Great to see that it fixed it for you. Today the forums kind of broke, I spent the last 32 hours non stop fixing the fdatabase and think I have finally solved the issue once and for all. BEtween yofrekes work on Dimension #30 this past week and my texturing, post writing, thread re-writing it has been really exausting this week.
so....much....work....going on....for....me..and....yofreke and ...everyone...must...sleep...no...time.....dont...blink...dont even blink....must finish posts and dimension #30
Major Forum Update Changelog & Downtime Explanation - 3/6/13
So, it has come to that time again where I decide to inject new life into the iKingsSGC™ Forums for many reasons.
Many of you may have noticed that the iKingsSGC Forums have been offline for the last few days and you will have seen the normal site replaced with the amazingly fantastic and infuriating for the visitor Maintenance Page.
This round of updates was brought around by the fact that our web-host decided to screw me and limit my resources or just install something that totally wrecked our mysql database connections. That is the reason most of you would get the "an unexpected error has occured" pop up on you.
I decided that I would change web-hosts today since our service period was expiring on the 6th of March anyways and I did not feel like pouring more money into a host that couldn't house us properly. So I decided to run and find a new webhost that could suit our needs for a price that I can afford because as you may know most of the webhosting funds comes out of my pocket most months. (If you would like to donate, please click the link below )
So Without any more delay lets just get to this post and show you all the things I have changed or added into this update
Below is the list of Fixes, Upgrades and Additions:
Changed Basic Board Information and Forum Description
My favorite change out of all of this has to be the new thread title template I wrote. It pretty much needs to be seen for the full effect
The Forum index now has been changed to a dual column board. I believe this is a cleaner and more organized way to manage the Forum index (you can see that at http://ikingssgc.com/forums/index.php?forum/)
New Account Logging system to prevent forum spam. By default IP addresses are logged to a single account to prevent spam accounts, this means that only 1 IP address can have an account on the iKingsSGC Forums, if you have a valid reason why you need another account please Click Here to Contact US and tell us about why you need another account. An example would be if your brother or sister wants their own account.
Added new Post Ratings system that will increase the level of interaction a user will have with another user with a wide range of creative and fun ways to remark on a post. Each rating you give or receive will send a alert to the user who has recieved a rating. Options have the standard "like" button, but so many more options that I think will reward users for giving and receiving ratings. Your ratings received will be located on your profile page. (your existing likes you received before the new post rating system will be converted to the new system)
Updated Tag System to new version - Tag users in posts by typing their name with an @ Symbol in front. EX: @TheiKing
Advanced Forum Rule system. This addon will require users to accept the forum rules before they can view forums or threads, create threads and post replies. There is a time delay that ensures the user has to read at least some of the rules before accepting them and acknowledging they agree with all rules listed and will obey them or suffer the consequences of their actions.
New Board Notice Description - iKingsSGC & The Mod Division - Providing top notch servers and mods based on the ultimate fandoms of Stargate, Harry Potter and Doctor Who in Minecraft.
Expanded Donor Lounge features are currently in discussion, leave you suggestions below
Added a Maintenance Page system. When TheiKing needs to perform upgrades or maintenance on the website a toggle-able replacement webpage takes the place of the iKingsSGC Forums until the website maintenance is done. The page will reload every 20 seconds and check if the maintenance has been completed. This maintenance page features updated iKingsSGC Graphics and clickable icons leading to important off-site iKingsSGC Resources and a donation button. You can check out the Maintenance Page at any time here http://ikingssgc.com/maintenance/unavailable.htm
So many more things changed and so many more things to come!
Oh Did I also happen to mention the new iKingsSGC Forums Logo
So yes, thats it really, Let me know what you guys think about the new features.
Also let me know if you experience any bugs, issues, faults or anything you need help with!
wit official i meant work that gets you money i know it wasent too clear
Lol, I cant leave my house because of my ankle. I have no way of getting money. I burned through the last of my high school graduation money to change webhosts yesterday.
[12:32:15 AM] TheiKing: trying to come up with a name for that weekly series of Q/A
[12:32:25 AM] TheiKing: I keep coming back to "Weekend at Bernies"
[12:32:32 AM] TheiKing: ive never even seen the movie
Is this still being worked on? it seems that you all just dropped it.
It would seem that you do not know how to read, how on Earth do you get the impression it is not being worked on lol.
Right above your post I explained why I have not done a Daily Report in the last week or so due to the webhosting issues and forum upgrades.
Hell I post repeatedly every now and then letting everyone know what Im working on atm.
Most of our discussion happens on the iKingsSGC Forums, not here on the MCF, I suggest you go there since it is updated with smaller news.
The last 2 weeks have been jam packed with work on PLanet #30 (name not revealed yet) and our planets are so indepth they are worthy of their own mods.
Please, try to keep up with our progress on our official community
Ok, tommorro is a very busy day for me. Textures and Structure planning for 3 new planets/time zones. Ancient Greece, Ploon, Laxiforichatac.....I think between the work I have to do tommorrow and the work ive been doing today Im going to have enough content for 5 whole planets come monday morning
For some reason, whenever I go on the forums, it says This Account Has Been Suspended
What happened?
Hmmm, this is strange. We migrated our hosting to a new web host a few days ago and let our service on the old webhost expire. That would explain the suspended thing however it does not explain why you are getting directed there rather than to the new server. The DNS should have fully propogated by now.
Do me a favor and clear your broweser cache, cookies, history. That SHOULD hopefully fix the issue for you.
If it does not, please try (if you are on windows) click the start menu, type run, type cmd, now type ipconfig /flushdns
PLease let me know if this fixes the issue for you
It works now! Thank you!
