One thread, joint men's and women's.

Yes, that's the plan

Hi everyone, less than 3 months to go to Rio 2016 and we now have to open the Olympic Threads, of course one for each Olympic Sport. I have prepared the format for the first post, which is pretty simple, just with some basic information and the Schedule for that sport. Here is the Archery Olympic Thread, and the Handball Olympic Thread, to use as an example for all other sports (you have one individual sport and one team sport template): http://totallympics.com/index.php?/topic/16-test-thread/&do=findComment&comment=908 The Schedule of course is still provisional for most sports, and you can base it on this PDF file: https://www.rio2016.com/sites/default/files/users/Samuel%20Green/olympic_ticket_guide_150116.pdf You will then update the schedule in the next weeks when a more detailed schedule will be available. Now you can start to prepare these threads, but first of all we should decide users who will open threads for each sport, to avoid more users would open the thread of the same sport. So in this thread, if you are interested to open a thread, you can reserve the sport you want to open the thread for. I will update the list so that you know which sports are still “free” to take. You can write here up to 3 Olympic Sports you want to open the Olympic Thread for and I will then allocate them accordingly. Of course you can also choose Archery and Handball, which are already ready. Please note that if you open the thread you should be responsible for updating it before (and possibly even during) Rio 2016, so if you don’t want or can’t use the format we used, please leave the Olympic Threads to someone else. Of course many of us still have to learn a lot about this new forum software and how to work with tables and formats, but I am of course ready to help you if you have any problems with that and I’m sure everyone would be able to learn it, and it could also be useful for the future when hopefully we will start to post sports results again on the forum. I will then confirm you through PM (and updating the list here too) that a sport has been allocated to you and you can start working on that thread. But please don’t open the thread yet, work on that in a post into the Test Thread, so that if you have some problems you can ask for help before to open the thread, and so that all Olympic Threads will be opened more or less in the same period (when everyone of them will be ready, hopefully few weeks). OlympicIRL is preparing the formats for the results, so when you will open the thread you will have to “reserve” a post for each sport events, so for example 4 reserved posts for Archery, 47 for Athletics, 5 for Badminton and so on. Archery – Dolby Athletics – OlympicIRL Badminton – Griff88 Basketball – George_D Beach Volleyball – mrv86 Boxing – phelps Canoeing-Slalom – hckosice Canoeing-Sprint – dareza Cycling-BMX – Agger Cycling-Mountain Bike – Agger Cycling-Road – hckosice Cycling-Track – Agger Diving – mrv86 Equestrian – dcro Fencing – phelps Field Hockey – LDOG Football – vlad Golf – Danylove80 Gymnastics-Artistic – George_D Gymnastics-Rhythmic – George_D Gymnastics-Trampoline – George_D Handball – hckosice Judo – George_D Modern Pentathlon – Vojthas Rowing – dareza Rugby Sevens – juddy96 Sailing – Crolympic Shooting – Harsh Shah Swimming – DaniSRB Synchronized Swimming – George_D Table Tennis – vinipereira Taekwondo – mrv86 Tennis – Danylove80 Triathlon – uk12points Volleyball – batbobi Water Polo – DaniSRB Weightlifting – vlad Wrestling – juddy96

It happened to me too for about one hour this morning and I could not open the forum. But when I was able to open the forum I did not see this message anymore. Do you still see that somewhere ?

Unfortunately I have no news of KSR, the Polish user who was taking care of the Events of the Week Thread, since the forum went down in February. I only have his e-mail address but it seems to be not used anymore. Hopefully he will come back one day.

10 more languages apart from English have been added, you can edit the language clicking on "Language" at the end of each page. Please check your language and report if there are too many mistakes in the translation. More languages could be added in the future if IPS will release the language pack for that language. Please note that it will change only the language of forum buttons, but the only language accepted around the forum (except that in National Threads) will still be English!

Avatar maximum size has been increased. If you have an avatar in low definition, please upload it again in a better definition otherwise it will be shown in a low definition around the forum.

