Regarding the recent forum issues - just to point out that an explanation summary is in the global announcement.

[sothis]

kaz, is this still happening? i just tried deleting a few of my inbox messages, tried logging in and out, and they are still gone

and yeah, the rollback sucks... but it shouldnt happen again. he's now making DAILY backups so this wont occur in the future. it was a fluke of two random server deaths in a week, two totally seperate servers... bad luck indeed :/

ps kaz, since it got rolled back, i need that entry again ^_^; could you send it to my email addy? (webmaster at the site address.com) ... though i do need at least one more pic (7 total :D) and which ones you think work as main ^_^

one thing i notice is it makes you do stuff for quick reply, and some of the smilies are weird. ill fix these when im home tonight

There seem to exist one Out-of-Date Custom Template which needs to be looked at aswell.

oh, the pm thing might be related to those rollbacks...i haven't been paying much attention :O

and because of the rollbacks, i have no copy of the description, but i can grab another screenshot and rewrite it for you sometime soon.

*nods*

this is a perfect reason why you should always email stuff to me :D this way, as well, it sits in my inbox indefinitely till i can get to it ;) i tend to lose track of things here ^_^

i didnt check the screens yet, but make sure at least one is scenery too :) (i always tell people to submit lots of screens instead of the bare minimum, cause usually then they touched on all the types i was looking for, hehe)

kets, i dont think the out of date template matters, i looked into that also

mhm was just a note ;)

Something i just remembered, i got reports that some people couldn't reupload their avatar cause the sizes changes (atm i dont know if that is result of the recent forum issues, or if it rather is a problem that these people still had an avatar uploaded before the board rules got changed regarding max sizes of avatar / sig).
