Yeah its a good idea for now Shurijo.

Here is an announcement. Language!

Please make sure you sue British English for your language. The American English isn't really supported and has already caused an issue. We may remove the American, but you should make sure you are set to British. (The default code base of the site). I just had it in the UCP but now I can't find it :) Of course.

I fixed it, by removing the other languages. No languages for you!

I didn't understand how languages worked until we had that problem. It's cool that it works that way, but I don't think we want to type everything in the database multiple times for multiple languages, because there's no real difference in British English and USA English other than a few extra vowels :)

Okay. I feel kind of silly askin but does anyone know what all the various topic icons mean? Red *, scrolling paper, etc? This is in the At Work theme.

Here's the forum icons for the "at work" theme. The "At work" theme is one of the default/original themes for the software, so all future themes will have icons that mostly look like this:

In general, the
* means "my topic" (a topic you posted)
lock is locked topic/forum
scrolling text is "hot topic"
" ! " is sticky
" i " is important announcement

Was it just me? Yesterday at night I could not access the forum because of the 522 error. Tried a lot, but just wasn't able to access it.

Wasn't just you. We had some server problems yesterday. I submitted lots of support tickets and emails and chatted with server team (at ISP). I think we're over those problems now, should be smooth sailing from this point forward.

Opening launch day jitters of course! I have to say the speed issues from yesterday are gone for me.

Thanks for the icon post, * and hot topic now make sense to me, and the sub forum. Thanks.

Or some type of chatroom thingy:)

Yes. There's somebody coding it right now, but it has a few bugs. We tested a beta version of it on these forums before we did the final move. It works pretty well, but there was a couple bugs that broke some other things. He's still working on it and updating it. It should be released soon, then we'll install it.

Here's the link to the current development status of that add-on
