Won't that eventually get filled up then? I guess not, apparently the archive already has like every PM I've ever sent out since the beginning.

Please check back later." Our forum has 140k posts to index....

As I understand it, the board keeps a record of everything ever posted, and the archive that you're accessing it that record.

Captain Posts: 1,063 Group: Members Member #327 Joined: April 4, 2007	That's true...I'm used to forums with exacting limits on PMs - you have a specific inbox size. I was just concerned that the server space would fill up with them after a while.

Based on the strength of this, I cast my vote in favour of change and convinced Paradise. This has yet to be delivered by Zeta... but we're hopeful. Yes... will this Search feature ever actually function or is it just going to keep screeching "Error Code" every time I try? Yeah, like he said. Paradise believes this to be a matter of time. Thing is... you can't create Zetaboards (someone correct me if I'm wrong) you have to create invisions boards and let them upgrade it. So it's not like I can easily test whether searching works on boards that have been indexed. If you really want, search for another Zetaboard and try their search function then report back.

The Devil's Advocate Posts: 7,238 Group: Admin Member #7 Joined: December 26, 2003	So you can. My bad on that one - I was glossing through the tech forums and saw a lot of people who'd created an invision board really recently but asked for it to be converted and just assumed you couldn't create one. Fun note: Zeta's BBcode lets you embed video. So... looks like we haven't lost anything from losing dohtml.

The Devil's Advocate Posts: 7,238 Group: Admin Member #7 Joined: December 26, 2003	Ok, you may notice that some people have shiney new moderator titles! Yay! Unfornately... that's all they are at the moment. :( Apart from general mods, giving mod powers to ranks or individuals doesn't seem to want to work. This is a known issue (as in both our mod team and Zeta know about it). But if you know a recommended fix or work around - please do share it.

The Devil's Advocate Posts: 7,238 Group: Admin Member #7 Joined: December 26, 2003	Yeah... no. I mean don't get me wrong - we moniter the forum mods to make sure they don't abuse their power. But a pissed off general mod could destroy the entire board before we could do anything about it.

The only problem with it is that (apart from NRE) all the people I trust with Gmod powers already have them. :P So I guess, in a way, we're already using that.

I don't trust you with Gmod powers. :P Regional mod? Sure. Mapmaker? Sure. Offtopic and NSWR mod? Sure. Go for anyone of those with my full support (so long as it's not Asia - stay out of Asia). But I wouldn't trust you with Gmod powers. And I've told you this many a time.
