Major forum software change... - Page 2

ewmayer · 2006-08-17, 16:03

I'm still puzzled about the new "Report Infarction" feature available to the mods. While it is certainly a nice feature to be able to automatically call the EMT services of some user's locality if he happens to be having a cardiac event while online, I don't see how someone else would know of it outside of a live-chat setting, and even in the latter instance, why just moderators would have that capability. Perhaps these kinds of advanced emergency features are geared to the ever-increasing number of folks who spend all their time in online venues and never leave their rooms and thus are running a bit ahead of Joe User's setup - once everyone is continuously monitored via video capture from their PC I'm sure this sort of thing will be more useful.

The whole online-heart-attack issue reminds me of a scene from a famous movie:

"Well, he wouldn't have bother to *write*, 'Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhh'..."

I'm not sure if it's related to the software change, but I have noticed recently that I cannot update my existing avatar, and after removing previous one I can't even upload it once again

I am receiving an error message (see attached).

We are aware of this, and haven't found a solution yet.

Instead of buying the calculator at the bottom of the screen, I suggest buying a Pocket PC.It can do all and more, the calcualtor can do.

This bug should be fixed now. As usual, the error was entirely ours and embarrassingly simple.

Let us guess... the upload dir's chmod wasn't correct? :D
