Welcome to the Alpha

The forum is very close to being complete, but we know it's still a bit unstable. That's what you're here for!

So register, take a look around, poke and prod at everything. You can report bugs here or in the support forum as its own thread. Both are fine.

Also, since we're in the early stages of the forum's life cycle, there isn't a set rulebook yet. That'll be added in later, so for now I suggest that you use your best judgement when creating a thread. I haven't tested out these cool ban powers yet, but I'd be willing to give it a try if bad shit goes down.

Edit: signatures are currently disabled, but will soon be activated and moved to the familiar text-only, dropdown sigs from the old Bnet.

You should make admins have gold text.

We're considering it, for sure. The hard part is picking colors that don't kill your eyes.

Yes. And yes.

Are you paying for this site to be hosted? And does it have ads on it to support the server costs? If so, I will disable my adblock for this whole site.

I'm a web designer by trade, so I already pay for hosting. There aren't any ads up yet, but if this takes off I might need to put one up to help the server load.

Love the layout.

Is it possible to adapt a Flood theme?

Anything's possible. What do you mean by flood theme? Like more...green?

Thanks, much. I'm not completely decided if we'll use them or not yet (or how well they'd look) but I appreciate it.

Is this site still in the Alpha stage?

Also, awesome little update.

I'd say we're somewhere at the end of the Beta stage (it kind of just slipped by us).

I'm occasionally getting a notification spam. Just a bug.

Do me a favor and go up to your name in the user bar, then click on Updated Topics. Mark all of those as read and let me know if you keep getting the spam.

I know for a fact that this effectively solves that problem.

Yeah...it's just a little bug in the programming. If you clear up your updated topics from time to time this should stop happening to you.

Just did it and it just spammed me once I clicked it. That supposed to happen?

Eh, I'm not really sure, to be honest. It may take a while to fix itself, though; I remember there is a 48 hour cache of the topics for the plugin that it will display from.

I'll check out support for the plugin if it continues to be an asshole.

Will you make it so you're only notified if someone hits the "quote" button on your post? Or something?

I suppose it might be possible, but I'd have to gut the current build of whatever the hell the notification system is.

Tracking quotes might be difficult; the only method I could even begin to fathom would be checking for display names above quote boxes in messages.

You could add a multiple digit number into the quote system so that when the comment it posted in notifies the person with the pin they have been quoted.
