Quick news and announcements.
-
4th Elements Council has started their work. During the next 3 months, the Council will start and finish numerous different projects that will improve the forum experience for everyone.
If you have ideas on how to improve the forums, please post it on the Forum Suggestions and Feedback (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/board,7.0.html) section. The Council will choose the best ideas and make them a reality. Thanks.
-
There was some unexpected downtime due to a server issue. It should be fixed now. Sorry for the inconvenience.
-
Bad things happen when I'm asleep. There was a database error that made forums unusable. It has been fixed now. Sorry for the inconvenience.
-
The Deck Image Builder has been re-implemented, courtesy of Planplan. It should work the same way as the one on the old forum, except with new and updated images from 1.30. I also removed the author attribute from the image.
-
A forum glossary has been installed. You can see the glossary here (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?action=glossary). Full Members and above have the ability to suggest words to go in the glossary.
-
Our hosting provider will be carrying out some network maintenance this Thursday, June 28th from 11pm EST to 1am EST (GMT-5). You may experience intermittent connectivity issues during this time.
-
Our hosting account was suspended due to high CPU usage. We got the suspension lifted, but were forced to disable Chat. I have implemented a temporary IRC solution. We apologize for the inconvenience.
-
We recently moved to a new and dedicated server, and some posts/threads were lost (though they weren't supposed to). Feel free to remake them while we look for a way to recover some specific posts.
-
We'll be performing server maintenance for multiple hours somewhere between 11 AM and 5 PM GMT tomorrow. While this is being done the forum will be in read-only mode. We apologise for the inconvenience.
-
More maintenance coming up right now. Forums will be unavailable, but Chat will be up in the form of an IRC channel created by me on irc.ext3.net, another network I'm Oper on.
-
New chat is up! See here (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,38326) for more info.
-
Due to recent trends, the forum rule regarding ways to play Elements without ads has been written out for clarification in The Rules (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?action=rules).
-
A new child board for Farming Studies and statistics has been made under General Discussion: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/board,581.0.html
Be sure to read the sticky before you create any threads or they will be at risk of deletion on sight!
-
BeefSupreme has been made a Moderator of the Elements Radio board (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/board,85.0.html) as he's joined forces with Tiko on the project of creating an Elements radio show.
-
Scheduled forum downtime to improve performance at 3-6 GMT. Will likely be done in 1-2 hours.
-
The old Blab chat is back up! Our IRC channel will remain, but unmoderated as we can't afford to divide our main chat. See here for info about Blab: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,29088
-
I'm back after unexpected net loss and returning from China. Will be resuming activity tomorrow.
-
As a step towards involving the community in forum decisions, I've started a topic for everyone to express their concerns in: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/elements-council/elements-council-general-discussion-and-feedback/
I have had a discussion with the Staff regarding what they think of the Council selection process. After organizing opinions, I can now gather more feedback from the entire community.
