I couldn't. If I left, the forums go offline..thus it's impossible to leave.

[Tweak]

A few changes made today:

* New search engine installed for the forum - expect MUCH faster search results
* Avatar directory moved - see bug report on intended improvements
* Online user threshold dropped to 5 minutes
* Various database changes to ensure greater performance

[White Wolf Guardian]

So by user threshold you mean if we aren't active for 5 minutes, our status is set to offline?

[Tweak]

That's right, yes.

[Shenzii]

Works for me ^^

Changed the report to moderator links to buttons.

Report to Moderator in a post is the quickest way to report something you wish to flag up, including if you want a thread deleted or double post removed, it'll directly contact the relevant moderators to ensure a quick response.

Report to Moderator with PMs will send to Zeph or myself (or both) and can be used to report any offensive messages or problems you receive so we can investigate.

More noticeable with the box around it, but purple would make the font invincible

I wanted to make it yellow.

[Tweak]

So, I just rebuilt all the forum files to try and remove the hundreds of errors that were accumulating.

I have tested it and everything seems to be working but please report any bugs to the bugs report board so I can take care of them.

Thanks.

For those who haven't noticed some changes recently:

* Profiles can now be reported to the staff
* Some more things that I can't remember because I do too much

Additionally our report system has been altered to send all reports to a board that only staff can see. This allows a higher number of staff members to deal with a specific warning much quicker.

This system will also mark a reported post so that multiple reports will happen less frequently, this text will also change colour depending on whether we have solved the report or not.

A few updates are being made to the Portal system, please bear with us during these changes.

[Tweak]

Some changes are still to be made but the portal is back online.

It was discovered that the old portal system was being run insecurely by the creators, we take security very seriously here and as a result have switched over to a new system. As it so happens, this system sports a few new features and an improved shoutbox.

The data stored on the old portal will be migrated where possible.
