Site Restoration/Forum Upgrade Reports

[havok666]

Done! Thanks to InternalPrimate for the help with this.

Looking good. Thanks for all your hard work.

Wow, new site looks cool. Only thing I've noticed is I can't seem to update my profile pic in the word press control panel. Whenever I try to upload one in there it just doesn't do it. I tried in both Firefox and IE and it's a no go with both.

You need to create a Gravatar account and upload it there. Then, it will appear next to all your comments.

In the old version we could search games by genre, publisher etc. Will that be brought back?

[Melf]

Eventually, I hope. As I learn more about things, I'll keep bringing back more functionality.

Censor bars on the forums? Can these be personally disabled, like the reverse of the 'ignore' function? I'm aware it only requires mousing over them to see what's beneath, but censorship's tackier than anything you wouldn't simply remove from your site.

edit = Also, I'm getting logged out a ton. Eg twice since I posted the top of this message.
Thanks/Sorry.

They've only been used for spoilers (like in the Star Odyssey thread). Why disable them?

Good job with the site restoration, everything looks very nice. Glad to know that the option of sorting reviews by score, genre etc., will make a return. Should we expect (old style) reader scores to make a comeback too?

[Melf]

Reader scores are already activated, but you have to register with the site to use them (separate from your forum registration). Once they update the vbulletin/WP bridge, you'll be able to use your forum account to comment.

Sweeeet, looking good, welcome back!

[InternalPrimate]

There should be a way to add Google's +1 tag to the share section. I recently got an invite to google+ and I want to spread the sega-16 word!

[Melf]

Done!

[Genesis Knight]

Melf, is it planned to restore ALL old features and reviews or is some of the content not coming across?

[Melf]

It's all coming back, but it will take time, since I have to convert every article manually. We should be complete in a few weeks.

[eddiespruce]

I really like what you've done, Keep up the good work!
