I must admit I was confused. Over the last 5 days I had a lot of trouble with HLP. First I thought that I was banned, then I couldn't post anything for like 24 hours and then I saw that there were no private forums available? WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?? *Screams*

that's a good point... it's the same with the FS PORT.  GE says (and he's right) that we don't need one, because the point of the project is not to hide anything.  things are released as soon as they're done.

It would be useful for seperating coding issues from requests.
I find myself constantly subject to people who know nothing about coding giving me coding advise and telling me how easy everything is.

In some of the forums.. where it has the last post. I click on it, only to find out i don't have access to it because its in the private forum.


Could you be more specific? I'm not quite sure I follow you here.

It's but a single extra click on the Hosted category. (Pssst! Click the word "Hosted" in the previous sentence)

*proceeds to grant public access to the 158th Internal forum* :drevil:

No, seriously, you may think that way, but not everyone does.

Funny, but I never ran into any forum problems like that. But those problems were not caused by this reorganization - we only started (and finished) this yesterday - figure 24 hours before this very post, going on for about 4-5 hours.

As far as I'm concerned, get IceFire or Inquisitor to give the word and an internal forum is yours. :nod:

PM with the information? New occurences of stuff are fine I think - but just not telling anyone the first time round is laziness :)

Aww. Poor UT.

OK, I found a problem. I see that the T-V War project has new posts. I open it up and I see no new posts. I go back, and click on the 'last post' button. It says I don't have permission to view that page.

This means that the internal forum has new posts, even though I can't see them. Is it possible to fix this so it only lets you see if there are new posts you have permission to read?

meh... very strange bug. For some reason the LM and TT forums in the main forums page show now the total of posts in both internal and public forums. Doesn't do that for AP, 158th and KC forums though.

GE: Yeah, I'm aware of that issue. Like I said on ICQ, view the hosted sites from the "Hosted" category, and yu'll be able to see the internals alongside the public ones.

Peanuts, I don't know why that would be that way in one but not the other. But I don't think that's a crucial issue.

don't bet on it Sandwich. It also is the same with guests and other users, who do not have access to LM internal. Could be confusing, if they see that the forums has nearly 500 posts, while actually it has only 180.

Oh, could have something to do with the thread I moved yesterday from the LM internal to the LM public.
