Ian Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Hello everybody! Our forums have gotten a little bit of an overhaul. We've fixed up some organizational things and archived old forums. We've also fixed some permissions errors for certain user groups. Enjoy the new organized forums! :) Also, please let me know if you encounter any errors from this update.

Guest Levy Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 OOooo, nice... I like the revamp, but it kinda looks like we are missing forums now. We aren't really it just seems like we are. Brittney told me you also cleared out the members who never had their emails validated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m3l3ana Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Yeah I noticed that too Levy. When I went to the front page of the Forums it looks like there are topics and Forums missing, still looks a little more organised :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOOM Bringer Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Wow, it does look like things are missing! But it also looks a lot more organized, especially with the archiving of the old forums. Good job guys :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithil Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Oh that's nice. :yes: We just need to accustom to the new organisation ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Well I'm pretty much used to it already - it's much neater and it also makes for a significantly faster page load. :D All in all, I like it. :yes: Just one thing - is it just me, or has the total forum post count dropped to just over 130,000? o_O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOOM Bringer Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 It's not just you, it seems that the total post count has dropped to just over 130k. :ohno: Would that be because of archiving, the deletion of old threads or is it just a glitch? Or is it none of the above? *waits for an answer* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Well I'm theorizing that the archived threads don't count towards the overall forum post count - that means we'll have to work pretty hard to get back to 150k. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 We have a thing called a "Trash Can." Whenever we delete a post, it goes to the Trash Can. So technically, the post is still there, it's just in a non-viewable forum, the trash can. We emptied out the Trash Can which is why our total forum posts dropped significantly. More database space for us. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Yes, the trash can of d00m ;p I was the first one to put back something inside! I like the changes over the forum, mostly. *Cries a little inside because the News was pushed towards the bottom* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Well hey, I still read the news first since it's RSSed directly to my e-mail client. :yes: The only glitch I've noticed with the re-organisation is that some of my 'newest post' data was reset, but only for a few topics (it doesn't really bother me anyway).

Guest Sloth Von Karma Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Yes, the forums overhaul has temporarily messed up the Newest Posts because with the old ones gone forever, the forum can't correctly identify which posts are new, and which aren't. This is very minor, because in a couple of days it will all be back to normal. I like the forums reorganization, by the way. Looks neat and more organized (like Neopets News is now in the Neopets forum). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*MidnightMoonFiretail*~ Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Well certainly looks like there are less board topics now. Oh well, at least it's neater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 There aren't actually less subforums, it's just that they've been shifted around and some of them have been archived (all the archived subforums also appear to have been compacted so that they don't take up as much space). :yes: A job well done in my humble opinion.

~*MidnightMoonFiretail*~ Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 It seems like somethings missing...but I don't quite remember what it is. The post count does seem to have decreased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superfly Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 All of the forum statistics were re-synced. So, if any of your posts/topics were deleted then your post count would've been dropped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*MidnightMoonFiretail*~ Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I meant the total number of posts made by users :eh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antiaircraft Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Wow... I just realised that my post count is almost up to 6,500. o_O It must come from procrastinating so much. Question: Do you plan on archiving the Altador Plot subforum? It is getting somewhat spammy with people asking the same questions over and over again.

Question: Do you plan on archiving the Altador Plot subforum? It is getting somewhat spammy with people asking the same questions over and over again. As the Altador Plot is an "open plot" it is still complete-able by Neopians, therefore, due to the amount of Altador Plot questions we receive daily, both here and via email, the sub-forum will not be archived. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*MidnightMoonFiretail*~ Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 As stated by Ian!! You may want to read the whole topic before posting!! I did read the whole topic. I was just stating something. Oh well, doesn't look like my post count dropped from this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m3l3ana Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Umm ok... I have a question hopefully someone can answer it!! I was looking for two areas of the forums today and could not find them!!?? Is it just me or is the Avatars sub forum gone and the Trade forum (you know where you could trade your items etc) gone too? o_O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*MidnightMoonFiretail*~ Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Huh? Your confusing me...I'm not sure I've been to either. Maybe someone who has been here longer than I can answer that.

m3l3ana Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Well if you don't know the answer then why did you bother posting? Someone would be along soon enough to answer it!!

Also, feel free to advertise your stuff there, just be sure to keep things on topic and well shaped up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
