Previous admins had individual usernames as they were active members of the boards. The Gothic.net user came about after the site transferred ownership.


Also I'm just that awesome.

That or I’m being totally boneheaded, which is entirely possible.

We will look into this and get albums more easily accessible if we can.

Gothic.net administration did the best job they could to collect and import all the old user and thread/post data into the newer forum system, so many of the posts and some of the familiar users have original dates that are actually older than the current community system, as I understand it. (this does not however have much bearing on any dates of ownership changes, only site design and upgrade phases.)

Whenever this problem occurs the page looks like it is 90% loaded and then times out after while. It happens maybe twice a day.

Can you give us more detail about this? Does it occur regularly or just occasionally?

Thank you, it seems to be working now.

It comes and goes. For example, right now it is perfectly fine but 6 hours after my previous post the General Section was unavaliable, as It simply wouldn't load up for me.

Admins: I noticed my post count was reduced by a thousand!
Know any reason why?
I was in the 7,000+ range and now I am below that.

I also noticed Godslayer Jillian's dropped from 9,989 to 9,602.

[HumanePain]

No answer?
I suspect a thread was deleted somewhere.

[Corpsey]

Mine went down 200 or so. So we just need to figure out what we could have posted on multiple times in order to lose so many. All I can think of is the original picture post and/or poetry thread if it was simply one thread.

[Gothic.net]

It shouldn't actually be due to thread deletion. Since people had mentioned difficulty with the page number links on longer threads, we had the system run a number of tasks to recalculate post counts, thread/post numbers, etc. Some of the numbers shifted, but the content should be correct.
