Added a few things and didn't want to do a new announcement.
Valve sub section has been added to Misc games.
Madden13 has been added as well.
Minecraft Xbox sub section has been added to MC section
Wii discussion opened for talk about WiiU
Books and suggested reading sub section added to GD
2 new V Bookies have been added MLB & Fusaah also Mudkip is now vBookie supervisor.
SU and Kaveman retired from Vbookie
Been working on suggestions section, we are down to about 10 now.
Thats it for now
As stated we will try and keep you updated on things here, so here is this weeks.
We upgraded the server this week and it caused an issue for the site because the CPU we wanted was not in Stock, We were down for 2 days doing a back up so we could run on our old CPU.
The new server has many benefits, including a lot of extra ram, disc space, and CPU cycles.
This will enable us to offer some added features for you all, which we are working on now.
As far a general site speed improvements, those will happen when the new CPU we ordered comes in.
Till then we may have similar lag issues we've had in the past, But it will be much better soon and there will not be any down time when it comes in and is hooked up.
We had a big list internally of things to fix this month.
We fixed Forum Help section , where the perms were all screwed up and many could not post or view. You guys are a major help in that section, answering peoples questions, as well as new members not being able to even ask for help.
CLM has taken over as Vbookie supervisor and has added Hou as a US Vbookie.
There will be many more events posted now, especially as we get into NFL season and the MLB playoffs :y:
We had http bug that was an issue with pages loading, that has been repaired.
The DOB issue for horny Elite members has been fixed, and stop PM'ing me that you were born in 1907
Xploder license keys bugs have been repaired and working fine now.
The SB detach glitch has been removed, we had too many banned members coming into the SB with no posts to create problems ( gonna miss some of you guys :p )
Have a couple more things to add tonight to this one, but wanted to get this out and keep you all updated.

Honestly, it does create confusion for new members when they first gain access to the shoutbox. Elites don't need bold, their name is a different color, that's standout enough.
Keep them bold, just make it so it's NOT bold in the shoutbox. That would be a solution.
If bold is removed, then more color options can be added.

Do you feel it creates too much confusion in the SB on who is staff?
Do we just get rid of Grey, Purple, and Red colors to avoid staff confusion?
Or is it not really a problem at all?
This is not a question of Elite vs others, They paid extra and deserve their perks.
This is just a question on whether that one issue is creating confusion for members, especially newer ones..

I don't think Elite should be able to pick colors at all, but that's just me. If they do have the colors, then I think they shouldn't be bold. It does create confusion. I've seen multiple times where an Elite member was posting screen snaps of a new member thinking they were staff or an admin. Staff having bold makes their names stand out more so they are more easily found and contacted. When you go into the shoutbox and there's 20 people in there with 7 different colors and they are all bold, staff do not stand out unless you've been here for a while and know the staff colors.

I don't see why it is a problem at all. There arnt New staff everyday. It is not hard to remember who is staff or not. Unless you are colorblind I do not see an issue. You guys already took away the best color. Don't take away more.

New memebers don't even know what the staff colors are so I don't see a problem...
I have also noticed that most of the people that are posting complaining about bold are former staff.... Who have bold.

Don't take away Grey. It's the only "straight" color left. You took away Light Blue, don't take away grey :fa:

Hi
I think bold should be removed, but keep the colors as it is confusing. And bold in the SB is not the only problem. When there are posts in the forum it can be very confusing for newer members seeing a bold username and color.
That's just my opinion. :y:

They ain't complaining it's called constructive criticism, something that members & staff of this site need to learn about.
