Hello all,

This is a notice that the site will be down for a few minutes (~5 if things go smoothly, possibly more if they don't) to deploy some enhancements and bug fixes.

Changes:
  • PhpBB has been upgraded to 3.3.10.
  • Large social games associated with the old site are now once again available.
  • A platform infrastructure change has been made to increase build stability as well as support development environments on architectures other than x86-64.
  • Post numbers should now show in quoted posts and link to those posts when clicked on, and have replaced the "up arrow link". For users familiar with how quotes displayed pre-upgrade, we are returning to that format. Note that this will require a bbcode reparse, which we will start in parallel with site operation after deployment. Users should see existing posts with quotes start to switch styles over the next few hours, and new quotes will immediately display in the new format.
  • V/LA banner on avatar should now show.
  • Certain exceptions when loading some threads should no longer occur.
  • Last post in topic no longer shows "Re:" (this was a config change and is visible immediately)
  • Site chat should no longer cut off text when the input spans to the next line
  • Quick reply box should no longer appear for people who can post in locked threads - they must manually click reply to do this.

This has been completed.

Reparsing of threads is in progress over the next few hours. During this time you will slowly start to see quotes change to the new (old?) format.

Search capabilities will take a few minutes to come back up. We apologize for the inconvenience.
