    Hello people,
    I just updated our forum software to the latest available version, phpBB 3.0.5; but since we have many mods installed, some pages might have been corrupted. If you happen to find any error on any page, broken links and such, please report them to me or Zer0, or simply post here. We'll do the best to fix any eventual error asap.

    On a side note, the Giveaway system has been shifted, it's now available in the User Control Panel. This has been changed because of a security issue, since Giveaway-enabled users were able to view the Mod Control Panel. It's been fixed now, anyway :)

    I'll work on some other fixes and improvements for the forum in the future days. I'll keep you all informed :D

    Bugs:
    • Topic titles not being submitted - fixed
    • iTrader - fixed
    • Profile appears corrupted - fixed
    • MCP issue - no idea
    • Logo size in prosilver - fixed
    • Download files corrupted - fixed

    - Will look into it
    - I have no idea why, I'll go test it a bit
    - Looking into it right now ;)
    - Fixed

    Evolving? :0

    That's another issue, it's not due to the forum upgrade. I'll start working on fixing mod bugs after the board is "stable".

    EDIT: I think I fixed the iTrader issue, and I also fixed a few bugs in the profile page. Now Cash will be displayed even if it's 0, and I fixed the error that made the profile page corrupt sometimes.

    EDIT2: Zer0, I looked into the truncate_string issue, but it seems related to how the code works. It's programmed to delete the string. I used a workaround to make the new version work, so if you decide to go have a look keep in mind the one at the top (commented) is the old one and the uncommented is the new version. I left a notice next to the part which is "broken".

    That also does not work for me...

    Is there any information about the new release? It seems like there's less 'boxes' for reputation :O

    Also, could you fix the rep opening up in a different window/tab?

    It isn't really a "bug"... It's supposed to do so in the new version. But if you prefer it to be open in the regular browsing window, I'll change it back.

    Also, I just completely fixed the rep system. Now usernames are shown on the rep list, and when giving a negative rep it will be correcly submitted.

    I think we need a bit more though. It seems strange to me that Level V+ users can't rep more than 5. :\ I think I should work on a mod to the rep mod ( XD ) and make it possible to choose how much to give of your reputation power. A bit like vB's system, which I do really like.

    that should be a really simple mod... Simply mod the rep giving page, and have a drop down box with how much rep and simply have the post data edited from what it was before o what they select... Ricky can do it with one arm tied behind his back (and maybe blind folded XD)
