Thank you and the other staff members for all of the hard work you are doing to bring us Simtropolis 6.0. I consider it a privilege to belong to a fine site such as this.

It is, indeed

[Eʟᴇᴍᴇɴᴛ 273]

Thats weird... some of the smilies and avatars are missing... I just keep seeing these ? marks

[Eʟᴇᴍᴇɴᴛ 273]

...page bug again

[Craig-Abcvs 1,595]

How on earth can you say fat free, cream cheese and sour cream all in the same sentence?

Sorry that does not compute.

[Boggy1 45]

I actually love this new banner! It's so light and airy! It's as if Spring has begun!

Also, yeah, the website is so much faster, it's really brilliant. No more wandering off for coffee while I wait for a thread to load!

EDIT: Page flip bug again! So, now, this is the fifth post on the PF page. Does this compute with your calculations abcvs?

[Boggy1 45]

Page Flip Bug; YOU SHALL NOT PASS!

EDIT: There we go, no more page flip. So, the sixth post on the 21st page made it visible. Does that still add up with your calcs Craig?

[Craig-Abcvs 1,595]

:::   runs around in circles and flaps arms a bit :::

um...  hang on...  gets calculator...

yes that computes...

This is post 601

Post number 7 on this page.

601 -7 = 594

20 x 30 = 600   (twenty pages @ 30 posts each)

600 - 594 = 6.

Yes Boggy you are correct...  your post number 6 did indeed flip the page.

This thread is missing 6 posts somewhere between page 1 and 20.  That is what gives it its PFB count.

[BlondeTwiggy 43]

The new banner is awesome!

So what is this theory of yours? Are you saying that every thread with a page flip bug is missing posts? Is this something that's always been there or is it something caused by the hack? Will it go away? Will I ever stop asking questions?

[Duke87 1,070]

By the way, Boggy's so-called "special URL" to the chatroom isn't so special. Anyone can use it.

https://www.simtropolis.com/chat/index.cfm

Easy to locate with a simple highlight and "view selection source".

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Brad: Interesting...

Brian: No, it's not posts eaten by the hack, the post bug was around before then.

Brad: I think it is posts people have deleted.

Brian: That hasn't been tested, though.

[Boggy1 45]

Yes Duke, I am well aware of that. An easier way would be to just copy the URL from the URL Bar of course. And I was using the word "special" in a flippant manner, and it wasn't intended to convey any false impression that the URL was unique to me in any way. In fact, many members know of it.

Also, I told you I wasn't imagining the flash adverts everywhere.

[Duke87 1,070]

You probably have adware on your computer.

Damn it leech...

[LarksTonguesInAspic 28]

I am very thankful for the return to speedy page loading again. Some pages were taking up to 5 minutes to load, it was getting to be a real pain. Thanks!

[Explodingsims 3]

Geez, I loose my password for a few days and a site change starts?

You gotta move fast here....

[WillR116 60]

agreed, btw, new sig, read it, its funny

[Craig-Abcvs 1,595]

Well the problem is that with the site running so dang fast...   that now I don't have time to go and make coffee between page loads...   and lack of coffee makes me grumpy...

[Meg 368]

Boggy, you have some kind of advert spam bug on your machine. The site doesn't look that way on its own

[WillR116 60]

ha, new sig , yay

[Eastwinn 6]

Check the run folders in your registry, Boggy. You've definitely caught something. Hopefully it's not the impossible-to-remove thing I had before. Viruses are so frustrating.

[R30hedron 28]

Yes, I'm able to get back on Simtropolis after school for once this week!

I don't seem to understand the new old smilies, I know that this forum is a fusetalk one, but how did these smilies (,,,etc.) get to Simtropolis?

Oh, and abcvs, What's this theory with the Page Flip Bug? All of a sudden I'm interested!

EDIT: alright, I don't understand how to make old smilies, but the speed of the uploads are nice... is there an increase on the bandwidth?

Many of them were made by dirk himself. Some of them were made by a member by the name of Thalassicus, who got a (2004) Trixie for his contributions.

The original smilies from 2003 were different (see previous discussion on the matter). All of them were redone along with a major site upgrade in March of 2004, save for one, which still appears as it always has: the bunny.

[Boggy1 45]

Yeah, thanks guys, I ran an AdAware and Spybot check and it took out a couple of things; now there are no more ads. I would have guessed that I had adware before, but since I haven't had any sort of infection for years, it just didn't occur to me.

Nice to see that's fixed.  Now reduce the size of that image!

[Eʟᴇᴍᴇɴᴛ 273]

Great to see that fixed Boggy1 I really hate spyware and viruses, last year I got a computer virus that didn't even let me turn on the computer, so my cousin came and helped me out. We found that I.P. address of where the virus came from... Iraq

Anyways looks like the omnibus is getting 6.0 prepared...

You would think so, but since users have problems seeing posts older than 365 days, the staff "bumps" the omnibus articles to ensure everyone can see them.

Congrats on getting that fixed!

[Cockatoo 2,257]

Did anybody else notice the hidden message in the top left hand corner of the banner?

"CHANGE IS COMING TO SIMTROPOLIS"

 Wow! Great job in pointing that out!

Edit: I found it... I saved the image to the desktop and opened it up and zoomed in... Hmmm... seems like dirk is up to something...
