TW Public Relations

[Demonic]

As far as I know, that's being worked on now. Everyone has been hit with forum errors all over the place. Should be a big refresher coming soon.

Someone played with settings recently? I will check the forum log and see about rolling back. We did review the complete upgrade and it would involve approx $400 for a new licence, which prior to steam we were not sure on the value. Now that decision is upto Turb (and public i guess as its donation funds).

More realistic option is to move away from VBulletin to a free forum, and there are some reasonable ones out there, but when I did some research into it in Sept the struggle was the implementation into existing website.

tw dev already moving into free options
new forums being set up at no cost to public

still debating migration of old data or clean slate

Anyone know if these bugs started on the 13th or 16th?? I can see several edits and changes but will be easier to narrow down if i know roughly when the errors occurred.

They started in 2007. Got worse with the upgrade to new version, and 2 weeks ago the blank pages got added.

Thanks, I will hunt back 2 weeks then - I can see a few alterations have happened such as the ability to delete your own posts is set to No, when it used to be allowed.

PM's are enabled, and I can see some have been sent today according to the statistics which suggests this is only impacting a selective few rather than all. Need to make sure anyone impacted is sitting in the registered users group, and check those users individually. If you are impacted, would also be good to know what browser you are using to make sure it's not a compatibility setting on forum rather then permission.

Blank page issue I can see the reason for, it doesn't impact me personally so is this a large issue or again select few?

[roxxkatt]

if by "select few" you actually mean "everyone that isnt an admin"

No i discounted admins for obvious reasons.

azov, regardless of public opinion regarding you or your background, in the interest of staff transparency, i strongly advise you talk to krynetix concerning a resource he recently set up at https://trello.com/sscutrenchwars, which is an issue tracker that shows the public what you are currently working on. an example of an active board can be seen at https://trello.com/b/91ApENY6/ns2-cd...opment-tracker

I spoke to Kry a little bit ago, and the idea is to have the Trello site up and running exactly how you envision it working. What we're waiting on right now is some dialogue with Priit on the matter and we want to afford him time to reply; this won't be forever, but it's a process we need to see through and once that's done, we'll be able to have that up and running.

good, this is something that cant afford to be let fall through the cracks

[Azov]

I think we're in all in agreement on that. We want the site up and running. It's something that's going to be an important tool moving forward.

This bastion of experience and knowledge that comes from my real-world experience makes me ideally suited to recognize and address issues as it pertains to our own community politics

If you understood the community politics, you'd have not taken the job due to not being a respected member of aforementioned community. Trust me when I say that if there was a vote, you wouldn't have won, so let's stop pretending as if you were voted in. You were handed the job by some one above you that has no idea what they're doing, because your lack of charisma automatically kills any hope of success you ever had. Having little to no charisma as a PR rep is a very bad thing.

This game is dying every day and you appoint Azov as PR? Good lord. What next? Cheese as Turb's replacement for sysop? As much as I would like to see this game come back to life one day, I am sad to say it will die in a year or so because of the people in charge. Keep up the good work!
