The Suggestions section of the forum has been entirely reorganized to work better with the addition of the new Helpdesk.

All of the old boards in there have been removed and replaced with direct links to the appropriate Departments of the Helpdesk. I did my best to ensure that any discussions still open in any of the old boards were transferred over to the Helpdesk as tickets.

Hopefully this will make things a bit easier to use and understand for everyone.

+ On upgrade the search daemon was changed to a faster service.
+ Forum language files have been updated to UTF-8 and the database has been converted. This allows better special character compatibility whilst reducing the database size.

Some images on the site aren't loading now. I'll go make a ticket.


EDIT: Nevermind, I did some looking around and it doesn't seem to be that big of a problem.


Also what's the point of having foreign special characters if the forum language is English?

Most likely due to the change to UTF-8, some of the images get redone. Once I've seen your ticket I'll sort it out.

! Trialling a new ad placement after the last post on a thread.

This trial will last for 7 days to see if the ad placement provides a viable income source. The next few months are the last that I can guarantee being able to pay the cost out of pocket and without additional support financially the forums may be forced to downsize or even close.

Doesn't seem like a bad placement so far, both places where they are now.

If the bills aren't covered in some way, then this may be the only option. I don't want to do it but for the first time since I started fully supporting the forums I am very concerned. Money is going to become very tight and I will not have the cash to pay for it any longer.

Also what's the point of having foreign special characters if the forum language is English?

It also supports such things as copyright symbols etc directly, rather than forcing a conversion which uses more space. Everything you see when reading is stored like that in the database rather than taking up to 5 times the space for a special character.
