Questions about the upgrade.

[Criada]

I know there is a lot of confusion at the moment... there is still a lot to do before the site is running properly.
This is the place to ask your questions.... and staff will try to answer them, or to find out.
I will also update the OP with answers to the most common questions so that you don't have to trawl through the thread.

A couple to start off with:

Jobs - Yes, they will be back. No, I don't know exactly when!

Bank - Your blessings are still there The 10 000 limit does not apply to those you already have... though I don't know how long this will be the case.

 

[Tweetie]

Where did the PETS go?

 

[Criada]

They will be back
CelticGrace is the contact point for pets queries... but basically, it's another one we may have to wait a few days for .

 

[MrJim]

Where did that "Thanks" button go?

 

[Criada]

Taken down because of a glitch... it will be back soon

 

[MrJim]

Gosh, I broke it last night

 

[MrJim]

Do you think they'll bring back the NavBar? I've got sigs & avatars & all sorts of things shut off; the NavBar is the only real perk I liked

 

[MrJim]

And what are the colored start things above the rep bar?

 

[MrJim]

Just checking somethin'

You get more than one blessing per post~I just got 6 --bug?

 

[MrJim]

So Criada, how didja get 85 Billion blessings

Might have guessed it was you!

There was a discussion about this... apparently it isn't possible... but I think that there is an alternative... when I find out what it is, I'll let you know.

And what are the colored start things above the rep bar?

Something to do with how many reps you have... ask Steve it you want details!!

No, that's deliberate... I think the number varies. I am not sure whether it is permanent or a celebration of the re-opening.

Generous friend!!
There was a bank glitch... some people ended up with gazillions! And are giving them away before they are re-set!

 

[MrJim]

Some folks have blessing numbers higher than I can count

Guess it'll all settle down~look forward to being able to change the posting font color~that pale grey is a little hard to see.

I got something wrong there, didn't I
Ah well.... someone else has evidently blessed you more successfully!
You can change the font colour when you post... I am hoping that more folks will start doing that soon!

 

[drstevej]

At present the colors of the stars represent nothing. The whole rep thing is funky for now

 

[MrJim]

Yeah but the blessing thing is weird~you look like you need a few more

Yeah, CaDan dumped a load on me~givin' em out as fast as I can though they'll probably reset it all or something

 

[drstevej]

I know I'm loaded now. Thanks Mr. Jim

 

[MrJim]

Lee's gonna let us cash 'em in at the end of the week ...CF promotional thing...

 

[ReformedChapin]

why do some people have a billion blessings? and why no denom. icons?

 

[Zecryphon]

why do some people have a billion blessings? and why no denom. icons?

I read that the icons are coming back but they will only be visible in your profile. If you want someone to know what your denomination is you can write it in your custom title bar. Everyone I speak with regularly knows I'm a Lutheran, but I may put something in my signature to that effect later on for those who don't know.
