We are testing the Avatar or images that go under your name when you post in the forum. Note that the sizes are 100 x 100 pixels with a file size of 10KB. We will let you know when it's ready & how it works. :P
The next version of avatar upload will force the size to 66x64, otherwise it will delete the avatar.

Yes, I would appreciate it if you uploaded everything you had.

>I have noticed how .....skimpy the D/L area is......It isn't a lack of content made, But >people might waiting to see if Sean makes the arcived fourms files availble.
The files are there, but I have no way of making them available since the links between the forum and the files aren't working. If you are stuck without the mods you have uploaded, I can zip up your folder and email them to you. It doesnt look too likely that the old forums download section is going to be working again.
>Super Chipmunk? you got anything to add?
Id appreciate it if everyone uploaded anything and everything they want to make available.

I may have a very stupid question, but I went to the ftp site to download the files from the 'old' site. I am not sure if what I am doing is right. Only the 'lib' directory has any files, and I downloaded 10 of the 11 files. One (libs.md5) told me I was not authorized.
If the files I have are the correct ones, what do I do next? I was going to just start opening them, but figured one of you kind gentlemen would 'help the newbie'. I just bought SB1 and plan having some tanking flashbacks this weekend. I always like to look at scenarios people have created.

The kicker is when I go into the 'pub' directory, there is nothing shown. I get a blank screen (except for ftp.steelbeasts at the top, and a short cut to go to the next higher directory. The only directory of the 4-5 shown that has anything when I go into it is lib. I don't see any place to enter the username. Do I get an 'idiot' award? What am I missing?

Maybe your browser doesn't fully support FTP; e.g. my Opera doesn't, and in the beginning I was at a loss as well. Instead, I used a dedicated ftp client, and then it worked just fine. Which browser do you use?
I had the same thing happen with IE 6: just a blank pub directory. Then I tried an FTP client using the username & pw Sean provided and then saw the directory inside pub (which is where the files are).

Since I know you have nothing better to do than work on this, is it possible for people to submit graphics to be added to the "default" library?
I ask because there are some avatar graphics that people might want to have in common, like the Royal Armor Corps badge or that triangular red/yellow/blue thingy that seems to be an American tanker thing, or the black horse, national flags, etc.
They can email them to me :-) sean@steelbeasts.com

As I am still struggling with my browser for the *.scr files ? or try to educate people ? :casstet:
Hell_Hound
05-29-2003, 05:29 PM
Educating takes too long.
Let's just round up the seven people in the world who use .scr and execute them for trying to make us download another unpacking utility. Civilization was clicking along just fine with .zip format.
Jayman is referring to the fact that some browsers will maul the .sce files as they download them and make them unusable.
JayMan
05-29-2003, 05:43 PM
In fact the scr file is displayed like a regular page with some kinda chineese stuff instead of downloading it ! :casstet:
Ok, .sce files are now banned. People will now have to zip scenarios.

BTW I am sure that lots of people had that problem and did not try anymore to download.
Hell_Hound
05-29-2003, 06:00 PM
I just clued in that you're talking about .sce files, as in SB scenarios.
I thought .scr was one of those alternate compression algorithms trying to compete with .zip.

05-29-2003, 06:02 PM
Sorry, the "r" is next to the "e" on the small laptop keyboard ! :D

BTW nice new avatar ! :P
Looks like there is a lot of work to be done. Even though all the downloads work in IE6, about 60% of them don't work in Netscape/mozilla due to
1. .sce file extensions
2. A older version of the downloads uploaded files differently, these can't be downloaded in mozilla; all you get is a file not found error.
Who wants to volunteer to fix them all? :-)
Hell_Hound
05-29-2003, 07:09 PM
I can pull down all the .sce files, .zip them and put them back up, if that's all that's required.
This lunch is busy (going to city hall to pick up marriage license :D ) but I could start tonight or tomorrow.
I wouldn't know how to correct the Mozilla problem.
Ill work on it when i get home from work. Im not sure if it will be that easy.
All thats left now is the T's.
Then I have to go back and look for any remaining stray .sce files.

