    Looks like you were cloned too! BTW the STO and CO forums are down as well, are they also getting an update?

    No, there's a separate issue for those...


    EDIT: Not any more! Those are fixed.

    There is always enough alcohol, and if you believe otherwise, you're simply not trying hard enough. 30.gif

    Take the above video for example. You could have tried the same with vodka instead of wine. And if that doesn't work, you can always try absinth. Or bio-fuel. They are not that different.

    Finally able to log in!!!DnD_Victory.gif

    It was frustrating being one of the first one to view the forums coming back and log in only to be told that I was 'banned'DnD_Surrender.gif. If anybody else is having issue like that, you should know you are not alone and at least 3 people had that issue.

    It doesn't help that there was not a single line regarding that issue in any of the post by turtle or melanderi. You should put a note to at least let the people know you are aware of such issues and will look into them. (considering the incident with truth's access to forum which went on for months...)

    Oh well! Time to teleport and upload my siga and avatar which I made ... DnD_bye.gif

    While we were aware of this, as far as I knew, it was only affecting users who used to have moderator or admin privileges. (Actually, for a little while we thought users were getting more permissions than they should have...)

    This should be fixed now. Our resident database guru used this information to debug the issue, figure out some of what happened, and revert everyone back to being normal users. If there are any further issues -- or if you don't have access to anything you think you should have -- please first try logging in and out (corny as it sounds), then post here.


    Thanks everyone for your patience, and I hope you're all enjoying the custom avatars.

    Just checking my signature - it should appear hopefully!
    DnD_shy.gif

    DnD_puzzled.gif My analysis of the forums:-
    It good and nice - posting images is cool. Standard smileys are also nice.

    Dnd_Laugh.gifFinally able to get rid of the evading darkness behind the words.

    As for bears :- Elminister took care of themDnD_Angry.gif

    I will just burns their remains just to be doubly sure ...

    EDIT: Thanks for the clarifications. Issues are bound to appear but it helps users if they know that you are already aware of the issue and they don't need to try other ways (as PM were also disabled for NW forum) to make you know...

    It had gotten me too.. I sent you a PM on the Champions Online boards, feel free to ignore and delete it now of, course.

    Speaking of, any chance we can get this sort of forum upgrade over there too? :D

    Eventually. Neverwinter needed it quickly -- there are some features that need this upgrade to happen -- but all the PWE and Cryptic games are going to get this upgrade eventually.

    Good to be back...my Moderator status went into limbo but now it's returned! When possible, could I have my green Community Moderator title back! Access comes first of course, so thank you so much for fixing that!

    It will be a file called "favicon.ico" in the base directory these this forum's vb is installed in. You just need to make or replace it with a .ico image.

    Here it is:
    http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/favicon.ico

    Update, here is the file you'll probably want to replace it with until you (if you want) make a D&D/Neverwinter type one: http://nw.perfectworld.com/favicon.ico

    It is the icon of the website displayed in the browser's tab where your website opens.
    Fav.jpg
    The person designing the website should know, it is favicon, mostly saved as Fav.ico when a website is published.

    EDIT:
    I haz been ninjaed ...

    Here is one i made real quick feel free to use: http://www.zebular.com/hosted/favicon.ico

    (won't show up on some browsers when clicked, download to view)

    Ahh. Well, that one might not change... the forums have, historically, had the default icon. Might be worth looking into, though....

    They're really handy to use to differentiate between sites. I use a favorites bar with no text, so being able to tell the difference between sites by their favicon.ico is a huge like of mine. :)
