bds is creating a database dump of the old site, and it will be posted onto here (using some very large sledge hammers and nailguns).

grr Suj.. you posted some seconds b4 me..=\

me too somehow, but this forum is more faster then the old one. You'll get use to it.

Any speed change is most likely due to fast BarrysWorld servers or the fact that there's not so much in the database yet!

i haven't seen any sort of search option or anything, though i haven't really been looking. is there any place to run a search through the forums?

site > search
http://www.esreality.com/index.php?action=search

Maybe I should scrap that nav box and think up something better.

NO! the nav box is l33t!

Took me AGES to figure out how to use the navbox :p but now that I do, it's fine.

How about having 'search' as a top level menu item like site, text, media, games? I think its button should always be visible on every page; would certainly reduce people asking questions that can be found with a simple little search.

You could just put a search box in the area with the filter boxes.

You should put a big arrow pointing to the nav bar saying 'if you can't find something, it's over here'

FYI I've got the database dump now - 90,000 forum posts alone. The complete dump is almost 100MB. I've figured out how to get it to fit onto this site, but with only php access I can't think up any smart ways to import all the data!

I think I may just have to find someone with console access on the server to do a mysqlimport on the data.

Wondering, do you still have the database? Or can someone else answer? I just had to dig up this old thread. :>

P.S. I've been looking at old XSReality/ESports-Addicts/XSReality/ESReality posts. They're hilarious. I'd like to help develop this site a little more and maybe put some FTP space up if anyone's interested.

frontend or backend development?
any particular features in mind?

front end? I haven't tried designing web layouts in a long time!! I would probably use some insane puke green and yellow if I were to do so.
actually, I'm old fashioned and if I make a page usually it's white/black with just text, so yeah.

features? uhm, maybe, I haven't really thought about that.

So you slightly changed your mind? Oh, how amazing.

An anchor would be nice. I'm not going to waste my time reading through a thread just for you.

If you're referring to this comment, then I guess you miss the point of my comments.

Ah, so you're still using FireFox? How come? I thought you're back on IE again ..... anyway with IE my link works:

http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=544555 works the same as
yours: http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&page=2&id=542106#544555

when using IE (and I thought you do).

Uhm btw: All links that show up at the recent posts list on the user profiles are made the same way I did. Funny, isn't it?

Ok so I missed the point of your comment, yes? (funny, never had the idea that your posts have another point than random trolling) ..... could you enlighten me, please?

I haven't used IE in some time.

"All links that show up at the recent posts list on the user profiles are made the same way I did. Funny, isn't it?"

No, not really. The links aren't anchored, so they don't work properly? This doesn't work in Opera either:

window.location.hash='#544555';

I think the site should basically eliminate javacript. (all sites, in fact)

"Ok so I missed the point of your comment, yes? (funny, never had the idea that your posts have another point than random trolling) ..... could you enlighten me, please?"

I don't think even Edison could enlighten you.
