Board Problems, Suggestions and Updates

[Puraidou]

I third that, it's really annoying to see people just re-upload stuff they didn't even touch or edit and get the downloads/recognition for it..

[??_?]

I'm curious.
Could we add a rule in the forum rules about those "mega packs" of textures people put out on the Vault? You could group it along with plagiarism.

While I agree that they shouldn't be getting credit for other peoples hacks that they compile, its ridiculous to collab that many people, and these packs get much more downloads than most of the individual hacks on them. They also take a really long time to make, and I don't think it'd be right to discourage people from making them. So idk

I agree with this. And...

Recolors have always existed, why are we hunting them now? ._.

Seriously, the only one that should report these recolors are the creators of the hacks, you guys shouldn't voice the complain for them.

[Miacis]

How about this for a compromise then ...?

In the case of posting "Hack Mega Packs", if crediting or collabing every author proves too difficult, the uploader may add a text file in the pack, referencing the authors of all the hacks included and, if possible, a link to their BrawlVault.
If an author wasn't credited in that text file and asks for his name to be added, the uploader of the "Mega Pack" needs to add him in ASAP.

^ This.
It has been said a hundred times, but we won't accept any form of "white knight"-ing on plagiarism matters. If the original author doesn't manifest his disagreement, to us it counts as if he gave his private approval

I'm pretty sure nothing got lost or broken in the move, but if you find anything, let me know here or via PM or via my spiffy new e-mail. However you want. And I'll fix it.

After I sleep for a bit.

Edit: Already found and fixed one involving avatar uploads.

Edit 2: Actually, use this thread instead of this one for reporting errors.

Welcome home Kc ^_^

[KTH]

Apparently some people still can't log on on KCMM.
Like GBC. He still got that page "Maintenance Mode".

[Vyse]

There is not a thing we can do about that. The DNS is configured correctly; there's nothing else we can do on our end.

He can try restarting his computer?

[Puraidou]

Things that might fix the "Maintenance Mode" issue:

Flush your DNS in the command prompt
- Close all your browsers
- Go to start and click Run
- Type in CMD and hit enter
- Type ipconfig /flushdns and see if it says that it completed
- Close the command prompt and open your browser
= If it works, then you're done. If it doesn't work, read on.

- Open your browser's options and clear it's internet cache, cookies and everything.
= If it works, then you're done. If it doesn't work, read on.

- Reboot your PC after flushing the DNS and your browsers cache, cookies and everything.
= If it works, then you're done. If it doesn't work, then you have to wait until it fixes itself somehow. This could take a day, maybe longer.

i did none of these and I'm back after a day =p I'm thinking there's an IP conflict with the old domain and new...

Neither did i, but these are possible fixes :P

The IP on HostMonster was 66.147.240.189; it's 50.63.214.1 now.

It's a DNS issue on the users' ends. The time it takes for a PC to notice that it needs to be going elsewhere just varies. Flushing the DNS cache and restarting usually does the trick.

has to be something else as you can't clear a cellphone dns. Cause my cell's now connecting properly.

[Vyse]

...Yeah, it just takes time. The computer will eventually notice, regardless of whether you manually clear the cache.

[Ӄit ßallarɖ]

Oh well. I hope everyone's able to return ^_^
Oh if you're wondering about my "dual account" it cause I made an account just for my cellphone to take advantage of the second forum theme you made and turn off all avis/siggies without needing to do so on my pc =p I hope that's ok, since "dual accounting" is rather taboo.
