Jam Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) Welcome everyone to the new Renegade X forums! As you have probably seen, these forums are a bit like the game we're working on, it works... but it's not done. Over the next few decades we will be finishing up both these forums, and of course the game itself. The change of forum systems was due to having technical difficulties over and over again with the vBulletin system, therefore we have chosen phpBB3, not because we think it's better, not because we think it's worse, but because we're more experienced with it. It's easier to manage for us. You will probably bump into some bugs while you're reading posts on the forums, or when you're sending private messages to your best friends on the internet! Some pages may look like you're back in 1995, but we're working on it! The forums are everything but done, and just like Renegade X (the game), the development of these forums takes place after work, and since I work 24/7 I do not get a lot of time to work on these forums. Please bear with us while we try to make a working forum! If you would like to leave a message, or if you are a person with a lot of time off and also with some basic webskills, feel free to send me a private message, oh wait, rather not, feel free to send me an e-mail at jam@renegade-x.com. You might be required to reset your password. Use this page to reset your password. Edited April 28, 2013 by Guest Quote
ZixXer Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 IT's to windows 8 like, give it some shadow lines i'm still in the better windows 7 more like the logo ontop, otherwise looks good Quote
InfernalDead Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 I love the new forum designs! Will the main site be returning with a redesign? Quote
Totem Arts Staff kenz3001 Posted April 28, 2013 Totem Arts Staff Posted April 28, 2013 looking good Quote
NoSoldier Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Could it be that the Password-Reset function works awkward sometimes, too? (oh well, not accepted to the beta...) Quote
Former Developers Havoc89 Posted April 28, 2013 Former Developers Posted April 28, 2013 Finally the new forums are online Good work Jam and CoffeeBuritto! Quote
Generalcamo Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Also: You may need to reset your bookmarks if they point directly to the old forums. Quote
Generalcamo Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Couple things: All Linkbacks to the old forums (even inside of this forum) are completely broken. Those that point to a specific thread won't anymore. The Live WIP forum is not hidden. It should be. Quote
fraggoth Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 The new forums are lookin' good! Pretty pleased that I didn't wind up having to go through the password-reset rigamarole. Woohoo! Next couple days are gonna be intense. Quote
ssjChris Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 Wooo! I like it. And now the quick reply box works in Chrome! Oh yeahhhhh! Quote
crappieangler1 Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 Didn't have to reset my password! Success! What happened to the main site though? Quote
havoc9826 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Didn't have to reset my password! Success! What happened to the main site though? Yeah, somehow I was able to log into my account without resetting the password. I DID try to reset it yesterday, but the email never came. Odd. Also, yay for being able to switch to my animated avatar! Also, I noticed some weird stuff going on in my Private Messages. My "Inbox" is full of messages generated from 5 posts I hit "Report" on, and they're addressed from me to Fobby. Not sure why that's in "Inbox" instead of "Sent". Also, my "Sent Messages" folder is throwing a bunch of PHP errors, and actually contains two replies to two of my Reported messages. Double weird. Quote
Sonic Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) Nice job with the new forums. I know how time consuming switching from one to another can be. We used use to phpBB a while back on CNCNZ.com. Made the BIG and much welcomed change to Invision Power Board 2.X in early 2008, now on IPB 3.X and haven't looked back. I know you guys stated you know how phpBB works and are familiar with it, but its a shame you didn't consider Invision Power Board, it can offer and do so much more Edited May 1, 2013 by Guest Quote
XD_ERROR_XD Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 forums are looking good, but i kinda liked the look of old website more. as said before, it's too basic, too 'windows 8 like'. and yes, i didn't have to change my password . any reason for this? Quote
DrummerX Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 SOOOO much cleaner than the old ones, lovin' it! Quote

XD_ERROR_XD Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Just a question: why isn't my signature showing up? I changed it yesterday but I couldn't see it in my posts... Quote
Jam Posted May 1, 2013 Author Posted May 1, 2013 Just a question: why isn't my signature showing up? I changed it yesterday but I couldn't see it in my posts... You can change this in your preferences. Go to this page: ucp.php?i=prefs&mode=post and enable the Attach my signature by default option. Quote
XD_ERROR_XD Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 I went to the page, but it was already set on 'yes'. I pressed submit anyways, but it still isn't showing up... EDIT: seemingly, it only shows up on new posts after I pressed submit...? This Is getting confusing lol Quote

Jam Posted May 2, 2013 Author Posted May 2, 2013 can give my Legend: Phase II Beta Testers,i have Confirm application E-MAIL. You should now be able to see the Phase II forums. Quote
Sonic Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 We'll keep it in mind for the next transfer. I know your joking But at least phpBB is free. IPB is $175 to purchase and $25 every 6 months to renew (all US dollars). Quote

crappieangler1 Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 renegade-x.com/site still doesn't work. It gives a pretty strange message. Are you going to put it back up or should I change my bookmark to these forums? EDIT: Also, I wish I would have signed up for the beta. . Quote
a000clown Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 'though I'm not active, still nice to see things progressing here pass reset email ends up in gmail's spam folder, for those wondering why it doesn't work Quote
Lomztein Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 I love these new forums and all, but I'm a bit concerned about the main site, it has looked like this - http://puu.sh/2MyRE.png - for a few days now. Any words on that? By the way, absolutely fantastic work on both the game and forums! Quote
Jam Posted May 4, 2013 Author Posted May 4, 2013 pass reset email ends up in gmail's spam folder, for those wondering why it doesn't work Thanks, we'll look into it.

NodCommander Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 One thing I am missing is the option for an Xfire adress to be filled in along with the rest of the IMs on your profile. Quote
Jam Posted May 6, 2013 Author Posted May 6, 2013 One thing I am missing is the option for an Xfire adress to be filled in along with the rest of the IMs on your profile. I will add options for both Xfire and Steam. Update: I have added them as profile fields, I might implement them to work the same way as the other IM buttons later. Quote
Dedf3ar Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 All I have to say is... Hell Yeah! And are the old Servers up anymore? Quote
