streaml1ne Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 How come my username is red in the "Users reading this message" or "Users browsing this forum" status bar at the bottom of pages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamagatacamille Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 i guess it's red b/c you're under the group "financial contributors"; just like admin's have theirs italicizied (sp?) bold and blue, mods in bold light blue, VIPs in green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Posted April 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Long story short: SQL is having some problems, we're okay now, but still need to do some work on it to assure this doesn't happen again.I had to restore the whole board to March 29th, 2005. We lost a few days here, but it happens. Thank you for your understanding and thank you for being patient. p.s. Automatic backups for each day will go into effect tonight.

MZ-NH1 Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Yeh that must have been a huge bumma! Must suck.But the good thing is that everything is working again!Well done kurisu, good idea for a backup daily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peare Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Welcome back. I had to check over and over if it was working. I cant sleep if I dont check the forum at least twice a day. So, now I'm going to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted April 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Thanks for understanding, guys.As for the last four hours [and why it was down], let's just say that our hosting company is a little silly. Nothing crashed though, and nothing was lost - so don't worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted April 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 There will probably be some downtime today to correct some outstanding errors with MySQL. No ETA yet - most likely evening time, but it wouldn't be a long downtime [less than 30mins].p.s. kurisu is growing up, learning much about the world of *nix.

MZ-NH1 Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Was the forums down for most of yesterday?I wasn't able to connect the whole day basically from 11am-11pm....But it is all working fine now! Which is the main thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted April 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 Yeah, I'm not sure what that was about. I couldn't restart Apache because it has a passcode that is only known by the webmaster. It was pretty late when it occured, otherwise I would've called him.Of course, he told me today that he can call me anytime when it goes down. I can't wait till it does at like 3 am one night.

Christopher Posted April 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 We had a ton of registrations this last week, really cool stuff. Something like 110 in two days.I imagine having a direct register link on the main site in the last "Forum Focus" had some assistance in the matter, heh. p.s. For the record, three new themes, a Gallery, and a Download section has been added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MZ-NH1 Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Just one note about the Download Section... it seems to get back to the main Forums, you have to re-type the web address, or keep pressing back...This is the case for me, maybe have an Icon at the top, MD Forum, of the Icon on the Main Home Page...

Christopher Posted April 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 ANZAC? I'm too lazy to Google.I implemented just about all of your recommendations from that other thread - I think the Downloads section looks real sharp now. I'll be adding more goodies this week, hopefully a Sonicstage 3.1 installer too.Yes, I said Sonicstage 3.1 installer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MZ-NH1 Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Lol... ANZAC stands for Australian New Zealand Army Corps, they were the man and women who fought in World War I.Here is Aust. we have a public holiday, and there are major street parades in each state with men, women, and children to remember what the men/women went through in 1914....Yeh, the Downloads do look very good Chris!Keep up the excellent work!

Christopher Posted April 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 I would like to welcome Ishiyoshi to the moderating team. This guy is a real MD collector and I believe he will do well for the board's style. I know that his hire is a real quick promotion but the quality and consistancy of his posts have really set him apart from everyone.Unfortunately, I must note that dex Otaku will be on hiatus for a few months becuase of personal reasons.

Christopher Posted May 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Very brief downtime whilst the forum was upgraded to Invision 2.0.4.By the by, it seems like Invision is doing hard work on v2.1, which is still in late alpha but progressing nicely. If you're interested in how the functionality of the forum will change a little later in the year check it out at:http://forums.invisionpower.com/Register to get the full effect, espesically with posting full replies.

The Low Volta Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 kurisu, after having read a lot of "help me" posts recently...almost all of which lacked any mention of their basic specs I do believe it would be better if you could make the "Rules for support-related topics in this forum - PLEASE READ." line a bit bigger and stand out a bit more it must be tiresome to write: "please post your specs according the rules" all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
