PMs missing after yesterday's maintenance

[arnim zola]

On another note, I'm missing like 400 something posts, my count just took a nosedive.

[MINI_MYTE]

Are we all clear to start posting regularly now? I don't wish to post anything significant if the site is still going through the upgrade (and run the risk of losing posts).

I'm still not seeing huge chunks of threads. There are big gaps in between posts too. Think this might be an individual member account issue?

I don't think so. The same is happening for me.

so now i can't post to the flea market section.. what gives?

[sergiofml]

Thank you very much for the effort. I can´t imagine the total madness it must have been! 

Right now i don´t have any problems. Fancy new look!

I'm using my iPhone in portrait mode and I'm finding the formatting of the site only fills 50% of the width of my screen.

When I scroll down, the advertisement are the full width, but not the rest of the site.

It works fine in horizontal mode.

I get this about 75% of the time too. I think the new site is 'mobile friendly' as opposed to having a 'mobile' version like with the old site.

Is there anything that can be done?

I can't even request desktop version, so I am constantly resizing everything.

Still working out kinks.  Post counts should never go down, but this new software is tricky.  If you lost post count and want it back, send me a message.

Mobile settings are something I haven't quite gotten to yet.  I am working on that and new skins for those wanting options.

Some posts are still missing, because I just went to update my Marvek Minimates wish list from a few weeks/months back and it's gone.

I've tried several different ways to make columns for my trade post, but can't seem to get it to work the way it used to. I've looked up several different ways to enter the BBCode, but none of them are giving me columns. Does anyone know the correct way to do it now? Thanks!

New code is needed for the columns. 

Basic steps:

1. When you reply (or edit your post) click on the Source button in upper left
2. Paste the table code below into the text field (you may want to copy/paste your current list to a notepad or something if you are editing) and hit Submit Reply button in lower right
3. Then you can go back and edit your text as normal and adjust font, colors, etc to fill out the rest of your list

 

Table code:

<p>
    <strong><span style="color:#ffa500;">Updated 7/11/2016</span></strong>
</p>

<table border="1" width="100%">
    <tbody>
        <tr align="center" valign="top">
            <td width="50%">
                Wants
            </td>
            <td width="50%">
                Haves
            </td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

Awesome, thanks Lurch!

[Shanester]

Thanks for doing that Lurch.

On another note, I am looking into threads that are not working.  If there is a thread you can see but will not cooperate, let me know.  At the same time, feel free to recreate the thread.  

Being perfectly honest about this whole situation, I think we (as a community) got off lightly.  The upgrade to the new software really wreaked havoc on the databases and their stability, but we came out of it functional and that is more that some can say.  I continue to work on things and plan to add more themes (new name for skins).  I know some folks like the darker feel.  I don't know about an app yet, but all themes will be tablet and smart phone compatible.

If you have a specific request, feel free to let us know and we will see about implementing it.  Luke's Toy Store banner is not there, but it will be back as soon as we can get it straight.  I think he has a few things on his plate at the moment.

Tigers would be nice.

 

Seriously, thanks for the updates, folks.

Oh good someone remember to turn the power back on.

The new organization of the site is very confusing. Is it temporary? 

An I thought it was just me. No Access, etc I was losds of ARRRRGGGGHHHH

[youbastards]

Shane, is the site ready for SDCC this week?  

[Nervous Rex]

I always thought it would be nice to have some sort of gallery option. Somewhere we could group all our general photos, pictures of new waves or new reveals or for me personally, my customs. I think a lot of times there are some brilliant photos that get lost in the threads, and it would be nice to have an option to just browse photos. Ivan does such an outstanding job with the database, which is the greatest thing ever for reference, this would just be a collection of cool pics, new customs, new dioramas, new action shots, etc.....

just my

[Dave]

My page is missing a lot of my customs, and won't allow me to post more photos. When I try to post it jumps to another post.

[Shanester]

The software does have a gallery module.  I'll look into adding it.

Dave, no idea whats going on there, but I'll look into it.

Shanester - I'm having trouble locating this years Birthday elephant thread. Is it possible that it got lost with the PM's? 
It was sub titled 'The Dark Elephant Saga'. Is there any way to find out what happened to it?