Yes, I have added some themes and users can choose the background colour they prefer. To change them just choose it from the list at the end of the website, pressing on the button "Theme": The default theme is all white, then there are some other colours and I can add some others in the future, if users have some suggestions you can write it here, just consider that background colour has to be a bit different from the 5 olympic rings colours otherwise they will mix up with the logo. Also I have removed the Introduction section and opened a thread only for introduction where new users could write in the future: http://totallympics.com/index.php?/topic/208-totallympics-introduction-thread/

Try now, I think it was because the reputation was disabled for "Premium Members"

Yes, please do that. If you have more than one ideas realize all of them in a test thread and then you can hear for users' feedbacks. My creatitivy leven right now is below zero so I prefer to leave this task to someone else

I agree about that, but Rio 2016 is so near that I would wait after Rio, when we will have a lot of time and less "fuss" around the forum to make the "revolution" and decide what to do with the threads. By the way, In next weeks we will start opening the threads for each Sport at the Summer Olympic Games 2016. Of course one thread for each Olympic Sport. Tell me through Private Message which thread you want to open, and when format/logo will be ready I will send you the logo. If more than one user wants the same sport, users who already opened a thread in that section will have priority. Format will be pretty easy, you will probably have to work only on the daily schedule to put in the first post.

6 users as of today

I have forwarded this to the IP Board support. They are often updating the software version so it's possible this happens since when we have a new version, but a newer version will be available in some days/weeks.

That's strange, did someone else notice this problem ?

What does it mean ?

About the problem with 0 in the tables, I have contacted IP Boards support service and after I have explained the problem here was their reply: Well, at least compared to Discuz there is a team who can solve the problems here

Premium Members can edit their signature from this page (Account Settings-Signature).

Both PayPal and Stripe are safe With Stripe you can directly pay with a credit card, you don't need an account.

I have added Paypal, but I have not tested it yet so I am not sure it works. Skrill is not in the list of systems I can use on IP Boards.

I have added it in the post, the payment channel is Stripe. I have tried it using all 3 credit cards accepted.

Hi everyone, after one month of the new version of Totallympics, I have added the option to become a Premium Member. You can purchase the Premium Membership through the button "Buy Premium Membership" in your navigation bar. I have set the price to 15 euro per year, which right now will give you the following priviliges: -No ads shown around Totallympics: you will see no advertsiment in any page -Signature: you will be able to add a signature to be shown after each of your posts -Upload attachments: you will be able to upload pictures from your PC directly in a post. The price and the privilege list could change in the future according also to your feedbacks about that. For the moment everyone will be able to take part in the Prediction Contests, and you do not need to be a Premium Member to participate. For the moment, the only payment accepted is with credit card, with VISA, Mastercard and American Express being accepted. Just after the payment, you will be automatically listed as a Premium Member and you will get the priviliges of a Premium Member. I have tried the payment with my credit card and I have checked everything works and the transaction is safe. The payment channel used is Stripe. If you do not have a credit card and you would like to pay with another payment systems, you can contact me through Private Message and if possible we can choose another payment system and I will manually move you in the Premium Member User Group. Nobody is forced to buy the Premium Membership. For non registered users who wants to donate and registered users who think 15 euro per year is not the right price (too much/too less), you can use the Donate page to make a free donation, starting from 1 euro. Premium Members will get all and only the priviliges listed. They will get no other priviliges such as in Prediction Contests scores or in admins' support in a potential "fight" with a Non-Premium Member. Non-Premium Members will find more advertisments starting from today, I am sorry for that but the forum software we are using is pretty expensive and I have to pay it in some way.

Actually everything depended from thr server and some were lucky and some unlucky, for example I still have problems to enter the forum from my home connection but they should be fixed in the next hours.

Totallympics will go through a server's change in the next hours, so the forum could be down for some hours. The server's change will not change anything users can notice, it's just where the forum is based (we are moving from a French server to an Italian server). That's also the reason why some of you had problems to open Totallympics in the past few days, it should be all fixed just after the server's change will be completed.

It should be fixed now

We will still have problems for the next days because we are changing the server. The old webmaster was using a French server while we are going on an Italian server. Therefore you could still face problems for the next days, even though I really don't understand why some people can connect on the forum and some can not. Everything should be fixed by next week, anyway.
