Forum update and info

[DanTheMan]

In an effort to make routine maintenance easier and more predictable I have made some changes to how the forum and its files are handled. All files, except the ones uploaded by users, are now handled through a Subversion repository, making it easier for me to track changes to the source code.

While I was messing about with the code I also took the time to upgrade the attachment mod (the thing that makes it possible to attach files to posts) to the latest version.

If you notice any bugs in the forum or the attachment function, please notify me!


Important: Since people kept posting non-private info in the private forum I have made it available/readable to everyone. You still need to be a registered NAR member to post there though.

Uhhh... Doesn't that compromise our race servers passwords, among others?

What about all the stuff some people have been telling about their ex-wives (as an example)? I fear some people are gonna get a beating now!

I woud prefer let the private section private, but take the time to make a instruction sheet of message to let know to all as a reminder what is suppose to be post in witch category.

Private : password, server, internal discussion, bla, bla
Public : sofware, computer, graphic, race discussion, bla, bla
Open : outside discussion...

i think a clear discussion from all woud take things back. Yes too mutch thing are said in private, but we all need reminder on alot of things, this woud be the time to do it.

So can Private stay private as it was?

Ok, I've changed it back so that only NAR members can read the private forum.

Make sure it is used only for really private stuff!

Just to prove a point I moved a bunch of topics. If anyone feels one of the moved topics really should be in the private area let me know!

I'm too lazy to move all topics...
