So, uh, about the new forums …

@CWO:

Since we switched to the new forum software, I haven’t been able to post any picture attachments successfully.  The system gives me the attachment option, but when I use it the system gets hung up and what gets posted is a faulty file that doesn’t open.   I’ve tried using two different browsers (I.E. and Chrome) and it failed to work in both cases.  Has anybody else run into this problem?

It’s not new software. It’s a new server. Well, I did also upgrade the version of the forums software, which could be causing these issues.

SMF is a terrible platform and I will be making it go away soon enough. I plan on working on this project starting tomorrow.

I really don’t understand all this “house rule” talk…

The 1942 setup is APPROVED BY LARRY HARRIS!!!

It is not a house rule. It is an official alternate setup. Therefore, it should get one of the following:

A Subforum under the G40 Board (Similar to the setups of AA50)

Its own forum (Similar to 1939)

A sticky

I get that ppl posting house rules in main game forums is a problem, and personally I think it should be better organized, but either way that discussion does not apply here.

Well said!

I seriously want to play 30 games of global but I do not want to crash the server lol.

I noticed that if I edit… then the dice will all reroll!

HMMM.

I was thinking maybe have moderators delete games long after they are completed.

Just delete everything inactive for more than 6 months. That is super quick. If you want to spend many hours you can save the last file of every single game and put the “title, date, and players”  and post an entire thread with just the last file and the result of who was who and who won.

If that does not clear enough space. Have mods delete games that are completed and recorded. That is it.

I win 3/4th of my games and I will never look at them again. There is no point to them.

Posting non-minis stuff for trade is fine. I’ll eventually create a new board for it but in the meantime use the minis section.

I enjoy reviewing the play by forum games, its a great way to learn and see how others implement strategies and deal with bad dice rolls.  I am still somewhat unfamiliar with this site and its sometimes not easy to deduce what game and version of the rules are being used.  Could there by a seperate forum or sub-forum for each of the games which would then link to the legacy games or provide a new home for play by forum games.  I guess a better question is, is it worth the work I ask?  Thanks in advance!

it helps when english isn´t your main language, since i rarly get legit e-mails in English…,…

But there is a new virus on MSN that my girlfriend mnaged to infect my system with.

It says somethinga long the line;  Here´s some summer pictures i took the other day, have a look"  then it wants you do download a rar file, if you do it will download and say “error, couldn´t download”  (but it sure did).

Then all your Msn contacts will get the same  messages from your Msn when they or you log on.

Beware., It was quite hard to get rid of…  had to manually dleete some stuff, then atlast the virus priogram managed to clear out the rest but it took 4 scans+manual deleting+making my firewall stop all contacts with certain programs in the mean time…

Without firewall it will contact some server and re-download all vital files again when a virus scan and cleaning is done.

@Candyman67:

I know most here are fond of WWII. I was thinking that we could have a seperate forum to discuss WWII topics/controversies like we have done before.

yes general works…

just so y’all know, i’ll post another WW2 article soon.
