Unfortunately I was unable to take a look at it yesterday, and our database guy has taken this week off for vacation. T-Man and I will be looking at it later today and see if we can resolve anything. We have an idea as to what may be causing the problem, but we need to run some tests to verify before trying any solutions. I'll keep you all informed of any updates. In the meantime, please stay patient with us. I understand that it may get frustrating, but we're

Apologies for the problems and late response, but we've been quite a bit busy with Elemental and a few other projects. We will be taking a closer look at this issue on Monday. I'll keep you all informed of any changes. Bara

It is intentional, and there are plans to change this behavior. The forums were initially designed so that they are treated separately from each other. That is, each forum is standalone. Some things are shared, such as accounts and categories, but for the most part it is like they don't know anything about each other. That was a decision made by our previous forums developer. I personally prefer to have everything connected. At some point in the future I

We had some major server issues throughout Saturday. Our networking guy, Kris, tried many things to fix them and after a few IIS resets and server restarts, things went back to normal. Apologies for the problems guys. We are discussing how to improve weekend performance so that this doesn't happen again, and we've already implemented a few new things on the database side to further increase performance on the weekends.

Two quibbles: 1) You can't "rely on your individual karma page" because it does not provide tota

[quote who="Gwakamoli" reply="133" id="2645229"]does a page going boom and hour and 45 minutes after you said 10 minutes still not count ^^ also...for more detail, i loaded about 5 pages at once, and only 1 failed, and on hitting refresh loaded fine[/quote] You got a boom error while loading a page? Dave is looking into it now. Bara

Anybody who experienced errors the past 10 minutes can ignore them. I pushed a minor update that caused some problems, but they have been resolved. Bara

[quote who="vStyler" reply="126" id="2643846"]Its getting better Bara [/quote] Good to hear :) But thank our database guy, Dave. He's the one researching why the db is being so flaky. Bara

[quote who="Bebi Bulma" reply="124" id="2643531"]Got a "/ in server application error" at about 9:20am PST.[/quote] We did a forum update a short while ago and ran into some server problems. That was the reason for your troubles. Sorry for the inconvenience. Bara

We were having some server/db issues intermittently last night. As of now they are resolved, but I don't think they had anything to do with the boom errors. I did ask our database guy to continue looking at our error logs and see how often it happens and what he can do. He's been trying a few things the past few days days to reduce the amount of errors (which seem to be related to db load in some way). I'll keep you guys updated of anything further that we try.

[quote who="Jafo" reply="16" id="2641832"] The WC site has some nice areas, touches, wouldn't disagree there, could it use a few changes? I think so. I'd still prefer less 'white'.... Always did. Call me racist....[/quote] Racist. Bara

Maybe it's about time I bring up disabling HTML for all except admin... Unless I can find a TinyMCE plugin that will get rid of extraneous tags. Bara

That was my mistake. It's what I get for typing so fast :p It'll be fixed in the next update. Bara

[quote who="Jafo" reply="93" id="2635544"] wat the hell is wrong with an animated gif. you got real problems to worry about. Specific threads have been reduced to a crawl [loading-wise] when inundated with animations. Most are somewhere between useless and just plain childish.

[quote who="vStyler" reply="82" id="2635197"] did some Stardockian do it for you Nope, just a little trickery, but I'll make you a deal, get Master skin uploads working and I'll change it to a pink polka dot [/quote] Unfortunately WinCustomize is outside of my control ;) You know, I could just disable your avatar entirely :D Bara

[quote who="vStyler" reply="78" id="2635119"] According to our database logs there haven't been any recorded errors Then that may be part of the problem, because obviously its been an error-fest around here for quite some time.

We've tried yet another solution to resolving this problem around noon EST. According to our database logs there haven't been any recorded errors, so if anyone notices them today or in the near future please post here or contact me privately. Be sure to include the time you tried to make your post :) Bara

Thanks everyone for the replies. We're going to try a few more things this week and I'll likely ask again if you see the error. I'll keep you all informed when we try something again. [quote who="c242" reply="71" id="2634778"]The condition of this shitty forum is unacceptable. I have been unable to post a simple answer for 15 times in a row. So, how much patience with forums and software does Stardock think paying subscribers and customers have to accept ???<br

We've tried a few things to make the database happier. Please let me know if you continue to see "forum go boom" errors and, if so, what time you tried to post. Bara

If you play them after hearing the hype they suck. In fable 1 you were supposed to age. You kid could be the next hero. Trees would age, everyone would be in real time. Fable 2 was supposed to re-add all of this and add other imaginary crap. In fable one the aging kind of made sense. Yo

When I saw yesterday that there was a new forum update, I changed to 24-hour clock. Then I changed my mind, and changed it back to 12-hour. I did this by the "Options" tab, under "My Account". (didnt use the "Options" under the search box) After some time (1 or 2 hours), I saw
