Unfortunately, rigorous Dev Testing and Beta Testing is not always a guarantee that everything will go smoothly when features and fixes go live.

If you have any problems with the updates listed above or need help with any of them, please post on this thread so that the Staff may assist you.

Thanks.

Not really an "issue," but I don't think using @ should like something over 15 characters, as that's the maximum number of characters allowed in a username.

Also, I haven't tried this, but does using @ link to those few members with spaces in their usernames?

You can link to spaced usernames like this:

[@Test User]

Which will result in:
Test User

As far as the 15 characters, thanks for the heads up. I don't think it will cause any issues, however.

EDIT: Failed at markup.

The site policies page says last updated in 2006, when it was updated just today.

The thing is that some older usernames are over fifteen characters.

To link usernames with spaces, you can enclose the tag in brackets. For example, to link Belay Dog you need to do [@Belay Dog].

To my knowledge, the Site Policies page actually wasn't updated at all.

Oh, I saw the blue and assumed that was new.

Cano - That is a page with policies from 2006. The policies that were changed today were never on the page and therefore not removed from the page. It is therefore correct that the date still shows as 2006 because that is the last time that page was updated.

Those policies apply to all of ACC and not particular boards. Although the rule updates also apply to all of ACC, there were some policies previously in existence that applied to certain parts of ACC. It is those that were changed and therefore not relevant to the policy page which still applies to all of ACC and still is in force.

Hope that clarifies things for you.

I find it harder to read the homepage. I think (and really hope) that the color coded boxes come back.

(Yellow on Announcements, Red on Donating/The other new things added, White on the Introduction)

Try refreshing your browser. The boxes are still there, just coded differently.

Really minor thing, but the "Staff Work Lists and Discussions - Updated: 7th June 2012" needs to have the stuff that was just added to the site removed from the "In Beta Testing" section in red. The title should also be updated.

Two things:
Since the heading already reads "AC Community" i.e. "ACC", this should look like this. The redundancy is bugging me. Should I post that on the Suggestions board?

Secondly, not to be a pain, but when will the pattern contest announcements be moved to the noticeboard? Is that planned for the next update?

"Really minor thing, but the "Staff Work Lists and Discussions - Updated: 7th June 2012" needs to have the stuff that was just added to the site removed from the "In Beta Testing" section in red. The title should also be updated."

Andrew_M - I'm the only person that maintains the list. I always place the date in the title so people would know that the information was correct only at the time of posting - ergo, it may not be correct now (which it isn't). When an update happens, I'm busy elsewhere making sure that everything is working fine. Lists such as those don't get updated until 1-7 days later - depending very much on what happens.

Also, given that this bug fix update has taken double the time expected, it's not a case of removing the red features. I'm going to have to overhaul the entire list of green by first discussing with the Devs what is possible in the time we have left because the next update has to be done by a certain time this year.

"Since the heading already reads "AC Community" i.e. "ACC", this should look like this. The redundancy is bugging me.  Should I post that on the Suggestions board?"

cr021 - We plan in future to update the entire left margin. There are a few things that aren't clear and need to be changed.

"Secondly, not to be a pain, but when will the pattern contest announcements be moved to the noticeboard? Is that planned for the next update?"

This is on the current work list. Although as said to the member above that the work list is out of date, there is a feature on there about the CNB and the Pattern Contests. Currently images cannot be posted on the CNB so Pattern Contests (and all other official contests requiring images) can't be announced on the CNB.

Also as said above, we are now on a deadline for the next update so once I speak to the Devs and we agree on a work list, the one on the Site Suggestions board will give you all a better idea of what is highly likely to be in the next features update.

Whenever you press the femote, it shows up as .

Oh wow! You are correct.

I have no idea how that happened because we didn't do anything with the emotes. Thanks for letting us know and I'll create a thread for the Devs.

Actually, iolite, I noticed that the emotes don't appear at the end of the post anymore when you click on them. I looked at the source for the page and found a JavaScript code that makes emotes not appear at the end of the post. When they updated the markup to make it be able to wrap around text, they must have updated the emotes to not go at the end of the post as well.

Cupcake_Kitty - Just popping in quickly to say that if you are looking to use this emote, then if you type in " [fface_sad] " instead, then it will still show up as the Sad Face Femote.

Sorry - what I meant by not doing anything with the emotes was that we've not update the emotes themselves. In the first update, we actually replaced one emote but this time, none were updated. They did indeed fix it so that emotes wouldn't automatically go to the end of posts.

Apologies for the confusion.

When you hit the preview button, the time of your post is the time you started making it.  It is fixed when actually posting.

I am not positive it is new but if not I never noticed it before.

That's been there for a while, I reported it a few months ago.

It also says "Town" instead of ACCF/ACWW/ACGC Town, and the markup for HC's signatures doesn't show up. Here's a link from way back when.

Does anyone else have the problem where when you click on this face    It comes up on my message as

oh wait someone already mentioned this

KaminariKatt, yes it happens for everyone. It was a strange effect caused by the Bug fix release. it will hopefully be fixed soon. (:

I have a issue. Another user and I were swapping friend codes, but neither one of us is listed in the other's 'My Friend Codes' section. I tried to add him again and it said I already had his friend code, which I really don't. Not sure what can be done about this problem or if there is another place I should be reporting the issue.

I think this is because you have different games. (:

Make sure you both have the same game - if he has AC:WW and you have AC:CF, it won't show.

Thank you both, that IS the reason. I appreciate the help.
