    Default Forum upgrade

    All, I apologize for the abrupt shutdown this morning, I just needed to get the upgrade out of the way so we could move ahead with some other advancements.

    The upgrade was pretty minor. Mostly security and infrastructure software changes, I doubt most of you will see anything interesting come out of it.

    Please let me know immediately if someone finds something broken.


    What once was can never be again,
    What is now will never come anew,
    What will be will only pass once.
    Cherish it all.

    One thing I've just noticed, it appears the upgrade changed the forum's cookies a bit and you may notice that you need to login every time you come to the forums. Just clear your cookies for the clanaod website and the problem should correct itself.

    I don't see anything in my cookie list that says "aod" on it. What would it be listed under?

    The cookie domain is .clanaod.net

    In firefox and chrome you can usually just filter your cookies by using "clanaod" and removing what comes up. Not 100% sure about IE

    Well, I like that the forum jump buttons are bigger now.

    An upgrade is an upgrade so that's good! They're always welcome.

    This may be a bit off-topic, but what happened to forum achievements?

    They were disabled as we're investigating a few other plugins. They may come back, that has yet to be decided.

    So, I don't know if it's just me or what, but the "Forum Threads" and "New Forum Posts" boxes on the right of the main forum page don't seem to update as much anymore. It only seems to update for the General Chat section now.

    Haha... you are both correct. They were showing the text of posts in staff forums so for now I've limited them to the general chat areas. I'm trying to find away to make it permissions aware.

    Sounds good. It's just odd to me, and makes it look like nothing ever happens on the forums. :P

    Interesting... I wonder if the thread searching feature has the same issue
