Forum Update

[Marked 197]

There have been many new updates with the forum, and I've waited until I got most of them finished so I can have them all in one topic.

 

First of all, we've moved to a new host. In case you didn't noticed. All of the restrictions of the previous host are gone, so MySQL and PHP work fine. In order to transfer the forums, I was unable to export all of the data. But since I have done this many times before, I know which tables we need, and which tables we don't. Although, if i did everything right, you can't even tell.

As some of you got to the new forum, you may have noticed that your posts had decreased. Some members even went down a couple of ranks. I just noticed that not too long ago, and restored all of the post counts. If you have any problems still, send me a PM.

 

Secondly, we have a new downloads manager. It's not exactly integrated with the forum, but it is integrated with the forum skin. This means that you have to register to Upload your files. Please use it to upload your resources and other downloads, there are many categories for RPG Maker XP. You can find the downloads manager under the RPG Maker XP menu. Here is the link: http://www.rmxpunlimited.trap17.com/forums...o=show&id=2

 

The Arcade has been updated to the latest version, and several new games have been added. Data from before the transfer was lost however, because it was very difficult to get the Arcade working, I had to play around with the database a little bit. Anyway, it is working properly, and there will be more games added.

 

Members Albums will now be disabled. Only staff members may have their own Album. All of the other Categories though, you can still upload as many images as you like. Permissions on some of the Blog features will change also, but this will not affect any of your blogs.

 

New staff positions. There are two new staff positions open on the forum. They are:

RMXP Support Team

Requirements:

The RMXP Support Team must be experienced with RPG Maker XP, and confident they can solve most problems other members will have on the forums.

Information:

The RMXP Support Team's job is to help other members on the forum with any problems they may have. Your job will be to make sure all the help topics are solved, and generally help out with RPG Maker XP.

 

Permissions will be increased as a staff member.

 

RMXP Unlimited Resource Team

Requirements:

The RMXP Unlimited Resource Team will need to be experienced and confident in creating resources for RPG Maker XP. To apply for this position, you do not need to be good at everything. For example, if you can make Title screens, you can apply.

Information:

The RMXP Unlimited Resource Team will be a team of members who are experienced in creating resources for RPG Maker XP. This group will have minor moderating abilities in the Resource Request forum, where they will complete other members requests. The number of completed requests will be recorded.

 

Permissions will be increased as a staff member.

 

These positions have been added so we can help more members, and increase RPG Maker XP activity on the forum. If you are interested, please apply. Other applications include Spriting and Music teacher. Applications can be found here: http://www.rmxpunlimited.trap17.com/forums...tocom=dstaffapp

 

The RMXP Unlimited Academy, from now on, is to be called: The RMXP Training Center. Applications have already been accepted, as the future teachers know. The RMXP Training Center will begin soon. I have started setting up the forums already, but there is a lot for me to set up so we can start.

For all of those will new staff positions, there will be a badge a placed under your user group image. This is so members know that you are a staff member, and what you do on the forum. I have not set this up quite yet.

 

Some of you may have noticed some new things on the forum that weren't there before with this skin. All of the modifications that affect the skin in some way have been fixed. These include quick reply PM, No. of members viewing a forum, and a few more. I am still working on finishing the skin. Most of it is done though.

 

The website I am having trouble with. I have many new things for the website, but it's just going to take a while to fix. So there is no need for you to go to the website, it will be some time until I set it up properly. I will make an announcement when it's finished.

[Marked 197]

Thanks. I'm still working on more updates, but they are only minor. Ichabod meant that when he clicked on the link in the menus, the gallery would not work. It just went blank. I forgot to fix this earlier, it works now.

Still haven't finished the skin, but I'm getting around to it.

[Arkbennett 16]

Wow, Marked.

I do half to commend you, your doing a wonderful job at making this place the best it can be.

So, I thought I'd just say, thank you.

[Marked 197]

Thank you. That means a lot. I am trying. :lol: Well, lets see how things go. There's a lot of work to be done.

 

Just finished something else. I replaced the posts icons from the skin, to the nicer looking ones, and added two RPG Maker ones.

This one is for your RGSS Scripts:

I noticed Leon using this one(Icon13), so I changed it to the RGSS player icon.

Secondly, this one is for your projects:

 

If the old ones show up, you just have to refresh the images. If you have any post icon suggestions, then please tell me.

hey marked, what happened to the forum a few days ago, it said that the account had been suspended :(. Thank God that it is back up.

[Ratty524 0]

Since he moved to trap, he apparently has to post on the trap forums, otherwise his account gets suspended.

[Marked 197]

That's basically it. I left because of exams, had no time for other things. Topic Closed.
