I couldn't care less about Facebook and alike.
However, in order for such media companies to continue business in Europe other countries might follow suit.
It's basically an attempt to kill off everything that doesn't conform with the EUSSR's view of things.

Registered processed a major forum upgrade today and it severely fucked things up on the back end. i'm working on getting it all repaired so just bear with me a bit.

 

[Dropbear]

I can access the site with my mobile devices but not the desktop browser.

On my laptop now. No issues.

I like the look and it is working on both mobile and notebook.

yeah its more on the backend. there are about 9,000,000 server errors and i crashed the site entirely at one point. so that was fun.

on desktop now. what's coming up when the site loads?

 

[Journeyman]

I haven't had any issues on desktop at all and the site looks the same to me.

the differences are mostly cosmetic, functional, and on the back end. there are some new features and a couple of things work a little differently which i'll try to lay out at some point.

 

[Grand Potentate]

speaking of looks i was thinking its time we get a new look to the forum. this is classic but its also very drab.

Does that mean we need to donate more?

^What if it is actually him, and he just wants to learn how to look less rumpled and dishevelled?

I still can’t access the site from my work desktop, but that’s clearly an issue at my end. I could clear the cache but I don’t want to lose a bunch of stuff.

There maybe a bug in the software (or in my browser) that doesn't show the right emoji when I click 'like'. It shows the 'Ha Ha' emoji. Others 'likes' also show wrong.

A trivial matter I know...

Me too.

 

[Grand Potentate]

tested here as well. let me look into it.

 

[Grand Potentate]

ok, think i've got it fixed. added in a few more reaction smilies. that area needs some more work so if you guys think of any smilies or emoji's that would be worth adding in let me know.

 

[formby001]

Seems to be working at my end.

Cheers.

Nice. Nothing changed so that has to be on your sysadmin. Buy him a drink for allowing you to slack off on the job.

 

[Grand Potentate]

ran a routine forum upgrade and it completely crashed the forum. unfortunately, to figure it out i've had to disable all the addons on the forum, so things will be looking a bit spartan until i can get it sorted. i'm on the case.

 

[doghouse]

You had one job.

 

[Grand Potentate]

paid up our hosting for another year

paypal really fucked us on the exchange rate so it cost another $20 more than it should have. bastards.

please donate to refill the coffers if you have a few bucks to spare.
