Small Update 5/11/13
Sky updated the website's Favicon. (the icon on the tab in your browser)
The favicon has only appeared on the black homepage from what I've seen.
I haven't seen anything different, could it be browser related? I use Firefox.
I'm using Firefox too so I don't know what could be causing it.
Oh yea, I forgot to tell you all, clear your cache to make it appear, or press Ctrl + F5.
Well I cleared my cache but, the only favicon I see is a white page on the tab, the new favicon (Sonics emblem from the SA series and Heroes) is only on the Homepage like Tyson said.
I see the Master Emerald when I'm on the forums (that's always been there, though).
Strangely enough, I've never seen the favicon load on my 3DS or Android.
Favicon changed back to emerald since the emblem one had problems.
The reason why it didn't update instantly is because it takes 24 hours for the new favicon to take effect.
It was still having problems with Firefox after the 24 hour mark (chrome worked fine though with it)
I know this is not related to the problem, but why can't we change the link color anymore on customize my profile?? It makes it hard to read on some profile with certain colors.
There have been a lot of user custom profile errors lately, but unfortunately we have no idea what the cause is. My advice is to try again and see if it works, some say it works sometimes.
I see what you mean, it also fails to save my new settings, and goes back to the old settings that was saved. I think a plugin update or forum update is causing it.
It might be the recent 4.2.1 update, if so, vbulletin has to fix it.
Could it be an xml or file that cause the problem?
If anything Sky will have to fix it or VB.
A few new icons here
:hurry: (hurry)
:waiting2: (waiting2)
:ftw: (ftw)
Got a smile for us? PM it in!
:waiting2:<-- Me waiting for the next Zelda game. but that is offtopic
I might use those BTW.
I added an MLP chat, so that
1. Haters don't have to deal with it in main chat
2. Might increase the group's popularity (which we need)
Anyone is welcome, but don't flame or anything there just like anywhere else, if you're a hater, it would be your fault for entering the MLP chat anyway.
Yayuh!
MLP is no longer segregated from the main forum, it may be discussed in the main chat, and main forum in appropriate places. Although we do not want an excess of Pony threads because of this either.
NOTE: The MLP:FiM group will still be open for excessive Pony discussion, keep that in mind before you clog up the main forums everyone.
Let us hope this doesn't spiral out of control again.
It probably will, or cease to mature at the rate of being labeled a Sonic "FANSITE" even the damn MB Doesn't only talk about Sonic.Quote:

I still find this place to be lacking so much. I just can't describe what.
It's lacking activity, that's what it's lacking.
Indeed.Quote:

Wait, What the hell? Is it continuously taking points?
What do you mean by continuously taking points...?Quote:

But CM said they don't expire like they used to. Wouldn't that mean it keeps taking points daily or something?Quote:

Also vbPlaza has been updated with some items, they are currently being tested on which ones do and do not work yet. User Title color changer works.
The spoiler tag has been updated. Quote my post to see the correct usage (it's actually no different, but some people add extra spaces to it which are unnecessary).
And the infractions system has been refined a little: http://srb2skybase.org/mb/cmps_index.php?pageid=rulesPeekaboo
This should make it a lot simpler to understand.Quote:

Heh, you'll never need to worry. We're really lenient here (though that doesn't mean you can go off disrespecting and flaming when you want to). Just use common sense, have fairly good grammar, and have respect for others and you'll never be infracted. That's the Skybase way. (Wow, that sounded really cheesy...)Quote:

That's why I like to post here now. Moderators on mb.srb2.org are NOT humoristic and they have given me 6 different warnings.Quote:

^Mmm, but we're quite past that now that the troublemakers have been banned, and if they come back the same or worse, they'll be banned again.
Also, I'll finally get around to adding possibly more BB Codes and smileys soon...provided I'm not lazy over the next few days.
Wht kind of BB-code changes do you do? I think here´s everything except colored letters.
Hey Sky, is there a code for images that can be clicked and lead you to another website or webpage.
Colored letters might come back, but I'll have to think about it. I think I'll bring it back, actually.Quote:

Thanks! That makes it easier to upload them.
There should be a section or thread where you can post your time attacks.
Done. LINK
3-6-14:
Skybase rule #1 has been updated, be sure to read up on it. More rule updates may be made in the near future.
I agree
Care to elaborate? Or is this fine without elaboration? (huehuehue)Quote:

