[12:24] Chruser: The "Introduce Yourself" forum may be a good place to start: http://zelaron.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=333

[12:28] Lenny: We really do need some sort of pop-up when there are posts to approve, Chruser. :p

[12:47] Chruser: jamer123, yes, I heard. It's under investigation.

[12:51] System: !King_Amazon! has joined the chat

[12:51] !King_Amazon!: Actually, it has been handled.

[12:53] System: WetWired has joined the chat

[12:53] WetWired: Down to just the threadbit and search result templates on Synth

[12:53] WetWired: Also need to convert the AJAX tabs fix to a plugin

[12:54] WetWired: Need to make sure the chatbox works on 3.7

[12:54] Chruser: Very nice!

[12:54] WetWired: After that, I think we're ready

[12:54] Chruser: Frightening.

[12:55] Chruser: I backed up the Zelaron files yesterday. I stll need to download a tarball of the database.

[12:55] WetWired: I've also converted most of the minor template modifications into plugins so we don't have to maintain the templates any more

[12:55] WetWired: Non-Synthesis styles use the default postbit template, for instance

[12:55] System: miller72 has joined the chat

[12:55] miller72: HEY CHRUSER I POSTED OVER 5 SO HOW DO I GET THE AVATAR

[12:56] WetWired: No need for a tarball of the database; it's already one file

[12:56] System: Lenny has joined the chat

[12:56] Lenny: Ooooh! When did 3.7 come out?

[12:56] !King_Amazon!: Miller, you need to read the rules

[12:56] !King_Amazon!: http://zelaron.com/forum/faq.php?

[12:56] Chruser: So prospective updates to 3.x (post 3.7) should be painless?

[12:56] !King_Amazon!: If you keep posting like you are, you're probably going to get banned

[12:56] WetWired: After you get banned, you can try not using caps

[12:56] miller72: K THATNKS

[12:56] miller72: sorry

[12:57] WetWired: In theory

[12:57] WetWired: Synthesis still has a lot of template edits

[12:57] WetWired: Really, there's still quite a few template edits all over, but probably less than half as many as before

[12:57] !King_Amazon!: Synthesis still has a lot of template edits

[12:57] WetWired: Mostly due to getting rid of the transparent version

[12:58] WetWired: Which required a ton of trivial edits to mark what could be transparent and what couldn't

[12:59] Chruser: The x79 series lacked pragmatism anyway. Semi-transparent images in posts are useless.

[13:00] Chruser: Anyway, nice work WW! I think most of the members who will attend the meeting on Sunday will be unaware of the upcoming 3.7 changes.

[13:00] System: miller72 has joined the chat

[13:01] Lenny: Transparency issues? I might have a fix for that - uses stylesheets.

[13:01] Lenny: Only for PNGs, though.

[13:01] !King_Amazon!: How long do we anticipate the rest of the update will take?

[13:01] Chruser: While we've maintaining momentum, we could probably put an ad on SA as well. Perhaps a review or two from Raziel (who has expressed his interest in helping out) wouldn't be so bad...

[13:02] WetWired: Once the styles are complete, I just have to check out the chatbox and we should be ready to move to 3.7

[13:02] WetWired: We can do vBA as a separate update

[13:03] Chruser: Lenny, as an example: http://www.zelaron.com/forum/showthr...e=2&styleid=29

[13:03] System: !King_Amazon! has left the chat

[13:03] WetWired: Lenny, we can't do the kind of transparency we need with PNGs

[13:03] WetWired: Well, we could, but it would be complicated

[13:03] WetWired: Which is the reason we're abandoning it

[13:03] WetWired: We don't want to maintain it anymore

[13:04] Lenny: Fair enough.

[13:04] Chruser: Personally, I think VBA should be included in the update package assuming it won't delay the upgrade too much.

[13:04] WetWired: It will

[13:04] Chruser: How much?

[13:05] WetWired: I spent 2 weeks on the vBA integration for 3.6

[13:06] WetWired: I can salvage much of that work, but there's a new vBA version for 3.7, so...

[13:06] Chruser: All right, dichotomy it is.

[13:06] System: miller72 has left the chat

[13:07] Chruser: Activity should still be maintainable. During the meeting, we'll discuss the advantages of decreasing the scope of the forum somewhat to focus more on gaming.

[13:08] System: miller72 has joined the chat

[13:08] WetWired: You deleted a triple post by miller72 and didn't instaban him, Chruser?

[13:08] Chruser: Activity at the moment is okay, but it'll likely plummet into oblivion again unless we keep making adjustments.

[13:08] Chruser: Wasn't it a quadro-post or something?

[13:09] WetWired: probably

[13:09] System: miller72 has left the chat

[13:09] Chruser: He seems to be around. Perhaps he'll provide a reason for me not to ban him?

[13:09] Chruser: Scratch that thought.

[13:10] WetWired: Anyway, I'm out

[13:10] System: miller72 has joined the chat

[13:10] System: WetWired has left the chat

[13:11] Chruser: miller72, read the rules. Most members who break them at least manage to do it with style: http://www.zelaron.com/forum/faq.php

[13:12] miller72: thanks i finally got it

[13:13] Chruser: By the way, nice Snake score.

[13:14] System: miller72 has left the chat

[13:15] Chruser: Perhaps allowing the chatbox to exist in the arcade would bring more of the arcade players into the rest of the Zelaron community.
