Yeah...i sounded like a complete jack A** lol.

I just hate all the fighting.

*starts rocking*

Out of curosity though, is Brian the only one that has to fix all the problems or does he have a team or something? Cause if what I understand is correct, 2 million+ boards is a lot for 1 or 2 people.

Mine! Or I will help you not.

I think there's misunderstanding here. Brian being a newborn father is not what is holding this up. It simply accounts for his decrease in activity only. Brandon is the one that fixes the bugs. And it's because he is busy that there is a delay. But as mentioned before, that busy period is soon coming to an end and I know he has an update in the works as well. So once this bug is fixed and he has some free time, hopefully a lot of things will start moving.

As to where the money goes. Nicolas has it right. A large part of premium is that it offers features that could not be run on all boards. Premium helps pick up that cost. Ad removal and any other services all tend to go right back into the servers and hosting.

Awesome, thanks for the response Stephen...I think that'll clear it up for a few others as well.

I was not implying that he shouldn't be sleeping or something, that's absolutely ridiculous. It was a simple question as to more of a time zone thing for example, if he were in an EST American time zone I wouldn't check for updated after 6 pm EST or before 8 am EST because I'd expect him to be doing other things at those times. Not that he should dedicate all other time here, simply that those are times I would KNOW not to be looking for some sort of update.

I am an incredibly understanding person as to the fact that you and the rest of the Staff cannot dedicate all your time, I just wanted to know when I should be looking for updates and when I shouldn't so I could adjust my schedule to theirs and check according to their times so I wouldn't be wasting mine.

I appreciate all work the staff is doing and I am in no way rushing it.

Brandon, Brian and myself are on Eastern time. However, we all keep odd hours. Brian tends to be on in the mornings and afternoon. I tend to be on the evening until about 12am or 1am. Sometimes 2. Brandon's time depends on what he's doing. He's been on very late from 2am-5am at times. It really just depends on what is going on outside of Zetaboards. If he has nothing else to worry about (school), he may be on into those late hours.

I am assuming that there is nothing we (those that have been effected by the theme bug) need to do. I am under the impression that the fix will be across all the boards and we shouldn't be sending in tickest or anything saying that our board was one of effected. Is this the case?

That is correct. At this point we have more than enough tickets regarding this problem. When the bug is fixed, an announcement will be made. If you are still having trouble after the announcement, please send in a support ticket then.

Honestly, I don't understand why people are getting into such a tizzy over such a small bug. Besides the fact that the staff has lives to attend to, isn't it better for them to take their time fixing the bug? That way, the bug is more apt to be fixed properly, because things weren't rushed.

I have one question, to that end. I know that there's a bug that has to be fixed, but have all the conversions completed? I opted in for a conversion ASAP in late May, but my forum has yet to be converted. And if so, will it be converted in the next round, or do I have to re-opt in for conversion? I apologize if I sound impatient, but I just want to be sure of this so I can give my forum's members a definite answer on this. :)

It's fixed!

Thank you to the staff and a big hug to to the man behind the curtain!

I know this was a "small" issue in some people's eyes but it was a huge concern for me, my admins and members.

Anyway I appreciate the effort put in to fix this and I'm glad to be fully operational on Zetaboards.

It does not appear to be fixed for big boards. I am unsure how they did the theme anyways. :blink:

Nicolas, what are you playing at... :glare:

I checked BB and it seems to have fixed there as well. However, it seems to be taking some time to fix across all boards - my test board, for example, is not fixed yet.

Is the process of converting being gone back over or something?


I went back and edited it and it appears to be fixed and done now. For anyone else that thinks it isn't fixed, don't be foolish like me and only look at the theme chooser. :P
