Howdy folks,
I know for quiet some time I haven't done updates and fixes here at TLR. I was pretty busy doing modding work (which is done now).
Today I took the chance to update the forum software any +20 of its plugins.
The problem with the smilies also should be gone now.
That problem was result of a try to merge the Framework of the SWAT Portal with the one used here in order to connect both communities.
For now these plans are on hold eventhough 80% of the integration is already done. Reason for that are different user encryptions of these 2 portals.
I first have to find a way to make everything compatible before the final merge can happen. The functionality of both sites has taken no damage... the work is just a little bit more complictated than I expected (at least in this area).
However, I wanted to inform you about the changes the progress and the delay of the merge. AND I ask for feedback. If you find errors on this site please report them to me (i already got some reports of missing language values) and if you think we there is some stuff we should improve then we will try to get it done.
By request and based on the relative low abuse in the past weeks the previously active censoring of links has been deactivated.
Instead an automatic monitoring was activated to prevent that such problems appear again. In such a case the censoring would activate automatically again.
Considering the future workload here at TLR (introduction of new projects and features) i feel the need also to introduce new Staff members.
Voluntaries can step forward and write a pm to me till the end of august.
