Major Site Update News

Ooh, now we have spammers starting porn threads. :(

Chaos:
Yeeeeah.  Those have been removed. I didn't notice that with the upgrade to the new forum version it removed the membership verification questions for registering.  I reinstated those and banned the new memberships from the past day. 

The other thing I noticed was that apparently something in the upgrade caused all the avatars to be unassigned.  It looks like they're still on the server and you can go back into your profile and add avatar(s) again. You should be able to find and assign your old one, or can take the "opportunity" to upload a new one. Note: I haven't tested new avatar uploads yet, so if you try it before I do and it doesn't work, let me know...

Hmm...looks like the smileys are also missing. No more dancing :broccoli:? I'll work on that, too...

Edit: ...And the dancing broccoli has returned. Fortunately, that was an easy fix.  :party:

Edit2: And the avatar issue, I think, is fixed.

RokofAges75:
Thanks for all your hard work!  Just popped on for the first time today, and everything looks good!

RokofAges75:
Has anyone tried updating a story since the site upgraded?  I just tried posting a new chapter, and I keep getting an error message that says "A fatal MySQL error was encountered."

Chaos:
Well...that kind of sucks.

I had updated a story, but not added a new one or a new chapter to one. But I tried now and did get the error.  I'll start working on a fix, but unfortunately will likely not be able to get it completed today unless it turns out to be an easy fix. :crossing fingers:

Edit: Alas, not a simple fix. I can't find a reason for the error. I re-set up the site on a backup server to see if the problem replicates there...and it did NOT replicate. The good news is that since it didn't replicate, it should be fixable. The bad news is that since I can't get the reason for the error it's going to be a bit like finding that pesky needle in a haystack, so it may take a while...
