Site's Back Up & Updates
« on: Friday, November 08, 2013, 03:23:15 AM »
First and foremost, we would like to apologise for the site's downtime.

We have not yet been familiarised with the specific and most logical reason as to why the website was down for so long but we do highly suspect it was due to some unexpected involvement of sheep and cows. Further details have not been disclosed either. Face-palm is the most convenient action to follow.

However, we did take the opportunity to change a few things, the most noticeable being the forum board layout. The old forum layout was too disorganised and chaotic to our my taste so I went ahead and changed it. As of today, the board layout is as follow:




Assist (Public Board)
- News (What goes here: Updates, Community Polls, General News & Staff Promotions/Demotions)
- Support (What goes here: General Support for Assist, Server Support and Honour Claims)
      ---- Honour Claim
      ---- Assist Support
      ---- Server Support

- Feedback & Suggestions (What goes here: Bug Reports, User feedback, Server feedback, Forum feedback, etc.)
      ---- Bug Report

America's Army (Public Board)
- General Chat (What goes here: Anything related to America's Army)
- Clans, Matches & Scrims (What goes here: Clan Info & Match/Scrim planning)
     ---- Clan Information
     ---- Clan Recruitment
     ---- Matches & Scrims

- Anti-Cheat
     ---- Hall of Shame
     ---- Background Checks
     ---- Ban Appeals

- mAAp Project (What goes here: All subjects pertaining to the mAAp Project)
     ---- Map Ideas

Community (Public Board)
- The Lounge (What goes here: General Discussion)
      ---- Introduce Yourself
      ---- Media & Art
      ---- Hardware/Software
      ---- Miscellaneous

- Games & Programming (What goes here: Game Chat, Game Reviews, Programming & Code)
      ---- Game Reviews




Next to each board there is a brief explanation of what goes where to better aid you understanding the new layout/organisation of the forum. Please bare in mind that although most of the topics have been moved to their proper places there's still a lot of micro-management and moderation to be done. Give it a few days and all will be in its right place.

P.S:. If you'd like to express opinions on the new layout, give general feedback or perhaps even accuse us of trillion levels of stupidity for caring so much about your experience and AAO, please do so in our newly born board "Feedback & Suggestions".





Best,
/Dan

Didn't want to start a topic for this, but do you really want to call it Hall of Fame?

Err, that was a error on my side. It was supposed to be Hall of Shame.

A fair error to make. It'll be corrected.

Gj, nice layout

The server list should be fixed, it's redirecting me to forum index ;)

First time I've been able to see it...

Looks great. I think you did a good job and made it easier to navigate.

Lay-out is good. This forum has always been really organised, which is for me the most important thing about a forum. Besides it's content obviously.
Just as Ganja the serverlist page redirects me to the forumindex.

I have no idea why that does that now... It should at least show you the ugly list...

It still redirects me to the forum index. It doesn't matter from which section of the site I attempt to go to the serverlist, it always redirects me to the forumindex.

I have absolutely no clue why its changed since all that I touched was the forum board layout and its board/user permissions. Unless the ServersList was feeding off of a particular post within the forum?! If this is that case than I'll probably have to update the thread-ID for the SSI-push.

I haven't tried to fix it :)

That's not the case. It's just a code that feeds from the same list that Assist does. Probably something got messed up in the htaccess or something. That'll be a headache.
