Alright, as you all know, I upgraded the forum. There are some new features which you may notice as you wander around the new forum. I also upgraded the chat, and I hope that we won't have as many problems with it. So yeah, look around and if you see anything that isn't working then tell me about it.

One of the negative things is that you are only allowed one picture to represent you but I'm sure I can find a mod that can change that if it becomes a big deal. Overall I know this might take some getting use to, but we can do it guys. We will have to find a new skin which I will be doing right after I post this.

This "upgrade" is shit. The chat is not working, by the way.

And ugh gawdz, WHERE DID YOU GO, MATT? ):

[Jeeves]

Huh...what's new?

[The_Nightstalker]

I am so confused right now.

[Raine]

I NEED A DRINK.

[JRRD]

You guys are something... I don't know what. But you're all something.

Very funny.

However, that is Tecmo Bowl and I cannot stay mad at that.

[The_Nightstalker]

Hey, at least you get to be your boy Drew Brees in that gif.

Oh yeah, I get this weird glitch if I try to link an avatar from Photobucket, and it results in no avatar picture appearing at all. Had to download the file and upload it from my hard drive to get it to work finally.

[JRRD]

Weird glitch. Well besides that glitch and having avatars in the chat. Everything is going good.

[Raine]

Use imgur.com or something. I use it and it's perfectly fine. Photobucket acts weird.

[The_Nightstalker]

Yeah, I figured it was just some hotlinking bullshit.

[Raine]

Oh awesome, go to the main index page and hover over names that have the last post in threads.

[The_Nightstalker]

You still have so many things to teach us 3.2.3.

Edit: Like how I can't upload gif avatars anymore.

[Jeeves]

What, really? Can you host them elsewhere?

I wonder if it's because the chat wouldn't know what to do with an animated icon?

[LalaRu]

Weeeee!! New forum looks purdy!! You've done well, JRRD. As per usual!

And as per usual, RAWR!!!!!!!!! It's so spiffy around here I think I may post some more today.

The avatars seems to be treated as profile pictures now, which didn't let you use animated gifs in the previous version.

[JRRD]

I uploaded a gif and it animates. I went to edit my profile picture and uploaded the animated gif and it worked everywhere. Gifs have always been enabled for pictures and avatars.

What size is the gif you want to use? The limit is 100KB which is pretty big for an avatar. Even the Tecmo Bowl gif isn't as big as that. I checked the member setting and everything is good. Try to upload it or something.

[The_Nightstalker]

If you're talking about the gif on this page, that one is over 500KB. I've been able to upload avatars of that size before when I used a off site host but that won't work for me now. I guess a limit wasn't set for those kinds of uploads before the upgrade.

Edit: Also, is there any way to enable us to change our member titles again? I'm probably retarded and just can't find it.

[Raine]

I enabled member titles again so it should appear in your settings. Anyone with over 10 posts can change their title.

Also, I upped the photo file size to 200 kb for members. See if it will allow something above 100 kb and below 200 kb. If it doesn't, I'll look around more but it's the only area I found where I can change the file size. :U
