If you care about your clan, or even better 2old2play I suggest you read it. I'll probably have a more official post about the state of things here once that thread runs its coarse so stay tuned.
Having said that I wanted to let you know of some fixing that I've put into place over the last couple days.
1) It should now be fairly impossible to double post in forums or comments. Once you hit the submit button it should disappear with a little message that lets you know its posting. Hopefully this stops 99% of the double post issues we were seeing in the forums (Thanks walla).
2) Fixed a bug that caused lag time in some page loads. We had some issues with a bug that would sometimes cause the site to act a lot slower. At this point we have an average load time of 5 seconds or below for all pages; which is significantly faster then before. Site hangs still seem to happen in a lot of cases though and so I'll keep working on performance improvements as we go. If the site is slow for you, let me know browser, location, time of day, etc. In fact if it felt faster in the last few days that would be good info to know as well.
3) And this is the most important fix/addition. Smileys are back in force .gif "20"){kind=small}
.gif "133"){kind=small}
.gif "137"){kind=small}
.gif "138"){kind=small}
.gif "173"){kind=small}
.gif "99"){kind=small}
.gif "95"){kind=small}
.gif "42"){kind=small}
.gif "48"){kind=small}
.gif "24"){kind=small}
.gif "172"){kind=small}
I've added 4 times the amount we had in V2 with over 432 options. At this point I need reign in the list a bit and make things easier to choose, but everything from V2 and much more are now available.
4) Finally I've been hearing more about login issues from server other members. People seem to log in once, then close the browser and have to log in all over again. This is not something I can replicate on my own end in any browse so I REALLY need your help trying to track down this bug. Any and all information you can provide would be helpful. Rock on. .gif "1"){kind=small}

I approve of the new smileys! Smileys for all!
Hrm...it seems the smiley window isn't scrollable. Is there a way to resize the window that I'm not seeing? Currently, it just runs off the screen, like so:

No, ill add that in tonight when I get some more free time. I had to enter in all the images by hand and needless to say it took a REALLY long time.

Well, the obvious solution is that I need a newer monitor that will support higher resolutions so that the window doesn't need to be scaled.
We'll see how well that justification goes over with Ms. Plato, but I'm sure she'll understand..gif "163")

I use IE 9. The problems that I have encountered as of late are, the blog banner at the top keeps moving around. It mostly stays in the user area, the short cuts to my account, blog, etc. The second problem are the drop down menus, I'll scroll my cursor over the COMMUNITY icon, the list apeers and I can click on forums, but any thing below that and the list disapeers, same go's for the rest of the menus.

Firstly, WHY ARE YOU USING IE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, now that we have that out of the way, can you take a screen shot for me so I can see the problems first hand. I've got IE9 myself, but can't replicate those issues. THANKS!

I'll try and get one for you this weekend. I use IE because I'm a redneck hillbilly from northern Alberta.

Awesome... Yes, the site has been faster the past few days in IE. As far as IE goes, I sent you an IM in G+ about the IE I can't discuss yet on open forums..gif "99")
Submitted by badmin on Fri, 08/10/2012 - 12:14
I never check G+. Can you PM me here?
