Mafia Forum Organization

[zoraster]

Hang on to your hats, y'all. Things are going to start to look funky for a bit while I try to fix the organization.

If you need the Queue for now, you can access it here: https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewforum.php?f=4

additionally, you can access New York here: https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewforum.php?f=2

Thanks for your patience!

This would never happen if I was in charge.

[the worst]

we're working on it!

[Iconeum]

I like the new lay-out.

No. There would be enough bugs for a 1990s 4x space game.

My patience is unlimited for following a different link for the queue. I worry if we might miss out on site newbies figuring out how to join their first game, though.

[zoraster]

Yes, it's definitely a concern. That said, we DO have links under each actual forum that directs to the relevant sign up page as well. Still, this is definitely something Kison will have to take a look at because it's out of my control. Something wrong with the database given the SQL errors I've encountered is my guess, but I'm not sure what. Kison is a very busy guy and he's doing us some free work, so it might be a bit.

Newbies also get an automated PM with a direct link to the Newbie queue thread and the Queue forum in general.

That sounds awesome. I'm 90% sure we didn't have this in 2008 and 10% sure I can't remember events that happened over a decade ago very well so this is new info to me that significantly dampens my concern.

[zoraster]

PenguinPower, as it turns out, is a stellar Newbie Listmod.

[RadiantCowbells]

I too was very surprised by that turn of events

[secretGuy234]

love what you've done with the place

[Jake from State Farm]

I can no longer see the New York forum

the queue is inside of itself and also goes through many others

[Alisae]

How is that even possible thats crazy

[zoraster]

believe me when i say i don't know as the admin cp still shows them in the right place -- but unmovable, uneditable, and just generally the forums have decided to be jerks. Putting up a marathon forum somehow ended up with New York also being put into a category no one can see, so I'm going to stop putting up workarounds as they have so far only made matters worse.

That said, a couple of kind people have offered to help fix it, and i've put them in contact with Kison (who is the person with access to the database), so hopefully we can get it sorted shortly. I don't have a timeline on this though, so please bear with us.

[zoraster]

Sounds like Kison and I are going to get together and fix this tomorrow or the next day. It'll result in all of the forums being removed from their organization though, so be prepared to see things truly messed up until I can manually place them in the correct categories. I'm not sure how long that'll take, but I'm hoping no more than an hour. Just wanted to give an update of where we stand.
