Hello everyone - Detective - 08-29-2011
Welcome to the Neo Ark Craddle forum!
We have just finished the conversion, and everything looks nice. Shadow and I managed to get the conversion working properly after one or two minor hiccups, but tell us if you see anything strange in the forum.
We would like to ask you to please change your passwords, as the ones we gave you before were randomly generated and offer little security. Just use the user control panel to do so.
We'll be installing mods such as the reputation system soon, after we have all settled down for a bit.
As for the aesthetic side, we'll be installing new skins shortly. PHPBB3 demands us to upload the skins via ftp, so we'll need assistance from our system admin to do so. Before we bother him, I think we should decide what skins we want. We can have multiple themes installed in the forum. Right now, we have two skins that came with the installation and can be checked under user control panel.
You may suggest a skin in this very topic after checking the galleries here and here. Just post a link to the database so we can download it and load it up on the forum.
Don't worry, we'll be preparing a skin easier on the eyes as soon as possible.
I hope you enjoy your stay, and let us know how the conversion went!
Feel free to contact our staff with any of your concerns.

Re: Hello everyone - Dancing Kirby - 08-29-2011
The times are a bit messed up. On some subforums it said that people last posted on August 30th, which is tomorrow. But everything else looks fine to me.
Are we allowed to post new threads now?
Re: Hello everyone - YYugi - 08-29-2011
Looking good, different but I guess I'll get used.
Also...This forum has SPANISH Installed <!-- s

Re: Hello everyone - Rikku-chan - 08-29-2011
No one on fanclubs? Is it too late to send in an application so I can apply for the job?
Re: Hello everyone - YYugi - 08-29-2011
btw, How do you upload your avatar from your computer?
Re: Hello everyone - Detective - 08-29-2011
The times are a bit messed up, but that should sort itself out.
The looks will be changed once people agree on a few skins to install.
I think you can still apply, but I'll let the others confirm that.
And you upload avatars to a site like <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.imageshack.us">www.imageshack.us</a><!-- w --> and then use the "avatar from site" option. We are using that option to not overload the server.
Re: Hello everyone - YYugi - 08-29-2011
Thanks for the answer Detective ^^
Re: Hello everyone - Ishido Shuuji - 08-29-2011
Well done guys, the move seemed to have worked brilliantly.
Glad you'll be adding some new skins too...this one is so bright it's wrecking my head <!-- s:? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_confused.gif" alt=":?" title="Confused" /><!-- s:? -->

It took a few fixes here and there but yeah, it looks like it worked!
As for skins, thankfully THAT'S MAKO'S JOB NOW.

Re: Hello everyone - Blue-Eyes White Wanderer - 08-29-2011
I like the new forums and it's really cool that it was pretty for both you and Shadow. Other than the dates being a bit odd, when I put up my comments for the newest Zexal episode, it was in-between some posts from a few days ago, instead of being the last post in the thread. Other than those two things, it looks really nice. Thank you both so much.
Re: Hello everyone - Detective - 08-29-2011
We got the date issue checked out. It's a minor glitch, but it will fix itself in around 12 hours or so!
Re: Hello everyone - Ishido Shuuji - 08-29-2011
Minor issue but I've just been in the fan club section and all the spoiler tags in the Sly and Ruka fan club are messed up so there are huge images everywhere (and all from me I'm afraid). Are spoilers set up here yet or not as I tried to edit it but had no luck.
Same goes for the images I posted in the Green Haired Pyjama Trench Club and the Kaito Club.
Re: Hello everyone - Detective - 08-29-2011
Just installed a new spoiler code!

I presume you guys had to change everything during the conversion process, which is why they're not appearing, but... <!-- s:? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_confused.gif" alt=":?" title="Confused" /><!-- s:? -->

Re: Hello everyone - DARK MASTER - 08-29-2011
I like this forum system a lot.
I visit a BG forum here that uses the same.
So many options and small details to make it most convenient and cosy.
Like this little thing.
"My date format:" Chris never bothered to make free for the ppl to use as they whish.
For now I prefer the default skin subsilver2 .
It looks the most clean and ordered. A bit too bright but I got used to it thanks to Chris again not bothering to add new skins to Janime ;P.
Lol Silver XD.
Re: Hello everyone - Detective - 08-29-2011
Flash should be on. It is marked as on in the admin cp. I'm working on it right now.

