Downtime Possible

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 07:32:15 +0000

Ok, this isn't my fault...

The domain name expires on wednesday and I just made the payment (monday evening) and apparently my paypal account is unverified (which is incorrect) so for some reason my payment is pending.

Last time this happened with gdunlimited.net it took about 2 weeks but I think that was the registrars fault.. I'll be emailing them to make ensure no mistakes are made and fingers crossed my payment clears before the domain expires.

Explanation for the forums being offline

Fri, 06 Jan 2012 03:01:40 +0000

The reason the forums were offline (for about 20 hours, and 10 hours the previous night) was because we were transferring databases. It was necessary to shut down the forum so no one could post anything, otherwise those posts would be deleted because they are not in the original backup that was being uploaded.

It was a very time consuming process, but it appears to be a success. I tried to do it with most members would be asleep, but after 9 hours (at 5am) I gave up and went to sleep. And it took a further 4 hours to complete after I got up.

So sorry about the inconvenience, but I'm sure it will be worth it in the long run If anyone experiences any database errors anywhere on the site, please report them to me via PM or in this topic.

Blogs are now useable

Wed, 04 Jan 2012 03:37:24 +0000

Hi all,

Since the last major upgrade the blogs have been broken. The error was mainly the fault of the software provider who finally had released a stable version and so our blogs system is back and operating.

If you haven't already created a blog, you can do so here: http://www.rmxpunlimited.net/forums/blogs/

The link to the blog is in the top-menu (you'd be suprised how many long-term members have never seen all of the menu items )

Forum Upgrade

Sat, 12 Nov 2011 07:19:13 +0000

Hi all,

To state the obvious, the forums have been upgraded. The interface is rather different to what we're all used to, some of that due to the theme only partially being completed. What you're seeing now is a mix between the default theme and our old one.

Any errors, feedback etc. feel free to post it in here.

Forum Changes

Sat, 08 Oct 2011 10:31:05 +0000

Hi all,

There have a considerable number of changes to the forums. Most notably the prefix system has been abolished and there is now individual game making engine forums (the forums with icons). The sub-forums have not been fully decided yet.. I'm too sure how specific we will get there.

Secondly there is a "Gamers Corner" category for gaming topics. Its noticeable at the moment because its empty. Against my morals, I have also created a forum for minecraft *shivers*

Lastly, if your resolution is greater than 1028-ish (on the x) then you will notice a layout change. I have changed the forums from fluid (ie 100%) width to 960px wide. Looks probably worse to me but, this theme's time is limited anyway.

I am also hoping the forums load faster. I have reduced the number of queries loaded on the board index and also globally on the forums, so I really hope it loads quicker.

Yeah These changes are all pretty spontaneous... the result of procrastination at its worst. Feedback/criticism?

New Theme

Sat, 01 Oct 2011 07:21:56 +0000

If you go to the homepage you will notice a new theme. Please vote on the new theme whether you would like to make the switch.

Its a premade theme that doesn't take too long to set up. That, and the fact that I can upgrade this extremely flawed forum software if we do end up changing themes, is the motivation behind this switch. It's nothing major or anything to do with the new rmxpu I've mentioned in the past.

So please vote.

I was going to go ahead and do this, but once I upgrade the forum then this current forum theme will be unusable so upgrading is the point if no return, thus this poll, just to be on the safe side.
