New DBB Test Address

Nitrofox125 · Post by **Nitrofox125** » Wed Feb 11, 2004 1:11 pm

Okay.. I had a domain upgrade, so the test DBB is not dbb.arasian.diginetstudios.com, it's http://www.fragwerkz.com/dbb or http://dbb.fragwerkz.com

is there any firm timeline for a switch over?

"Sickone! We want our new PHPBB! Give the dudes the pass!"

Gooberman · Post by **Gooberman** » Wed Feb 11, 2004 2:49 pm

so, when the transition is made, does everyones "power" level go back to where it was before. Or will people who are "admin" on that board get to remain as so?

Skyalmian · Post by **Skyalmian** » Wed Feb 11, 2004 2:51 pm

It will unfortunately remain the same, only the BB will be PHPBB instead. Sadly.

Yeah, but we are all losing our custom ranks and postcount++

NO - because someone will export that data and load it into the new database - RIGHT?

And before anyone bitches about my use of Kuman's Pyro GL model for the "Who is Online" logo, I suggest you hover your mouse cursor over the image.

And for those of you who this gem does not work for (returns "parked domain"), just wait like 24 hours or something, it has to propegate.

Didn't know there was an old one.

Neither did I. The new one still isnt werking for me

If you're running PeerGuardian with the latest IP List, it will block this site.

C'mon guys, start posting **** on the test site. Now is the time to see if there are any issues that need to be weeded out.

Sarge · Post by **Sarge** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 4:01 pm

Is it just me, or is it very VERY dark?

I can't read the dang thing!

Edit, Never Mind, it's better when using IE over NS

MD-2389 · Post by **MD-2389** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 4:11 pm

Sarge, its the same color scheme as it is here. Must be old age settling in a little too much?

EDIT: Just so you guys know, you're more than welcome to post whatever the hell you want on there. I want you guys to go on a posting spree. Just don't be an idiot and post something that would get anyone in any trouble. Especially Nitro since he was kind enough to host the test site for us. If you break something by accident, e-mail both Tetrad and myself giving a detailed descriptiong of what you did (step by step), what error msg came up, and what browser you were using at the time. Please be sure to confirm the error with someone else before you report it as it just might be something on your end.

If anyone has any problems getting the e-mail verification, e-mail me or Tetrad and we'll activate your account manually via the admin panel. (takes all of 5 seconds to load that page and activate your account)

Sarge · Post by **Sarge** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 4:16 pm

Argh, yea it's old age. I registered at the Fragwerkz site by mistake.

MD-2389 · Post by **MD-2389** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 4:22 pm

Just so you know, everyone that's registered as of this message has been activated.

Tetrad · Post by **Tetrad** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 4:24 pm

Also I want you guys to complain about little things. I went through there but there still may be some consistancy things I missed. I can easily change the template now, but given that I don't think the admin here trusts me with DBB ftp access, I can't do it later. And I'm probably the one most familar with the way the HTML is set up now.

You should get an e-mail within 10 minutes of registering max. You're activated btw.

Bill: You're not banned dude.

Its the same size as the one here dude. Set your font size back to 100% or whatever the hell IE calls it.

FireFox good

MD-2389 · Post by **MD-2389** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 5:20 pm

Just so you guys know, anything you post on the test site will not be brought over when we go phpBB.

Just for the hell of it....special ranks for anyone that asks.

PM me over on the test site. Do not make your requests here.

Yeah I was wondering how you managed that

How do you set the font size back to 100% in IE? it's been set at like 500% now and it's *so* annoying, but I can find no setting.

Either look in your view menu, or hold down the CTRL key and move your mouse wheel.

Mr. Perfect · Post by **Mr. Perfect** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 5:58 pm

Why are the avatars so damn big?

I also agree with Tricord about loosing the sigs. When they where origonaly removed from the DBB I was kinda annoyed, but looking at the test board I realize what a irritating waste of space they where.

Also, the quote text seems a little small. Bumping it up a size would be nice.

Tetrad · Post by **Tetrad** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 6:11 pm

Post issues on that board. So, you know, you can point them out easier.

Edit: also some of the issues are admin decisions. We're just working on getting the board itself looking right.

Mine is set for Small and the font is still really huge and annoying, like I'm being right now!

I haven't touched font settings and it looks ridiculously large on the new BB.. gonna be an eyesore that's for dang sure.

Nitrofox125 · Post by **Nitrofox125** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 10:39 am

Looks fine to me....

Even a size smaller than this BB... Font settings do change themselves, I think it's a bug in IE.
