Forum rebuild [almost] complete!

[KnowTheCosmos]

Script for the usertitle "Order of Kilopi" is currently in progress.

Working in the user/usergroup permissions right now.

I'm still seeing escaped apostrophe characters in the forum descriptions.

e.g.

Exploring the Kuiper Belt

It\'s ice! Dwarf Planets, Trans-neptunian objects, and Proto-Comets - Oh my!

No biggie, but just thought I'd mention it.

Done and done.

You have a PM waiting for you in your inbox.

Done and done.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Got it. Thanks.

Avatar test. This is only a test.

My avatar still is not showing. Do I need to reset anything or is the debugging still a work in progress?

Mine wasn't showing, but by going through profile settings I was able to just upload a new one. Needed a change anyway.

[Hornblower]

My avatar is up and running again. Thanks.

[ToSeek]

The best forums are down the bottom. Can you swap them around please.

You can collapse any collection of forums you're not interested in by clicking on the little up-arrow icon to the far right of the title.

When I try to upload a .gif for an avatar, I receive this message: This JPEG image has the incorrect file extension.

It's not a big thing, but maybe some day, some one can look at it. I have no problem uploading a jpeg at all.

(Thanks to Jeff for saving my avatar from my impatience.)

[Nowhere Man]

Are we going to have to restore our avatars and signatures ourselves, or are they on the list for recovery?

Oh. Cool. Wish I had time for some of the other forums, but....

[HenrikOlsen]

Avatar missing,
Signature missing,

Albums have the images, so that's good. Links to images in albums work as well, which is excellent and would have been a major pain to fix manually.

Hello Thanks for all your Work.

I have a new issue (for me , don't know if this have already said ) The location of the poster has disappeared. This is an intersting information. (When given . ..)

[HenrikOlsen]

Perhaps it's easiest to simply note that all personal info is gone.
I.e. avatars, signatures, hobbies, location etc.

[pzkpfw]

The [tex] tag handler has gone.

You will have to reload your personal information. That will get your avatar back, but your location and signature don't seem to show up when you post. To be honest, I don't know if that's the CQ default or something from the rebuild.

(It will make those old Moderator admonishments to "Read the Rules. There's a link in my signature." kinda strange.)

And suddenly it's there! (But the strikethrough option isn't.)

[Solfe]

I don't often hit the "go advanced" for posting, but it appears to me that the smiles take up less room.

That is a very welcome update. Thanks!

[Nowhere Man]

Yes, they do. In the previous incarnation, they were all on one line, now they're in a 3x5 block. I complained about that pointed that out a while ago.

My avatar and sig hadn't shown up, so I re-did them. Strikethrough is still broken.

Fred

[Gillianren]

I didn't install my avatar in the first place. If this is broken, there's nothing I can do.

[ToSeek]

Well, nothing you can do ....

[Gillianren]

Thank you!

[KnowTheCosmos]

We're still getting things taken care of for subscriptions, user info and avatars. Thank you everyone for your patience and support through the rebuild.

I'll need to manually go through and push in the kilopi usergroup. That's a little lower on my priority list, but it's on there and will be completed today.

It shouldn't be low. That should be the top one, because you probably know that very bad things can happen if one member forgets the proper protocol and forgets to use the secret handshake embedded in the message text. So if we aren't able to recognize other members, you could have blood on your hands.

Other than that, thanks for the effort!

[Jens]

I'm also not sure where to find my former avatar. I guess I downloaded or uploaded it from somewhere. . .

[Lurking Nerd]

Here's another small one. I read all the posts in a forum but the forum doesn't get marked as read until I look at the threads in the forum again. For example, I was reading this thread. Since it was the last post to read, I went directly to the forum Introductions and Feedback. After reading that, I then click on the About the Forums and it shows that there are unread posts in the Forum Rules forum but when I go in there are none. I remember this being brought up after the merger and ToSeek mentioned a setting for updating this status but I couldn't find that post with a quick search.

I've noticed the same problem
