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

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

@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.

@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.

@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.

$20/mo

@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?

prastle

@Captain-Crunch you can remove it from showing in your profile settings i believe if i recall correctly

Captain Crunch

@prastle hmmm ok I never checked the show email box anyways and I looked and theres a symbol next to my email address that says its hidden so all good! I just don't want spam emails hehe

Thanks!

Captain Crunch

@Captain-Crunch hey Hepps messaged me and said he can see my email ... but he said maybe its because he's admin ... I have never checked the box to show my email and its still not checked so is my email not showing to the public I hope or I guess I haveto logoff so people don't see my email?

prastle

@Captain-Crunch guests cannot see your email. Ask a fellow user if your email is visible? Admins can see your email. Actually a simpler test would be can you see my email? Since i have the same settings.

Captain Crunch

@prastle ok no problem! I just noticed the pop-up info a few days ago

Hepps

Is anyone else having an "internal error" when they try to access new posts through the notification function?
