did someone say petz?? Thank you so much for all your hard work

 

[Miracle Storm]

Glad so much has been done.
I was wondering if for our profile details we could get a box for divorced.
~thanks.

petz as in pets? Do you mean the pets will be back soon?

The other piece of good news is that those of you experiencing random post moderation problems should be all clear now!

Still having a problem with this. Not as bad as before, but some are still showing up in the queue

Thanks, Ron..
So, the site supporter status beside our names will or will not be back?
Sorry to be so anal about this, but it was just one of the things I liked.
Also, when the bank is fixed, will everyone be given their interest lost since the bank was not fixed for several months?

The first tech that was working on this also mentioned to us that we would have some additional perks (For Site Supporters) that he thought we would really love. If SS has been fixed somewhat, those perks should be available to us now. Did he by any chance pass these on to Sir Adrian or to LeeD before he moved on ?

I was also made aware that we would be able to customize our profile pages somewhat, like Yuku or EzBoard profiles. When will that be available?

I'm glad to see the Pets will be coming back soon.
Thanks and God bless

Ok....

We are working on the bank, the jobs, blessings, and the post bit. Ideally, we need to do them all at once, in order to bring the icons back up in the postbit, ie the graphical part to the right of the avatar. However, that is a huge undertaking, thus we are doing this in 2 steps... First bring up these things one at a time, and manually code the post bit (sort of the old way, which led to server issues) but alas we will only have a few things up, not all 22 or so options. That way, ya'll get some of the cool features back shortly. Doing so gives us the time to recode how the images and such are generated and placed in the postbit, and thus over a longer term bring us almost back to the old post bit, without the associated hit on server performance. We will install Petz before doing the big post bit push though.

Not sure if this is the same problem that you are referring to, but I see this on alot of the threads. It adds several pages to the end of the post, and you cannot read beyond a certain page. However, it is the end that you are reading, but misleading you to think there are several more pages and ends up frustrating people.

No, that's a different problem

That's a known issue which will be corrected once we make some changes to our ban routines. I will be implemented it sometime next week.

Old threads will probably still be affected for some time, though.

Is there any chance that we could have the "go" button put back at the bottom of each thread, so that you don't have to go back to the top of the page to get back into the forum you are in? Please.......with sugar on it......

I second this request. I asked nexia to do it and he said it was an easy fix, but then he quit the next day and it didn't get done.

What about the tag that says we are Site Supporters? Will that be back?

I don't know why I can't get a response to this. This will be at least the third time I have asked.

The thread you mention is being updated in the OP only. That means that people who are already subscribed to that thread will NEVER see that there is a new post, because there isn't one. So the only way to KNOW that thread's OP is being updated is by clicking into Announcements, clicking into the thread, and checking the OP for a hopefully dated update, or remembering what the last update was and seeing if anything has changed.

Since this is supposed to be a thread for communication, and improving public relations and communication is supposed to be the goal, why can that thread not be updated with a NEW POST so it will show up in subscribers' UserCPs and they will be notified in that way that an update has been posted? Why do you continue to make it so difficult to know that there has been an update posted?

Can you, or someone, please respond to this?
