Attention all BigBlueBall fans! We will be shutting down the BigBlueBall forums tonight (Wednesday) at 11:59 PM PDT while we upgrade our forum software. The forums will be down for about 15 minutes.
When we bring them back, you’ll find some nice new features we hope you’ll enjoy.
Thanks for your patience and ongoing support
Jeff and the entire BigBlue Crew.
September 7, 2006 at 10:18 am #151922Jeff HesterKeymasterThe site is online, although there are still some items that need configuration or work and are otherwise unavailable:
- Downloads
- Arcade
If you run across a problem or broken image, please let us know.
I’ll post an overview of the changes later today.September 7, 2006 at 11:00 am #151938PolarBearNPRParticipantOkay – so I see some new “things” at the bottom of each new post . . . care to explain to us newbs (or at least me) what they mean? I’m not about to furl something without knowing the consequences 😉
September 7, 2006 at 3:52 pm #151932TigerbladeParticipantI’m thinking a whole new thread might be in order Jeff, to properly explain what each new feature is. Some of the staff know a little of what’s new, but not everyone, and certainly not non-staff members.

I’ll follow that up with some screencast tutorials that actually show you how they work.

September 8, 2006 at 1:28 am #151930detn8rParticipantIt’s intact, but not showing. I thought it was something that was lost with the switch and thus, posted about it par your request.
.. i thought it made sense to me. *shrugs*

When I originally read your message I misunderstood and thought that you thought all referral points were lost (they weren’t, and you didn’t). 🙂

And when you quick-edit a post, then hit “Save” there’s an image that’s supposed to appear, but it’s broken. Dunno what it is, maybe some flashy arrow graphic indicating your post is being edited I assume?

Fixed. 🙂
September 8, 2006 at 6:43 am #151926Jeff HesterKeymasterI believe the Downloads and the Arcade are both working now. The arcade scores have been reset, and I need to reinstall a few popular games.
Let me know if you discover any problems.
September 9, 2006 at 5:19 am #151927Jeff HesterKeymasterOur web chat is back online, as is the IRC server. w00t! :woot:
September 9, 2006 at 11:20 pm #151931OreoMemberOnly some of the games are there……many of the catagories are empty now….Where are my jewels?? *sniff*
EDIT: Another thing I have noticed is that some of the avatars are not showing…it just says “so and so’s avatar” in the avatar space
September 10, 2006 at 2:40 am #151937MrOatsMemberAwesome. Everything works for me, except “latest repuatation Given” doesn’t show up on the my bigblueball page… But you’re working on that anyhow. 😉
September 10, 2006 at 12:59 pm #151939PolarBearNPRParticipantUmmmm – what happened to my googletalk contact info? Used to be there . . . now it’s gone. Not that it’s my primary IM, but it’s one of them.
Also – as you re-do the arcade, I would still like to see “simple” games like simon, qbert, frogger 😉 If possible.
