Just a spot to let me know what's not back to normal.

Yeah, I see that the Top Posters list was removed from the main page.

Is the Top Posters list now totally eliminated from this Message Board?


Chess Fan

When I tried to look at my profile I got the following message:

UBB Message
We encountered a problem. The reason reported was
Database error only visible to forum administrators

Please click back to return to the previous page.

I did the same thing as inky, and received the same message.

Update: although my private message box says I have room for five more messages, Chess Fan is saying that he cannot get through to me; he keeps getting the "recepient's box is full" message.

Profile problem fixed. Not sure about the PM message. I didn't change any limitations, at least not on purpose. I just upped the private topic limit to 100 in case that was it, but due to database size constraints I'll probably have to cut it back to 70 eventually.

I now get to choose a one-character custom title. I chose "Q".

Weird. Worked before. Tried to fix it. Try again. Go for Qh5, for example.

Yeah, it now works to the tune of 30 characters.

I see it's no longer possible to change posting names, but that's perhaps intentional.

Not intentional, a new default I suppose. But it doesn't seem like a bad idea. People changing their names a lot?

They used to, at least. For fun I guess. Some people have had lots of reincarnations where they say they've had enough of this soul-sucking void, leave in a huff, come back six month later and often change names. Crumhorn used to be rondino (and he's had others as I recall), SachBinger used to be BachSinger, I've had several names, well-named didn't use to be, etc.
