S1 InvisionFree and Zetaboards that converted from s1 are currently offline as the machine is down for maintenance. We should have an update soon for when it will be back online.

Thank you for your patience.

Brian

The official support forums and boards located on s1 are temporarily offline. We'll provide an update as soon as we have a timeline available.

The Zathyus Team

The new ZetaBoards forum moderator system is available now on all ZB servers.

Improvements include:
- Error messages when attempting to to add or edit a forum moderator have been fixed.
- Groups similar moderated forums into sets for easy editing. If you need to change a moderation permission for a moderator it can be done in a single step now.
- The three board-wide moderator permissions (warn member, edit member, view IP Address) are now editable once per moderator. This clarifies that these are board-wide rather than per moderated forum.
- It is now possible to have a forum moderator that moderates no forums but has any of the three board-wide moderator permissions.
- Compatibility with boards converted from InvisionFree is improved. No forum moderator data or settings are lost in the conversion to ZetaBoards.
- It is now possible on ZetaBoards to have a single member or group moderating multiple forums with different moderation settings per forum.

We're happy to announce that a new round of conversions will be performed in the next two weeks. All boards that are opted in to be converted will be converted in this round.

I understand that many of you have been patiently waiting for a conversion. We've been working on two particular features that we wanted to have completed prior to converting more boards. All boards, converted or native ZB, will have an individual moderator feature installed as part of this process. This will be in addition to the Global Moderator and Admin Assistant functions. Additionally, converted boards will be given full access to the Admin CP ticket system to allow them to receive support directly on their board.

We'll release more information about the timing of these events as soon as it's available.

Brandon, Brian, Stephen, and the rest of the ZB team.

Happy Talk like a Pirate Day ye scury dogs!

Our first mate Nicola has made a theme fo' the day for both boards.

Keep an eye on the horizon for treasure hunt later today on Invisionfree.


Now, Why is all the rum gone?

Thanks to Ben and Nicola, the documentation wiki has a new and improved look. It's still accessible via http://docs.zetaboards.com/

Check it out and I hope it proves to be helpful for you.

We are currently dealing with a hardware problem with Server 11. We have no ETA for when the server will be back online, but we will provide one as soon as our datacenter gives us one. The current message on Server 11 stating "Estimated Completion Time: 3 hours" is not accurate.

After years of dedicated service to the Zetaboards and InvisionFree communities, I'm happy to announce the Stephen (aka Yodaminch) is being promoted from his Community Moderator position to a new Community Administrator position.

In this position he'll be officially in charge of all things community on both ZetaBoards and InvisionFree.

I hope you will give him a much deserved round of applause and thank him for all of his hard work so far. Send him a PM when you have a chance or post here
