VB update on Sunday, 11-16-08 and other changes

[Rappaccini's Daughter]

I will temporarily take down KT in order to update VB to 3.7.4 tomorrow. Shouldn't take too long, depending on how many mods it breaks.

I will also remove the Karma system.

And finally, in honor of the awesome Ann Dunwoody, (http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gOVHjD7DCtQVV0A7O5I_abqTr3owD94ESBNO5) we will make a return to the fabulous Kay Tastrophe Military School theme. Welcome back, cadets!

[Lisa Nadazdy]

Awesomeness!:yessir:

[Radu]

Sweet action. I don't mind honoring Ms. Dunwoody, and the removal of the Karma system sounds just fine by me. Will I be assigned barracks or do I get to choose my quarters?

Barracks? BARRACKS?! This is the army, soldier. You dig a foxhole, and LIKE it. :mad:

[Black Angel]

Cool! Can I go back to being Black Angel again then please, General?

[Megamieuwsel]

This place is weird, with a mildly scary "tang"to it;
Whenever I return from an extended break, it's in somekind of upheaval/workover/other-kind-of-mess.

Is it just my impeccable timing?...

[Cat of Ulthar]

Mega!!! Good to see you back!

Did you decide to defur the furniture? Don't, it's meant to be that way, which is why it's called fur-niture.

[Megamieuwsel]

Nah, didn't bother with defurring; just bought a "new" set of couches.

[Dawnstar]

I like having this theme back. :)

[The Winslow]

Bitchin'!

[Cat of Ulthar]

Whaaah! I start up my internet and am inundated in violent Pink!!!

Bitchin's better... quieter on the eyes...

[Cat of Ulthar]

The chat box is gone too?

[azrael]

ACK!!! I'm locked into mobi and it won't let me out!!!

edit: I found my way back to the study hall... sorry for the idiot moment

[Rappaccini's Daughter]

My apologies, azreal, for the Mobi problem -- that's a mobile device skin, which is why it showed up all funky textlike and then trapped you. You aren't the only one that happened to, so apologies to all of you unfortunate souls who went skin exploring and got caught in it! :o It should be gone now, unless you're on your mobile gadget.

[AZRogue]

Awesomeness. :D

[Atropine Mama]

OK, upgrade done. Please let me know if you find anything funky or broken.

[Brynja]

Back to Study Hall :)

What I use at work and Sugar and Spice what i use at home

[Harry]

Bitchin'!

Man... I forgot how much I loved this skin. When I logged on a few minutes ago, first thing I did was check to see if were still here. Man.... I love Bitchin'. Bestest skin ever.

Yeah it's a favourite of mine too.

[Varaj]

Anybody played with the user albums?

[Limper]

Anybody played with the user albums?

Not yet.

[Limper]

Uploaded a pic and it worked thus far.

[The Winslow]

I also noticed there are now tags.

[Cat of Ulthar]

Yes, well done for the subliminal message there Winslow...

What are user albums? I shall go forth and bravely explore!

Oh, and can I also once again state my appreciation for the Bitchin' skin. It has really made browsing a more pleasurable experience for me.

And I mock the people who got stuck in Mobi who were too thick to hit their browser's back button.

Edit: I found the user album, brilliant! Quick question though, will it only be visible to people who are signed up on these boards, or also to visitors?

hey, at least I got myself out of there before kay had to come and rescue me


:facepalm:

What are you talking about? :shy:

I'm too lazy to log out to check. :o Maybe if I get bored at work.

[Cat of Ulthar]

I could have done that myself, couldn't I?:o

I checked, and I cannot access profiles when I am logged out.

[Janos]

OK, upgrade done. Please let me know if you find anything funky or broken.

I think the Stealth profile is broken. I don't see it listed at all now, and I reverted to the default pink profile.

[Space Cadet B^3]

Should I revert from being a Space Cadet to being B^3?

[Atropine Mama]

I think the Stealth profile is broken. I don't see it listed at all now, and I reverted to the default pink profile.

Are you talking about styles? We've never had a stealth style, per se, just less colorful ones. None with image restrictions.

[Megamieuwsel]

And I take it, the chatbox was launched into the sun?

[Atropine Mama]

Yep. It was... beautiful... *sniff*

[Megamieuwsel]

Ill take your word for it but...
Did you take pictures of it?

[The Winslow]

Ill take your word for it but...
Did you take pictures of it?

This one was taken just after the impact:

[Cat of Ulthar]

You *did* check no one was in there before you launched it, right?

right?

[The Winslow]

I think there were a few spambots trapped inside, actually.

[Janos]

Yup, I think it was greyish/darker, but all I really paid attention to was that it was a pretty subtle workplace one. I logged on to bright pink yesterday. I tend to tune out the styles usually, but noticed the pink.

Check out the new style, Stealth Bomber, and let me know what you think. :winkgun:

[Black Angel]

Nice! Good for work! ;)

[Atropine Mama]

Thanks, BA!

Another style, Nuts, now available. Might work better for those who like dark backgrounds.

[Janos]

Check out the new style, Stealth Bomber, and let me know what you think. :winkgun:

Thanks Bella, that's great!

[The Winslow]

Very cute!

[Cat of Ulthar]

Nuts is cool, but I'll stick to my Bitchin'. Did I mention how much I like Bitchin'?

[Yig]

Check out the new style, Stealth Bomber, and let me know what you think. :winkgun:

Thanks, it's fucking awesome.

[cnath.rm]

Both Stealth Bomber and Nuts rock!! :) Many thanks for their inclusion.

[Schizm]

I am happy to report that bitchin works great on a full html browser on the blackberry storm.

[Atropine Mama]

Eeeexcellent. Thanks, everybody. My plans for world domination are gaining steam! :cool:
