you guys like the old ones better? If so, I'll put 'em back.
Yes, I quite liked the old smileys. Except the devil one, that one sucked. :roll:

I'm not getting that in either Firefox or Opera.

[taya17]

Oh-- and one more thing that I really miss... We used to be able to put pictures in our profile, but now we can't any longer! :( Well, it's something I can live without, I suppose, but it was a nice feature that I liked. :wink:

[Nic Corelli]

I also believe the smiley sets are customizable. Aren`t they? So importing smilies should be possible.

Also, IF THE TWISTED SMILEY GOES, I`M GOING ON A KILLING SPREE! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Here, this is the link to a Croatian forum that has hundreds of smilies - http://www.forum.hr/newreply.php?s=&action=newreply&threadid=58536

Click on the "Ostali smajlici".

Any chance of importing? From anywhere, not necessarily that forum? :twisted:

[Zeke]

I suspect that once Zeke has sorted out the skin he's going to go on a new-title spree...

And it took a while, but he did, didn't he? :twisted:

[NAHTMMM]

Indeed he did! :D

[Ginga]

W00h00!

...would it pain anyone if I said I didn't quite understand mine? ^^;;

[Nan]

I have a rank and a title!

*dances*

[Hotaru]

I have a new title! WOO! I saw you on the active members list for a long time Zeke, I was wondering what you were doing. Good job!

[PointyHairedJedi]

HotaruOrNot.com. Hehehehe.

Some of these are a hoot. Well done, Zekey!

EDIT: Also a question - are we likely to get the member picture feature back soon?

[admiral sab]

Oh I like mine! ;) Nobody else may get it, but I do! lol thanks Zeke!

Oh and Fuyu he's making a play on words. Don't burn her in effagy (is that the right spelling), but your initials are F.G. lol ;) I think it's funny! And it's not a bad thing to say you don't understand it. :roll:

[PointyHairedJedi]

Heh - I have to say I think one of the new titles is a particularly amusing. I think catalina may THWAP Zeke for it at some point though... :lol:

[catalina_marina]

*Thwaps Zeke*

[Ginga]

Oh I like mine! ;) Nobody else may get it, but I do! lol thanks Zeke!

Haha, I don't even understand that. :roll: But thanks for the info. :D

[Kira]

There is no emoticon to convey how much pain Zeke will be in when I exact my revenge. (I hear it's best served cold. Like, dumping him in the Arctic Ocean kind of cold.)

[Nan]

*chortle*

It reminds me of the Fiennes/Thurman Avengers movie.

[Zeke]

:mrgreen: Life is good.

PHJ: Hmm, hadn't thought about member photos. There's probably a mod. Does anyone else want that feature back?

[NAHTMMM]

Sure, why not? :)

[Kira]

:mrgreen: Life is good.
Die.

[catalina_marina]

Does anyone else want that feature back?
Definitely. I like knowing what people look like.

[PointyHairedJedi]

It reminds me of the Fiennes/Thurman Avengers movie.

Speak not of that monstrosity!

Zeke, do let us know in the event that you manage to somehow survive. :D

[Nan]

Speak not of that monstrosity!
What, the Fiennes/Thurman Avengers movie?

Or perhaps, the Fiennes/Thurman Avengers movie?

Or maybe the Fiennes/Thurman Avengers movie!

GAH HAH HAH HAH HAAAH!

[PointyHairedJedi]

*Plugs ears*

LALALALALALALALA! I can't hear you!

[Nic Corelli]

I want the Photos feature back, too!

I may even put in a picture, :D




*Thwaps PHJ with a VCR*

(it hasn`t been done for a while... :twisted: )

[Alexia]

Did no one want the calender back but me then? :?

[Hotaru]

I wouldn't mind having the calendar myself, Alexia. I'm pretty happy with the system now, though. I just wish that postcounts hadn't come, and that I wasn't surpassed by people who have been posting less than a month...


...There isn't a crying emoticon! That's what we're missing!

[danieldoof]

when you look very close than you can see: he is crying...

:cry:

Yeah sure, the calander was nice too.

Speaking of which, this forum has missed NAH's birthday. :roll:

*Wonders what Weltraum means*

*Goes to look it up*

[Alexia]

:roll: See! That's what I mean! HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAH for whatever day it was coz the calender is gone! :wink:

[danieldoof]

@catalina_marina
ohh :shock:
I forgot to erase that one :oops:
I just tried to import other smilies as images


weltraum means space
the whole address means: meaningless in space
its a german dub site for tng

[catalina_marina]

^Right. I knew that. Really, I did. :wink:

[PointyHairedJedi]

*Thwaps PHJ with a VCR*

(it hasn`t been done for a while... :twisted: )

Actually, I don't recall ever having been hit with a VCR.

Nice title by the way, Nic. ;)

[Nic Corelli]

Oh, I`m sorry, what title? :twisted: :twisted: It somehow vanished, and now I can`t bring it back... how sad, :twisted:

Ahem... I only accidentally discovered I could change it, so I just tested it... and forgot to change it back... I was planning to change it back, of course... But then Zeke replaces it with BRITNEY! OH THE KAHLESS, BRIIITNEY!

Evil Zeke! Evil, cruel Zeke! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

[Zeke]

Okay Nic, I've given you a new title. Try to change it -- I want to know if I've successfully disabled that option.

[Zeke]

In other news, you may notice a calendar.

[admiral sab]

Um Yeah I notice a calendar! But it's blank. How do we add to it? I have a dentist appt. I'd like to add... Heh. J/K Seriously, there's a big Days moment coming up I'd like to put on the calendar. (OK that was really just to annoy Nic outside of the Person Above You Game! :twisted: )

Ok for real, how do I add my birthday to the thing so ya'll don't miss it? huh? Answer me that and there might be a Danish waiting...or not.

[Zeke]

THERE WILL BE NO "DAYS OF OUR LIVES" EVENTS ON THE CALENDAR.

Sorry. I have an ex-girlfriend who's a big fan. Anyway, I'm working on letting you guys enter birthdays. The next mod I'm installing will provide User Control Panels like we used to have, with tons of features, including birthdays. Till I get it to work, we'll just have to see what else the calendar is good for.

Btw, another new option at the top is "Preferences." You can use that to adjust your view of the calendar.

[mudshark]

Hey, Gatac has a Britney
title and he doesn't
complain :D

[Nan]

THERE WILL BE NO "DAYS OF OUR LIVES" EVENTS ON THE CALENDAR.

Am I the only person who's never watched an episode of this show?

Mmm... danishes...

[Hotaru]

I've never seen an episode Nan, at least I don't think I have. I've been listening to alot of daytime TV lately, so I might've. Did it have anything to do with a girl being mad at another girl about a guy who wasn't wearing a shirt?

Yay for the calendar though. Great job Zeke, if I were webmaster I just would've told everyone to be quiet and forgot about trying to make things better ^^

[Alexia]

I've never seen one either. LOL nic, i didnt even consider that there might be a way to do that :wink: There's always one... :lol:

[Gatac]

Damn straight I'm not complaining about my Britney title. (I have to save my bickering for the Metal Gear Solid fiver.)

Gatac

[admiral sab]

lol that's ok because I've now managed to get the show discussed in two threads. That's enough to annoy Nic who is annoyed by Opium and I talking about Days. ;) LOL Kudos to you for knowing that Days was Days of Our Lives! Hee hee, that's more than a lot of people.

Sab

[PointyHairedJedi]

You know, I don't know if it's even shown in the UK. It's probably on some cable channel that no-one's ever heard of if it is.

[Nic Corelli]

Okay Nic, I've given you a new title. Try to change it -- I want to know if I've successfully disabled that option.

