The Bay Area Masquerade

If you're currently having trouble on any of your accounts let me know and I'll reset your password and mark your account as active so you shouldn't have to use the captcha. Also, I lowered some of the complexity settings on the captcha for now. Hopefully that helps.

Things you rarely notice:

PM forwarding is disabled by default on phpbb for "standard users" (which most people are) On the other hand, Staff had it enabled by default.

I've turned it on for all (yay!)

I'll have to see what I can spot... though, at some point did you have an unread message that wouldn't go away? Did I clear that up? This may be related.

Ta-da!

NOT caused by a power failure... Comcast failed me :\ Sorry for the downtime. Now, back to your regularly scheduled politicking.

So, because I'm crazy and not as lazy as I like to believe I am, I made a nifty new little thing for the mobile forum. From the main site ( http://masquerade.endogaming.net ) if you click the forum link using a phone you may notice a new dialog. It asks you which forum you'd rather visit, the regula...

Try the IRCD again... it should work...

Leland and I blew out the power thanks to a toaster oven, a large TV, and a nice audio system... I need to get that power supply installed :\

I see a series of weird requests between 11:00 the 22nd and 12:50 on the 23rd. I'll pop Opera on my comp at home tonight and test to see if I have problems, but the php scripts are all processed on the server. I can't imagine why a browser would be causing the server to make a weird request for a fi...

This functionality hasn't changed since phpbb 3.0.0 - it was there with the old version of the forums as well. I'll look into customizing it for the "hidden" groups. It should only show groups that are either "open", "public", or "hidden and shared" (so, if a group is public, like "Brujah", we can a...

If you discover a critical, exploitable problem (such as an issue with Grapevine) - please do not post about that here. Instead, immediately send a PM to "administrator" (this user) with full instructions on reproducing the error. This has happened fairly regularly, and we appreciate it, but I felt ...

Is that working better?

There are occasional places for OOC comments in IC forums (such as: giving a phone number, giving instructions on when someone can do downtime scenes with you, etc...), however, it is highly inappropriate to make entire OOC posts in IC forums. These posts will be deleted if I see them in forums I vi...

LIES! LIES AND SLANDER

Though, this post should be in the "Problems" forum... Discoveries is for good things, Problems is for bad things.

I moved it up to the root level. It appears to work now.

This field did already exist actually, but it was hidden away somehow... I fixed it in the database.

I'll have to look in to that...

I've added a "Ro Util" link to the top of this page, as well as the main homepage. If you click it, you'll find that you can do electronic Roshambo's. These are made to be used when roing yourself or if you really trust your opponent. It is also optimized for your iPhone or similar mobile device. Yo...

You lie! This was never a problem, I swear...
::shiftyeyes::

Interesting - I thought I had caught it in all places, but this one doesn't really matter, so I won't "fix" it :). I could probably adjust it so mods always see these, but I think some of you might like it as is for NPC reasons. psst, you guys know you can always ask me if you want changes made to t...

I have adjusted it so it can use the "Wiki" group as well. The reason that I required someone to be in a group (at all) is that I wanted to be sure that people were players and not random people. In other words, new members need to know a staff member who can change group memberships in order to joi...

Just went from 0.8.2 to 0.8.3 - please let me know if anything isn't working. The big updates are changes to the way the connection status icon works, and the change to the connection itself. Now, instead of silently dying if it can't talk to the server, the client will attempt to reconnect when it ...

If you have ideas for themes, let me know - I'll look at what I can do to get them in place

Some of you may have noticed strange chat messages over the last few days... This is completely normal. Instead of changing everyone to whatever my whims demand, I've decided that you should all have access to "Themes" which will allow you to change the chatroom to match some preset whims. Look at t...
