Help
( "
nowadays these kind of stuff takes longer time than it should. but it'll come when it'll come. just gotta prepare well.
Important Announcement!
Not any new features to shout about, fixed bugs and worked on backend etc so heh not too much to see. Anyways..
The members blogs has been removed and will no longer work. [will get links etc removed asap]
Hover promt is now back on forum. So is a old fav which old members liked which was the topic preview hover (mouse over link to topic shows you what first post is, before you even read this bet you found that out)
Newbies don't get where "My Controls" is etc so I'll be expanding them links (taking mc off that drop down links menu for example) and adding it to the "Mickey, -2 New Messages" row so some more stabled links will be along that line like how arcade etc is.
As always with forum version updates, got to sort mods out again. So arcade and such other bits may not work for while. Few mods that I have to readd are newer versions anyways so bug fixes etc for battle system and such. Will be updating stuff as I can.
Image Gallery has gone over a update (was 2.1.2 I think) Now 2.2 is out. Heres quote from the release not all of it will make sense to all of you =p
Quote
IP.Gallery 2.2.0 Released
New Features and Changes
Use of IP.Board internal and alternative cache stores to reduce overhead [aka faster
]
ACP language abstraction
IP.Gallery has been converted to a component from a module
Redesigned ACP interfaces for managing categories, post form, and groups
Post form fields automatically insert into the post form and image view page without manual skin edits
Import/export of media types to allow sharing of media type codes
Zip import capabilities for members
Latest images honor permissions accurately / Improved recursive latest image and count handling for albums and categories
Image dimensions display on fileview
Slimmed templates, better use of foreach and other html logic to make skinning easier
Added "Forum style" for album listings
Various image listing pages use the global settings (as opposed to hard-coded 9 image display)
Internal code overhaul - reduced queries, reduced number of queries in SQL cache files, less template files loaded
Improved search - search capabilities expanded, search results use image listing format
Improved full image popup options: show in new window, show in popup, use IPB attachment (Gallery 2.1) style, and lightbox integration capabilities
Added ability for members to choose default sorting for albums when creating them, added sort options to album view
Notification option for new comments to an image (with ability to subscribe during image submission)
Notification options for new images in a category or album
Control panel to manage notification options
Ability to view more than last 10 comments (view all, 10 per page, ordered by submission date desc)
Ability for administrators to disable private albums
Added easy bbcode options to image view page
Added ability to set an image as your avatar
Redesigned image view page slightly to clean it up a little
Added ajax controlled photostrip navigation
Added ability to find all images by a user from the Gallery tab in profiles
Ability to moderate albums, including move images to and from albums, hide and unhide images in albums, pin and unpin images in albums, etc.
Plus dozens of small cleanups here and there. Much of the work went into the backend - there was a lot of abstraction of common functions, and a lot of work put into making Gallery run more efficiently. There is now a much stronger base moving forward to work from than before, and adding new features should be much easier than it was previously.

Immortality said about how loyal and other group members couldn't access parts of gallery and such or something. I checked into it and now ALL groups can make own albums etc. Like when checked settings loyals could only make one album each, Now it's unlimted for everyone.
Heres a question, What other categorys would you like to be added. Other then Bleach/Ygo. Pokemon has never had any images in it ever so removed that. Think sharmen will be deleted too. Doesn't have to be any type of anime, could be weird photos, nice scene photos etc o.o REQUEST what people would use
Battle System is back up. 1.4.0 now.
Quote
Added in v1.4.0:
Fixed the install issues with IPB 2.3.x
Added steal Gil in battle even if you dont kill them as long as you win the battle. Min and Max amounts can be set in ACP. [Micks: I've set this to 50/100 as you can see by the settings page in the battle system]
Lose EXP if you lose a battle. (You lose the amount of HP you leave the defender with)
Fixed minor bugs in a few files that didnt really affect the game but needed fixing anyway.

I have cut amount of money gained by quite abit and also prices will be doing up.
With my plans for the forums shop/store don't want many people walking around with 1000000k of Money. Seems most money is made by arcade/battle so will be at some point changing what you get for making topics/making replys(posts) them amounts will go up so get a even field so all things to do that gave Duel Points are fair. So don't have to just do one thing i.e play arcade to become rich. Costs to make guild etc have gone up.
Weapons and Items have all been removed. [Sorry about this] Should be new items (maybe) and tons of new fun weapons for you lot
since you didn't really have any before Will keep updating stuff/editing this post
. Yay!
