Things to fix and add

Postby krisCrash » Thu Aug 21, 2008 8:50 pm

:!: Dictionary for relevant terms

Fixed:
    :!: Delete Technical Difficulties forum, it will not die. The forum is only capable of telling you that
    "Warning

    The submitted form was invalid. Try submitting again.
    "
    when something goes wrong. It could be anything.

:!:Fix signup rules
"You agree not to post any abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-orientated or any other material that may violate any laws be it of your country, the country where “zwitter” is hosted or International Law."

is entirely false. Obscene, vulgar, slanderous and sexually-oriented material is of course perfectly okay. Don't violate any laws that get me or Unixdaemons in trouble.

:!:Adjust flood limits as we go along. Currently if you spend less than a certain amount of time filling in any form you will be prohibited from submitting it. I have done this to limit spam but I am willing to adjust the timers as we go along.

:!:Fix fugly smiley theme. Fix overall site theme if we can find a neater one. Suggestions ok, but no rainbows plz.

The error "Warning: The submitted form was invalid. Try submitting again." Is caused by the flood control; simply, taking less than 30 seconds to fill in any form will generate an error. I will set it to 5 seconds for now, as it also checks for administration, such as adding or removing forums.

If you are still getting "invalid form" errors let me know. Please dump any bugs you may encounter here or otherwise outside of discussion threads, I might delete/move them at some point tbh., it's somewhat derailing :)

:!: Posts can now be edited for an unlimited amount of time. I am not a big fan of this, previously edits were allowed within the first 15 minutes, but let's see how it works out.

I have reduced the timers on everything, and allowed guests to post in the Help forum. In the future, guests may not be able to see all forums if enough users wish for them to be private.

Enabled name changing.

Fixed the smiley theme up a bit. Some smileys were antialiased and taller, I have reverted them to a style similar to phpBB2's, but with a few edits when I did not feel they looked much like the feeling they were supposed to convey. :) ;) :( :? :o are new editions. I redid :geek: to fit with the rest, and got rid of ubergeek, it really looked quite weird. I might do more smileys, specifically useful symbols for categorizing talk here? Suggest! Anything max 15-16 pixels tall is welcome I guess.

Edit: :hermaphrodite: :both: :neuter: :female: tadaa xP

:hermaphrodite: :both: :neuter: :female: :male:

I like those glyphs. I rarely see the mercury symbol used for hermaphrodites these days, but do sometimes. Usually people put the second symbol. My personal favorite is the one with a single composite arm, like this, as it equally represents male and female elements in a unified blended way.

Also the omni-gender symbol .

Now I am going to play around with gender glyphs. :mrgreen:

We missed 3.0.3 and went directly to 3.0.4, now 3.0.5. which as I understand has mostly small fixes.

I wonder what happened to the Image instead of Image

things to obsess over :D

edit: it should work now, actually.

Upgraded to 3.0.7!
Spambots have been attempting to spam by reporting threads, which is weird. It should only affect moderators.

Some users appear to have difficulty activating their accounts, if you have this problem please contact me and I will activate your account manually and attempt track down the exact problem since I do not know how it behaves yet.
