this is finished enough that we can use it. i'd rather be improving it in place, than forever getting it ready and you guys not using it!
- Forum upgraded to new, current generation of software. This included a do-over of the layout
- Forum moved to dubcnn.com
- Forum reorganised into 3x3x3 as follows:
- Newly created West Coast Connection Section is now for discussion of current / new west coast releases. I moved some posts over to kick things off.
- Rule of thumb, keep it under 10 years.
- West Coast Classics is for dicussion of old releases, ruthless, death row, 2 Pac theories etc
- Main section includes a link back to our sponsor, dubcnn.com
- A new section created to house The Vault, Outbound and The Lab (was The Studio), called this Elements for want of a better name..
- Sports has been merged with Entertainment & Gaming.
- Nate Dogg memorium forum has been merged wtih West Coast Classics
i know there are colours on the login page to fix, and smileys appear a bit broken.. and the video addon is gone (for now)
but i'll get it all working :)
i also dont like the menu colours, and some stuff on the side of profiles isnt too nice either.
broken stuff first, nice stuff, during those fixes or after!"
if anything is broken please reply.!
-
other things that need fixing..
- links in posts aren't obviously links
- box & colours around the "topic summary" when replying
-
- quick reply box is a bit fugly.. needs a recolour
but..
smileys fixed!
-
appreciate the new touch, this forum needed some updating
not sure what to think of the seperation between new and old west coast
but seriously, no https?!? dafuq
-
Nice to see you guys upgraded to the latest SMF. Keep up the good work!
-
I got 1 suggestion so far. Fix the avatar situation cause its difficult putting an avatar & the imagehost link to make it happen & none of them work at all.
-
I got avatars turned off, but it looked fine for me when I signed out
we gota link the new forum on dubcnn as well, run still runnin that joint?
-
yeah rud'll do it i guess, i have full access to dubcnn servers so i might be able to.. for now people end up here eventually
-
few more glitches
- neither the css or html tests linked at the bottom pass the tests - lol
- if poss split the theme name this was based on link, and the dubcc part at the bottom of the forum (that can be used to reload the page)
-
looks like not all links to posts within the forum got updated...
example: http://www.dubcnn.com/connect/index.php?topic=326772.0
(any link to a post on dubcc in a post should have been updated.. things like the vault index were updated)

noticed this too .. also, youtubes ain't postin up with just the link again
-
already covered :)
and the video addon is gone (for now)
#
yeah i just need to find a video mod.. should be easier now we're running current software rather than old stuff
heh.. word quote when quoting is a janky colour.. :)
-
- when you send a pm the "message sent" text box could do with better colouring.

I know SMF has at least 2 reliable ones off the top of my head.
-
i'm on it :)
Hello Don Seer, you have 87 messages, 0 are new.
this seems a bit silly when theres a messages area in the top buttons bar now.. so will probably remove/alter it
and shunt the 'list most recent' to above the forum
-
just installed "say thanks" mod.. so you can give props on a per post basis
and "simple audio video embedder" mod
-
lmao @ say thanks
-
lol, the dubcnn site forum topic aint directly here.
-
yeah its on the list :)
you end up here.. i'm not sure if dubcnn uses a CMS or not these days, i'll have a quick poke on the ftp :)
i'm not sure if i have a login, or one with permission for the dubcnn CMS.. i'll look into it :)
(i think i can hack the dub database to give myself access :D:D but i'm at work, so can't do it now..)
edit: i found the reference in the dubcnn database and hacked it direct.. works now.. who needs a user login eh? :)
btw also need to update the vault index on dubcnn which isn't part of the CMS

ran my special update script on the server.. again, looked like it timed out locally when i did it before upping the database. all URLs updated :)
-
Good work.
Whats up 'Seer
Nuts...been on this board for over 15 years ;D ;D ;D
-
The forum needs work. If it was up to me, there would only be one West Coast section instead of two.
-
Great update, the forum is more fast and stable.
But what about The Vault (http://www.dubcnn.com/connect/index.php?topic=65364.0) index? It's been down for a long time and now the thread is blocked. What's the reason?
Thanks. Keep up the good work. ;)

i halfway agree, considering we don't have enough activity for this .. but let's see how it pans out first
-
we decided this is a post a couple years ago (i kept links / made notes)
problem is. we had a problem where
1) people moaned about people being stuck in the past flooding the forum and 'new' posts/artists not getting their shine
2) people stuck in the past, being stuck in the past.
1. those people can't moan anymore
2. those people have a valid place to wallow in the past :)
i think these benefits outweigh the inactivity side of it. if "west coast classics" is busier it does mean "new" posts dont sink in the "west coast connection" section

yeah the thread was so big it wouldnt load with the old server/scripts.
i havent touched it, i believe Jome maintains the index, possibly also keeping it in sync with an html page on the dubcnn site.

We've been getting a lot of what appears to be russian spam bots. Although they rarely make it through to the forum thanks to Sccit (and me a bit).
I read up and I've enabled a question they have to answer (what is snoops first album). This already appears to be already be working. It won't stop manual spammers but is supposed to stop the automated sort..
Its possible that whoever is controlling the ones that had been getting trying to register notices and adds the obvious (to us) answer.. so if that happens I can change or add more questions but right now, it seems to be working great
-
my BAD.. NIK accidentally banned a whole bunch of people because i didn't warn anyone that the cloudflare type protection on dubcnn gives people mostly the same ip's.
i'm looking into how to restore original user IPs
-
test
all fixed :)
-
dubcnn removed the "forum" site...
-
dubcnn removed the "forum" site...
?
its still there on a front page? or you mean something else?
but just fixed an issue with adverts.. should have affected anyone, but they were putting errors in the error log and could have filled it.. it may have sped things up, but probably not
-
wtf is that icon next to summary when u click someone's profile lmao
-
This might be a long shot... but is it possible to get a deleted account back?