Yeah, you disabled it. You evil creature, you :twisted:

[catalina_marina]

Yay for the calendar though. Great job Zeke, if I were webmaster I just would've told everyone to be quiet and forgot about trying to make things better ^^
Oh now don't give him any ideas... :roll:

:wink:

[Nan]

You know, I don't know if it's even shown in the UK...

You guys have The Horrors of Corrors, anyway. :P

(So do we, somedays. <shudder>)

[catalina_marina]

Whoa! Where did it go? :shock:

[PointyHairedJedi]

You guys have The Horrors of Corrors, anyway. :P

And Eastenders, and Brookside, and Emmerdale, and Hollyoaks...

The Archers, however, is pure class.

[Zeke]

The bug that was letting people delete their member titles is now fixed. What a shame.... :twisted:

[catalina_marina]

Hey, I didn't do that on purpose! Really! :roll:

Also, thanks for putting it back. :)

[Zeke]

It was more Kira I meant. She thinks she's safe now, but I'm just cooking up an even worse one for her....

[Kira]

You're not the only one who knows how to cook up revenge, buster.

...which begs the question, what did I do to deserve a dumbass title anyways?

[mudshark]

The bug that was letting people delete their member titles is now fixed. What a shame.... :twisted:Aw, nuts. :(

It never occurred to me to make the attempt. :P

[Kira]

It never occurred to me to make the attempt. :P
Maybe because you didn't have a stupid title.

Wait, but you did have a title, didn't you? Hmmm.

[Draknek]

I missed Kira's original title.

Could someone tell me what it was, or would she kill them first?

[Zeke]

...which begs the question, what did I do to deserve a dumbass title anyways?

All I'll say is this: if people had to deserve dumbass titles, I wouldn't get to have half as much fun with them as I do.

Shark, Kira's original title was "Yo' pappa," as a counterpoint to mine. And you didn't just delete your title now, did you? I'll be really annoyed if so... I thought I had that fixed. Try it again.

[catalina_marina]

Try it again.
See? He's daring people to make him angry, just so he can be evil and get them an even more annoying title. :roll:

:wink:

[mudshark]

Shark, Kira's original title was "Yo' pappa," as a counterpoint to mine. And you didn't just delete your title now, did you? I'll be really annoyed if so... I thought I had that fixed. Try it again.Nope, wasn't me. I just noticed sometime yesterday that it wasn't there -- figured you might have been thinking up another one.

(I had noticed Kira's previous title, tho'.)

[Celeste]

Muahaha. Spotted.

[admiral sab]

What spoon? There is no spoon. According to Zeke, it's a cat. ~NeoMatrix



well, Cat, I guess you're going to have to change your sig...Neo's Member Title has changed.... and Zeke pointed out that it's a spoon. ;)

[Nic Corelli]

Well, I have a new avatar... Any chance I get a new, a bit less disturbing member title? :mrgreen:

Also, in the last few days the Forums seem to have enlarged themselves. They are too big (wide, more accurately) for my browser window. Anyone knows what happened?

[Zeke]

(I had noticed Kira's previous title, tho'.)

Whoops, it was Draknek who asked about that. Sorry.

[Kira]

Also, in the last few days the Forums seem to have enlarged themselves. They are too big (wide, more accurately) for my browser window. Anyone knows what happened?
Every thread on my browser is too long -- the actual thread ends about halfway down the page, and the rest is all just red. It's very annoying.

[Hotaru]

the forums are fine for me. I am just using IE though.

[danieldoof]

I use mozilla firefox

everything works fine for me

[catalina_marina]

What spoon? There is no spoon. According to Zeke, it's a cat. ~NeoMatrix



well, Cat, I guess you're going to have to change your sig...Neo's Member Title has changed.... and Zeke pointed out that it's a spoon. ;)
Not a chance. The circumstances may have changed, he still said it. :roll:

[admiral sab]

:lol: LOL I just got Nic's new title! and I busted out laughing... the light bulb finally clicked on for me! :idea:

I also love Draknek's BTW, I laughed out loud on that one too.

