Didn't find any obvious solutions problems on a quick scan. Before I get support, other members, are MrJealousy's bugs reproducible? All members should have the same permissions from what I can see in the admin control panel.

Sorry for the delayed answer here, just got back from a trip to Scotland and the Continuum Convention in Leicester (great fun!).

I'll get around to this by the end of the week. Added it to the bug list.

I can no longer paste things into the forums?  I've tried the paste button and the word paste button but nothing seems to work.  Little help?

Works for me. I can use the copy-paste shortkeys Ctrl+c and Ctrl+v as usual, but have to paste into a box first when using the paste icon here.

Other members - do you experience this error that Max_Writer reports too?

Great!

Getting there faster now ...

 

On the "View New Content" page, to the left of every thread, there is a button that is either a star or a circle. Clicking on that takes you to the First Unread Thread.

 

It isn't obvious, but it is there.

 

It might be worth posting similar tricks to a FAQ Thread.

 

Good idea, I'll put it on the list.

 

 

 

RSS should work, but you problably have to add it again now that we've moved. Link in lower left corner.

 

 

I'll check that out.

Okay, probably fixed now. Try your upload and see if it works nerdvana!

Download section is open again and downloading downloads work. Uploads right around the corner nerdvana!

Redirects now work, so old links point to the right place.

To be honest, I do not know yet. I think it's something the moderators and administrators can award you, problably more useful at larger boards where you wouldn't remember the members from time to time. I'll get rid of it if that's what it is. Downloads and redirect links prioritized at the moment, but I'll add it to the bug list so I'll remember it.

EDIT: Found some info here:

• On the first warning, nothing happens (it's a verbal warning only)
• On the second warning, all posts the user makes for the next day will need to be approved by a moderator.
• On the third warning, the user will be banned for one day and all posts the user makes for the next week will need to be approved by a moderator.
• On the fourth warning, the user will be banned for a week.
• On the fifth warning, the user will be permanently banned.

I'll get rid of it. It's ban or nothing in here, I expect everyone to play nicely together!

Had to close the download section while waiting for help. Some database problem that must be fixed before it can open again.

While investigating the upload bug I found a major download bug too. Waiting for IPB staff support on both.

smjn found the answers. Thank you smjn!

Just bought it. HUGE file, currently waiting for it to download.

I'm using A-State to as a banished Clanking City in my Gloranthan campaign, Dark Streets will fit right in with it too I hope!

Tell us more about the forthcoming Terror of the Toad campaign!

Thank you, I'll have a look at it later today!

Thank you, I'll go looking into it. Is this error affecting all members?

EDIT: Got it fixed. Thanks for reporting it kreider204!

The hive moved some time ago, from the dying vBulletin software to IPB, and from basicroleplaying.com to basicroleplaying.org. Such moves are always troubled by new bugs. Please report any bugs you encounter in this thread so I can adress them.

BUGLIST:

Downloads:

Several files not found, probably lost during transition.

Fix: Request authors to reupload the files. Delete the files if no response is forthcoming.

Reported files:

1. 141-hit-locations
2. 402-pulp-edges-for-legend

Forum:

Old product lists in all subforums, with faulty links. Need updating and link correction.

Notifications about new posts fome from IPB and not BRP Central.

Email to admin does not work.

RSS feed problem.

After accidental "like", member reporst not being able to "unlike" a post.

Old table tag doesn't work anymore.

As the vBulletin software is slowly dying, we're moving to IP.Board - which seems better in most ways.

I ran into an issue trying to convert the database, so we're on a short hold while I get support from the tech guys. The forums will be down during the conversion.

Once the move is completed, we'll be located at basicroleplaying.org. A script will be left at basicroleplaying.com to redirect all those trying to reach old threads to the new URLs.

So, pack all your eggs and larvaes, the Hive will soon be on the move!

Goddamn hackers! Okay, change passwords and increase security!

Hi all!

Seems like our antispam software has been a bit hyperactive lately. While protecting us from hordes of cheap kitchen supplies, potency pills and whatnot, it has also gobbled up some valid posts, probably being oversensitive to links. Anyway, they're restored now and I'll try to adjust Spam-o-matic! a bit when I'm back in Norway again.

Cheers,

Trifletraxor.

Cubicle 7 is doing a kickstarter for a Boxed set for London with lots of goodies! Just joined the kickstarter today myself. Check it out:

Would you seamlessly transfer all posts/threads/files etc to the new software? Continuity is important in a content-rich site like this.

As for what I want:

Viewing forums/threads in a simple way

Ability to see new threads/posts

Ability to submit new posts and reply to posts

Download site

Maybe a wiki, but not essential

Pretty much what you have now, but I am easily pleased.

If vBulletin 5 shapes up, a transfer to that version would be seamless. So far the integrated wikis or mediawiki bridges I've seem for both vBulletin and IPB are 3rd party products which might not get continued support from the developers. It would be possible to set up a separate mediawiki, but then members would have to register and login to that separately. I've testet IPB now, and so far it looks like better software than vBulletin. All forum and blog posts would transfer fine, but the download section would have to be transferred manually IPB's download software.

As is, the site is great on a computer but hard to read on an Internet-capable phone. Also, triple-tap typing makes replying to forums on a mobile device a pain. Not sure if that's something you can control from your end, though.

Both vB5 and IPB are much easier to read on a cell phone.

Versions of this: http://ouropa.planeetta.com/rq_tools/enemygen/ for the BRP BGB, Magic World, CoC 6th & 7th, Renaissance, OpenQuest...

It is an amazing resource - but sadly, it's RQ6 only at present. It's possible (with varying degrees of faff) to adapt the output to use in other D100 games, but wouldn't it be ace to have properly tailored versions for each major D100/BRP ruleset?

Cheers,

Nick

Very nice! Beyond me, but I would host it in a second if anyone coded something like that!

Welcome to the forums ilexgarodan!

Darn! Too late...

I'm a MATE now!

This looks pretty good! I'm exited!

Hi all!

BRP Central is now running on vBulletin 4 software and has been for some time. It's starting to show its age, as viewing it on a phone works pretty bad.

I have a license for the vBulletin 5 software, but it's still too bug-filled to be any use. It could be an option if the developers manage to iron it out though.

Invision Power Board is another option. I should be able to transfer posts from this forum to that pretty easy. I'm going to try it out for another forum first though, to get a feel for it before I consider it for BRP Central.

Other types of software may also turn up to be candidates.

An important question here is what kind of functionality you would like to see in the future? What are the most important aspects of this site's software to you?

Cheers,

Trifletraxor.
