Title: Smiley update & OmnomIRC fixed
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on December 03, 2010, 05:15:04 pm
I have recently started to re-add the emoticons that we had on the old Omnimaga forums since 2005 and I will add the other 60+ smileys soon, although they will not show up in the list by default, to prevent distorting the post page and slowing it down. Also it is now possible via your forum profile to disable smileys completly if you don't like them or if they slow down your Apple Macintosh II computer way too much. To do so, simply go to "Profile" then "Look and layout preferences". The option should be right below theme settings.

In addition to that, due to a server outage on Netham45 side, OmnomIRC remained unavailable for several hours and caused posting to take over one minute until we disabled the post notifier bot. It is now solved, except SpyBot45 is still offline, so IRC or OmnomIRC users will still need to use the new post list (http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=ezportal;sa=page;p=5) for a while.

Some forum settings were also changed to speed up avatar and smiley loading slightly.

I thought you knew we're all using TI-81s D:

I thought that was ticalc.org, although now they use TI-85s. :P

My favorite one was the one with the :gotosucks: quote, showing a smiley shooting with a chaingun on a Goto instruction. :D

Nope :(

The new smilies are great, though.

Nah it's not added yet. I just have the image in a folder along with 80 other smileys.

Sorry 'bout the downtime, my host rebooted it yesterday without any warning, while I was not at home. I didn't get the e-mail until I got to work this morning. :|

I see. Have you planned to maybe give access to Tribal or something in the future, so when you leave to family or in a trip for one week, someone else can reboot it for you? Just wondering since you left that long in the past.

I noted the new smilies, but who doesn't? They attract attention.

Start to give them good use. >:D

Indeed, and no spamming outside randomness with them, though. :P
