This topic is here to provide the admin with an easy way to inform everyone of the latest news and updates that take place in the forum, anytime we change things this is where you will hear about it.

1) New admin elected: 2072, Bitwise, and CrimsonCasio (me)

2) User Profiles now include a place to record all the programs you have written (Casio related only)

3) User profiles now has an area to put what your specialty is (BASIC/ASM/Link cables/so on...)

More to come, since this topic is closed to discusion if you have any questions or comments please PM or e-mail one of the administrators.

[CrimsonCasio]

You all now have a place in your profiles where we can record your warning level (you cant see it but we can), if it reaches 100% serious action will take place... . of course you will be informed anytime your warning level rises along with the current value. We can also decide to lower your level at any time and for any reason (probably for good behavior).

[CrimsonCasio]

Update: Some problems with posting images have been corrected, so you can now include images in your posts.

[CrimsonCasio]

due to inneffecency the Report This Post To Moderator link has been truned off, instead just pm an admin and/or post your problem.

[CrimsonCasio]

well, this may not matter anymore, but now if you type in a button (like SHIFT) and put [] around it it becomes Shift' /> , you can do this with any button. They can also be selected from the smiles menu.

right now some buttons are diffrent sizes: VARS' />

[CrimsonCasio]

I did a little spring cleaning before our move, I know people hate all the pinned topics so I unpinned the outdated ones and turrned the WARNING post into a forum rules link. some more (UCN STATUS) will be removed once we finish moving.

hope everyone likes this change.

[CrimsonCasio]

their are new similes!
:glare: $| and my beloved:

mohamed also revamped the buttons: Shift' />Alpha' />CTRL' />EXE' /> F1' />F2' />F3' />F4' />F5' />F6' />

Hey! I must give the credit to P.J. for capturing very high quality/good looking buttons.
I just did some small editing.

All the calculator buttons are new, look at the rest:
1' /> ... 9' /> ×' /> [->] [LEFT] [RIGHT] ▲ ▼ sin' /> cos' /> tan' />

And of course never forget this one:

I hope you like them, my favorite is: and

As you all know the Competition is over, the winners were Brazzucko (Gang Fight 2), CasioKingdom (MiniGames), and Genesis (Sprite). Once 2072 finishes some changes to the forum code the memorial page will go up, it will list the scores and participants. Currently the two first place games also hold the title of "Grand (catagory) Champion", the next competitons winners will be able to take that place if a vote by all the members places them better than the current ones.

Thanks to all who participated!

btw: on an unrelated note I got board of my "Lord of Casio Basic" title, so till I can think of something more intertaining Im using this one...

[Mohamed]

huhn_m is now an administrator.

Some new smilies are added (you must have noticed), and the stupid "I With Stupid" smilie is removed according to genesis' suggestion to prevent further confusion.

Hello to all.

Survey stats showed the administration team that you guys want a bigger ucn with more services and more features.

Currently, behind the "iron curtain" of the admin boards, the administration team, along with me and killer (old timers) are working on preliminary plans to revamp the Universal Casio Network.

Changes being discussed:

- File Sharing Redesign.
- News / Article Systems.
- Expansion of Board Topics [ To include more Casio Products ]
- A Homepage with an easy access to important information.
- Expansion of our services to provide a wider technical support base.

Everything is still in the planning stage, and work has not begun yet. Please expect to see changes coming your way soon! (We hope there will be no down time), and you will have the professional and reliable 2072 working on server related issues - so no worries!.

What you can expect for, and get ready for (if you want)... the UCN will be hiring a few new admin's for this project. The fields for which we will be hiring have not been fully decided yet, but some potential ones are: "Public Relations", "Web Design/Scripting".

More information will be posted by the admin staff as soon as these positions become available.

I will try to keep you guys informed over time, as significan choices are decided on.

Enjoy,
Simon Dobretsov

[2072]

Any use of this tag will be recorded and any member abusing of it will be severly punished

[huhn_m]

We (2072) updated the board to Version 2.1.0

Have fun with the new features and report all broken things and bugs in the
Bugs/Suggestions forum.

[huhn_m]

The Bord version is now 2.1.1

Due to recent incidents we decided to ban temporary mail addresses like

mytrashmail.com and mailinator.com

Registration with accounts from these sites is no longer possible.

[huhn_m]

The board has been updated to 2.1.3

The update mainly consists of bug fixes.

[betoe]

Hi to all you.

UCN staff updated, now Overlord is a forum moderator and I am an admin.

[huhn_m]

You may have already noticed some changes.

1) The forum rules link on top of every page (below the UCF logo) now gets you to our actual rules. Please READ and OBEY them.

2) We have a new tutorial section where tutorials will get posted to by admins or mods.
If you think you have a tutorial that is worth adding there then don't hesitate to post it in
the main forum with the title TUTORIAL: <name> where name is the name of your tutorial.
If it is found worthy it will be added.

Please remember that there is still the award field in your profile that needs to be filled so
if you contribute a lot then we might give you an award.

If anything does not work as it should in the tutorials please report it to me (or just click on "REport Post" below the post)

[2072]

I've upgraded the board from 2.1.4 to 2.1.5

You can find the changes there: http://forums.invisi...howtopic=208568

[huhn_m]

Hello Everone!

Time for some news again.
First thing is, that the board has been updated to 2.1.7 by 2072. Cheers and thanks to him!

Second is a change in the administrative staff. You surely have noticed, that CrimsonCasio has been
quite inactive on the board for more than a year now. He has always been a great help for all members
and was our most active member. However, he is not active enough to do his business as an administrator.

Because of the things he did for the whole community and this board in special, be it in advise or in his hosting services on earthforge, and because we all came to like him verry much, we want to honor him
by moving him to the legends group. Because this is what he is. A true legend.

This will remove all admin powers from him, but ensures, that he can read EVERYTHING that is going on on the forums.

So thank you Crimson and please do visit us from time to time.


On behalf off the admin staff

huhn_m


Note: This action was decided by the admin staff with an open vote and all voted for yes (including Crimson himself)

[2072]

Due to abuses, I've removed the "reply quoting" buttons. To automatically quote a post, click on "Quote" and on "Add Reply" at the bottom of the topic.

[Andy.Davies]

Forum Rules have been updates slightly, please read and abide by them!

[huhn_m]

As some of you may have already noticed 2072 was so kind and spent a
lot of time to upgrade the forum software to version 2.2.2.

There are many new features so feel free to explore them
If you notice any new problems with the forum feel free to report them


On another note I want to welcome The_AFX_Master to our moderator stuff.
We have promoted him to a moderator since we think that he is a reliable
member capable of the job

[2072]

The board has been updated to the latest version (2.3.3).

I've also change the default forum skin to a new one

This version must fix a lot of little issues.

If you discover strange things, please report it in the Bug/suggestion forum.

Thanks,

2072

[kucalc]

Some of you may have noticed old posts from the UCPF. 2072 has generously put in a lot of time to move the posts from the UCPF to here.

There is also now a YouTube video tag so you can embed YouTube videos into your posts. But please only use it when needed to and don't abuse it.

[kucalc]

For those who haven't noticed yet , we have added two new forums:

* Programming/Development - Please post questions/etc. related to programming there. Feel free programmers to start new topics!
* Portuguese Help Center

Enjoy!
