Forum Server Out of Space

@SS-GEN said in How does one access the old forum ?:

When I looked back I just scrolled back in pages to find what I was looking for. But I think you can only do 1 page at a time and there will be less pages than old forums
Just look for the topic or de Gaulle topic.

yea i’ve done that before. came across that link while searching was wondering why it didn’t work.

@Panther Thanks

@Carolina said in Forum improved???:

For something like house rules, you need to be able to sort (for example) everything related to “mines”.

Please use the Search for it 0_1542795131651_search4.PNG

Klicking on this symbol brings you to 0_1542795184336_search5.png where you can enter your keyword .
Or klick on the gear wheels and specify the search according to your needs:

The search has improved a lot compared to the old forum software.

@redrum

It looks like migrating file will be possible (fingers crossed). I’m going to setup the forum before I do the data migration so you should be able to access it and test TripleA with it.

I’m fairly certain that Discourse has an API that you can use so I’ll be sure to turn on that functionality.

@Gargantua:

David - I will come down for a game if you are going to play at Karls!

We can make it the first live feed at aa.org?!?’

Let’s pick a weekend to do this. Maybe we can evolve this, over time, into an A&A.org convention. :wink:

We could play Anniversary edition on my friend’s giant map using A&A minis pieces.

Yes, let’s!

@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 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.

In your case Magister, it most likely is a combination of factors.

Your ping time is slow (on a speed test, I typically ping at 31-34 ms) and your bottom-end download speed is also slow.

Combine that with a slow response server (A&A.org), and you are going to get some very poor results.

If you are on Cable, then you need to do some work on your system.  Perhaps too much running in the background, or perhaps you are in need of having a “system tweek”
