I like the new layout, but how do I post more pics if I already exceeded my limit from before the overhaul? Should I delete the old ones? If so, how? Thanks dude.

Lutz,

I've checked your account and you have 10 attachments across the forums, many of which are very large (600Kb - 1Mb) and this is what has caused the system to prevent you from posting more. I would strongly recommend that you look at each post and reduce the size of the images on there (in both pixel size as well as file size).

Here are a list of your largest attachments:

Let me know if you need further help in reducing the size of your attachments.

Cheers!

The updated forum looks awsome. I tried to find the print function that would produce a printable version of a thread but I couldn't locate it. Is it still available, I usually print threads so that I can read them while commuting.

Stephan Whelan · #20 November 22nd, 2004

It sure is! Click on the "Thread Tools" option at the top of the thread and it'll display a fly-out menu with Printable Version on there.

I've just noticed that I have 400 and something private messages out of 150.
Is there anyway to download those messages so it won't take up place on DB?
I wouldn't wanna delete all of them...

The new format looks great, Stephan! Hopefully you have time to do other things in life in addition to this site.....don't know how you do it

Keep up the good work.
OceanSwimmer

...and where are the Karma points and triggers?

DeepThought,

There are options at the bottom of the Private Messaging page - http://forums.deeperblue.net/private.php - that allow you to download your Private Messages in Text, CSV or XML format.

DeepThought · #24 November 23rd, 2004

10x!
I'll d/l them in all 3 formats since I'm not sure what that means.

(CSV-comma seperated values?)

By the way, kudos on the great job, I'm surprised I don't miss the old interface at all.

Thank you.

G'Day all,

I seem to be the only one experiencing this problem, but after your server went offline then came back up, every time I try to access it I get a DNS error, like the site doesn't exist? This happens for all the pages I have bookmarked, including the home page, forum main page and a few different posts. At the moment I'm looking at it on a public computer, but for now, slacking off at work and looking at it there doesn't seem to be an option...

Cheers,

Brad

DeepThought · #26 November 28th, 2004

well, if it's a DNS problem maybe accessing the site's IP directly (72.3.131.143) would help...

There shouldn't be any reason why you can't access the sites. We switched over a few weeks ago so all DNS changes will have propogated.

Can you do me a favour - can you email or PM me the results from a "ping" on any computer that can't access DB. You can ping by going to a command prompt and running the command "ping www.deeperblue.net".

loopy · #28 November 30th, 2004

I tried the IP this morning and got no response - this time though its a "500" error, something about a bad server? I'm thinking (actually I'm pretty sure) it may have something to do with the server - they usually don't like people accessing non-work related sites, but it worked fine before the site went offline, and if you do access a "bad" site, it comes up with a different warning...
I can't ping the address either, the machines we use don't have a hard drive, but are booted straight off the network... so no access to a command prompt or a C drive

loopy · #29 December 1st, 2004

Hmmm... it seems today I can access the site again?

Cool

Question: according to your FAQ at the top, Stephen, there is a functionality to upload a new user pic (besides an avatar I mean) Yet when I click on your included link it gets me to a "you can't go there" message. What's up?
