Indeed; good suggestion.

Thanks

Indeed; thanks for the heads-up

The first post says it correctly; it's 5 posts

Luckily, we are so quickly approaching the singularity that we have systems that handle this automagically ]If we pass muster do we get an email or are previous restricted areas suddenly thrown open? [/QUOTE] Previously restricted functionality becomes available, no e-mail notification, though.

They have indeed faltered and failed :-) Though some still get through, the results we got from putting these restrictions in place were by far good enough to justify keeping them.

I see it more as a group effort by all good-intentioned members of the forum, so right back atchya

Happy birthday, Pocus!

Welcome to the forums!

However, posting multiple, redundant posts just to boost your postcount is not the way to go

No worries, guys, I just wanted to voice my unhappiness with the term "dumbed down".

Now, let's return to our scheduled programming

Guys, in any case "dumbed down" is such a loaded expression. "March of the Eagles" will surely have a different emphasis, scope and appeal than NC2 would've had, but implying that the game (and its gamers?) are "downdumbed" isn't very respectful of their intelligence and tastes

Just happy to be able to help sort out a problem I had a part in creating

You were altipueri, but now you're Taillebois again Let me know that things are working properly or if there is more that needs to be sorted out.

It will; I just need to figure out how first...

There is a problem with image displays, though, but that problem is not limited to just albums, I'm afraid

Your album can be found at http://ageod-forum.com/album.php?albumid=21, linked from your profile; are you able to access it, or has that been closed off?

Yes, thank you. I know the "New Posts" link very well and exactely this is sometimes my problem :) Sometimes I'm not logged in since severaly days/weeks. Then I log in and search for new posts and get more then 100 posts over several "new post pages". It takes some time to find and read the (for me...

We'll have to look into it; dunno what modifications need to be done in vBulletin version 4 to display that info However, if you simply access "New Posts" ( http://ageod-forum.com/search.php?do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post ), you'll get easy access to all threads that have been updated since your...

It's not very emphasized, but every page has a link to "AGEOD website" near the bottom.. Personally, I would like the big AGEOD logo at the top to link to the website, but we'll have to see what happens when we revisit the forum appearance

We will be revisiting the forum's color scheme. The details of that, how, what, where and whatnot, is something that we'll have to get back to at a later point in time.

FYI: A new addition with this upgrade, is what is called the "Activity stream", which basically is an overview of the latest postings and new threads on the forum. You can find it under "What's New?", or by going directly to http://www.ageod-forum.com/activity.php

Upgrade is now complete. Let us know if you encounter any problems or weirdness after the upgrade!

Good to hear you got your problems solved. (For the record: this isn't related to the upgrade, since the upgrade hasn't been done yet )

FYI: Friday June 15th, we'll be upgrading the forum software. It's a fairly small upgrade and the downtime should be minimal, probably something like 10 minutes or so, all in all. The upgrade will probably take place pre-lunch time, European time; you'll see a closed forum with an explanatory notice...

Hi! Unfortunately, due to the hacking of the forum's user information a while ago, some of you were unable to use the forum's password reset functionality, due to e.g. having an outdated e-mail address associated with your forum account. Personally, I think this sucks. I don't know what I'd do if I ...

This is quite interesting. Huzzah!

Turns out that the letter "h" spends 40 times as muc electricity moving troug the interwebs as oter caracters, so in order to conserve power and save the rainforest, selective rationing of its use has been instituted.
