Hey guys!
This morning for whatever reason, the site went down without warning. I'm not exactly certain what happened here as none of the admins have made changes. We suspect it was related to something with our host.
In any case, I was able to bring things back online, but modifications were unfortunately sacrificed in the process.
I'd like to keep the feature mods to a minimum, and so I'd like to ask the community which ones I should be bringing back. If there's any feature that was there before that you are missing, post it here!
Thanks,
Bring back cake.
Seriously, didn't there used to be a youtube or video selection for posts?

Right now, all add-ons are removed as the site had to be rebuilt. Please make a list of add-ons / features that you wish to have so we can manually re-add them.
Bring back whatever user filters we were using. I just rejected 36 new registrations all from this afternoon. Normally I only do a handful most days.
9 more assholes in an hour and 15 minutes...
And another 8 or 10 in an hour 20.
6 more. I give up. Please fix it...
*hugs PopeyesPappy* Sorry dear. I remember how it feels when dealing with that stuff.
reCAPTCHA for dealing with bots.
34 more this morning
My bookmark doesn't direct so I had to make new one. Also the YouTube thing doesn't work so it was an add on wasn't it?

Sorry bud, I've added the filter back.
There's an issue with redirects at the moment. I will be correcting that shortly
UPDATE: URL's are fixed

I'd 'like' Munch, here, but can't. So, let me echo his 'good job'!!
I really enjoyed the 'like" feature since you could silently show agreement with someone. So please bring that back if it's not too much trouble.
Also, avatar uploads seem to be broken. I'm using "specify by URL" for the moment.
I second the avatar issue. I was trying to reload mine from desktop
Likes have been re-enabled. Will work on more soon.
72 more assholes bite the dust. Hopefully, that's the last of them...

It's not working. 20 new ones in the last couple of hours.
Can't get a secure connection to the site now. Using the HTTPS address loads an incomplete page, and clicking any link brings you to the unsecured version.
The feature that shrinks down super large images. Cause otherwise, image-heavy threads practically annihilate memory. :'(

OK, NOW it should be working lol
Forgot to renew my subscription
Not sure if this is the place to mention it, but I can't see my avatar.
So I decided to upload a new one. First few times I couldn't upload it. Went with a link, which might've worked, but I still can't see it.
Just me or can nobody see mine?

Your revised avatar is a very fastidious bug.
My avatar is still down, will try uploading old one when I get home later today. Traveling.
Auto image resizing would be nice. A lot of the existing images on the site are now bigger than my laptop screen.
Loki damn it!
An Error Has Occurred!
The attachments upload directory is not writable. Your attachment or avatar cannot be saved.

Yeah, you can upload some through url

Got it. Most likely a permission issue.
I’ll look into it later today
I haven't seen any new member requests since 6ish this morning. So unless someone else went in and cleaned them up since then it looks like the filter is working now.

Avatar directory should be fixed.

Good, we're running low on unobtainium.
Old avatar restored, but I decided to put up a new one for the new year.
Plan on replacing my Aztec byline with one in Navajo, shortly.
Like the Navajo code talkers, we probably won't understand a word.
Huzzah! I'm back! Perfect nanite goddess Emeralda lives!
Couldn't find old avatar, so I found a new one. Time to change anyway, I guess.

I'm sure they understood a lot of words.
Well, I meant the bad guys didn't understand a word of their code. LOL

Japanese so smart, they attack much more powerful country ... not! Like master-race Germans, can't conceive that the Allies might read their codes ;-)
