New Website Problems

Post by Blitzkrieg »

How do you change your callsign in this new website?
It is a lot more complicated and there is no box to change your callsign like the original layout.

That doesn't seem to be working at the moment, even though I have "Allow username changes" enabled in the AdminCP.

Edit: Fixed it. You can go to User Control Panel, click on Profile at the top, and then click on Edit account settings on the left.

one thing. I don't mind signing every time but when i try to use the "log me in automatically" it logs me out every time i come back to the site. is that a problem with my browser and the cookies or what? like i dont care to login in every time. but it would make it easier.

There is still some problems with logins from things other than the forums (in-game and 3rd party sites via weblogin). I'm looking into what is causing it.

maybe remove the exact time from the "joined date"?
seems like a little too much information to have in every post.
Take a look at my Defender game mode concept.

Thinking is not an automatic process. A man can choose to think or to let his mind stagnate, or he can choose actively to turn against his intelligence, to evade his knowledge, to subvert his reason. If he refuses to think, he courts disaster: he cannot with impunity reject his means of perceiving reality.

Patches welcome. (Sorry, couldn't resist) I'll keep it in mind, but that will be very low priority.

here's where I'm having problems with PM's.

It's the spaces around usernames in the "to" field. Tried replying to a PM and got "users do not exist"

Is it only when you reply? And if so, is the message you are replying to from before the upgrade?

Yeah, only in a reply.
It's a new message I'm replying to.
