Re: Server Downtime - Server Upgrade - Site Upgrade

Apophis, thanks for all your hard work. I really like the new layout and everything works great!

I am just wondering when the tacticalsites.com sites are going to be back up? The WoW site has been down for a few days and I know a few people have been missing it

**Apophis** · 01-30-2010, 09:12 PM

Most of the TacticalSites content is already online. The two big ones that are still offline are TacticalConflict and TacticalWarcraft. They should be back online by sometime tomorrow night. *keeping fingers crossed*

The TG site is going to have a much higher priority, so it will depend on how things go here over tonight and tomorrow.

Hats off to Apophis and the rest for the TS info. I'm in and enjoying the BC2 beta. Thank you.

Yes, was cool except for the crosshairs!

Tactical Gamer needs to get with the times. It needs to look clean, sharp, and Web 2.0 awesomeness, maybe even Web 3.0 awesomeness!

**creepin** · 01-31-2010, 12:06 AM

Heh, pretty sure that's the top of the non-critical list. Most geeks don't abide white backgrounds.

It could all take place there. All hail the mighty elnks!

You're not the only one. I even wrote a screed about it on my blog over a year ago. Really short form... Paper reflects light. Monitors project light. Lots of white from paper means you're in a well lit room. Lots of white on a monitor means you're looking into a bright light. The latter is not something most people enjoy, really.

BTW, it looks like the "Jump to new post" link is now working fine.

**Pistolfied** · 01-31-2010, 09:46 AM

Yay for bringing back the media tags. <3 Apophis, no homo. Now, if only we could get rid of all this bright themed stuff, it burns my eyes!

**Apophis** · 01-31-2010, 12:18 PM

Not really a technical update; but my son has been up since 3am throwing up every couple hours. He's been a wreck so my attention is rightfully elsewhere.

As far as what's done; yes. Media integration is in, reserved slot scripts are once again functional and generating new access lists for games, I have a preliminary color scheme upgrade that i'm almost ready to implement to get rid of the blinding white backgrounds, and the new downloads system is almost complete. All of my own custom code is about 90% completed too. More changes coming this evening but I need to take a break for now and attend to my little guy.

**SharinganTH1422** · 01-31-2010, 12:30 PM

Wow, hope your son gets better soon man.

I hope he gets to feeling better soon. Its always heart wrenching to see the little ones suffering.

**Dredge** · 01-31-2010, 01:57 PM

some chicken soup and a little Contra will have him at 100% before you know it..........works for me

**Jeepo** · 01-31-2010, 02:03 PM

Hope the wee one gets better. Only thing I found was threads I had subscribed to were broken, as no emails were coming through. Also, the rep has totally vanished, can not be seen in UsedCP (settings) now at all. Great work so far, all appreciated, and no rush!
