the APOLYTON upgrade: known issues

[MarkG]

- for some reason some posts have post time of several hours ahead of their normal. this means that for the next 7-8 hours the threads which contain them will show up at the top and the forum bulbs will be incorrect

- on high traffic times you will get a "too many connections". just wait a couple of seconds and refresh. we're working on fine tuning the server...

and some info:

- the stuff that existed in the "profile" and "preferences" pages are (along with much more) in the "control panel"

Any idea why it says we registered in Jan 1970?

Also times aren't GMT: they're currently GMT+1 (aka British Summer Time).

Smilies tags in OT inoperable.

Smilies count as images.

1) during the import, users registered before 15/2/1999 got the classic "0" unix date, 1/1/1970

2) you can set your own timezone in the control panel

Lots of visual problems. We'll get to those later...

Unable to update my Options (not profile). I get the error...

"ADMINISTRATOR: You MUST revert your modifyoptions template."

New Posts show up in the middle of old threads...

Interesting

Markos, et al.:

I was able to make changes to my profile and options w/o and trouble (so far) and loading times seem to be a bit erratic. Sometimes slow, sometimes fast — but I attribute that to the ongoing experimentation and surfing in general.

This will take a bit of time to digest and get used to, but it should be a fascinating trip. Is this type of bulletin board supplanting the widely-used UBB style?

Why are threads still stuck at the OT?

No real problems, looks good Markos. How do I get a picture on the side ? Like the stealth or Tank?

Also there does seem to be a problem when I post, it goes up to top of the page instead of bottom. It looks like it has somthing to do with the Apolyton timer......


Also, can we still use the Old Smilies? i have seen these ones in the Europa Universalis forum. They are pretty lame.....
