Forum move

[Saga Musix]

Hello all,
as you might have noticed , the forum has moved. Not only the URL changed, no, we are also using a new forum software - SMF replaced the old phpBB board. I hope that everything is working correctly, if you see anything strange (broken characters, etc.), please notify me ASAP. The default SMF theme will hopefully also be replaced by a more fitting skin - if anyone here is skilled with creating SMF skins, this would actually help a lot.
A new feature, inspired by our dear friend Sam Zen (RIP) is that you can now specify the Operating System you are using in your Profile (see under "Forum Profile"), which can be helpful with some bug reports, questions, etc.
Have fun!

well.... evatars are kinda squashed, but i have to check all the new features (whoa) and get used to them. Magnificent job so far, putting this all together, and even managing to transfer all the existing database!

I personally thought 80x80 pixels are enough for avatars. If people really want it, it could be increased to 80x100 or 100x100.

Hmm some normal dimensions should be alright i guess, a lot of pictures are rectangle shaped, like mine example.

What was wrong with the old system? Non standard dimensions was accepted without a problem (if linked from third party source, and not stored on the server). I dont think people abused it on any extreme ways.

Oh right, now I get it. Avatars from external servers are resized using JavaScript, which you apparently have disabled. You can re-upload your avatar to the forum, it will be resized properly (without JavaScript) then.

Im only doing damage xD, its getting smaller with reupload.

some bug report:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in xxx on line 107

i have this message on random times, when i hit "reply".

I've increased the max. avatar width to 100x120 now...

some bug report:

Yeah, I'm currently fiddling around with the code a bit, so some random hickups are possible.

thanks, 100x120 is enough for the camwhores like me.

You're not the only one...

Ha.. We got rankings. Very cool I better keep under a 1000 posts to preserve my status  .

Way to go Jojo!

Now it's possible again to view the songs posted in the free downloads section on the member profiles again; this functionality requires JavaScript, though (I don't want to hack SMF for something like this). Also, there's a "recent topics" display on the main website now (down in the sidebar). I hope this will be useful.

Yay! Nice! This looks really well, simple and fast, but I miss the old platform, a bit strange...

[LPChip]

You're doing a great job Jojo!

The profile information on what songs you have posted is very nice! Even more nice is it, that the old link to my profile (for the old forum) redirects perfectly, so I don't even have to alter any links.

Of course when we get a real download system, we can replace this, or keep it as a reference, so we can transfer our songs.
