Ok. The website is about to be back online. I need to install the frontend and sidebars that we are accustomed to.

Due to my ignorance, I\'ve lost just about all posts from yesterday. I don\'t figure this to be a big deal.

We\'ll be running like this for a while. Post if you have any problems with the current software.

To view the changelog and learn what\'s new/different in this 1.1 RC2 version of SMF, see here: http://hushedcasket.com/changelog.txt

Basically, the biggest news is AJAX support.

With AJAW, we can now edit our posts by double-clicking the topic or subject. We can also preview and post without having to reload the page. Give it a try.

Basic changes:

ome of the other notable changes in this release are:

* AJAX editing
o Edit a post without page reloads
o Double click to edit topic subjects on message index (Need quick moderation enabled)
* Added new search features including
o Search within a topic
o Search within personal messages
o Search participation levels are now shown
o A new feature to create a custom index for searching messages, and more.
* Most Online Today and Most Online Ever has been added to the Info Center.

But there were also numerous bugfixes including:

* Package manager bug was fixed.
* Deleting empty categories bug fixed

To ensure the most optimal preformance the following changes were made:

* Optimised the tables for holding \"topic read\" information
* The search engine was rewritten to better accommodate the fulltext and custom indexes
* Added cache support interface in admin panel where you can activate different accelerators.
* Made it much easier to integrate SMF with other software.
* Help files converted to template and language strings.
* Ensured SMF is MySQL STRICT compatible.
* The copyright text is now one line only.
* Added a Private Messages link to the menu.

Unfortunately, the frontend of the site (TinyPortal) isn\'t ready for this version of SMF. This means we\'ll wait for the next version of TinyPortal to be released. It is due out anytime now. When TinyPortal is released, we\'ll add the sidebars with the shoutbox and more. Hang in there.

GG.

GR.

I miss the shout box.. :(

Yes...

We have a shout box! A pseudo shout box...

I woke up this morning to a severly broken forum. I don\'t know what went wrong. Hang in there whilie I try to get the forum somewhat functional.

I had some problems with my site, too, but it\'s ok now. Whatever you did, it worked.

My database server went down a few times today. That is what caused error on your site, Mintz.

The database, however, wasn\'t the cause of the forum problems.

Has anyone else had any problems with the internet in the past day or two? For me, some sites would work fine while others wouldn\'t, and it didn\'t matter if I had wired/wireless LAN, Firefox or IE, rebooting didn\'t help, and router power-cycling didn\'t work. I have Knology Cable. Just wondering if any of you have had similar problems, or if it\'s just me. A couple other people I talked to experienced the same thing.

YES, I\'ve been having that problem! :o

something must have happend when the site went down cause now i have negative karma. :dunno:

I tried doing those things as well the other day, but my internet sucked. When I was downloading stuff, the speed fluctuated tremendously.

Glad it\'s not just me. It\'s either my ISP, or a couple backbone internet companies aren\'t being very cooperative.