It doesnt work right <shrug>
I deleted a bunch of unused blocks and modules. Should give a speed boost on page loading times :-)
Ok, all .sce files have been rooted out and replaced by zips. Netscape people should have no problems with the downloads any more.
All the old workarounds should no longer be neccessary.
If you have your own web space, you can also add a download as a link to your file on that web space.
If I dont hear of any more problems, i'll send the developer a congrats on finally straightening out this downloads module.

Sean I think I need ur help.
When I upload a new avatar, and click "yes" to replace it I always end-up on a blank page "www.streelbeasts.com/index.php", and I have to do it several times before being successfull. I use IE 6 & W2K with all the updates possible.
So, what might be wrong ?
If you are using the avatar upload, sometimes the javascript redirect fails to send people back to the avatar upload page. I don't know why it wouldn't work on the first try though. Anyone else seeing this behavior?

Hey Sean...
I know I can easily submit a News article by clicking on Resources and Submit News. But is there an easy way to find and browse previous articles by subject heading?
Perhaps adding a drop down under the News link that is something like this?
>News
>>Current
>>Submit New
>>Rule the World
>>TGIF
>>Battle Labs
>>Fulda Gap
>>Virtual Units
>>Multi-Player
>>Maps
>>etc. etc.
Right now if I hunt about I can sometimes figure out how to search the archives, but it would be nice to have a user friendly interface to browse them like we can in the forums now.
Thanks,
~mm

Hi,
I used to have a sideblock that did something like this, and stats showed that absolutely no one used it. So it was deleted to improve page loading time. If there is something you are looking for, you can always use the search function :-) If there was a compelling need to have easy access to old news postings, I'd put it back. However, in light of the database troubles we have been having lately, I would hesitate to add new blocks until we are sure everything is working smoothly.
mapman
01-22-2004, 05:16 AM
Hmmm...perhaps you can put a link to the News Search Function under the News link so at least it is intuative.
Why is it intuitive to replicate the search link? If you do that there, then I should also add seperate search functions (which all do the same thing) to downloads and weblinks, etc. too. Search searches the whole site, and you can even search by the categories you mentioned. Theres also a search box at the top left corner of the screen on the pncamo theme. I think adding more buttons which do the exact same thing is just going to add more clutter to an already full menu.
mapman
01-22-2004, 08:52 AM
Well....we have
>Recources
>>Search
>>Articles
>>Submit News
If I go to search, News Articles is not presented as an option.
I remember when I could go to the News Section, click on a topic icon (Multi-player, Maps, Virtual Units, Fulda Gap etc.) and search or browse those.
Perhaps just changing the nomanclature (Spelling?) would fix that.
You ask for feedback on the site from time to time...I just offered it, because I always have a difficult time figuring out where to go to find previous new articles that I have seen in the past.
It is not intuative for me and I am fairly tech/web savy.
But then you said nobody used it before either....maybe they didn't/don't know it is there.
I deffer to your webmaster wisdom oh wise rodent....
How about i change the text on the search page itself?

Each time I change it comes back to the old one.
You have to change it in the forum profile. If you dont see the From Postnuke button at the bottom of the screen, then its not the forum profile.

Is it just me, or have the forums reverted to an old format (silver blue, without the easy/quick reply feature at the bottom and it shows up in a smaller window in the middle with the main site menu to the side)?
If you have changed it Sean, I like the way it was two days ago better.
If you have not, please let me know how to change it back.
Thanks,

Or is it me messing up with the settings ?
We are also missing the download stuff on the right hand-side with the color coding !
The list of security fixes was long enough to compel me to upgrade the forum. Now I have to sort out all the mods I did last time I upgraded.
Quick reply is gone for now, I can bring it back if I unattach the forum from the pmbox message system. The blocks were throwing a bunch of errors so I turned them off for now.

Try changing your time zone in the "my account" area.
I replaced the text links with a fold out menu block. Its been tested on Mozilla Firebird .9, Opera 7.51 and IE 6.0. Should work all the way back to Netscape 4. Thanks to those that tested and gave their opinions on it before going live.

