We're Back.

[Jason Tate]

I've put the website back up (because I know you missed us), the update is complete however not everything on the website has been ported over yet (artists, members, journals, reviews, gallery, the member profiles, and a few other smaller things), I hope to get everything back to normal quickly (but at least we're here). Enjoy the new features, I'll be making a post in detail about all of them as soon as the website's all perfect again.

[Paul Tao]

I'm going to be stealthy and be the first to post, before the rest of AP is up.

[mynamesdistance]

ah, beat me to it.

[deadandgone]

I'm going to be stealthy and be the first to post, before the rest of AP is up.

well done

[Caleb Cattivera]

fuck i was bored as shit for the last few hours. thanks for getting it back up tate.

[Lachrymal]

Damn Paul, you win, oh well, glad you're back!

[seans seatbelt]

I was gone doing shit for my birthday all night and didn't even notice.

On a related note, thank you Jason Tate for the email message about my birthday. However automated it was haha.

[the_narrator]

Good thing you're back. I have some homework to avoid, and you weren't giving me any reason to do so.

So are you saying little design changes are going to be changed soon too? Like it was right before the big shutdown?

[Jason Tate]

fuck i was bored as shit for the last few hours. thanks for getting it back up tate.
Welcome, now I just gotta get all the bugs worked out. Haha. Figured people would like a sort of buggy AP more than no AP at all.

Good thing you're back. I have some homework to avoid, and you weren't giving me any reason to do so.

What are you refering to?

[Jason Tate]

My favorite thing, Ajax enabled quick reply .. so .. fucking .. cool.

[boldt_action]

what exactly are the new features? ahh...i'm beginning to see them now...

[Jason Tate]

Click edit on your post, for one. There's a bunch of little things using ajax - a new, and very amazing technology.

[Paul Tao]

Ajax is SO COOL. You should try and learn how to do Aflax, I think it's called, which incorporates flash too. It's so sweet.

[boldt_action]

Click edit on your post, for one. There's a bunch of little things using ajax - a new, and very amazing technology. yeah i just used the edit function, very cool

Edit: Fuckin sweet!

[a typicalcliche]

Yah, but faster.

[Sureshot182]

yay! i'm so glad it's back up. i was lost tonight. oh my, i love you jason tate!

[Jonathan Lally]

hmmm.. testing.. glad AP is back, I needed a fucking fix.. I was twitching.

[AmIWrong]

hmmm

[Jason Tate]

Does this mean the ability to sort news posts by band is gone?
For right now, but I know how to fix it .. so don't worry, it will be back.

[tymsnurmn04]

Funny how you don't realize how pathetically dependent you are on a website till it's gone...
I think Tate and Tom(myspace) collectivly own my soul.

[muzik4lyf5000]

hmmmmmm this is turning into the most complex forum ever



the fast edit is awesome every board should use this. i'm going to edit all my posts every 5 seconds just cause of how sexy it is
The new buttons are lookin good too. even though I think the new ones on the front page are a bit too light

[thebestkylever]

you are the man jason tate... well you and chris connelly anyways...

[derricklc22]

cool
Haha, your avator is awesome.

[charly horse]

I was so bored, I even resorted to posting on KnifeParty forums.

[Jason Tate]

hmmmmmm this is turning into the most complex forum ever



the fast edit is awesome every board should use this. i'm going to edit all my posts every 5 seconds just cause of how sexy it is
I basically decided to do the upgrade for that feature alone, that and the expanding text boxes (click the little up/down arrows on the quick reply box to see what I mean)... once all of this is implimented throughout the entire page, you'll be able to edit your profile in real time, I'll be able to edit news in real time, and all the modules as well. It's going to be very cool.

[Darren McLeod]

Nice work, Jason.

[the_narrator]

What are you refering to?
I don't know what was up, but I was talking with people during the shutdown. Rick said he couldn't get on, but it came up for me. (For about two minutes, and then when the page refreshed it shutdown.) It looked like you had brought back the boxes, but a little differently. They looked more 3Dish, and I didn't see where the points were listed anymore. It also looked like it was based on Scene Reputation or power or something, instead of points, since some "General Forum Elites" had much shorter box lines than usual.

Also, two little icons appeared above each post, and one was a folder to add-subtract points. Both were red, but I can't remember what the second one was.

However, also every post came up with the full signature, and I really hoped you were going to fix it. So, I don't know how I ended up seeing that. Do I have superpowers?

Edit: Oh yes, really good job though. No complaints, I was just asking.

Haha, no superpowers, I put the website online for a 15 minutes to do some testing but had the main page down, so those who had everything else bookmarked (in the forums, etc.) could access it before I fixed that.

