New MPLD Forum Live!

[Diacide]

Hi Guys

The MPLD forum has been upgraded and is now ready for use. Please report any bugs as soon as possible so that they can be solved in a timely manner.

New features:

Ability to have friend and foe lists
Ability to attach files to posts (Under review)

All new Forum styles:

prosilver
Glass Yellow
Bl@ck (Love this one, also now the default Style for new users)
Glass Darkblue
Glass Green
Glass Softblue
Glass Cyan
Glass Red

These can be changed under the User control panel

Xfire Mod, can be enabled under the User control panel

There are a lot of new features including the way the forum looks, operates and feels. But I'll leave that up to you to discover. We are also looking into other mods to enhance the forum.


Temporary:

User activation - When a new user account is created, they will not receive a mail to activate the account. They will have to wait for an admin to activate the account. This is just a precaution to test the security of the forum and should be changed within in a week.


Issues:

Announcements not working yet
Some Smilies don't work, like this one



Enjoy

[Diacide]

First bug found:

1. When you use any other style except prosilver, you cannot edit your own posts. (looking into it)

looks very good, also maybe evens feels a bit better or that's just me..

[zibbie]

Looking good . will take some getting use to but i can live with that !!!

the one cool thing ive noticed so far is that if u log out with unread post and u log in the post still show as unread . not like with the previous where if u logged out or got disconnected u can remember what post u have read and what not !!!

[Cleric]

Looking good. me like

The Glass Red suits the MPLD logo, but it's just too much red. The Glass Softblue is more subtle
It's not what we're used to though, will take some getting used to. The avatars on the right is different. Not like your everyday forum style

Loving all of it!!

I've chosen the Bl@ck 'theme' as it reminds me most of the 'old' forum!

Dont like that the subject is a default for every post. I cant remember if it was or wasnt in the previous one. Its just that when i read a post the subject is very "out there" and its like its a 'new' subject every time.
Suppose I could just get use to it though.

AWESOME work otherwise! =) x

Ability to have friend and foe lists

Thx Dia & Team

Looks great guys, lets hope the security upgrade is also this impressive.

It looks so clean . . .

I have noticed there is no quote button on bl@ck and Glass Dark blue... and the post reply is not a button but a link...

Or it might be my browser... IE8 (damn work)

[::Hooloovoo::]

just missing the quote button on posts

[Diacide]

Bug 2:

Users will get the followijng error when logging in:

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

Illegal mix of collations (latin1_swedish_ci,IMPLICIT) and (utf8_general_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation '=' [1267]

An SQL error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact the Board Administrator if this problem persists.

As far as I have seen this is caused by illegal caracters in the username

Example:

G|R - Not OK
GiR - OK

Still trying to find a workaround for this
