OMG this forum is a nightmare, everything is backwards or confusing... lol, I'm too old for this...

FWIW, here are our choices for 'themes'

I think we have teh best one selected.

Skins there are more options, but less radical differences:

Well, beyond everything, I am learning the new interface too.

[redrum]

@LaFayette You can also set your own skin preference instead of whatever we set as the default.

[prastle]

@LaFayette skins are set here https://forums.triplea-game.org/user/prastle/settings
obviously not prastle i like the darkly think roi uses another one but to each their own

[Hepps]

@prastle OMFG!!! That is so much better! Changing it from the really dark setting to a gray one makes all the difference in the world.

Thank you for discussing this.

[prastle]

sigh @Hepps ya workk in progress guess we need more notes but it will get there yes everyone can set their own skin etc and ignore and thread they want to watch etc

[prastle]

@Hepps also they can chose who to follow their posts not that ima follower but love reading yours

[Captain Crunch]

I set my browser so all the webpages are the same darker grey color cuz I hate white screens sooo much but anyways no complaints here and just following the forum game AI thread and the interesting maps and mods threads

[Hepps]

@prastle Wow I just found the setting where you can have the threads displayed by pages like the old forum!!!!

Such an improvement over the wildly sporadic infinite page layout.

Liking this forum more and more by the day.

[Hepps]

@Hepps Had some one ask... so here is where you find it.

It is such a little innocuous button.... but brings such great pleasure.

I hope that everybody can eventually get used to it. Axis and Allies .org will also be moving to NodeBB (the software for this forum).

A few big advantages:

• Mobile ready (try visiting this site on your phone, it works great!)
• Email replies (when turned on, you can reply to updates to a thread via email and it just works)
• Maintainability, the source code is clean which makes plugins and managing the site much easier

[prastle]

@djensen47 I am undecided how to react to this. It saddens me with the thought that after all the growing pains TripleA has gone through our members play pbf and pbem there.

[redrum]

@prastle @RoiEX This does remind me of a question I had. Do you know if there is a total space limit for attachments and if so what it is? This is a problem that we've run into on Axis and Allies .org that the server has run out of space due to PBF game attachments several times which is really annoying as it then is an empty save game.

[prastle]

@redrum the file upload sizes are located here
https://forums.triplea-game.org/admin/settings/uploads
=2056 KiB also the allowed file types is listed there as well

[redrum]

@prastle I meant is there any max total memory limit not limit on each individual upload. I don't see anything in the settings which I assume means there isn't. In other words, could we have a million file uploads on the forums without any issues?

[prastle]

@redrum correct until we run out of server memory which i would have to check with roi. Also server memory is cheap to add.

[prastle]

@redrum I forget atm what it was when bung told me years a go. @RoiEX would know or @LaFayette

[redrum]

@prastle Yeah, that is what I'm getting at as Axis and Allies .org kept running out of memory every few months which caused issues with uploaded save games. So its something that we'll need to keep an eye on and would be good to have some kind of warning set when we hit say 90% of the server memory usage.

[prastle]

@redrum just checked we are some where above this
$20/mo
($.03/hr)

4 GB RAM
2 CPU Cores
48 GB SSD Storage
3 TB Transfer
40 Gbps Network In
1000 Mbps Network Out
on each server warclub is on other this forum is on nj

[prastle]

@redrum all of sourceforge only 1.1 gb we should be fine for a long time

[Captain Crunch]

@prastle hey do you know ... do I haveto log out so people don't see my email when I'm logged on ... I don't want my email showing all the time.

I place the mouse over my name and my name and forum info pops up and it shows my email and wonder if I haveto log off so people don't see my email. Can I remove my email showing from my info when you click on a persons name or I haveto log off?
