I was playing around with the skin editor...without permission or anything... and I accidentally changed the forum colors to the skin I created. I can't quite figure out how to change it back, but I sort of like the new one. (But then, I would.) Anyhow, I don't know if Stynky will keep it or not, but it was sort of fun to play with. (As you may have noticed, I am a fan of the old colors - the browns we had before we upgraded the first time. I did hate that dark colored woody background we used to have, but the browns are piratey IMO. Blue is Facebooky.)

Am I a monkey with me brain covered with barnacles and infested with toredo worms, or is the "Members" link not functioning properly? I was trying to pull up the list of all the members on the forum and see what some of my shipmates have posted over time, etc., but every time I click on "Members" I only get my own profile. Maybe you are still careening the Pub, and it's not quite shipshape in Bristol Fashion yet??? Thanks for looking into it, and for your reply. -Tar Bucket Bill

After careful consideration, weighed against cost and use, it's been decided that the image gallery should be removed. With so many popular, online, image storage sites available, we feel that we cannot justify the cost of maintaining an image gallery. There are more simple ways to store and link images to the Pub, so we'll be taking the gallery down at some point in the next few weeks. Please save any images that you don't have stored or linked offsite. We will continue to archive all other materials on the Pub, as we always have, but the gallery's time has come and gone.

As much as I hate to press advertising on everyone, as part of my agreement with Bloody - its how I’m paying for the Pub.

I checked my settings last week when I was initially having issues and I thought that did it but I am still not getting results when I click on the View New Content link. Has something here been changed?

Stynky has done a really good job of keeping the forum software up-to-date. The folks behind the software have a user group which comes up with cool new ideas that get added whenever the software is updated, but that aren't explained to us plebians. I happened to find this one by accident, and it's worth sharing: You'll find it on every forum index page (including 'View New Content' and 'Recent Postings' as I've shown here). It allows you to see a brief preview of the first post on the forum index pages so that you don't actually have to go into the post to view it and then back out again to get to the forum index page again. (That may be confusing...just move your mou…

There is something going on with character encoding, as of this morning. When I logged on this morning, the 2 ö's (lower case "o" with 2 dots above it) in my user name had been replaced with �'s (a diamond with a question mark in the middle.) I was using Safari as my browser, so I tried to take a look at my profile using Firefox, but I couldn't log in (I am always logged on Safari) Firefox doesn't recognize either the ö or the � during log-in, so I can't log in at all using Firefox. I thought that this might be a Mac problem, so I tried logging on with my Windows XP laptop. Same thing pretty much. IE 7 (7.0.5730.13, if that matters) shows the ö as 2 horizonta…

I am a big fan of search functions on forums as I sometimes use them to type in things I want to use later or copy into my notes. But have you ever had the problem where you search a forum and you come up with a thread with dozens of pages of replies? The forum (so far) doesn't take you directly to the page where the search term came up. However, I stumbled across something that may be helpful just now. If you are inside of a particular thread, you can search that thread only and the search function will produce all the posts that contain the word you want. So rather than clicking through dozens of the pages, all you have to do is select the thread containing the term an…

Ahoy Shipmates, A couple days ago, on January 20th - the company that hosts our Pyracy.com web and email servers had a security breach. Unauthorized activity was detected in one of the company databases and immediately shut down. No one's email, user data, or personal information was accessed. However it's strongly advised that if you have an @pyracy.com email account, that you have your email password changed. If you have an @pyracy.com email account, contact Stynky to have your email password changed. As a precautionary measure, I urge everyone on Pyracy Pub to change their Pyracy.com login password. If anyone has any issues or problems accessing their Pyracy.com o…

For the past week I have had trouble moving from one thread to another, sometimes I have to go to the history and click on the links I have already been to in order to exit the one I'm in. If I use the "back" arrow it takes two or three clicks to get out of a thread and the google address comes up in between one thread and the next. Is this in my computer or is there something going on with the pub that would make this happen? Thanx! Bo

The Pub is doing some major renovation and reorganization of the Raids, Boarding Parties & Pyrate Events forums. Those of you that Moderate Event Forums in the Raids, Boarding Parties & Pyrate Events section will likely be bumped from your Moderator duties, with the threads in those event forums being consolidated into a single event thread. In rare instances where the amount of conversation threads warrant the need of an event forum – a forum will be made to support that event. Until this mess is cleaned up and gets it's sea legs, the Raids, Boarding Parties & Pyrate Events forum will be closed until further notice.

In the ( old ) scheme of things, we use to be able to have a profile picture, that displayed in profile and a user avatar image that displayed when making posts. The recent software upgrade seems to have broken this - and I'm sorry to say I don't see an easy fix. In any case - it appears our user avatars and profile pictures are one in the same now.

In each forum section, there are great threads that have gotten buried and asked again. I'm thinking that there should be one thread w/ internal links to the main, most interesting, and best reference threads in that section. This way, there won't be too many sticky/pinned threads at the top of a section (keeping it clean), while still having a way for someone to find a relevant w/o having to dig through piles of replies. Ex: In Captain Twill, there are great threads on flags, cannons/guns, various historical elements (like the period company logos one I just re-asked). A way to format a one thread "To good to be buried" would be: Flags- -Construction- Thread thr…

Some of you who do not follow the Pyracy Pub's status on Facebook will have noted that the Pub was down for many days. Please let me explain. The company that handles our overall service and carries the Pub on their servers were updating their entire system and software. The Pub has a number of custom written codes and protocols that help reduce spam and traffic issues, and which also increase our posting capacities and archiving. So in addition to new software, these custom codes for the Pub created a connection issue during the transition, so some code had to be re-written. We appreciate your patience. We assure you that everything is carefully archived and we kee…