The Sonic Adventure Modding forum has been removed, due to it being very inactive and frankly, useless.
I've also moved a few threads to the housekeeping bin (hidden dead threads forum), just to tidy up a bit.
Also the SADX hacks forums weren't really hacks because it only added some textures, models and musics.Quote:

I've simplified the release guidelines notice in the Submissions forum, just to make it more simpler to understand.
You can also now upload Lua files directly with the attachment system.
Would this be considered a tiny update?
The modifications and submissions forums now use an upgraded posting thread format, much like the SRB2MB. You can customize details so much better now. I've converted the threads that were there before the update into the new system already.
Of course it's a tiny update :DQuote:

EDIT: And the WIP Factory guidelines have been simplified. More updates to come, probably. Considering implementing the new modification system into the WIP factory forum.
More "tiny" updates!
I've created a "Resolved Issues" forum for Helpdesk threads that have been...well...resolved. If you have a question, make sure to look through there first.
Also, several threads, specifically in the SRB2 General and WIP Factory forums, have been moved to a secret trash can (aka they've been trashed). They will have a "Moved" tag on them for the next two days, then they shall disappear! Forever! (Not really.)
One tiny updates (not tiny, a BIG one) would be fixing the LUA scripts... EX. You hit an enemy, you die, but if you jump you can avoid death. That's a neat bug, but it's annoying for other players since you can cheat death.
Um, what? This thread is for website updates, not for modification or SRB2 updates.Quote:

Understand you're somewhat still new here but if you'd read through all the posts and pages you would see the updates only pertain to the SRB2 Skybase forum.Quote:

And look! New smilies!
:hurry: (Replaced) Hurry!
:whoa: Whoa!
:thumbsup: Thumbs up!
:hmm: Hrm...
Removed that stupid Facebook "Like" integration at the top of every thread.
What I could suggest is removing the "Supported" thing we have to check when we release a file, it is just... stupid.
Also, the big and huge supported and certified by Skybase quality icon should be added once the WAD is released (and not when it is posted)
Don't you need that to have the page automatically know who helped you with a WAD, SOC or other type of modification?Quote:

I think he's talking about the supported checkmark on the right of the post. I'll see if I can remove it.Quote:

Update to rule 1 of Submissions:
1. Do not claim work that is not yours to be your own! You must have legitimate permission to use someone else's work! For ports, contact the person that made the original mod first before posting and give credit to that person.
You must have permission from the person that made the original WAD now. Do not post ports of WADs that you do not have permission to port.
As of Nov. 1st, 2014, Skybase Weekly will be replaced with Skybase Monthly, with additional issues where needed. Also, the Members Archive will be up all month long in the month from now on, starting after the October Poll (aka also November).

First (tiny) update of the year!
vBPlaza has been disabled due to the shenanigans it has made, and also because it's no longer supported by the developer and holes have opened up in it.
There is now an Experience tab to replace the void that removing the vBPlaza tab has done.
vBShout has also been slightly updated.
Noesss i lost my colored text !!!
Thank you've helped me with
this latest development.
The Chaos and Stories threads can now be viewed from the portal.
After a year and a half, here's another edition of "Tiny Updates."
Additional email features have been enabled, because for some reason they weren't before. The Skybase also now has its email domain to send stuff out (for stuff like password resets and notifications) instead of using Gmail. Woo. The Contact Us button at the bottom of the page is also updated with an actual form to fill out.
On a really advance notice, HTTPS support is coming soon...in like two years. Unfortunately, enabling HTTPS isn't free at this point in time.
Some updates: merged some forums into General Video Games and moved that under General Discussion, and also merged the Anime & Manga forum into Movies and TV shows (since we didn't have any discussion on Manga).
We now also just have one style: just the Skybase style instead of the all over badly managed Act 1 through 4 with the "Retro" style which was just the old Skybase logo.
And speaking of the Skybase logo, it's been cleaned up a bit thanks to Colby.
A bit of a small update: the navigation bar now highlights correctly when you're at the Portal and Experience pages now instead of just the Forum being the only thing highlighted.
You can now also customize the Portal by clicking "Customize This Page" at the top right if you wish to.
Redid the logo once again - making it less wide and now features Mania Sonic!
We now support two-factor authentication. Go into your User CP Settings and activate it under Two-Factor Authentication for added security, if you wish.
Small tiny update: General Sonic Discussion and Upcoming Sonic Games have been merged into Video Games, since Sonic content no longer warrants its own forums due to the low amount of threads being made in those categories.
We now have HTTPS support.
