Forum Announcements

[Nightcrawler]

We still haven't gotten e-mail fully straightened out. The data center was supposed to do our rDNS, but I'm not seeing it show up yet. I don't want mail sent out from RHDN until it's in place. It's a surefire way to get on spamlists, get deferred from major ISPs etc. So until that's resolved...

1. Everybody's PM notifications have been turned off.
2. Notifications of all kinds in general should also be disallowed, but this forum makes it nearly impossible to turn off all e-mail related functionality. I even tried editing relevant code. I think I got most of it.
3. Registration is currently disabled.

If you had an account in the past 2 months that was lost, send me an e-mail at my name at romhacking.net. Incoming e-mail works OK. I'll see about manually creating one for you.

As you might also imagine, the queue is kind of stalled as well waiting on the e-mail issue. We can approve without e-mail, but I think it's important we wait until e-mails are OK to better keep everybody informed while re-adding stuff where submission activity will be heavy. Remember you can view the current queue from the Submit Files Page. Please feel free to continue to submit any material or edits you we were missing since April that aren't already in queue. I don't mind a big queue backup. It won't take long to get through them when e-mail works again.


Missing Material:

Here are copies of our extended submission pages from Google Cache showing the last 20 additions/edits of all sections. Items listed since April need to be added back if possible. I am taking care of re-adding the missing news. If those of you who submitted the edits (or reviews) can recall what you may have edited and redo the edit, that would be a nice bonus.

I believe Neil has many of the files for the new items. His pile of junk is here:

Hopefully we'll be able to resume clearing the queue out soon.


EDIT: Links fixed.

EDIT3: I've added a Google cache page of the help wanted ads for anybody who wants to re-add their help wanted ads.

[Dragonsbrethren]

None of your links are working right now, and you have docs listed twice.

[Lenophis]

Luckily, I remember the few patches I made edits to (and in the case of one patch, edited four times ). I'll get to them later, I have a feeling there's going to be a massive influx of activity in the near future.

Dunno if it slipped past the radar last time, but if so, http://www.romhacking.net/transhistory/ has the shifty 84.244.138.55 IP thing again.

[MathOnNapkins]

I lost at least 16 whole posts!

*grabs his blanket and cries*

BRPXQZME:
Thanks. We don't need any of that again. Fixed. The rest of the site is all clear as far as that goes. All template and site code was restored from the Friday before the crash.

I also had to redo all the UTF-8 conversion work and it seems all your prior posts somehow came out more correct than last time from what I saw!

If anyone is interested I can provide a list of changes I made to the Community Database to make it mostly up-to-date. I won't be editing the entries again.

Please do so publicly (seperate topic plz). While I have no time right now, if nobody jumps in before me, I might see to it by next week.

Woot!

[Neil]

Working on assembling a list of stuff I couldn't find through a few minutes of google searching. I'm hoping all of these will be easy for various members of the site since most of them are by frequent posters. See the first post for details.

As some of you may have noticed, I'm working on adding the news back oldest to newest. I'm on Super Mario 64: The Missing Stars. Can anybody provide a title screenshot for the news and/or any images that may have been on this page:

RHDN seems to have spread far as an undisclosed source.

and the new title screen, ftw

[Tauwasser]

Also, it seems

www.romhacking.net.ru hotlinks many of our images...Maybe it's time for a 404 for images without referrer?

cYa,

Neil:
I believe that title screen should be 320x240. What the heck did you use to make that?

Tauwasser:
After a quick look, I didn't see any that they didn't copy to their servers. I don't see anything their directly hot linking.
