Site Announcements / Veterans
« on: 24 Oct 2011, 09:11:40 »
This post is just to clear a few things up about VIPs and Veterans...

Veterans are NOT always people who have been playing right from the start. They are old VIPs (from before V5). As you may or may not know the VIP system is changing in V5. If you don't know I will post somewhere explaining briefly the changes which are coming into place.

The VIP rank will be used for the 'new class' of VIPs once the V5 Donation system is released.

BOO

Halloween theme added to the site!

Site Announcements / Live Support is Back!
« on: 21 Sep 2011, 19:10:47 »
You read it right.

The live support system is back online, finally after sorting out my hosting issues I have recoded it, and re-enabled it. It is up for a trial run currently, and may be removed at any moment should an issue arise, but anyway until then...

Enjoy your LIVE Support on the site!

Site Announcements / Back!
« on: 19 Sep 2011, 18:00:12 »
Sorry for the sudden downtime, but there was an urgent update needed for the forum software we were using.

Whilst we were down I decided I would install a new mod, which makes the forum urls look a lot nicer (as you should be able to see) I hope you enjoy the little things like this ;).

More updates will be coming very soon!

Site Announcements / Applications
« on: 13 Aug 2011, 15:25:50 »
After being away for a week I am back :D...

Anyway, on with information about the new feature I have 'added'...
You can now 'Ignore' the Membership Application board. Even I have noticed that it is quite annoying with the number of topics being created for applications, when they have nothing to do with you. I have now enabled a feature allowed you to 'Ignore' any posts made in the Applications board. When it is ignored new posts will not show up using the "unread post" option at the top of the page, this should remove some of it's annoying factor.

Anyway to 'Ignore' the Membership Application board simply go:
Profile > Modify Profile > Ignore Boards Options > Tick the box next to 'Membership Application' > Click 'Change profile'.

This should be a nice feature as I do understand that having to read through every application which isn't anything to do with you is annoying. You can however still do that if you want, by default you will not be ignoring the board ;).

Enjoy,

Site Announcements / In Game Names
« on: 4 Aug 2011, 18:25:54 »
It has come to my attention that a number of forum users (who registered before the 31st May) haven't set themselves an In-game username. This is going to be an issue in the future as features we are planning to add may require the use of your Minecraft username.

I am therefore requesting that if you haven't set an In-game username (IGN) please do so now. I am giving you enough advanced warning for you to do this before any future features which require the name are released. If you don't have an in-game name set by that time (I will give you the date much closer to it actually happening) then your forum account may be edited, banned or removed.

How to set your IGN on the forum
Profile > Modify Profile > Forum Profile > IGN (Simply enter your in-game username in the box next to that) > Save

If you already have an IGN set, then you just need to sit back, play Noobstown and relax. ;)

Thanks,
- ItsLawrence

Site Announcements / Welcome Back!
« on: 27 Jul 2011, 22:50:28 »
Maintenance update over and everything went to plan, so...

Welcome to the newest version of the Noobscraft site! I hope you like it.

This version includes our very own custom site theme, and of course the live support system :). The forum has been tidied up a little too, hope you enjoy it all until the next version :).

Site Announcements / Scheduled Site Maintenance
« on: 26 Jul 2011, 22:38:04 »
As was explained a few days ago in just under 24hours the site will be going down for maintenance no matter what the current state of the server at the time.

The site will be down from 22:00 BST until midnight of the same night BST. During this time no content will be accessible.

You can find out what times it will be in your area by clicking here: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=3&iso=20110727T22&p1=136&ah=2

Obviously if issues arise then the timescale may increase however this is very unlikely.

Thanks,

Server Announcements / Server Down
« on: 25 Jul 2011, 22:55:09 »
Don't fear, we haven't forgotten about it, we do know it is down.

The server is currently being updated to allow Joe to access the files on the server directly rather than by code. This should make things run a lot smooter in the future.

Sorry for any problems/boredom the downtime may have caused, but don't worry it won't be down for 'too much' longer now ;).

Site Announcements / Avatars
« on: 24 Jul 2011, 14:58:07 »
The filesize and image size of avatars has now been increased from 100px x 100px to 150px x 150px, just a small update, but it means most of the current avatars are a lot smaller than they are able to be.

If you uploaded an avatar before this update you may want to re-upload it as the size it now displays at may have increased.

Site Announcements / Error Message
« on: 23 Jul 2011, 23:20:57 »
I would like to inform all those who may have received the following message when attempting to attach something to this site:
Quote
The upload folder is full. Please try a smaller file and/or contact an administrator.

That the attachments folder size has now been increased to a limit that won't be reached for a long time, you can now upload attachments again, sorry for any problems which may have occured due to this setting error.

Towns & Nations / V4 Towns
« on: 22 Jul 2011, 17:35:19 »
I have locked all old town topics, in order to reduce confusion.

Please create a new topic if you make a town in V4, even if you already had a town in V3 which had its own topic.

Site Announcements / V4 Site Information
« on: 20 Jul 2011, 22:00:30 »
Whilst I am aware that the server is going to be released to VIPs in just a few hours (all going to plan)...

The updates to the site will not be happening until the 29th at the earliest (maybe the 30th) This is good planning on Joe's part/not telling me the new dates.

