The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Holiday Forums are now up. Let me (Hahnsoo1) know if there are any issues. The Holiday Forum merge will last (if Vanilla cooperates) until January 3rd.
Forums Upgraded to 3.6.7 PL1, report bugs here

This is just a heads up that we will be having a planned downtime some time this weekend. I currently expect it to last about an hour. I don't know which day or what time it will be, just yet. I will post an announcement in all forums when I do know, and I will try to give as much advance notice as I can.

The downtime is complete and the software has been upgraded. Use this thread to alert me of any issues you find or any questions you have about the upgrade.

You can also post here if you just want to tell me how awesome I am.
I haven't looked through the whole list to see what was significant. The couple of fixes that affected the templates ( which is what I had to bring the boards down to update ) all seemed like good fixes, though.

There was a bug I introduced with the "log out" which would throw a javascript error, but either nobody other than me noticed it, or nobody reported it.
The forums seem to be randomly loading slowly. It'll be fine for a while, then I'll click a link and it'll take 30 seconds to load. The main page seems unaffected.

Can't say I've noticed this. Been on for a couple hours and things seem A-OK.

I've been getting this on and off for a while now.
I'm not really sure if its the site or my route to it. Every now and then, The site just times out and I can't even ping it. only happens for a minute or so at a time, and maybe once a day, if that,

My avatar is red Xing on me. Can anyone see it?
I haven't done anything to it to make it suck, and I can see everyone else's, and mine is far less complex. Why does it suck?

This, evidently, must be a problem on my end, but it seems to have been triggered by the forum upgrade, so who knows. I'm getting script errors every time I load a page; could it have something to do with any recent Firefox updates?
the search function likes to not work when any of your words is less than four letters long. So if I search for "BUT THE SOUL STILL BURNS," it returns with an error that both "but" and "the" aren't found. Nevermind that it could look for the other words.
Going into advance search works fine, but this is wierd.

nice find.
That is apparently a 2-part-combo bug.
1) When we rean ImpEx against the phpBB2 boards, posts tied to users who had been deleted didn't get assigned to an "anonymous" user but rather have NO user, which we've seen in various places on the new forum but never worried about.
2) I put in code last night so that moderators badges only show up in forums that they moderate. Apparently when it goes to check these "blank" users to see if they are moderators in the current forum, KABOOM.

Something I've noticed after the update: Threads aren't marking themselves read after a timeout. If I don't read a thread, I can be logged out until the next day and it'll still show unread. This used to happen. I kinda miss it.

Awesome!
I was around when it happened and I was able to generate a snapshot of diagnostic information. I sent the info to Ramius with my recommendations so he should be able to squish this bug.
I go to make a post, it says I made it, I check my profile and sure enough it's on my list of "view list of posts by", and the thread info says that I was the last to post.
But when I actually go -into- the thread, there's nothing there. Clearing my cache didn't seem to fix it either.

And these little bumps only make us better, so thank you for all your hard work Ramius.
Also zomg 366 the forum software of pure eeeeeevil! or somthing.
Eh, Tube's coole--
I mean, you're the shit, Ramius.
Keep up the awesome work.
I tested it with Chi squared and everything.

Here is the complete list of fixes
Either way, it is fixed now.

And so is anyone else who is in dire need of some appreciation.

EDIT: ah, deleting cookies fixed it

404 error: File not found
Maybe you should stop trying to leech off wikipedia?
What would you suggest? I have no idea how to just get a picture to show.
But he should probably stop asking the database how awesome he is, because the database doesn't know and I bet that's why it crashed that one time.
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other

Same here. That is the comics missing thread.
Haven't seen it happen with other threads yet though.

First name is blank so I assume those are deleted accounts. That wouldn't have anything to do with it I guess?
Edit two: Went to G&T and looked at page 92 for a thread started by a deleted user.
