Schot 407 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Hey hey all. Well things are moving and moving fast it seems. Our Forum software provider has released yet another upgrade for the forum which will improve the efficiency of our home here as well as adding some fancy new locks to improve security. This won't be as involving as the last one though. Fear not. We will be down sometime within the next few days but the amount of downtime is expected to only last 20 minutes. Not too painful I hope. We'll have the bar stocked doubley to make up for the trauma of the being cut off though. Bigger Better Faster Stronger. Cheers! Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I'm battening down the hatches and getting ready for another one. Apparently, word is that this next version of our software comes with an even faster engine with some great skin options. Here's to the next update! gogo Link to comment

gogoblender 3,070 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 lol, nothing quite as dramatic is this last one. Quicker speed and some skin options. I'm crossing me fingers with ya myles. gogo Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 The new update snuck up in on us during the middle of the night, lol! A few of the bbcodes don't seem to be working, namely videos. If you guys notice that or anything else that is out of sync, please post commentary here and we'll get to them as fast as we can. Cheers! gogo p.s. there is a new skin offerred by ipb with this update. It's called Pro and you can switch to it by using the skin selector bottom left of the Index (Front) page. Link to comment
Rotluchs 82 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 will I be able to edit my own posts again ? Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Good question Rotluchs The member group that you are in allows editing of all posts up to 24 hours after the post has been made. This helps with the workload of the mod team in checking links, posts and movies for dubious anythings . However, with the large number of reference contributions now being submitted to DarkMatters, we've been asked this question a few times now over the last little regarding better editing privilleges for community members that are not a part of the Fellowship. What we can say about this is that we are studying the creation of a special user group that will be a members group but possess better editing rights with applications for this group open to anyone that wants to apply for it via pm to an admin. We will then review the applicant's history and pm back a response. We'll make an announcement regarding this shortly. In the interim, anyone that wishes to go back in and edit a post they have made that has exceeded the 24 hour limit, need only pm any admin and we will accord tempory editing rights to any trust person. We only ask that the person pm us back saying they are finished after which we will return the rights back to normal. Hope this helps Cheers! gogo Link to comment

Rotluchs 82 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 (edited) Hi, just wanted to point out to this, as a small reminder... it's been quite a long time... ''Will I ever be able to edit own posts&threads I started myself?'' (at least I had forgotten it completely, but recently it came up to my mind again when I tried to edit the Mythos Account&Charname List: Good question Rotluchs The member group that you are in allows editing of all posts up to 24 hours after the post has been made.