Does PNphpBB2 (type that three times fast) support an "ignore" feature of any kind, so that if, hypothetically speaking, some slobbering dumbbell were to appear on the forum, I could click a couple things and never see his/her posts again?
Just thinking ahead to the SB2 release, when that scenario might become a bit less hypothetical. :shock:

No, the forums don't support that. Even if it was possible, Ssnake has already said he would not condone enabling that "feature" on SB.com.
you can always filter out yourself (great use for avatars!)
One idea is having a selectable "threaded" mode in which you would have to actually click on each individual post to read it. That way if there was a trolls name next to a post you could just skip it and move on to the next.

But the problem with that is that it takes more time for the reader to do that.

I'll be updating the forum software in the next few days. This could mean downtime or lost posts (a days worth).
Looks like the upgrade went ok, except for the fact that the color matching code is broken.

I'm having problems with lag here. SB.com is the only web sight where I have this problem. Most web pages will load in a few seconds whether in cache or not. My log on and other times are as follows:
Time to load SB.com: 40 seconds
Log in time: 20-30 seconds
Forum access: 20 seconds
Topic access: 20 seconds
Access to comment: 20 seconds:
Submit Reply time: 60 seconds or more
Log out time: 30 seconds to maybe never.
These are Netscape times. Double the above times for Internet Explorer.
The Camo theme is back to showing double names for users. An example follows:
Bluewings[/b], ')">Bluewings
With the Camo theme I loose the quick reply option at the bottom of a page.
Other themes don’t do this. But using other themes don’t allow me to see Edit, Quote, or Delete Buttons with each post.
SB.com times have always been slow, but it's worse now after the latest changes. I've tried every think I know to over come these problems including tweaking Netscape and MSIE. Plus other settings. Is anyone else experiencing these problems?

Exactly the same problem for me. :?
Yuck. I'll see what I can do, but some of it is related to the release of new screenshots, and the extra traffic associated with that.
I removed a bunch of stuff from the front page temporarily, hopefully that will help the front page load much faster.
Re: double names - I dont see them in mozilla firefox, I'll have to look up whatever I did before to fix it again.
Re: camogreen theme - That is based on the old forum software, I'll have to redo it.
Re: the other themes - PNTheme should work - can you try it? I may have to delete these other ones as they are no longer supported by the pnphpbb2 folks. I'd also like to know what version of netscape you are using?

Using PNTheme I dont see the double name problem as I do in Camo theme. But with PNT I don't see a the Quote, Edit option for each member post as I do in Camo. And the quick reply option works with PNT. Currently using Netscape 7.1 mozilla. Stuff is loading much faster tho.

TK.. I use the Cameo Green settings, and yes, I see the double names, but have gotten used to it.. And the "quote" in that theme is located (for me) in the upper right corner of whomever I want to quote, and next to "quote" is the "edit" in my own post.. upper right corner.
However, I'm now in the PNT theme, no double names, and the "quote" is now located in the very bottom right of each persons thread.. to quote.
And to Edit, that too, in PNT is next to the "quote" "edit" located now in the lower right hand corner of my post..
Going back to Cameo Green now.. lol

Sean, I noticed (and for a long time) that next to my "Profile", it shows that I have 226 new messages..
I'm just wondering, if I show that many with 0 new messages right now, with only 4 in my box, and around 6 in my outbox, if this high number for me, and add all the members to that, if this might have the site more loaded than it really is.. As if the site is seeing actually 226 messages for me, and alot for all the other members as well..?

Yep, thats another bug thats been around for a long time. It always says I have several hundred messages.

Is there no way to offer several choices of themes i.e. colors ?

Hit the my account button in the menu on the left. You can change to any of those themes but autoprint. The colors of the forums will change accordingly. Each of them is requiring some tweaking, thats what I am working on now.

Sean, looking better without the yellow, IMHO, but still, the post are hard to seperate without lines inbetween/seperating each post IMO, and when quoting someone, now the print is lighter only, no white background, which IMO, made the quotes stand out and much more readable.. IMO
I know, you're still working on it..
Just updating ya from outside, looking in..

Yeah, the new post icon is also broken now. If you dislike the colors, goto my account and change the theme to something else. :-(
