From technology to politics to video games; these are the random thoughts of a geek with too much time on his hands

Huzzah!

We've completed our work for the night and the forums are back up and running.  You'll notice a number of visual changes, and you'll hopefully notice improved speed and general performance.

Please post any issues you run into here.  We've done a lot of testing this past week and tonight, but if something slipped through we want to know so it can be fixed quickly.

Thank you all for your patience.

The use of the double negative is a very passive form of agreement. It's like saying I can't disagree with you which is far different than saying I agree with you.


Apologies if a grammar nanny moment made me appear to be a sympathizer for *any* side in this browser insurgency mess (I admit the "war" is over, but things hardly seem orderly in the aftermath).

I'd read quite a bit of HTML in NCSA Mosaic before I ever saw a page with an image, and I'm still disgusted that the overall web dev community has lost any grip on the fine old notion of standards. A site that isn't truly "browser agnostic" is fundamentally less than it should be.

Hi!
When I click on the player's name and chose View players's profile, I'm transferred to User profile page. If I click there on the Metaverse Profile of that user, MY profile is displayed instead of his. IE-6 and FF.

Unless I'm mistaken that's the very issue described above by Mumblefratz (and possibly others).

Same issue using Opera, by the way.

If I use the "Mark all posts as read" link to clear all the 'new post' flags, the next time I fire up Firefox, those posts have the 'new post' flags back, even though the last post was a day or more ago and was just cleared last time.

So it seems that by clearing the flags that way is only a temporary clearing until you reload the browser. Now if I'd click on each post quickly and open each in a new tab to spam-open every one it'll hold the last viewed date.

I'm sure the metaverse link will get fixed as well. We've yet to release TA, so don't expect anyone to jump ship just yet

Thank you for this response. I do assume things will get better it's just that it's nice to get some specific reassurance. However as far as IE6 going away I think you know me better.

Also thanks for the tip about google with site:forums.galciv2.com. I never realized you could google a specific site.
