Forums Maintenance on Tuesday, February 21

Published on February 20, 2012 By GunslingerBara In Forum Issues

Hey everyone! Tomorrow we'll be pushing an update to the Stardock Forums that will require us to take them down for a short period. The update will happen around 10AM EST and may be down for up to an hour. The forums will be inaccessible during that time.

What's new?

Design refresh for the stardock.com Forums. Other sites' forums have no changes (or very minor changes).
Minor update to the editor, primarily focused on bug fixes.
Various minor bug fixes.
Major changes to the back-end (stuff you won't see, but that will hopefully make the forums faster and better moving forward).

We apologize for any inconveniences this downtime may cause. Thank you for understanding!

Will there be a possibility to put quote inside a quote?

Not in this update, no. It is a known issue and we will try to have a solution soon.

Will the new forums force everyone to use punctuation, and spell words correctly, and not use "text speak", and, and, and.............. I'll think of something!!!

ps One more thing: it would be wonderful if forums were scalable. The default font is too little on smaller screens (like on my 1024x600 netbook). When I zoom (ctrl++) the posts don't fit in the screen.

If such technology existed, its creator would be killed by enraged Facebook users!

They're just doing this because Abe Lincoln is rampaging all over the internets today.

Oh how i would love this!
The wasted real estate on my monitor when reading the forums could be so better put to use.

The update was pushed a little later than expected, but all is well now. Please post in the Forum Issues forum if you find any issues!
