Maintenance and Chaos...
 

Due to it being thanksgiving holidays here in the good old US of A right now, I may get time to upgrade the forum software. I've done a fair bit of prep work so hopefully when I do pull the plug, the site shouldn't be down for more than about 8 hours! :eek:

I plan to start this tomorrow evening (Saturday 24th Nov), at around 22:00 UK time (maybe earlier, maybe not then at all).

I will warn you now, when the site comes back, it shall have some differences, and I'm sure 90% of you will hate it. But, needs must and I just have to get us onto some more up to date software :D

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

90% of us Roy....don't you want to upgrade that estimate to 95%(sorry, I couldn't resist) :D

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

thats a bit short notice, it doesn't give me time to get sedatives to cope without the site not being there.

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

The members are revolting - I know, I know...

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

I like it the way it is now !

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

Ok, we are back! I couldn't go through with the super duper total change upgrade, I just didn't have the style right yet. However all the forum/gallery/blogs etc have been updated and some small changes made.
Let me know what problems you have and I'll try to get them sorted out this week. The gallery could have lots of problems, as I've upgraded it from it's 3 year old version! :eek:

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

So, are we now seeing the end of karma? Although the symbol is still there under peoples user names and it still works, when viewing your own profile no mention of karma points.
Has the new Like taken over?
Or is it because the link for 'my profile' has been removed and we now must use 'your profile' under quick links, or have I not yet found where the link has been moved to?
What a wonderful day for the site, no more bitching karma threads started by the ignorant that feel hard done by.

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

I'm just glad the likes aren't linked to FB....you know the kind of thing 'like me on FB'.

I was a bit perturbed when I tried to have a few minutes on here last night and the site was noted as 'undergoing essential maintenance'.
I was worried about what I might find when I logged on this morning(especially as I am part of the misunderstood 95%:)).......but I am pleasantly pleased Roy.
I think major changes done in stages, are perhaps a bit less of a challenge to us.
Thank you Roy, for your sterling work.
I really do appreciate it......and I'm sure that i am not the only one.

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

Sad to say, I've found the my profile link, it was staring me in the face, under your notifications.

So karma points still in use I'm afraid.
:(

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

O.K. but think of the pleasure these threads give people like me, who choose to laugh at the sad gets.:D by the way cheers Roy, nice work.;)

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

Nice one Roy. Appreciate all the time and effort that you give. Pleased to see the arcade is back. :)

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

like it, a lot

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

It's looking good, thanks.:alright:

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

Seems a bit faster to me

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

Perhaps your just reading faster?
:)

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

Don't like the red,how do I switch back to the blue which I used to have and found it much easier on the eyes.

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

Try the small box bottom of Home Page Les.

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

That box switches to a simple format as well as blue,I simply want blue.

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

If you use Firefox and an add on called 'no squint' you can set webpages to a colour scheme of your choice..

To test if it works here, I am now viewing this with white lettering on a mid grey background.

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

Well I like it thank you Roy!

It does seem quicker to me also ;)

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

OMG I have just looked atthe arcade and there are loads of new games!!

Marg.P dont go in there unless you have loads of time you will be addicted again!!! :D

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

too late, Heth...too late.
I'm hooked already.......it doesn't take long to renew an addiction. Just glad it isn't fags!

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

I have just had a little go at angry birds but have had to stop myself I have some housework that needs doing!! ;)

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

I'm hooked on the bejewelled games. I have them on my DS too.

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

Yeah I have them on DS they are good but I am not going to start a game I am going to be a good girl and get the hoover out!

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

How very apt. :D

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

Of course you don't like birds, especially Swans:rolleyes::p

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

I notice nobody has complained about the demise of the chatroom.
Well, it was fun a few years ago, times change we now have Facebook & twitter to take it's place.
On the plus side, now it's gone it may be easier to access AccyWeb, in libraries and hospitals, for some reason any site with a chatroom was never allowed low level access.
Perhaps jay will let us know next time he's on holiday?

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

Especially the she-ite hawks at Manky U. :rolleyes:

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

I didn't even notice this until today!I like the changes, though.Never used the arcade *new procrastination method pending*.... :)

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

thank you roy for the arcade back ... now to renew the battle against cashy on the mahjong .... practice makes perfect .... what time is it ..... mmmm think i best go to bed ... last time i looked it was 1am .... mmmmmmm:p:p:p

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

Now that the gallery is back in action will you be starting the 'photo competition again Mick? After all, you have all those dodgy flash drives you need to get rid of as prizes.

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

Not yet there is still a restriction that Roy needs to sort out
although members should be able to upload to the gallery providing all photos are under 1.6 meg file size

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

First time I have sen the Arcade. Some good games on there.

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

Fixed that yesterday mick, should be good to go, giveit a whirl!

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

Ok Thanks Roy

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

Just a little pedantic niggle. Whoever has authority of the site administration could they please note that it is 'referred', not 'reffered'.

Is on the information about registration before you log in .. :)

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

I also noticed this Kate, but didn't want to ruffle any fur or feathers by mentioning it(coward - I am).

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

I'm sure a high level investigation shall now take place to find the culprit of such an error, how dare they make such a mistake!
I do hope you get a personal apology from the culprit, it must have ruined your enjoyment of the site over the years to have such a niggling mistake placed before your perfect self.
Or
You could have just P.M.'d a mod that would have been helpful.
:)

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

Wot ?! Oh luk, Less as lost is sense of humor; sometink he tels us all not too do ... :p

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

Not in the slightest, less almost 'liked' your post but thought what the heck she'll not appreciate it.:D

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

Just as well; probably would have unhinged me. ;)

Do like the 'Like Button' though. Whoops, just noticed there is a separate thread on this ... better get over there, before I get my hand slapped again.:D

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

Yes, I have had to be careful with the power of likey, MagsR is still recovering from the shock.
:)

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

Indeed, Less, I feel great empathy for her, however, have taken a little time out to search for an alternative medicinal antidote :

ACONITUM NAPELLUS
Especially useful in psychic shock, that resulting from great fright or fear.

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

You don't need any additives your tongue spits enough poison without them.:D

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

This thread is not for chat its for reporting site problems with the upgrade please remember this when posting.

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

Just wondering what happened to the Blue Skin, I go away for a short break and whoshhhh I'm on accy red, I've never used it since the day I joined the site:cool:

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

Can't you change to Blue using the box at the very bottom left hand side-Mine says Accyweb red and it all comes up red?

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

The blue is no longer there Gordon, that's the first thing I looked at when I signed in on Saturday there's only Red and think its minimal which I presume is for mobile users well it don't look to good on my laptop anyway:D

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

Just seen that, jaysay. It's called progress.

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

I think Roy waited until you were away to get rid of the blue John

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

Our dear John is spelling better in the red ? What did those nurses do to you John ??? ;):D

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

Showed him were the spell check button is. :D

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

Perhaps he's colour blind and couldn't see what he'd written in blue.

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

Thats for me to know and you to envy David:p:p:D

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

alas Dave they couldn't find it, lost and gone forever:D

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

I'm sulking and upset Roy took my blue away, everybody knows that red ain't my colour (accept Stanley that is) Red reminds me of the two things I hate in life a political party and a scum footy team in Manchester:D

Re: Maintenance and Chaos...
 

Its also the communist colour so that should suit.:D
