Yes, you are still viewing The Dark Mod Forums I've just finished the upgrade of our IPB Board Forums to the latest release. Packed with new features, rewritten code and all that. Have a look around. The skin is currently the default one, but will sooner or later be converted to a darker skin, to fit the Dark Mod universe. Also note that the forums have been moved from http://modetwo.net/darkmod to it's own sub-domain: http://forums.thedarkmod.com - all forum links will still work tho, thanks to Apache's rewrite-plugin. Please report any bugs, requests and comments in this thread. PS: The forums will run a bit slow the first hours as the cache is being rebuilt.

Just a heads up that the header images are now missing from the top of the forum. I suspect due to domain forwarding or something like that?

Have I been hacked or is the site being rebuilt or hacked?

We have fixed a bug in 1.04 that was making it harder to blackjack alert guards. Please do not vote based on prior experience, but try blackjacking guards after updating. If you are still finding blackjacking too hard, please be specific about the circumstances. Are you failing to KO guards with helmets? Alert guards? Are you failing primarily when trying to KO moving guards or is it standing guards as well? Have you tried the blackjack trainer? I'd like to get a sense of who is finding blackjacking difficult and why. Obviously if you are watching T2 speedrun videos, and expect to be able to run down a hallway and blackjack a guard on the elbow, you'll be disappointed with TDM blackjacking. But if people have reasonable expectations and are still finding it frustrating, it's something we should probably look at.

For the last 1-2 weeks the forums have been really slow and unresponsive for me, when I type a post half the time it just sits there etc.. is anyone else having the same issues..?

Does anybody else have this problem? In the (European) evenings the forum is unbearable slow. The server is delivering about 8Kbyte/s, sometimes less and usually stops midwhere during loading the page. Sometimes you can't even get the index page, sometimes you can log in, but then only get half of the overview etc. In the mornings everything is snappy.

I've upgraded IPB to the latest stable version, and since this was a major upgrade (from 2.3.6) I also had to re-do the forum style. Most of the new stuff is in place, but I bet that the logo will be changed. One of the many new features in version 3 is rating of posts and also a "report spammer" ability which will make it easier to single out spam bots and ban then at sight. Hopefully this will stop some of the spam threads we've seen recently. Make sure to empty your browser cache if you're experiencing any problems. And please report any errors etc in this thread. Cheers, ~m2

I have some PC troubles, if anyone can help. For some reason my C drive, which has Windows on it, is only 5GB size, while my D drive, with everything else, is 150GB. The D drive is only 20% full, but the C drive is getting so full it's causing major problems... I tried compressing all the information on C, but then my video drivers stopped working, and when I de-compressed the information it seemed to grow again and left only 12kb of room left on C drive. This has caused all kinds of crashes... I've run all of the system cleanouts, disk check, and the defragmentor, and deleted all unecessary programs (including internet browsers, games, applications...) but C is still stuffed to the gills. Any ideas about what I could do? Best of all, is there any way to transfer some things, like Windows itself, to the D drive which is as empty as the New Orleans disaster relief fund? Thank you for reading this.
