In the next days (from April 3 to April 7) we will do some maintenance on website and servers.
A short downtime or maintenance mode may be expected.
After this we expect the website to increase in speed, apart from some other new things we may announce later on.
-
Wonderful. I noticed a lag increase recently but this will probably fix it and make things better.
-
oh ok, nice.
BTW, hi.
-
Lets hope so :)
-
Nice to hear, hopefully it will be for our own good, as I have been experiencing some lag recently. :)
-
Alrighty, but please (I'm begging you :lol: ) keep the server up tomorrow at 11.00 AM (CET) until 12.00 CET, The finals of a big event will commence, would be a shame if the server would be down at that time.
Other than that, good to see improvement coming!
-
Good to hear:)! Can't access the forums because of lag sometimes.
-
Good to hear, Mr.Eye in the sky! :cool:
-
Awesome to hear Sauron, and glad to see you're alive and well, in whatever sense a god can be hahaha!
Keep up the awesome work man!
-
Sounds good, hopefully the website and the forum will be a bit faster.
-
Great.
Increased speed would be perfect.

How about get off that sky for once and role play with us.... ? :/

Good to hear my dear Eye in the Sky, good luck!

Just a trivia for you guys. Sauron is more a webhoster than a gamer, so if you see him ingame it would be a miracle. :razz:

Ya...it's been years since I've seen him come play with us, and that was back when MTA:VC was the only server in Argo!
-
Good news!
-
yes Good to Hear.
-
Nice to hear
-
Great news :D
-
Hopefully connection problems will be fix'd
-
So will this fix the forums crashing once in a while too?
-
Prayers from Worshippers of Sauron has caused this,i'm telling you.
-
Thanks for the information, Sauron
-
Good to hear that you guys are working to make the websites better. ;)
-
Forum feels a lot faster.
-
Forum ranks changed?

Forum ranks changed?
I think not, mate.
You have 13 days totally logged in and your rank should be regular. No worries.

Well, it's not about my rank. I don't actually care if I'm a stranger. I see members as veteran/hero, and before the downtime of the forum they were regular.
-
nothing change except those ads you added.
-
Is it me or is the main banner oversized?
And did the theme change colour from blue to white?

Banner is not the good size at the moment, Coloursceme is still the same, And look at the bottom (of the messages, last message of the topic (page))
There is a footer added, Random pictures and ads.

Seems to be a problem with Chrome (and Safari,as they both use the same base)
-
I've just used the dev function in chrome, at the moment, the code for the banner is as followed:
<img src="/forum/header/rotator.php" width="100%" height="100%" alt="Argonath RPG Forums">
For some reason this makes most users using Safari and Chrome have an oversized banner, it does however show the correct size when the code is set out as followed:
<img src="/forum/header/rotator.php" width="100%" height="auto" alt="Argonath RPG Forums">

How to change it? Never mind, found it. Right click on the height="100%" and change it to auto.

Or just delete it.. but it's only a temporary thing for testing..

Not a Chrome issue, because I've been using it this entire time and it works fine. Gandalf is still trying to fix some bugs.

Regarding the header, do you see it normal or does it coever the screen like some people reported ?
And yes, that does seem to be a browser related issue. So do report it as a bug to the browser makers. :D

It's a CSS/PHP issue within the forum software. Something in the original design was forcing the banner's area to that size, and the CSS was merely telling the image to fill in that space 100%. I think that plant image that was showing up in the rotator was the one forcing the size. The reason for my belief behind this is that I have a custom header on one of my forums that has the same issue, and my fix was to have a transparent image in a certain place to keep the sizing correct.
Edit: And just as I say it, the big man fixes it! Way to go Gandy! ;)

Indeed, it scales the image over the full width it got. So the bigger you make the browser, the bigger the image will be. In width aswell in height. With the resolution of 1920 x 1080 I got, it is quite a big (in height) header. :D

Which means that your browser did not handle the THML properly, as the height was seen as a global parameter instead of linked to the table in which the header is located.
Howver a fix for users of a useless browser applied. :lol:

Not necessarily. That would be the forum's template that would need to take the blame in this case, because it was not resizing based on the browser's size, but was instead displaying a static, overly large sized banner.

Forum template had no changes... And users with Firefox had no problems...

Gandalf made some template changes trying to clean up the ads, which resulted in the mod bugging the forum for a bit until he was able to fix it. I think in the process of that, something else got messed up as well. He told me in an attempt to fix it previously that he even copied over a fresh copy of the theme to combat the bug, so I'm thinking that the custom banner system was changed sometime after the theme was created, so the new changes weren't added when the theme was reinstalled.

That has nothing to do with the forum table...
As well as the problem is only for Google Chrome users...
-
I'm using Chrome, the Banner had been a bigger size, yes. But now it's back to normal.

Well what I'm thinking happened is the changes were made when the new, custom banner was added sometime after the original theme was made way back when, so when Gandalf reinstalled that theme to conquer the forum bug the other day, any changes made to the theme after it was originally made would've been lost, meaning even a fix for certain browsers.

Yes because we did one change statement which Chrome did not handle... All other browsers had no problems...

Once again, header was bugged only for Chrome users...

It's working fine now. :)

I know, I'm not saying it isn't specific to a certain browser, I'm just saying I believe the bug is being caused by a previous fix being accidentally removed as a result of the forum fix, but things are all good now. :)

Forum is great, although you guys need to fix the lag on the server.
-
Banner still bigger than it used to be here with Mozilla Firefox 4!

Move to Europe or buy a better internet :)

Banner does seam bigger then it was before
-
I live in Europe and I lag aswell.
-
I lag as hell... and I am in Europe.
-
Me to, I live in The Netherlands. It's just a couple 100KMs from the server thingy, and I got a good internet connection. Got around 60 ping most of the time.

I thought the same, even after they fixed it. It's the same way in IE too. I thought it was just me, though.
