Topic: Closure of mj12games on yahoo groups

Just read that we have Two weeks left due to no new messages.
I am not sure that the messages always works on the yahoo group, but more useful has been the files section.

This new forum scheme seems very bright (pass the sunglasses).
I notice that there is an "Upload attachment" section below. Will it also be possible to delete attachments when they become out of date? On the yahoo groups I always delete the previous version of the shipyard and Wardogs construction sheets when a new version may be needed.

Re: Closure of mj12games on yahoo groups

Just updated to phpBB3 -- trying to find a style that works for me. I'd prefer something close to what we had in phpBB2.

Yes, attachments are now allowed to posts. I'm not sure about the file updating -- but if you want a file deleted, you can always ask me to do it. smile

Just seen.

OK stopped laughing.
"Hello Kitty"????????????
I think changing the scheme to this might be a bit far.
Or is this a new game that you have in mind?

There's a widget over to the left, under your profile management somewhere - poke around there.

My, but you done went and updated this thang! Not a bad job, not bad at all - seems a bit bland color-wise though.

I suppose that we could drop the yahoo groups thing if we HAD to. One concern I have is you incurring the cost of the bandwidth if people upload too many files (or view too many).

Re: Closure of mj12games on yahoo groups

Oy, I gotta question, too....

What happened to the Omegapedia? If was just gone, now it's asking me for a password.


...and I'm responsible for 7+ percent of the posts made here. I'm not sure if that's good, or I just have no life.

Sorry ... it happened very quickly. I've been sitting on the phpBB3 upgrade for months, and only yesterday figured out why it wasn't working. So when I fixed it, I waned to make everything happen RIGHT NOW.

Everything should still be there -- but if you find any problems, let me know; I've archived the old forum.

Re: Closure of mj12games on yahoo groups

As I suggested on the yahoo group. . .

pbwiki makes an excellent place to store files.  At it would take is for somebody to be willing to take 5 min to set one up, and tell people where to move their files to.  I'm not here much, so I don't want to be the owner, but maybe somebody else does?

Re: Closure of mj12games on yahoo groups

I want Icons that are obvious that there's a new post.

I want a shutdown on idiotic signatures.

eveything else I can do without (except of course the breasts, I like those)

Re: Closure of mj12games on yahoo groups

I like the new loook and I rarely check the yahoo group these days.  The storage space is nice, but that's all I can think of!

Re: Closure of mj12games on yahoo groups

It would be a pity if the group closed, but if everyone else wants to let it slide what the hell.

@cricket: I had a bit of a bad day the day before yesterday, primarily because of a meeting which gave me a headache, plus with Christmas and everything else thats happening...Just caught me on a bad day yesterday, thats all.

Actually, with the removal of the Yahoo! group and the website redesign, I SHOULD be able to allow for file hosting directly on mj12games.com.

Re: Closure of mj12games on yahoo groups

I'm rather fond of the yahoo group, but as long as the files there are still accessable, I am ok with it going.

I'm waiting on my web host to approve the file upload script.

Assuming it is acceptable and doesn't pose a huge security risk, you should be able to start moving files from the Yahoo! group soon.

Re: Closure of mj12games on yahoo groups

I have decided to go ahead and leave the Yahoo! group up for archival purposes. However, I will not be actively maintaining or monitoring the group.
