Well everyone, -Z- is barely back and lo! He's already churning out the updates! All that from his remote and undisclosed location (it is said he hides in an underground chinese bunker, somewhere in the Himalayas), thanks to the help of 56k who emailed old scripts and files to -Z-.

Like you may know we have an Admin Forum and -Z- posted a list of the upgrades, which I paste here:

NEW 01/16/06
Editing panel: location moved to the original post. If you want to edit a THREAD HEADER you must go back to page 1!
From Dan Mac:

 

A lot of times you are editing something with reference to the surrounding context. If your the last post in the list then it's natural to have the edit pane at the bottom but if it's something in the middle of the thread it becomes something of a nuisance.

 

01/12/06
- The most visible is the star system. It's based on the number of posts:
50+ for 1 star
100+ for 2 stars
250+ for 3 stars
500+ for 4 stars
1000+ for 5 stars

- New icons:
If you been away from PTT
>1 month = AWOL (Absent WithOut Leave)
>3 months = MIA (Missing In Action)
Other symbol is to indicate mod/admin.
And a couple of symbols to indicate if a member is silenced or banned.

He addressed the problem with slow PTT uptime
- He deleted 700 accounts
- Apparently the 'unread thread' flagging takes a whole bunch of processing power, so he modified it.

And also...

 

Spent a lot of time clearing up integrity issues... Comments belonging to players that don't exist, comments in threads that don't exist and so on.

 

Plus other arcane things, which only -Z-, the PTT Creator, can comprehend.

Go to http://supra.planetthinktanks2.com/archives/index.asp to learn more!

Please note any the above update may change. -Z- is currently experimenting with features, etc. We'll keep you posted! He's doing everything spontaneously and for free, so TANK YOU -Z-.

Nathan! Still around?

 

Yup, nothing can get rid of me. No matter how many times the guys at Bravetree run my car off a cliff, I'll just keep coming back.

^^^^...and the film is rolling...

You don't have to let go of one rope before grabbing the other. But you'll have to let go of one if you want to swing forward.

^^^^^^, on some browsers (like FireFox), favicons don't change. Go to your profile folder and clean 'em out manually. If you use Linux or Mac OS, it should be somewhere in ~/.mozilla or.firefox. Just delete the favicon files.

Heres an idea ( I know... Weird for this thread :P )

Y'know how we have a skins library? This was brought a a while ago, but what about a mods library? It might make the RX mod pack a little bit easier to update too...

Pardon my rudeness, I cannot abide useless people.
