No it's not, but whatever; I've broken my habit of clicking on the banner in any case.

Yes it is. The banner now goes to the main stardestroyer.net site table of contents. I've tested this on all 4 styles (not counting the BareBones low-bandwidth one which does not have a banner). If it doesn't do that for you, then you need to refresh your cache.

When I am doing a search and the results number in the dozens of pages, sometimes after clicking on "Next" to advance through the results, I get, "Sorry but you cannot use search at this time. Please try again in a few minutes."

I just now tried it searching for "Enterpise" and I got the above immediately after clicking on "Next" after my initial results. This happens no matter if I filter the results to search within a particular forum or all of them.

This issue happens (seemingly) inconsistently. Some it happens right away, after I click "Next" for the first time (or one of the of the numbers to skip to a particular page) or sometimes after I click ahead a half-dozen pages, one after the other, without waiting. Any ideas? Apologies if this has been addressed.

It's working just fine for me with MF at least, and I've been on and off the site all evening, without refreshing the cache (using Firefox).

Unless he changed the signature image limitations, your banner's width of 550 pixels would keep you from updating. There was a hard limit imposed of 500w and 100h when the upgrade first went through.

That's my guess on why your changes won't go through. Though I think you should have gotten a message about your image being too big when you tried to submit it.

I did. That was the very first thing I tried and it still doesn't work. I have no idea what the problem is though, and it's an extremely minor issue (like I said, I've retrained myself). So if I'm the only one having trouble, then don't waste your time with it.

hence why I switched from my uber cool havokoff sig pic to the cult of the kitten sig pic....

I'm getting a completely blank white page when I try to view page 8 of this thread:

http://bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewtopic. ... &start=175

and the most recent post in this thread:
http://bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewtopic. ... 5#p2947385

A number of threads can't be accessed, like this one: http://bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewtopic. ... 4&t=128802

Fingolfin, I can see that thread just fine. Can you check the ones I posted? Are you seeing a blank white screen when you try to access your thread?

I think we have the same problem. I deleted my cookies from this site and restarted my browser (Firefox v. 1.5.x) but it's still doing it.

I can't see a single thread in Testing.

I'm getting Phantasee's and Fingolfin's problem with this thread:

http://bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewtopic. ... 2&t=128821

...but none of the ones they listed. I can read the thread when I'm logged out, but when I'm logged in it's a blank white page. If I log out, click "reply" in the thread, and then log back in when it takes me to the startup screen, I see this reply form and the thread below it like normal.

I had some problems with the code that I was editing in an attempt to change the edit time limits. I reverted it to the stock code.

Seems fine now.

I'd like to bring back some of the "edit at any time" permissions for private forums and Fanfic. Editing a story you wrote is now a nightmare.

I was checking the main page earlier, and the box on the side listing recent forum topics no longer has anything in it.

What box? Do you mean the last post boxes? Because those show up fine for me.

I'm talking about the Recent Forum Topics box under the poll here. http://www.stardestroyer.net/Empire/

Try it again and let me know if it works.

System failure occurred yesterday at approximately 4:30pm. The failure was due to the failure of the server's Antec power supply. I didn't have time to fix it until now because I was too busy with my kids and my job. The power supply has been replaced with an OCZ unit. Sorry about the disruption, folks.

Thanks for the quick fix, Mike.

Out of curiosity, isn't this the second time an antec power supply has failed on you?

i'm starting to wonder if I should switch mine out.

Antec has had quality control problems in recent years (their EarthWatts line excepted, as those are Seasonic units) .

yeah, what do you think was responsible for all of my crashes over the last two years. Besides I still can't figure out which is worse, why did I keep buying Antecs or why is Antec still in business?

While their power supplies may not be top of the line, their cases are. None of them are made of flimsy thin gauge sheet metal (like some of Thermaltake's cases), and they're all stylish (except maybe the Skeleton).

Yes, I've had an Antec power supply fail on me before. But I've had all kinds of power supplies fail on me before. Frankly, I'm happy as long as the power supply doesn't take the rest of the computer with it, which happened once with a really cheap power supply. It died but not before putting a huge voltage spike through the rest of the system which fried everything in it but the floppy drive.
