Sorry folks, smileys in email should be fixed now. Let us know if you're still experiencing any problems.

Sorry about that!

OK I did something on the servers to try to fix the problem. Let me know if it is still happening...

Sorry for the inconvenience folks!

Sorry about that folks - emoticons should be working again in mail. Let us know if you are still experiencing problems.

How often is it happening? Once every 10 pages? 100 pages?

Can you tell me what page you are trying to view when it happens? Is it on the forums, where you are trying to view a topic? Is it when you are trying to view a person's profile?

If you can be more specific, it would be very helpful to us in tracking down the bug.

Have you tried hitting Refresh on your browser? Or clearing your browser cache?

SOrry, this should be fixed now. Let me know if for some reason its still not working.

Sorry folks, we should have it fixed in a second...

I think the issue is that the Blackberry network may cache pages on the internet, so until the cache clears, he may see the site down notice. Hopefully it should clear shortly.

Has he tried hitting refresh on his browser? I don't have a Blackberry so I'm not familiar with how the browser works on it, but maybe that would help...

OK great, let us know if it stops working again.

Are you still having this issue? If so, how are you accessing the internet - at work? through AOL or some other ISP? on your phone? And can you tell me what browser and operating system you are using?

Also, is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Have you tried clearing your browser cache on the blackberry?

Biker - have you tried clearing your browser cache?

Hi everyone,

We need to take the site down tonight for some site maintenance. Maintenance will begin at 10PM and should be finished by 11PM. The site will be down and inaccessible during this period.

Sorry for the inconvenience. If we can finish sooner, we'll get the site back up as soon as we can.

Thanks for your patience, and hope you are all enjoying the site.

Mike

We're planning on adding something that will allow that, but for now, you have to type it in manually.

We disabled images in mail. There is too much potential for abuse by the wrong types of members.

Sorry Becca, they are case sensitive right now so you need to use lower-case. We will change them to make them case-insensitive shortly...

We are looking at possibly adding a little text editor where, like Microsoft Word or something, you could just click the Bold button and the text you have highlighted would be bolded. But these new codes will at least give you some formatting options for now until we can get the text editor created.

Hi everyone,

I'm pleased to announce that we've added a bunch of new bbcode formatting options to the forums. You can now change the color and font size of your text. You can also insert images into your posts, and make links active with the url tag. Here's a list of the bbcodes we currently support:

Bold face:
[b]Bolded text[/b] makes Bolded text

Italic:
[i]Italicized text[/i] makes Italicized text

Underline:
[u]Underlined text[/u] makes Underlined text

Monospaced text:
[code]Monospaced text[/code] makes

Monospaced text

Insert image:
[img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7c/Go-home.svg/100px-Go-home.svg.png[/img] makes

Links:
[url]http://www.google.com[/url] makes http://www.google.com
and
[url=http://www.google.com]takes you to Google[/url] makes takes you to Google

Colored text:
[color=red]Red[/color] makes Red, most standard color names will work. Hex color codes like color=#123456 are also supported.

Font size:
[size=big]Big text[/size] makes Big text. Options are small or big, or a number from 8 to 20 for the font size in pixels.


IMPORTANT NOTE ON BBCODES

We hope you will enjoy these new formatting features. However, we ask you to follow the following guidelines:

URL links that are being used to promote other websites will be removed immediately. No advertising or self-promotion is allowed on the mingle2 forums, and posters who violate this rule will be suspended or banned.

IMG links that link to controversial/disturbing/offensive images will also be removed immediately and the poster will be suspended or banned. No nudity, obscene gestures, suggestive photos, or images of illegal activities are allowed. Images must be PG-13, NOT rated R or X. We will be very strict on this policy, and violators will be treated harshly.

Please use the new codes IN MODERATION. Users who abuse the new codes by using them excessively in an annoying posting style will be warned and could lose their privileges to use the codes or post on the forums at all. We'll be somewhat lenient on this, but we just don't want people abusing the codes to make very difficult to read/annoying posts. Please be polite in your use of the codes.

Most of the new codes will work in your mail messages as well. However, the URL and IMG codes will NOT work in mail messages. This is because we are concerned that spammers and other bad users will abuse the codes, and that they will be more difficult for us to police in mail messages. The other new codes, like font size and color, will work fine.

Thanks everyone! Hope you are all enjoying the site.
