"Implementation of daily, Full Database backup system."

About that, will there be a downtime like EAUK had?

If we ever get as big as all of EA UK, yes.

I am not quite happy with the new thumbs up/down.

Because once your "liked" a post, it looks very weird - as if the post had "x" downvotes. I liked the "nailed it" much better.

Not sure where you're getting the "downvote" idea from.

One thumbs up = 1 pt. If they were downvotes, it would list them at -1 and so on.

Look at my screenshot.



Once you gave a post a "thumbs up" it shows i.e. "10x [thumbs down icon]"

I do understand that clicking the red "thumb down" again would just remove my "thumb up". But it just looks very misleading the way it is now.

Yeah, it took me a while to get that too. IMO it would be clearer with just a grey thumbs up icon or something, or maybe the other way around where the icon is greenand turns gray when you click it

[DeltaHawk5]

There, it's fixed.

[infinite.loop]

There, it's fixed.

Now the icon stays green even after I voted. I like

Moving the mouse over the button brings up a "Thumbs down!" hover message.


I don't want to be a pain in the ass but why was this even changed? The "nailed it" was great. Some technical issue that forced the change?

Don't worry about it.

BTW, this page http://www.mordorhq.com/thumbs_center.php has the "latest thumbs" box transparent which means that you can't see much because of the arma 3 background text. Supposed to be that way?

Also, this seems to make the news posts that are in the sidebar very hard to read in some cases

The box doesn't even show up for me.

New style makes you site feel fresh.

I'm aware of the issue, I just didn't have time to run through the code and fix it before an exam I had today.

[Mjolnir]

Don't worry about it.

How about you answer the question instead?

[infinite.loop]

The LikeCenter needs some CSS love (a solid background for the content area)

*EDIT* nevermind, @eatmedrinkme already mentioned that.

[SkacikPL]

What happened to the chatbox?
Even clicking at the topbar "Live Chat" link takes you to FAQ about smileys.

[DeltaHawk5]

Chatbox is fixed now.

Any update on the thumbs-center? It doesn't work at all for me, showing no likes given, received etc.

You sure you have any?

[Squadwin]

Loving the new MORDORHQ title but the backround could be better. Maybe have something more out-linish for arma 3, perhaps a soldier on the left?
