So basically if we could find some free web space and not have very many people access it (therefore avoid bandwidth issues) we could probably set up a free SMF forum and put the backup on it to get the information.

Yeah really. While this board does seem a lot better it would have been better to be able to move on our own time, not forced like this.

alright i'll keep checking out all the stuff i got here.

Chances are if anything is there, like I said, it's probably encrypted. Is there a way to get SMF for free or would we have to pay for it if we needed to build a temp site?

thats all i recognized other then smilies was forum system info

Actual posts could be highly encrypted though. 6GB seems way too large to be behind the scenes info and smilies. Might be best to check with smf support about whether or not the backup file will give us access to what we need.

So it's essentially useless, then?

In theory if we open up a temporary SMF forum and import the backup there (since it's designed for SMF it should work there) we should be able to access what we need. I just hope it actually contains actual posts and not just forum system info.

We are going to need to increase the PM inbox limit, as one PM equals 2% of the inbox (meaning it will be full at 50 sent or received messages)

I'm on it, give me a few minutes.

Edit: All groups should now have an unlimited number of storable PM's

Delete this, we don't need this shit here yet. We're trying to set up the basics.

I'll hide it for now (assuming that will hide the entire thread, we'll see I guess haha, so that we can just re-open it after.

1. Ive been wanting to post this for awhile now, but I unerstand.

2. My PS saves all sigs as gifs for some reason.

 

 

And how did you fix the link?

You had messed up a bracket so it became a broken link instead of an images. I edited it to a normal img tag.

1. Good

2. That makes absolutely no sense. I've had photoshop as far back as CS2 and ALL of them allow you to save it as any image type you want. Even cheap, shitty Elements should allow things other than gif which is by far one of the worst for quality.

OBJECTION YOUR HONOR

Yes?

Fix the link for you. Although two things:

1) I think we should worry about getting things setup before worrying about CnC on sigs.

2) Why the fuck would you EVER save a non-animated sig as a gif?

Should work for everyone now

I can't see the test skin in the "Change Theme" menu. Is this just me?

I just realized I forgot to set it so non-admins have access. Give me a minute and I'll change it over.

tell me where victor is or gtfo

right there

Can someone show me how to put a sig in my sig?

Click on the drop down next to your name in the top right corner and select "My Settings". Look to the left in the page that appears and a tab should say "Signature." From there it's no different than any other forum.

I'm going to post the cup champion pages now.

 

Btw I think chat will work on this site but I'm not trying that til everything else is good.

That's likely a good idea. If I recall the chat we were using can definitely work on this site. Other (better) options likely do as well but we already paid for ours so we should use it when everything is set to work.

Unfortunately, I just finished posting the drafts from S1-S23. Tad late now.

Sorry, only just got on haha. I wouldn't worry about it too much, we're bound to need more images for something else anyway.

If there are any other settings you, or anyone else, needs changed let me know here or via PM and I'll get them. I'm at work transcoding anyway so I have time.

It only lets me post a certain amount of images, so the team logos with the draft isn't possible.

 

Also, is it just me or do images looking higher quality here?

I just increased the limit from 10 to 100. That should be more than enough I would imagine.

I have uploaded a free skin we downloaded to sorta have an idea of what is doable with this editor and get a feel for it. If you guys want to access this skin to check it out select "change theme" at the bottom of the page and choose the "WT-Blue: Test Skin" option. This isn't going to be our final skin but should give an idea of the clean style look we're going for.

As long as it's a light skin. I hate the dark skin at SHL, and dark skins in general

 

Chances are that we'll eventually have multiple options, both light and dark, although light is definitely the priority. Especially so that the site images look best on all and as well as font colors.

Also possible at a later date obviously. I like the concept though.

P.S Multi-Quote is kinda cool

Yeah, bonus stuff is secondary. The skin is technically secondary, might just take a bit to do so I'm looking into it now. Extra bonuses (banner, mods, etc) are all a later time kinda thing.

tbh, I think we've used blue long enough. Let's move back to red!

Chances are there won't be a ton of color in the skin anyway.

Keep in mind too, skin chooser is built in and coding is easy so we should have plenty of options.

Mine has stopped at a few different spots, under 1, just over 1, etc.

Ah, weird. It seems like the file should be corrupt if it's not fully downloading.

Yeah, I will stop next time it crashes. Realistically we only need one person with it downloaded for the time being.

I'm already at 700mb in under 5 minutes so maybe I'll get lucky and my speed will win out haha. No idea how to get it off the work computer and home but that's a problem for later.

Edit: Mine just jumped from 1.2 to 2.8 and finished. I almost wonder if it's wrapped in something that's making it appear as over 6GB when, in fact, it's only 2.8. If it were the download crashing why would it crash at the same spot for everyone? Plus, why would it have a complete file? If it were crashing we'd have a partial file or something corrupt at least.

Do you guys have the logos? This site seems to be more customizable, ie each team can have a skin design.

Kora did up pretty much all our logos right? I'm sure he has them somewhere.

And yeah, the built in skin tools are definitely much better than SMF. They code like Invisionfree which is great because I know it and the skin chooser is built in so it should be easy for us to make multiple skins. Possibly even per team skins as you mentioned.

I gave you admin access.

 

I say move it all over to here, this is the new site. That back-up keeps stopping, most I have gotten in is 2.5 Gb

I saw that, you work quick haha.

As far as the backup goes, do we know what it gets us yet? Also, might be crashing because they didn't give much bandwidth for it and a bunch of our members are probably trying to download at the same time.

I'll try downloading from work where I was getting really good speeds. If it works I'll figure out some way to get it home haha
