Transition to the new site

Post by archibalduk »

In order to prepare the site's database for the move to the new site design, there will be a couple of changes that you may notice over the coming weeks.

In particular, the TBL Points system has been overhauled in order to make it easier to manage. In order to prepare for the move, I will be deducting points awarded to users for coming first/second/third in a competition. When the new site design is installed onto the server, all TBL points will be restored. If, after the new site has been installed, you believe that not all of your TBL points have been restored then please contact me (Archibalduk) and I will investigate.

Secondly, we will not be uploading any further Challenge stats to the site until the new design is installed. This is because the new site will use an improved system in which to store and process the stats. All outstanding Challenge stats will be added in time for the new site being installed and thereafter we will continue to add the stats as usual. It is hoped that in the not too distant future users will be able to upload their stats directly to the server rather than having to wait for a Moderator to manually enter them.

It is hoped the new site will be live by the end of May, if not sooner.

Just a quick update:

1) I'm just about to start altering users' points right now. Those of you affected should receive a PM stating that you have been deducted a number of points. Don't worry, the points will reappear when the new site arrives shortly! I recommend keeping a copy of the PM in case when the new site goes live you think that the number of points you have are wrong.

2) I have added all Challenge stats for Challenges 15 and 16. When the site goes live you will be able to see your stats. I will post more info about this in the not-so-distant future.
