As you probably noted, we've been doing some work on the site this week. We've upgraded the vB software, and have worked out most of the bugs. If you find any bugs, please post them in the Oops a Bug http://www.antionline.com/forumdispl...?s=&forumid=16 forum. And if there are still any bugs hanging around from the old board software, please let us know about those as well.
Thanks,
intmon
intmon: The football field sized banner on the main page sucks ass.
Thank you for reading.
The banner really sucks big time.
I agree. What was wrong with just having them on all the other pages?Quote:
intmon: The football sized banner on the main page sucks ass.
Its not like you can miss them... the one on the front just makes the site look like ****. Excuse my french.
MsMittens feels like being smartass...
It's not French. It's english. :DQuote:
source: Merriam-Webster OnLine
Main Entry: 1shit
Pronunciation: '****, interjectionally also 'shE-&t
Function: noun
Etymology: (assumed) Middle English, from Old English scite; akin to Old English -scItan to defecate
There is a reason why you are AO Queen MsMittens. :D
Thank you for removing that add! Or... is that just my add NIS2k3 add blocker?
It was still there when I left work an hour ago...
Is anyone else still getting it?
If your talking about the big ass ad on the main page, it's still there for me. :(Quote:

Oh... then it has to be norton internet security 2k3's add blocker doing its job. :D
I actually don't even pay any attention to the ads anymore(although the new one does kindof stick out). They really don't bother me. I just scroll straight down to all the topics and see if I can help anyone. I don't care how ugly the site is, I just care about the content. So as long as we're still allowed to ask and answer questions, and chit chat about security, I really don't care what is done to the site as long as it is not a security risk.
Also the most downloaded files in someones profile are empty when you download them, because i downloaded a file from allenb1963 yesterday and i needed it today and a blank ZIP file came. Also my signature picture and profile picture are dissapearding. When i visited today ( after the upgrade) it was there and an hour later it was gone.
edit: The "alter images" in the update Signature section of the site feature doesn't work. a "can not display page" error displays.
hey intmon , good you upgrade and work on bugs. That we like.
But, you now have two things that suck on the main page, first the logo , than this banner.
Whats the next step ? A 5 minutes-long-forced-to-watch-add-intro ?
Oh well,
Intmon, I have to say that the site is faster and that the search function is more accurate. Thx. Two things many members of the community where asking for.
Also i think the Antipoints given out are messed up because a posts status was "very negative" for no reason and i tried to give him some greenies and after i gave him some it said "negative" but before the upgrade it would have went from "very negative" to "somewhat positive". Tx for listening to our suggestions and finds.:)
MemorY > That is not necessarily an upgrade-bug: remember that the number of antipoints you give out depends on a lot of factors: your amount of antipoints of course, your balance, and more important in your case, the forum in which you give your antipoints (Tutorials for example is worth more than GCC). Also, a couple of weeks/months ago, the AP-system was tuned. Generally, your antipoints are only worth half of what they used to be...
Thanks for all the replies and comments folks. Due to all the various hacks that were added to the system before we got the site, the vB upgrade was a tedious project. Before we launched the upgraded version we went through and fixed many of the bugs that were previously reported in the Oops a Bug forum, as well as many other bugs we found that were caused by the upgrade. I'm sure we'll continue to find 'em as we move forward. We are much more familiar with the system as a result of the upgrade, and changes won't take as long going forward, which is a great thing.
As for the ad on the home page, it is the typical sized ad you see on most commercial sites, and even so, it's the only ad on the page. My goal is to continue to make the site a better place for the community. Some things we can do, others we can't, but we certainly appreciate all of your thoughts, suggestions and constructive criticisms.
Thanks,
intmon
well, I for one appreciate the work you (and mnstrgrl and any others) have done intmon.
might I suggest a few things ?
1. give us a list of things that were fixed.. if it's not too much trouble.
2. go through the oops a bug threads and close all the ones resolved. (when time permits)
3. at some point , archive all the old bugs threads or delete them.
questions.. are we to assume that the newsgroups aren't coming back ?
no great loss but it was something that a few of us kept their eyes on.
I also notice that the little java games.. hangman, battleship.. etc are gone..
Are they also a thing of the past, never to return ? (battleship was pretty neat for the totally bored.. hehe..)
Jut wanted to thow u a great job on the site post. runs much better after the upfdate.
jenjen: try google forthe news groups they have a great archive.
yes.. bballad.. I know I can always search /view newsgroups in google.. but JP had picked ones especially "tuned" to the hacker community and it was convienent to have them "onboard"
note : (partial retraction) it seems that the tools and toys (my battleship game) are NOT gone, it's just that I can't seem to find the link to it from the main page..
http://www.antionline.com/tools-and-toys/
"hey.. you sunk my battleship"... hehe..
Thanks for the kind words folks!
As far as the newsgroups, we may at some point get a news server, but for now we don't have one available. About the Toys and Tools, the whois needed some serious work, as did the IP locator. Once we get caught up with all the bugs from the upgrade (and we're getting there!), we'll take another look at getting those two tools up to par.
Thanks for the other suggestions--those about the Ooops a Bug forum sound like good ones!

I am going to have to say as a whole the place looks a bit better, though it does look wierd when you look at the bottom of the Forums page and don't see the Security News. But that won't take long to get used to.
Now I have sat back and heard people bitching to Intmon about the Ad on the front page and I thought about it for a sec.
To be honest I don't really think that is in her/his hands. This site belongs to a Company I have a feeling that they are the ones that decided to have the add put on there, and they are the ones that had the Enterprises It Added to the logo. I understand people want someone to complain to. But I don't really think any of the complaints to her/him will do anything besides get routed up to her/his boss.
Just a thought.
Oh well. The place is looking better. Though, I have only seen the ads on the site once, when I was on a friends Computer, I have my own computer set to block them all. So I don't see them.
Oh well. Once I guess is enough for me.
I hope it is not too late to post in this thread but...
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE UPGRADE.
I noticed that a lot of bux got fixed.
Still a couple of glitches.
The member 'Striek' had no 'title' below his avatar, this has been fixed. Perhaps now Juridian can get rid of his 'eternal newbie' status.
Another glitch is that the 'most downloaded files attached by user' still does not show the 'Most downloaded' but the 'Latest attached' attachments.
Yet another, The pumpkin smile and the pacman smilie still dont work.
But like I said, congratulations on the upgrade, it looks like even that printthread bug was fixed ;)
edit.
One last thing: The Humonguous Signature Image Bug.
You all complain about pop ups and adds, go and get a add killer, thay work good.
Oh and would some one fix that dam SpellCheck, it is ****ed.
