Jam Posted April 28, 2013 Share 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 [email protected]. You might be required to reset your password. Use this page to reset your password. Edited April 28, 2013 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSoldier Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Could it be that the Password-Reset function works awkward sometimes, too? (oh well, not accepted to the beta...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generalcamo Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Also: You may need to reset your bookmarks if they point directly to the old forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generalcamo Posted April 28, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraggoth Posted April 28, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crappieangler1 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Didn't have to reset my password! Success! What happened to the main site though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havoc9826 Posted April 30, 2013 Share 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.

Sonic Posted April 30, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XD_ERROR_XD Posted April 30, 2013 Share 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?

NodCommander Posted May 6, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share 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.
