Changes

Älphämönkëy · March 2005

So I made a fair number of changes. Mainly I had to merge two databases into one. Its an easy concept, but the way the split occured, no planning went into what would happen if we merged back together, and so we had a bunch of overlapping topics\posts. I fixed it all by hand coded queries (explaining the slowness). Now here is what is still broken \ I couldn't get working last night. There were a bunch of posts from H+R and I couldn't put them into the search engine. I figure they will probably prune soon, so it wont matter much anyway. I do plan on rebuilding those tables, but it wont be for a while. During the database merge I had to first clean both databases. 202643 posts and 11 topics were all broken as well as some private messages, users, and votes. If things are broekn, let me know here.

Its been a long night, I'm going to bed.

On topic and Off topic living together?! Mass hysteria!

ceres · March 2005

Curiouser and curiouser... It actually took me a moment to realize that 'Memorable Threads' is now 'Archives', so I feel a little silly.

Dick · March 2005

I came back JUST TO SEE.

Wow.

Dog · March 2005

Sigs? They are gone.

Älphämönkëy · March 2005

LOL
I didn't even notice that. I wonder what I did.

Barcardi · March 2005

cccccc changes

the lack of sigs probably streamlines the forums a bit

andddd, that was an odd double post

somethin' probably reset them. I honestly don't know much about the code that goes into making a forum run, but from what I've seen it's a relatively simple task to forcefully alter their activation.

could be wrong, though. either way this is badass.

redstormpopcorn · March 2005

Oh man, H&R is no more.

LONG LIVE SE++

mcc · March 2005

The lack of sigs actually kind of looks refreshing. Clean. But others may be more disappointed

So is reopening of account registration waiting on the PHP3.0 upgrade?

Also, it seems that the keyword search function only works for posts made since the reboot last night. Is this intentional?

Seems now there is only

Though, um, it's visible even when you're actually in SE++, oddly enough

varland · March 2005

This is actually nice without the sigs.

<_<
>_>

Yeah I said it.

I agree totally. Though I doubt it would go down well if made permanent somehow.

Perhaps when three dot oh comes out, Alpha will make this an option in the profile.

Ludious · March 2005

Sure. The forum looks clean without sigs, but clean isn't always a GOOD thing.

Without sigs, there's just something missing.

I don't like it. At all.

So, now that the chat forums have been re-integrated, what purpose does META serve?

Discussion of Douglas Hofstadter books?

sinn · March 2005

Looks like the 'View Posts Since Last Visit' link is broken too. I only get a white screen.

Chatforum and ot-forums still have their own policies, mods, and issues. The Monkey Den is going to serve for general bug reports and on-topic issues. META will serve for chat issues.

See also, archive and chatlog.

Mordrack · March 2005

So the no sig thing is an intentional change?

Accualt · March 2005

I don't mind the lack of sigs, to be honest. Kind of nice.

I really don't mind one way or the other. It'd just be nice to have a straight answer.

The only problem I see is the chatmods going into OT territory and starting up another wave of asshattery. Granted, the current chatmods are for the most part more responsible than that, but it could still happen.

why the hell do you think the divide stopped that? It was just as easy to pull that sort of thing a week ago, and guess what? It didn't happen.

You said it my friend. Oh man it's been too long.

Älphämönkëy · March 2005

I would like to publicly appologize for my previous LOL, WoW has corrupted me into using that word again.

I'll fix sigs when I get a chance.
Im glad you guys like the changes as well as the speed.

Dioretsa · March 2005

I keep clicking Monkey Den instead of G&T.

Also, why does the Chatlog have this : http://www.penny-arcade.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=171862

That's a G&T topic.

Pantsmonkey made that thread in G&T, and Pants was a G&Ter until he got banned for whatever.

That ain't your thread.
