Server Maintenance

[Stephan Whelan]

I've just completed some minor maintenance on the forum software running here. All tests so far check out but do report in this thread, via PM to me or via email to me any issues you encounter.

A fat bloke keeps writing obscenities in my rep box, is this normal?

Yup - it's a new feature

Deeperblue leads the way once again

I even paid the voluntary fee, and I'm the tightest bloke I know haha


P.s I'm glad I checked that my spell checker made it lightest bloke I know.

So what do we think about this new feature?

 

[devondave]

I keep thinking I've got PM when it's only a like thingy.
Apart from that not too fussed either way
It might add fuel to the fire during the odd spats we get though.

 

[apneaboy]

If you keep pressing it over and over again what happens?

I think the hart is a little tacky to say the least!! but my biggest bug bare is the fact it obscures the "quick links" feature, if you press quick links the "likes" box goes straight over the top!

Somebody said it was a bit like Facebook, and I HATE facebook!!!!!

Interesting - doesn't on my machines. Can you post a screenshot?

'Rep' or 'Like' or 'Like' & 'Rep'....I had a go...but, I'll go for just 'Rep'.
Rep is user friendly and evenly balanced across the members.
Rep covers everything the 'Like' does, 'Like' seems to sit nicely on Facebook but not so on DB, where it does seem to be contributing to clique's, therefore dividing the forum along 'heart' lines.

Well said Brett, as I haven’t got that much Rep I’ll be sticking to it as well.
Likes and hearts can stay on Facebook out the way of normal people.

Yep screen shot made on my ipad but taken from my pc...

 

[SurfnSpear]

Not seeing that issue...not got ipad though to test.

 

[foxfish]

Sorry for confusion the screen shot is from my PC...Fine on the iPad

I think when you get to 32000 rep points it should go back to zero.

I'll be doing some more upgrades later today on the server so people may see some downtime during the course today (Saturday 11th June).

 

[Stephan Whelan]

Upgrades complete - let me know if there are any issues you encounter and i'll squash the bugs!

Logging into DB from the iPhone it seems the option to see it as a pc type layout rather than the mobile version has been lost? If I click 'full version' it does not redirect? Any ideas?
