Flitterkill September 29, 2012 Share Flitterkill GC Board Member September 29, 2012 Substantial jump in version number: 3.2.3 to 3.3.4. Just in time for IPB 4.0 to start hitting beta. Still, best to let things settle in bug-wise before making the jump - especially since I hack at our underlying skin; a big pain otherwise for point-revision upgrades. I'll save the big list of new/improved stuff for that post. This is just a heads up that I'll lock the forums down while this is shaking out. You'll get the usual forums closed message, etc. Probably start some vague time after Noon Eastern. Probably finish some vague time afterwards. New backgrounds, faster performance, etc. again, I'll save it for later. Once this gets pushed out, the backlog really starts to get hammered down (if that is what one does to backlogs...). Membership drive, FragFest date, membership cull and dues catch-up, second L4D2 server?, Minecraft back in shape, tee-shirts (good lord...) and so on... A tease? Sure... I did make the view new content and background switcher just a touch more obvious... And we finally have hover popups *and* links connecting your xbox live and steam profiles... I also made the "you are online in the forums" green bar dithered. Sooooo..... BAM! Also we're going bigger with avatars. Other stuff? Nothing earth-shattering but a few new features, tweaks and mods. Oh, and if you want to gift memberships to other people you'll be able to gift them GC store credit, then they can buy the membership themselves. No need for any staff to get involved. That's a good thing. EDIT: Oh yeah, you notice that the game servers and voice server graphics next to the server monitors on the board index were missing this last week? Yeah, that was me. I actually had those image files linked to my sandboxed forum testbed. Instead of pushing them out into our production forums. And since we're done with 3.2.3, I don't really need that sandbox anymore. So I nuked it. making those images disappear. Sorry bout that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooDooPC September 29, 2012 Share VooDooPC Member September 29, 2012 Do you have the resolution of the bigger avatars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flitterkill September 29, 2012 Author Share Flitterkill GC Board Member September 29, 2012 120px width. Don't think it is limited vertical (though the Avatar Executioner would show up and "deal" if someone thought 120x700 was a good idea.) What you see in that screen clip above is what you get. You can upload a larger image in your profile if you want - it will get scaled down. Also you can crop it when you upload it to your profile. ADDENDUM: The tequila in my system has just reminded me what the avatar sizes were back in the mid-2000's. So tiny... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggs September 29, 2012 Share Biggs GC Alumni September 29, 2012 I don't know this Flitterkill_SB fella, but I wish he'd post on the forums more often... This all looks good Flitter, exciting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flitterkill September 29, 2012 Author Share Flitterkill GC Board Member September 29, 2012 Yeah, those were disabled a looong time ago. Perhaps re-enabled? Perhaps with strict height limit? Will consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