Flash is having issues, but for now, I fixed up this code, for youtube only for now. I'll check up what's up with flash after that.
Code:
[youtube]youtube url goes here. Insert only what goes after the v= part.[/youtube]Re: Hello everyone - Siulzen - 08-29-2011
This place is looking great already.
A little too bright for my liking, but I understand you guys are still working on getting some new skins.
Re: Hello everyone - ebrietas - 08-29-2011
This is going to take some serious getting used to, haha. I'm not used to avatars being on the right.
Glad to hear that the move went alright though.
EDIT: Whoa, the font and size coding is all messed up. I tried using my colour and size code, and there was just this huge colour blob staring back at me. :/
Aaand, I can't use my icon either. Too big apparently. /destroys brain
Re: Hello everyone - Ragna - 08-29-2011
I like this forum, except none of my stocked avatars fit within the KB range. I'm naked!
Re: Hello everyone - ReaperRuler - 08-29-2011
Ragna Wrote:I like this forum, except none of my stocked avatars fit within the KB range. I'm naked!
I agree here. Gotta up the 6KB limit
Re: Hello everyone - cheesedude - 08-29-2011
Ragna Wrote:I like this forum, except none of my stocked avatars fit within the KB range. I'm naked!
I had the same problem. Took me about twenty minutes to find a new one with the right size. Otherwise, this is very nice.
Re: Hello everyone - Ragna - 08-29-2011
So, this forum sends automatic emails if you watch a topic for too long? Don' know if I like that..
But other than the list of complaints I'll have by the end of the day, this place is tight!
Re: Hello everyone - Geno - 08-29-2011
Regarding avatars, you guys can simply upload the avatar you want somewhere (like Tinypic, Photobucket), then enter the URL on the "Link off-site" box.
That's what I used, and it worked, my current icon is over 6KB.
Ragna Wrote:So, this forum sends automatic emails if you watch a topic for too long? Don' know if I like that..Weird, I'm sure the staff will look into that. I'm not too used to phpbb. Currently reading a manual on the whole thing. lol

Seven emails like this already. Am I really the only one?
Re: Hello everyone - Siulzen - 08-29-2011
Regarding avatar size, apparently this forum allows you to resize the dimensions of your avatar which I find quite useful.
Mine was also too big, but I simply resized it to the maximum allowed dimensions and all was good.
Also, if you don't like the avatar being on the right, I suggest you guys switch to the second available skin.
It should fix things up right quick.
Re: Hello everyone - MasterGhost - 08-29-2011
Woke up this morning and discovered...

EDIT: "Friends & Foes"? How... interesting. Maybe I should consider adding Chris and Cohen into the latter list.
Re: Hello everyone - Geno - 08-30-2011
Changed the avatar settings. The new limit should be 60 KB.
Assuming you decide to go with the "upload avatar" anyway.

Yeah, I'm not used to that either. XD
Either way, glad to see the forum move went smoothly.

...Didn't know that. Thank you. XD;
I've been mainly messing around with the date/time because I didn't like using military time.
Re: Hello everyone - ebrietas - 08-30-2011
Yes, the new skin lets me put avatars on the left. Yay.
Looks like the code's working again too; had to change the size portion of it.
Re: Hello everyone - YYugi - 08-30-2011
I wonder if we can post in the threads now since earlier I saw new posts didn't appear.
Re: Hello everyone - Geno - 08-30-2011
I'm pretty sure you guys can. People have already started to post in some places already.
As far as I know, the 'don't post' bit was referring to the old board at zB and not here.

It was. I can't even access any of the old stuff there anymore. As it stands everyone is free to Post as they see fit, there is just a wierd Time Hiccup - we should call it that - that means that all Posts Posted from now will appear somewhere in the middle of the Topics they are Posted in, that may have been fixed by now though, I am not sure. It should cetainly be fixed by morning though.
Re: Hello everyone - Dancing Kirby - 08-30-2011
Is there a way to make it so you're not automatically subscribed to a thread when you post in it?
Re: Hello everyone - Sword_Hunter - 08-30-2011
I just wanted to say I like the Phatom styles from the first link. I like the green most of all, but that's just because it's my favorite color. Second choice would be Dark Revil. I just thought that fit Yu-Gi-Oh best since it started dark. Since this place appears 5D's themed I guess just go with phantom.
Re: Hello everyone - Artemis - 08-30-2011
I just realized there doesn't seem to be a multiquote feature, or maybe I'm just blind.
Dancing Kirby Wrote:Is there a way to make it so you're not automatically subscribed to a thread when you post in it?
Seconding this. I already had to manually unsubscribe two threads after receiving email notifications about them.

You should be able to change that in the User Control Pannel.
Edit: Actually, disregard what I just said. You cannot.