[Zeke]

Every thread on my browser is too long -- the actual thread ends about halfway down the page, and the rest is all just red. It's very annoying.
Unfortunately, I still have no idea why that is, or why it's only happening to you. Which version of Opera are you using?

[Kira]

7.10.

[Zeke]

Almost the same as mine -- I've got 7.11. Hmm.

[Celeste]

I'm using Opera 7.51 and don't seem to have a problem at all. Guess it's time you guys updated, huh? :D

[PointyHairedJedi]

7.51? Pfft. That's so old hat. 7.54 is what all the cool kids have. :P

[catalina_marina]

Actually, they don't. It's just you. :wink:

[PointyHairedJedi]

Well, I'm as cool as they come, so I think you'll find my point stands. :roll:

:D

[Nan]

Cool? Like Fiennes/Thurman Avengers Movie?

:mrgreen:

[Celeste]

Cooooooool as a cucumber, right Commodore?

[PointyHairedJedi]

Cool? Like Fiennes/Thurman Avengers Movie?

It`s happening to me too. And I use IE. Maybe I should switch, to Opera 7.54 for example?

[Nan]

*Wonders what this thread is about nowadays*

Poking Pointy in the brain, of course.

[catalina_marina]

Oh that's nice. So are they Jedi sticks? Er, I mean, Pointy sticks? :roll:

[PointyHairedJedi]

Brain. Waitaminute! I have a brain?

*Checks jars under the bed*

Oh yes, I do. I'd forgotten about that one.

[Nic Corelli]

Okay, I downloaded Firefox and the Forums are still too big for my browser window! How? Why? Help, anyone!

[Draknek]

Are you using an 800x600 screen resolution?

It looks like the top of the page is just slightly wider than 800 pixels - it should be possible to trim the sides of the image logo to make it fit.

[Nic Corelli]

Ah!

Well, I tried to adjust it in Properties - Settings, but there I can only choose between 800 and 1024. How do I trim it just a little bit (in IE)?

[catalina_marina]

Er, I think he meant Zeke has to do that.

So you don't like the 1024 x 768 resolution then?

[Nic Corelli]

Nooo... 1024 is horrible. Everything`s too tiny.

So, Zeke, could you please do this thing Draknek suggests? :) I would be eternally grateful!

[Xeroc]

Nooo... 1024 is horrible. Everything`s too tiny.

So, Zeke, could you please do this thing Draknek suggests? :) I would be eternally grateful!
Me too, it's just slightly too big.

[catalina_marina]

Nooo... 1024 is horrible.
Well, I agree really. I prefer 1280 x 1024. :mrgreen:

[Draknek]

Bah, you 1280x1024 people are a nuisance for wallpaper makers.

Although 800x600 is easily worse. Everything's just so huge.

[catalina_marina]

I hear ya. The one I'm using now is actually, er, 1280 x 1028, I think. :roll:

[Saxamaphone]

I agree drak - it's the only way I can get everything I need to fit onto the screen, to, um, fit.

[Nic Corelli]

Are you using an 800x600 screen resolution?

It looks like the top of the page is just slightly wider than 800 pixels - it should be possible to trim the sides of the image logo to make it fit.


Zeke... Please? Pretty please? :) :) :)

Nooo... 1024 is horrible. Everything`s too tiny.

So, Zeke, could you please do this thing Draknek suggests? :) I would be eternally grateful!
Me too, it's just slightly too big.
Actually I just got a new computer with a new monitor and now I'm using 1024x768, so for me it's not an issue anymore. But for them 800 people, it still would be a good idea to fix it.

Are you using an 800x600 screen resolution?

It looks like the top of the page is just slightly wider than 800 pixels - it should be possible to trim the sides of the image logo to make it fit.


Hmmm... Zeke...

If it is possible... and if it`s not too much trouble for you (if it is, just say so)... could you please do it? :) It`s quite hard to browse the forums this way, and I`ve been using the 800x600 resolution for 8 years or so...
