Dawn Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) Good afternoon...hmmmmmm...what happened to my diary? It legit just disappeared in a puff of smoke. EDIT: Nevermind. It was randomly shunted to page 2 with the older posts now reappearing. Let's see if any new issues have arisen. EDITEDIT: IT'S ALL PERFECT! Thanks Arlie!

Arlie Rahn Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 OK, support just finished recovering all the missing posts. They did say that you may see a few duplicated posts. If so, you can delete one. I've checked 2-3 dynasty ones that didn't come over and they look good now. At this point, all of the support tasks have been completed so you guys should have full reign to post and edit without worrying about future posts coming over. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked my diary and saw that all the other pages have just appeared and converted (the pictures on the pages from 7 and earlier with visuals didn't convert, but I can edit them manually), so I got one thing to say about that - YEEEEE-HAW! 😃 🏆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalton Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) Did not expect the old posts to convert correctly. Almost all of mine have, the only ones that didn't are ones I didn't exactly expect to. Thank you for working so hard on this Arlie.

Uncrewed Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Just checked my dynasty and everything is there, don’t even have to convert anything either. Thanks Arlie! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falling_star Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Just wanted to thank Arlie and the support team for all their work... I'm normally not a complainer, but even I have wanted to complain about this process so I can only imagine everything they've had to put up with along the way. I did notice that in my GAMMA dynasty thread, and the EXWrestling mod hype thread, that it duplicated the initial post. I'm not sure if this has happened to everyone or not, but seems like an odd quirk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlie Rahn Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Yeah, that was the one negative is some early posts got duplicated. Basically, we were able to recover the entire thread but we had the initial post from the first load. The most efficient way was to just append it to that post. If you see that, just delete the one that isn't as converted. We were also able to convert a lot of them. So, hopefully the forum is close to where we left the old server. I will be keeping the old server up for another couple weeks - but my plan is to shut it down later in September. So, if you guys need something, make sure to grab it soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanegan Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Thanks Arlie. Almost all the posts from my two diaries have been recovered and just needs some manual editing to make it look perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamchatka Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) Found an issue: The drag and drop image function heavily degrades image quality - but using an image link does not. So while drag and drop is useful for quick stuff and jokes, you may need to get up some warnings to people using the site to share images for use in games. Otherwise people are going to be downloading degraded images and then uploading thme again later to share and further degrading and repeat. Made a post here showing the issue: Edited August 30, 2022 by Kamchatka 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falling_star Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 My forum avatar is pretty degraded from what was uploaded as well... I'm guessing Invision runs some kind of compression on images? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arlie Rahn Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 OK, I found an option that was set to 80-90% compression on JPG files. I just upped it to 100% - so see if it now works better 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamchatka Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 Posted in other thread but replying here too for visibility, issue is confirmed to be fixed. JPGs now upload at 100% quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flaviooooo Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I seem to be missing my old diaries (in the Total Extreme Wrestling 2007-2013 Dynasties forum)? For example: http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=523798 Strangely I believe I saw them here before, with the garbled HTML Did anything change or am I doing it wrong?

Pipers Pit Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 On the old forums I used to be able to post you tube videos with an embed code like this: <iframe width="400" height="200" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Y-AvZz9DQ00" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> That doesn't seem to work anymore. Does anyone know how to do it on these new forums? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pipers Pit Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Okay I got it working after clicking source and then unlicking it but the video itself is huge. I altered the height and width but it won't shrink. Any idea what I need to do or are YT vids just gonna be that big on these new boards?

shawn michaels Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Perhaps not putting the links of new patches in blue? They become barely visible when dark mode is being used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
