All these PM's could've been posts... what a waste of spam.

On the avatar front, my avvie is shown when I go into the edit avatar option in control panel, but not in the forum. Is there a size limit in the new forum? Do our CDZ avatars exceed it? Are the avvies not being displayed as a result?

I can adjust the number of PM's allowed. FOr testing sake I upped it to 500 now but I can pretty much enter anything we like. So no need to clean up your PM boxes, I'll adjust the number because the database must be able to handle that easily.

INteresting stuff: King of PM is BCLG with 1500+ messages! Congrats BCLG!

CDZ PM Top 5

1) 1526 msg - BCLG
2) 1270 msg - Beam
3) 1133 msg - ProPain
4) 1124 msg - akots
5) 920 msg - anarres (his ghost still hunts our pm/postcounts

)

Woooooo

Just solved the smilie issue. NOt all are working again but most are and I know what to do so after we do the final move it will be easy to get em all up and running again.

The avatars need some looking into but I've already figured out how to import all our current avvies, so worse case we all have to reset our avatar. Just a minor issue imo. I suppose allowed avatar size (both pixels and size) can be adjusted in settings. Will look into that.

Just ran the cleaner script which resorted in undesired effects. The cleaner script doesnt apply to forum description, where we need it, and it screwed over the [img] tags in posts (my fault btw, could have prevented this)

This means that we need to reset descriptions in forum description by hand. Pity, but no biggie.

Can you please indicate where to find this option. I ve spent several minutes over the last few days trying to find the "advanced" moderator options, but still can only find the regular options (ie. open, close, sticky, unsticky, delete threads)

Shabbaman · 26-09-2008, 10:32

If you give me admin rights after the transition, I'll do forum order and description tags manually.

Two questions :

- I may want to change my username on the new site someday. Is it possible (apart from creating a new account), and can I do it myself ?

- Any estimation when the new site is fully open ? Or did I miss something ? (not following closely)

Shabbaman · 29-09-2008, 09:09

I doubt you can do it yourself, but changing usernames should be a possibility. I've seen countless usernamechanges on other vB-forums. In your case, we'd have to poll it
