 "Return to forum after posting" [Update] |
|

Today we see a new option in the 'Post Reply' and 'New Thread' pages.
Under the text entry for your 'post' you see
"Miscellaneous Options"
In there you will see
"Return to forum after posting"
This will do as it says, once your message is posted, it will mark it as 'read' then return you to the forum which you posted in.
At the moment default behavior is as it was, it will show your post.
Update:
There is now the same option on Quick Reply, except it will take you to the page where you came from.
When you use these 'checkboxes' the 'setting' will be saved on your machine for later use by your browser, none of these settings are sent to us!

Big News !! July 25, 2008 !! |

Big news, but a little history first.
I started running game servers 10 years ago, when I talked a local ISP into hosting my first Quake 2 server. That local ISP was called "Netside" later renamed Logicsouth. Logicsouth was later purchased and the new owners were kind enough to allow us to stay, and continue to use their bandwidth.
For years the number of servers we could run were limited by two things, CPU/hardware available and bandwidth available. These limitations are not present on leased servers like our ranked BF2/2142 boxes but then the limiting factor QUICKLY becomes money, because those servers are very expensive to rent monthly.
OK, fast forward to today. Logicsouth is doing better than ever financially and has opened new lines of business to run very high speed fiber optic into new housing subdivisions. This service has necessitated them substantially increasing their available bandwidth, so that limiting factor for our servers housed there was fading away. The next limiting factor was hardware.
I decided to use our .3 box to host our new forums, so we lost it for gaming, however to be honest it was getting a little old to be running the newest game servers - with the player counts I prefer. So the only box I had available for games was the .2 box, which is home to our wildly successful COD4 TDM Server. There was a time when the .2 was cutting edge and I built it to run 32 player UT 2004 ONS - which was also wildly successful.
Back to us, so we set up new Forums and started soliciting and collecting subscriptions and donations -- to pay the bills and purchase a new server - so we could run more games.
A few weeks back I took all our subscriptions, all our donations, the money we "won" from that 2142 server many of you participated in, and a substantial contribution from our very own BlackArrow .. and bought us a new kick-ass-fire-breathing server !!!