[preppyak]

Quick reply has been there for a while I just realized its potential a month or so ago. My guess is I figure out all the new features sometime around the point where it gets re-changed around late 2006

[Jason Tate]

Nice work, Jason.
Thank you :)

[Jason Tate]

Hahaha. I'll post a run down of some new things shortly! Just gotta fix the things that are still down.

[muzik4lyf5000]

Everyones going to be able to take back their retarded comments on the fly.

unless someone quotes them. but still its going to save alot kids asses.

and I don't really see the purpose of expanding the toolbar. will it make the news posts on the main page longer so that you won't have to go into the forum to read more?

[the_narrator]

Haha, no superpowers, I put the website online for a 15 minutes to do some testing but had the main page down, so those who had everything else bookmarked (in the forums, etc.) could access it before I fixed that.

:( Damn. Thanks for revealing to everyone that I had the forum bookmarked. Now I look obsessed. I went from superhuman to forum-whore. So are those design changes out?

[Jonathan Lally]

OK now maybe someone can answer this question because it's been bugging me forever. I know we have the ability to quote multiple posts/users in ONE reply and reply to them all separately in that one post.. but how do we do it? I've noticed if I quote everyone individually quickly it merges it all into one reply for me, but what if I want to quote everyone and take my time in the replies?! Can I select them all, and just be like "quote all those which are checked"? I am so confused.

No, it's just for .. say you're writing a really long post and you don't want to scroll up and down to see what you wrote, you can expand your the text box you're writing in to show all of your text at once ..

Not yet, but you will be able to VERY soon. I'll post when that feature goes live.

:( Damn. Thanks for revealing to everyone that I had the forum bookmarked. Now I look obsessed. I went from superhuman to forum-whore. So are those design changes out?
Most of them, yes, it was just the default templates that you saw, before I reverted them to my custom templates.

[Jonathan Lally]

When that day comes you'll hear my cries of joy from my rooftop worldwide.

Oh, okay, nice. I like this for the most part, now. I was just wondering if I was somehow a 1337 hacker, and had totally infiltrated your security system. All by pushing, Ctrl+123. So close, soooo close.

[charly horse]

:( Damn. Thanks for revealing to everyone that I had the forum bookmarked. Now I look obsessed. I went from superhuman to forum-whore. So are those design changes out?
Its okay, I used to have the forums bookmarked. Well, actually, I used to know the website address to the forums, so thats what I would type in instead of going through the process.

[ishotthepilot]

i was just in withdrawl all day, ha.
edit- sexy new edit box!! i'm like a manic typer so i always make tons of typos so i always have to be like going back... anyway, yay. someone buy Jason a drink.

When that day comes you'll hear my cries of joy from my rooftop worldwide.

ditto.

[irthesteve]

i like how in the general fourms you can jump to pages 1-6, 11, 51, 101, 501, 1001 or type in any page... seems like kinda random numbers thou

[boldt_action]

thank you for the go to page option, that'll be a timesaver when browsing through the latest ap.net hot drama thread

[Jason Tate]

yes, that

[Jason Tate]

10, 50, 100, 500, 1000.

It just adds the +1 to take in to account 50 pages from the first page.

[charly horse]

Can you bring back the pink layout?

[boldt_action]

i have a question, Tate, did you say you were gonna do the news on the front page in ajax as well? cause that would be amazing, no reloading, does life get better?

[AreTwoKay]

The updates are sweet

[Jason Tate]

i have a question, Tate, did you say you were gonna do the news on the front page in ajax as well? cause that would be amazing, no reloading, does life get better?
I'm going to *try* and do that .. I have most of the code working for it on the main page, but I have to test it for firefox/mozilla, etc.

[Jason Tate]

Can you bring back the pink layout?
Will do.

[vandalroyale]

Awesome-- Thanks Taters

[boldt_action]

[boldt_action]

okay, it works now.. this is how:

on each post there is a "speach bubble" icon if you want to quote that post in a new post, click that icon on each post you want to quote .. it will turn from a speach bubble into a speach bubble with a red quote mark inside of it. Then click "post reply" and all the posts that you clicked will be quoted in your new reply.

this works on any page .. so you can be on page one of a thread, click the icon on .. then read the rest of the thread see something on page 5 you want to respond to .. click the icon on .. then click post reply on page 10 and it will quote everything in the thread you've clicked it on. it also works from other threads.. so you can click it on from a post in a completely different part of the website .. click post reply in this thread, and it will quote it.

Note it works on all posts except the last post of a thread, because if you want to quote that one - you should click "quote" instead of "post reply."

[when 4ever ends]

you should make a sticky on how to use all this stuff
