Update: 9/17/2013
The mail server is set up so email notifications should be going back out again.
All that's left is some tweaking and optimizing so the site runs as fast as possible. Family is visiting though so I won't get to that for a week or so!

Update!
The domain name change has processed, and all things should be working. Again, please post anything you notice gone wrong here - images not loading, dead pages, etc. I will set up the emailing features when I have time, so still for now you won't get email notices when someone sends you a PM or posts in a thread you are following.
Thanks!

Hey everyone,
It was a long day... but it's done.
Mostly. You will need to re-select an avatar from the list if you had one before that wasn't custom. Otherwise things are looking good.
I am waiting to link up the domain name with the new server, so when that happens it might be on the fritz abit if you are coming to the site through the domain and not the IP address.
Some requests:
* Prune your private messages (you can go to the My Messages link, and choose "prune messages" there - delete the older ones please this helps out!
* Keep an eye out for any errors, glitches, etc. There are bound to be some!
Thanks for your patience everyone!
Best,
Greg

This is new and weird.
-
Looks cool initially.
I cant find an Outbox in msgs though, only Inbox..
-
Nice, simple, sleek.
?Love it!?
Tested to see if the transfer from Word to the forum still does the ? thingy and it does. When I try to upload my profile pic, it gives me an error message. I tried the URL and no dice. Not busting your balls as I love it overall but you did tell us to let you know.
-
"The attachments upload directory is not writable. Your attachment or avatar cannot be saved."
I get error as well for same thing.
Also there's a minor misspelling and punctuation error on the folder/thread path line, just under the main user tool bar near top of page. .
"Star Wars Sim Forum: Roleplay, Simming, and Fan Fictoin"
No comma needed preceeding "and" and "Fiction"
-
Nice, I like the new look, too. Even if it is all empire. :P
As for the comma... it's not wrong, it's the oxford comma. I usually prefer them, for clarity.
-
Seems that the warbooks link is missing.
-
Love the new look!
-
Thanks everyone for reporting these things
As for the title bar, its easy to change so its really just temporary for now. I need a good logo for the forum (where vaders head is) id anyone is into that. Then I can rotate the banner image...
-

at inbox, under the "Messages" button, drop down menu: sent items.
-
"The attachments upload directory is not writable. Your attachment or avatar cannot be saved."
Should be working now, including attached images.
-
Sweet. Lookin good Greg. I dig the swsf logo, you make? The art style of banner is very cool as well.
And to hell with Oxford! ;)
-
Also another update.
You won't get email notifications when you get PMs etc until the transfer completes and I can set up the email server!
-
Great job and phenomenal work for the new site!
One complaint: a little too "white" for my taste. Is there anyway we can personalize the color scheme?
-
No, there is no way to do this. Doing much change to the design will take time. Perhaps in the future I can work on an alternate coloring, but it isn't going to be changing for the next month or two. Sorry to disappoint ;)

Okay I made it a little darker for now.
-
Love the new look, very clean and much more professional looking. And thank you for finally replacing my banner image. It had to die.
Also, can't help it:
No comma needed preceeding "and"
"I invited my parents, Mark and Linda."
"I invited my parents, Mark, and Linda."
-
Thanks Erasmar. It will take some getting used to, but its a much more robust solution and much more sound security wise, too. I was also able to move to a new sever which costs 75% less a month :)
I'm thinking every month or two I'll do a new banner image with different star wars art, tweak some of the color scheme at the same time while trying to find a more decent logo that feels 'appropriate' to the SWSF brand ;)

THANK YOU! That helps so much. :)

Oh I had something else I wanted to mention, but I forgot until just now.
As I was messing around with the settings I saw the email options and it said something about a newsletter. Is that something that's ever been done? Would there be any interest in something like this? It's actually an idea I've had for awhile. Maybe a sort of "what's been happening in the galaxy." Recent events, ongoing storylines/sims/battles, random funny links from the OOC chat. Something to send out to registered users that we're still here and kickin and if you haven't been by in a while maybe come back and check us out?

There's someone else who had a comma penchant! ;p

I couldn't live with the old forum anymore, and the software had tons of security issues. Also it now costs just $5 a month to host :D
