Upgraded software
 

I've upgraded the mediawiki version we run to the latest version as our old version was no longer being supported. Some extensions broke, most notably DyanamicArticleList but there are some workarounds I will work on. Additionally email is not working at the moment, I'm on it. Also, the old html style alignment tags eg. <center> <right> have been deprecated in favor of css style formatting. Zackmann08 and I will update the Templates all together to fix the infobox alignment.

If you run into any errors please post them.

Email is now working. (:

You changed your usergroup to APC? You should be an IFV, you get to have more guns that way. :D

We will?? :p jkjk. But yes, please let us know if and when you find errors.

Broken
*Dynamic Article List
*Multi Upload
*Back and Forth links at the top of each page

Holy crap I miss Multi Upload...

The conversion template isn't working, so any article that uses it for length and weights just has a blank space.

THANK YOU!!! That was my mistake... It has been corrected. Thank you VERY much for the heads up.

The main site no longer loads for me (though the forum does).

Is there any way to get the DISPLAYTITLE function working for pages like xXx and inFamous?

I will look into it.

I don't know if it's just me, but the two banners on Die Scheinheiligen aren't lining up. I looked in the code, and everything seemed okay. (I'd attach a screenshot, but the system is being VERY finicky about screenshots today.)

OK, so what I find is that I can access the site on Chrome or Safari, but NOT Firefox...

That's odd; I don't have a problem getting on using Firefox.

I think I fixed it, problem was the user was copy pasting the actual template code rather than using the {{unidentified}} template itself.

Wow, seriously? I didn't think to look because I didn't think anyone would actually try that.

For some reason I can't see the formatting buttons like I used to when it comes to editing pages . . .

We are working on solving the issue right now. Thanks for the heads up.

You're welcome. I can hover my mouse over the empty spaces right now and get a pop-up hint as to what the buttons do, and I'm surprised that old functions like italics and bold text are missing, as is the "insert signature" button. Are those coming later?

All the buttons are back now. We are experimenting with a new toolbar that has a lot more stuff on it and will be much more useful.

I can't access the site with Firefox either actually. Chrome works fine but not Firefox. I can access the forums with Firefox though

Not sure what your guys issue is. I've been using firefox all along. You should probably clear you cache.

I'm using FF,too, and haven't had any problems.

Same here, no problems with firefox (firefox 15.0 for Ubuntu).

I also use Firefox and everything is fine.

I've noticed that the "next" and "previous" pages in alphabetical order tags have disappeared from the top of the pages for some reason. Was that intentional?

I've also noticed that I can't see a upload multiple files page anymore. Is that also intentional?

If you look back at this thread (specifically this post) you will see that these 2 extensions are no longer compatible.

The right side of the Main page is replaced with "{{Dynamic}}". This is only my problem? Browser: Firefox 12.0.

Updated everything and it works now, so I guess I'm good.

In light of the dynamic article feature being disabled, can we bring the "quotes" and "did you know" features to the upper right?

I've enabled the display title feature but could not get it to work on the XXX page. You may want to try on a few other pages.

Hey! I fixed a Star Trek: Voyager template today. :p

That's a good idea, I would add a News section above it so we can post imfdb info when needed.

Are there plans to bring them back?

Okay, I just saw the Main Page. Arggh, I'm going to really miss multi upload.

Would it be possible to add a link to the rules to the sidebar? I think the only link right now is on the Main Page.

Yea, I'm still playing with getting them to work on the development server, it's just not guaranteed I'll be able to get them running. The new software renders pages in a fundamentally different way (which is part of the reason the site is faster) and this change broke a lot of old extensions which were simply never fixed. But, this doesn't mean they can't potentially be patched to work - it just involves a lot of troubleshooting and some coding.

I'm not really sure, but the screenshots I've been uploading recently don't seem to be as sharp as they used to be, despite them being from Blu-ray sources. Has the quality of display been degraded to make the pages load faster?

I noticed that, too, and I was going to ask you if there was a problem with your computer until I noticed that some other people's screenshots are also of surprisingly low quality.

I thought maybe it was the new VLC player, but I uploaded some screenshots I had taken before to the Apocalypse Now page and it just doesn't look as sharp as it used to.

I have an idea of what that might be. Try them again and see if it's better now.
