Forums update

[ToniXX]

As most of you know, we're having an odd problem with the forums. I've hired a phpBB pro to update the software and see what happens. So hang in there and understand the boards might go down for a bit. Thanks

[OGRE MAGE]

Thanks for the info and for staying on top of this!

[shaidar]

No worries, we'll be here. Thanks for everyone's hard work to sort out this issue and to bring us the forums generally.

[Rex]

Thanks for everything!

[ToniXX]

The forums have been updated to the most recent version. Could someone please give me a list of the forums that have moved around and need to be put back in their original spot?
A name of each one and the section it should be moved to would be great. Even a partial list is a start, or multiple people could post and I'll compile each persons entry into one list.
Thanks!

Completed, Archived, and Abandoned games need to go into a grouped forum, and the forum name needs to be something besides "Forum".

Reikland needs to go into the active PbP games forum.

All of the "RPG Discussion" threads need to get back, if possible. The only one there is the town building.

Rex's HarnWorld Campaign (HarnMaster Sandbox) needs to go into the Play by Post Campaigns section. It was towards the bottom but as long as it is in that section I don't care where it's exact location is.

This is where it is now.

I'm not sure that if you're aware, but even though the games are showing on main page, when you click on one it's location is shown as down in one of the games in the completed forums:

And there is a funny blank forum down the Foxmoor forum:

Yeah, I looked at some of my subscribed topics. For example, viewtopic.php?p=638038#p638038

It is still there, clicking on the subscription link, even though the bread crumb trail to it doesn't work.

[Rex]

So far I have been able to get to all the games I am in, you just need to be creative at times.

For some reason, despite Reikland Adventures being shunted into another dimension, I cannot post to it.

[hedgeknight]

Most of the RPG General Discussion threads are gone.
Or at least, they are for me

[rredmond]

We still aren't sure what is going on, to be honest. Somethings askew/broke/hacked

Reikland is here: viewforum.php?f=1361
You can't post to the subforum?

Luckily, I'm pretty sure, they are still in existence here: viewforum.php?f=40
But it's been easier to find it via Notifications

Sorry guys, really appreciate the patience!

[Rex]

Thanks for all the effort everyone is putting into this. It really is much appreciated.

The proper technical term is "borked", which expresses depth without saying things we're not supposed to say in a PG forum.

And yes, I appreciate the time and stress this is causing our admin team. Unraveling these sorts of things is tricky, and fraught with peril. It's like playing "Operation" blindfolded, with a real body.

[shaidar]

Absolutely thanks! I also appreciate the effort being put in to fix things.

Nope.

[ToniXX]

So it looks like the second phpbb pro that I hired has worked his magic and has fixed the issue. Please check out your game and let me know if everything looks correct. Also, are there any other forums that you see that our out of order? Please post here with your info and thanks again.

[rredmond]

Awesome! Looks good to me, thanks!!

[Rex]

It looks good to me, thanks for everything!
