Checkuser
Sometimes when you go to use checkuser, you enter in username/ip request username/ips, and click submit, but then you just get a completely blank page. Trying again/hitting refresh yields the same results, so checkuser is out of commission for a while.  ~ PheNaxKian Sysop   07:01, 18 January 2009 (EST)
 * well it does that but then it gets fixed somehow... -- 08:34, 18 January 2009 (EST)
 * Sorry I phrased that bad, didn't I XD. Like Frv Said, it will fix itself after a while but it will happen again t a later time.  ~ PheNaxKian Sysop   08:41, 18 January 2009 (EST)

E-mail Verification
We have had a lot of reports of people not getting their Verification E-mail. We've Noticed G-mail has a higher rate of success (as in more E-mails get through). I can't recall where, but i belive it was Wizzardboy who said that it's to do with the PvX server. I thought you already knew about this, but i've looked through both you're archives and the AN archives, and noticed anything to suggest you have, so it seemed like an idea to just make sure =). Also would it be possiable to implemant a temporary solution (if it's not /too/ difficult or time consuming), by allowing admins to Manually authentictate an account?.  ~ PheNaxKian Sysop   11:05, 21 January 2009 (EST)
 * Email system in it self works properly, however some people may experience not getting email - thats maingly to some policys somewhere betwean our mail servers and the www it self. Like now mater how many times I email my self I will always get it. At the same time other people will never ever get it. We have tried to fix it, but it looks like we will have to setup different email server for this.gcardinal 09:07, 24 January 2009 (EST)

Skill description updates
You have new messages on wikipedia. 00:02, 18 January 2009 (EST)
 * Just completely updated db1, someone else did db2. [[Image:Frostrage.jpg|19px]]Frosty  po!  08:41, 18 January 2009 (EST)
 * hey GCard, i have 2 questions regarding the database.
 * Is it possiable for admins and or BM's (or a new user group?) to maintain the database over here on the PvX server (so you aren't the only one changing descriptions)?
 * Is it possiable to split the pages you've posted (on wikipedia) into professions to make them smaller perhaps?
 * number 2 isn't especially important, but it might help in maintaining it, and make it easier to spot mistakes etc. While I'm sure number 1 isn't crucial if you're just copy and pasting every so often from the pages which every one's maintaining, by allowing Admin/BM access to the DB would mean that skills could be updated within mins of an update, so it would be useful in that sense =p.
 * Thanks for all the hardwork as well!  ~ PheNaxKian Sysop   17:56, 18 January 2009 (EST)
 * 1. As I tried to explain in the news post, it will be extremely difficult to use a wiki-page on PvXwiki as source of Skill DB, because of its size, but also if error is made - its pure PHP - so for security reasons it must remain under control of server admins.
 * 2. It sure is possible, as long as its not too difficult to put it back together.
 * 3. I understand that delays will be present when I or Hhhippo have to update files on server - but if you email me at admin@pvxwiki.com or dv@rb.no - I will do my best to do it asap.
 * In general most of the problems that occur on this wiki are fixed quite fast, but sometimes it can take a few hours before people email me. gcardinal 18:01, 18 January 2009 (EST)
 * Database is now synchronized with all the latest updates. Thanks to everyone who helped updating it. Feel free to leave your in-game nick and I will provide a nice gift :) gcardinal 18:02, 18 January 2009 (EST)

Hey
Not sure if this was mentioned already, but on my computer, the icons for energy, recharge, activation, etc dont show up when i scroll over the skill icon on a skill bar. Why does this happen? 22:34, 21 January 2009 (EST)

mediawiki
(oh no it's me again >.>) Currently we're running on Mediwiki 1.9.3. The most recent, Stable version of mediwiki out is 1.13.3, as such I was wondering if it were possiable for an upgrade (I know it's been brought up numerous times, and I'm aware you and Hippo have to put a lot of work in to make PvXcode compatible, but being 4 version out of date isn't a nice thought >.>). On a related note, if (hopefully more a question of when) you decide to upgrade, it might be worth leaving a news post so users can request server side changes (I can't thing of anything specific but something like tinkering with a special page or something). Sorry to bother you (again >.>). <font color="#4F94CD"> ~ PheNaxKian <font color="#9400D3">Sysop   15:48, 27 January 2009 (EST)
 * PvXbig is slightly incompatible with Mediawiki I believe. That is why we don't update. Would require reworking of PvXbig if I remember right.  18:46, 27 January 2009 (EST)
 * Like i said, i know there's issues of compatibility, but we're currently 4 versions of mediawiki behind (which include some major Security updates I've been told). <font color="#4F94CD"> ~ PheNaxKian <font color="#9400D3">Sysop   08:20, 28 January 2009 (EST)
 * Actually, it might be worth waiting for Mediawiki 1.14, as it includes the New user creation log (which could be very useful for sysops.) <font color="#4F94CD"> ~ PheNaxKian <font color="#9400D3">Sysop   11:35, 30 January 2009 (EST)

Just thought I'd bring this to your attention
I'd like you to look at this, if you could. I really think the users of pvx need a way to reconfirm their admins, rather than them only being responsible to you and the other bureaucrats. Karate Jesus (Talk | contribs) (→<font face="Arial" color="gray">12:40, 4 February 2009 - )

out of curiosity...
How much do the adds we have atm bring in (over about a month), if you don't mind me asking. <font color="#4F94CD"> ~ PheNaxKian <font color="#9400D3">Sysop   06:33, 19 February 2009 (EST)