I am therefore giving you a warning for scheduled forum maintenance on the 28th (mid-afternoon-ish BST more exact times closer to the date)

The site will be down for all users while we integrate the updates which should include the Live Support, plus some more fun things which you should notice at the time. Until then have fun foruming...

- ItsLawrence

NB. Post any questions you may have about the 'FORUM' updates below (even though no one ever replies to my topics, so I doubt anyone will).

Site Announcements / ONE MILLION
« on: 11 Jul 2011, 20:17:04 »
I would just like to announce that according to the Noobscraft forum statistics, we have had over 1,000,000 page views since we opened this forum! Well done :D.

Those stats may not be geeky enough for some, so as we reached a benchmark I thought I would let you have a few more geeky stats:

Since moving to this host (May 29th) on the site we have:
  • Loaded 20,746,778 KBytes of files
  • Loaded 2,285,352 pages
  • Loaded 3,515,604 files
  • And had 4,038,297 generalised hits!
As of when this post was written.

Hope you enjoy! Lets see how long it takes to reach 2million! :D.

Site Announcements / Forum VIPs
« on: 25 Jun 2011, 19:44:08 »
To encourage donation, and make sure you get the most out of donating to the server all users who donate no matter how little (obviously enough for the order to be processed etc.) will now receive a new forum rank of 'VIP'.

These users currently get a nice 'golden' username around the site, and a special rank under their name, but in the future many more updates will come into practice with the forum VIP; include the possiblity of VIP boards etc.



How do I get forum VIP?
Simply donate. Click the tab at the top of the site or visit http://www.noobscraft.com/index.php/topic,39.0.html#msg363 and follow the instructions there, you will then be given the forum rank along with the other gifts you should receive as part of your donation.



Don't forget you can donate at any time, and every little does help:
http://www.noobscraft.com/index.php/topic,39.0.html#msg363



If you have donated but haven't yet received your Forum VIP rank/other VIP gifts please PM Joe and he will allocate/contact me to add it ;).

Other / Information about the 'Rainbow Smiley'
« on: 22 Jun 2011, 18:16:21 »
In a recent conversation on the server I explained that I would post this:

(It is my topic in the staff board about the evil rainbow smiley. I can announce it has now been removed! :D Happy days!)
I don't mind people installing new smileys (because I am not the owner obviously) but why has whoever installed possibly the most annoying thing on the planet at this current moment?

I am talking about the :tyja: thing? It is something forged by the devil yet was added; WHY? It is really really annoying, plus rather large to be a smiley?

Just wondering to be honest why it was added? I have no objections with it staying (*cough*) but WHY? lol

Site Announcements / Forum Upgraded
« on: 21 Jun 2011, 19:22:28 »
Sorry about the recent downtime here on the forum, I was upgrading to the latest version of our forum software.

The upgrade was successful. I will begin to re-add the tabs etc. now ;).

Enjoy.

Site Announcements / Updated Smileys
« on: 21 Jun 2011, 18:58:52 »
I have updated the proper smileys so that they all follow a specific theme, there are many which replace the old ones, but also some new 'fun' ones. You may have seen them somewhere very famous before but they look nice (in my opinion) so I decided we are now going to use them ;).

I hope you enjoy:
 :) :( :P :D :O ;) 8) 8| >:( :/ :'( 3:) O:) :* :3

Noobstown General / Evil Moat
« on: 18 Jun 2011, 01:14:53 »
Whoever owns this house:

Has put in an evil moat, and protected the land :(. I am now stuck in it, but don't want to lose my location :@ Could you atleast put a ladder allowing people to get out?

Site Announcements / Boards...
« on: 14 Jun 2011, 17:21:43 »
I have fixed an issue with posting permissions for many of the boards around the site, you should now be able to post and reply to topics in most boards. Excluding the news areas and the competitions board. If you are unable to do this please PM me.

Sorry for any problems caused by the errors before, but they should now be fixed.

Site Announcements / New Homepage!
« on: 11 Jun 2011, 22:45:33 »
Finally after nearly a week of development I have decided to release it :P...

This is a pretty large update for the site...

There is now a 'Homepage' to the site as you should all be able to clearly see. This homepage has all of the important information from Noobstown. I will talk about a few of the things on the homepage in more detail now:

Starting on the left we have a "Who's Online" list followed by the forum statistics :D. Then as we move over slightly the middle column has the most stuff, this includes a news scroller (which will have news in it in the future as we get more news :P) then below the news scroller is the latest news from both the forum and the server! The right column then has connection details for the ultimate noobs, plus a list of the most recent posts on the forum...it also has the top posters on the forum (5 of them, if you aren't already but can get onto the list I will be impressed :D). The homepage also offers us the option to clearly give you announcements!

I hope this makes finding information and using the site a lot more fun. Obviously this is a homepage so to view the forum you will need to click the "Forum" tab at the top :). (This is slightly annoying to start with but you get used to it :D).

Sorry about the randomness of that post, I am not very good at posting things like this without doing it slowly (which I haven't here) so I hope you can understand the waffle above...

Enjoying the update,
- ItsLawrence

Server Announcements / WHITE-LIST INFORMATION
« on: 5 Jun 2011, 21:53:41 »
General Information
The while-list is only in place during periods of maintenance currently.

Why does it say I am not white-listed then?
If it says you aren't white-listed then it is most likely that the server is down for maintenance! (Check the 'Server Announcements' board for information there may be about this.)
