Possible Questions and their Answers:

• Q: When are you going to work on the forums? ___ isn't working!
  A: I believe the bright red text is self-explanitory. If you're still not sure, check the calendar. :smash:
• Q: Can I still post while the forums are being worked on?
  A: No. The forums will be closed.
• Q: But I really need to go on TFF on Sunday!! Can you make an exception?
  A: No...
• Q: What exactly will you be doing?
  A: It's listed in the announcement above.
• Q: Will you be adding any new features?
  A: No. Depreciated features will be removed, along with some other useless crap.
• Q: ZOMG my favorite feature is ____!!!111one Are you removing it?!?
  A: Probably... because I hate you. :p
• Q: Why do you hate me? I don't even know you.
  A: Because you are asking stupid questions... The "popular" features are not being removed. If by some chance you happened to be using a depreciated feature that is being removed, sorry.
• Q: My question isn't listed here, is it safe to post?
  A: Probably...

The maintenance is complete for today. The only noticeable change to you should be the return of all the gizmos/ads that vanished the other day. All the other changes were under the hood.

The database is a lot cleaner than it was, but it still needs work at a later date. That project will most likely take all day... but it won't be for another month or so. I'll post another annoucement when the date draws nearer.

If anything is acting funky, please either post it here or PM me. Don't make another topic. Thanks. :smash:

Two things I can see just now (though it may just be TFF Dark)

1. A greyish line is appearing underneath the online now/rep/report buttons.
2. HP and EXP statistics are in black which can't be read in TFF Dark unless you squint

I can read the black just fine. ^^;
And I think the Online/Rep/Report buttons are supposed to be BELOW that greyish line... I think.

The line is supposed to be there. I can adjust the color on it. And no the buttons are where they are supposed to be. ;)

As for the text color, I can read it just fine, but I can easily change it. The layouts are going to be overhauled eventually.

Oooh, I can see my warning now. But the font size is too big! Yay! =P
At least.. on that post. o.O; Can't see it on this one. Huh...

*wonders what else is going to happen*

LOL what you don't like the huge-ass announcement that you have a warning? ;) I see them on all your posts.

The HP/EXP color was changed. Not sure about the line though... I didn't write that shit. ^_^

Yeah, I see it on all of them now, but not before. And heh, I honestly don't mind, it's just breaking the table a bit. lol

Edit: o.O; wtf.. now I can't see my post content, hahah.

Edit 2: AHH! All post content is gone! O_O;

Yeah in TFF dark I can't see any post content either. Not that it's not showing up it is just not there.

:Edit:
Also I just noticed in TFF light when accessing font color changes in my sig menu it only will populate white (only option availible) might just be a temporary glitch though.

You probably was viewing it when I was updating it. Hence why I don't like farking with it when it's live... but on the flip-side it's easier to fix things when people point them out since I don't see everything.

EDIT:
* Gray line fixed...
* The only template item affected was how the post is displays. Nothing else was modified. It definitely is acting funky, but I have no idea why atm. I'll look into it though.

:stupid: That's a lovely pic. Now the question is, why did you cut out the part of the image that would've helped me the most... the LINK?

And since I have no idea what it's supposed to look like, that info would be helpful as well. I didn't install the warning hack nor have I ever used it.

EDIT: Through the power of observation I figured out where it was and fixed it. :p

thanks for fixing this. I forgot that a 'warning' post may alter the tables. I went ahead and deleted that sample post from this thread...

Let me know if I need to look at any of the templates Merlin, thanks!

I was trying to fix the farking img jumping out of the div tags... and now I can't b/c you deleted the example... O.o

Bwahah.. fixed it. I'm thinking of nuking HTML in sigs since we let ppl use img and youtube tags. Two reasons:
A: Scripting would be blocked.
B: I've limited the width on img tags. Oh yes... all you folks who refuse to shrink your ginormous sig pics... I'm talking about you. :p Maybe some pretty scrollbars on your image will change your mind... ^_^

Um... I've noticed that Lunasa's posts seem to be causing a problem

If you look at the attachment down below you'll notice that there is something wrong with the quotes and something wrong with the Online/Rep/Report buttons. They seem to be appearing in the spoiler...

As already mentioned and covered by Lunasa herself, Right here. >_>;
I already told her how to fix it, but alas, since her thing is like that, only an admin can fix it.

Yeah, I found it a bit funny actually... since I just spent all that time fixing how bad your IMG farked up the layout.

BTW: HTML is now banned... I'll make a topic about it momentarily. I'm debating whether Im going to go thru all 515 sigs that have <img> tags in them and fix it... XD

Well, I already fixed mine to have [ img ], but then I just remembered.

[img] is still disabled for signatures, so uh.. if you're going to disable HTML, mind re-enabling that please? Arigatou. =D

Edit: Although you probably are already aware of that anyway. Oops.

It's already been reenabled. I changed mine as soon as I logged in tonight.

Though, all I see in your signature is links. You must be doing something wrong.

Check out the announcement Merlin just put up in the Forum Announcements section.

Well, it works now. I guess it was reenabled just now or something. Cause when Merlin first took off HTML, it was still disabled. ^^;

You always have a habit of posting things right when I'm fixing them. :smash: The mods one didn't take when I did it the first time.
