Default Updates Done!

All data from the old GameApex.com forums have been imported into the main ForumApex database. ALSO, there are MANY new cool features for you guys to check out while I get everything back in it's place. The forum and gallery should be operational now. I will be spending this weekend ironing out any kinks from the script upgrades and applying the old look we are used to for forum posts.

Talk about a hectic week! The reason the updates took so long is because I ran into numerous crashed database tables that needed to be repaired. After that was settled I then had to manually associate all users at GameApex.com who ever posted in the forum with the same user here at the new ForumApex setup. It was ALOT of work. My wife freakin' rocks for putting up with my stressing out while the forums were locked down. She also put up with me spending pretty much all my spare time this week while I worked on getting everything fixed.

I'm glad it's back up!
I can't even imagine how big those data bases are, 140,000 something threads, close to 700,000 post and almost 16000 members.....

Good job Gary!

Linking problems

Example: I clicked on thread labeled "Today is a good day", last post by Slay. Took me to a gaming server thread.

Maybe it's my browser (or something you just haven't gotten to yet), but a couple of threads take me to a page with nothing on it but a Quick Reply box...

Also, the iTrader function/feature is currently down... I have a Trading Post transaction with post_break that needs to be closed out/rep given...

and yes, I was having withdrawals as well...

I have a suggestion. The forums such as "Anything goes" and the trading section are at the very bottom. Maybe Im alone when I say this but any chance of a "go to the bottom link" or maybe move them up above the game apex stuff? Glad that its back online though, sucked cause I couldnt talk to GN about a trade going down.

I just saw that Lokie is a supreme badass of the universe with his awesome gold stars. I don't know if he is supposed to have both the gold stars and the regular rep squares or what?

Still kinda silly cool.

Yeah I noticed the Rep icons had changed and I found out the new max is a whooping 500,000. Couple of new comments too, like the badass one.

the other one is in the Motherboards/cpu's a thread made by Ranger1033 tilte Blue Screen Issues i remember posting/asking him if the error on both computers were the exact same , he's anser to my question also disappear

now i dont know if there is anything more missing so far that all i can see/remember

one last thing before the update i had 3 blue square of rep now i'm down to 2 so must be another mistake/error from the update since i never post/anser sometime that would make me loose one

so i'm asking you GlitterKill what happen?
can you fix all that or at least my blue square?
as for my last post from my thread that i can always posted back

Thx!


I will move this post to the PC Apex Bugs & Worklog 2008 thread. This thread was to update the members of what had went down for the update proccess. Unfortunatly some posts were lost, and I don't know if they can be recover'd from the merge of the two forums.
