Don't seem to notice "Marketplace".
Re: Change has come! - John M McDermott - 01-19-2009
Now I see it!
Re: Change has come! - Praefectusclassis - 01-19-2009
Marketplace is completely private now. Guests cannot see it.

Thanks for getting the forums back up so quickly, Jasper! I've noticed one problem: the text in the "Linothorax update" thread in the Greek forum seems to have been scrambled. There are a lot of accented characters, and one of my posts contains text from Paralus' reply to it.
Re: Change has come! - Praefectusclassis - 01-19-2009
The accented characters were probably not correctly converted. There's always a chance for mishaps there.
Not sure what might have happened with the postings.
If anyone feels like cleaning stuff up, I'd be happy to give you the contents from the old database, provided you can give me the posting's id -> click the little icon next to 'Posted: [date]' at the top right corner of the posting that needs fixing.

Salve Jasper!
Good work! Will have to get used to it a bit, and I like the clear avatars (pictures seem of better resolution). Poll on the laudes would be good idea.
Much appreciate the hard work ...
ps darn, can't find the spellcheck here ...

I'm already getting used to the new design I think, but it will fill quite strange for a long time yet I think... :lol:

Salvete Omnes,
Wooooow Jasper I like what you've done with the place
hock: Hopefully the sign of better things to come for RAT...
Best Regards,

Looks great!
Thanks for putting in the time and effort!

Excellent work Jasper.
Laudes to poll: yes.
Colour of links: preferred coloured
Some characters seem to have gone gah gah and I notice you can't edit pre-change posts. Is that possible to change?
Re: Change has come! - Praefectusclassis - 01-20-2009
- This new version has a default limit on editing post, which I've just set to 0 (ie unlimited)
- Garbled postings: the forum just went from a MySQL 4 to MySQL 5 database & a conversion to UTF-8. All good for the future, but that does mean that sometimes special characters were not properly converted. Before anyone asks: there's nothing that can be done about that automatically. I do have the old database and I can retrieve old postings from it as plain text. It is impossible to selectively redo the conversion. And there's no way in h*ll I'm flushing all the work of the last week.
- Color of links: that could be changed, but there are a lot of links in that grey-ish color and change one, change them all. We do want the template to remain good-looking, right?
Re: Change has come! - Jona Lendering - 01-20-2009
Well, because Jasper has already been called our "emperor", and because he has shown his expertise, I decided to make him look more presidential.
Re: Change has come! - Arturus Uriconium - 01-20-2009
No problem Jasper, you did a brilliant job and these were just observation on my part. I have designed a few websites myself and know the work it entails! What's strange is that it's even garbled ordinary characters and not special ones. Odd, but, not a problem. Well done again!
Re: Change has come! - Jeroen Pelgrom - 01-20-2009
looking good!
Re: Change has come! - Ron Andrea - 01-22-2009
So far, so good.
