Captain's Log

Don't worry, it will get asked again.

Those who read it, but still fervently believe that honey and backyard eggs are vegan, and do not agree with the notion posted that they are not, normally try to point that out..... (sigh)

I've been doing some tweaking/rationalization of the forum structure + given more forums the anon feature this morning:

These forums now allows anon posts:
  • 18+ Discussion
  • Sexuality
  • Men's, Women's and Members-Only health forums
These forums have been merged:
  • Anonymous Chat merged into The VIP Club
  • The anon sub-forum under Sexuality has merged with Sexuality
  • Games has been merged with The Lounge
New thread prefixes:
  • 'Anon' in forums where you can post anonymously
  • 'Game' in The Lounge
 
The board software has just been upgraded to the most recent version.

There is a bug fix that hopefully will make the text editor behave much better on lower-spec (slower CPU) computers.

@Mikkel - I've reverted you back to the standard text editor. Please let me know if it's any better than before ... I have yet to try it out myself on my own computer at home.
 
I will tell you after I've used it a bit. :) Just now, it looks much better at least. But if it's start to lag again, I'll tell you. :)

I've just installed an add-on which allows embedding of media (videos, audio streams etc) from more than 100 sites.

For demonstration purposes, here is something from Instagram:

(Note that for some reason these are not displayed in the list of supported sites which is displayed when you click the media icon in the rich text editor. The best way to check if a site is supported is to simply try it. It's now displaying ... I think!)

I'm going to have to restart the server in a bit for system updates to take effect. So at 15 minutes past the hour (in about 7 minutes) we'll be offline for a minute or two.

Edit: Done.

New feature: There is now a Post New Thread button in the top right area of the forum main page. I hope it'll make it slightly easier for newbies to start new threads.

Just upgraded to the latest version of the forum software. Just a maintenance release, so no new features, just bug fixes.

Expecting a new version in a week or three, though, which will have new features.
 
Have been experimenting with some forum speed optimizations over the last few days, including that add-on which hid all of shyvas' photos. Said add-on has been updated with a bug fix and is now enabled again. Seems to be working. If anyone notices anything unusual they haven't told me about yet, then do speak up.

IS, tell us why you picked Don Johnson for your new avatar.
Well, I watched Miami Vice when it was on TV, and to me the show represents well the aesthetics and zeitgeist of the 80s which is a decade I remember fondly. But mostly it's because I love some of the music for that series so much.
 
It was one of my favorite shows. I also like the music...and Don Johnson, back in the day...or I should say, Sonny Crocket.

Damn, he's still kind of cute for an old guy, lol.

Gosh, I would not have recognized him.
