Work TonightPosted on Mon, Jun 30, 2008 @ 11:04:47 PM
I've done a little bit of work tonight on the Filter that's here on the site (added probably around 30 phrases that the Filter caught and left for me to review), and I'm proud to announce that I'd like to start working on the Clubs coming up. I've got a little bit of a start on it right now, but it'll probably be some time before they're completely finished. I appreciate the time that everyone is giving me to finish these things. Smile I've decided that I'll let the Search feature of the site wait for another time, as it's not that important. I think working the Clubs will be much more interesting.

New Help TopicPosted on Sat, Jun 28, 2008 @ 10:06:57 PM
I've created a new Help Topic this evening in regards to the Development of VirtuBots. Hopefully this Help Topic will address some of the questions that you might have.

New LinkPosted on Fri, Jun 27, 2008 @ 01:04:29 AM
This message only applies to Moderators, Team Members, and Administrators. You should notice right away that a change has been made to your Navigation Links on the left side of each page. There is now an Administration link that directs you to our Administration Control Panel. Before, you would have to have known the direct link to this Control Panel. We thought that it would be easier on everyone to place that link there, instead of making you remember what that link was.

New Help TopicPosted on Thu, Jun 26, 2008 @ 05:55:32 PM
I've decided that I would make a new Help topic today, one called "Other Questions". In this Help topic, I'll be posting questions that don't seem to fit that well within any other category.

VisitorsPosted on Thu, Jun 26, 2008 @ 05:45:31 PM
I've decided that it would be neat to see how many members visited VirtuBots in the course of 1 day, instead of only showing how many have been online within the past 5 minutes. I've incorporated this new feature onto the Statistics page and onto the Users Online page as well. Don't worry, the feature that tells you who visited within the past 5 minutes is still there. Smile

Activation ProblemsPosted on Sat, Jun 21, 2008 @ 11:43:31 AM
I've addressed the issue where some people (possibly) might be having problems with activating their account. In order to help address this issue, I've added a new option onto the LogIn page that will resend out Activation eMails, for if the possibility occurs where people didn't receive their eMail or deleted it without knowing that an Activation Link is in it. With personal experience of mine by testing this feature as I was programming it, I found that I had to add the VirtuBots eMail (contact@virtubots.com) into my "White List", and after I did, I was able to receive this Activation eMail. I even made note on that saying to add that eMail to your White List, as your SPAM filter might be filtering this out. I hope that this has helped. Big Grin

Staff MembersPosted on Tue, Jun 17, 2008 @ 10:32:19 PM
I've decided that I would demote previous Moderators and Staff Members from their positions beacuse they haven't visited the site in a very long time. So, for now, I'm the only one who has the higher power here on VirtuBots. As time goes on, there will be other Staff Members and Moderators looking after the site.

Profiles UpdatePosted on Tue, Jun 17, 2008 @ 10:19:25 PM
I've added a new section onto Member Profiles where it will now show if a member has activated their account or not. This may be helpful in some way, but it's not exactly harming anything to have it there.

Last SeenPosted on Tue, Jun 17, 2008 @ 10:15:05 PM
I corrected a small bug here on VirtuBots in regards to Member Profiles. On some profiles for some members here on the site, the "Last Seen" section had a date and time dating back to around December 1969, which would have been an impossible time to exist here on the site. I corrected this bug so that this no longer occurs, it will show the last date and time the member was actually on the VirtuBots website. This bug was only occuring for members who have registered an account but haven't activated it.

VirtuBanking UpdatesPosted on Sat, Jun 7, 2008 @ 09:41:24 PM
I've made a few modifications to the VirtuBanking here on the website. It now tells you about how much Interest you are allowed collect for a month (that is, if you collect it every day), and that most all of the number figures that are given to you on that page, they are now easier to read, as they now contain commas every 3 digits. Such as in the format of 123,456,789. Smile

Help PagePosted on Sat, Jun 7, 2008 @ 09:24:55 PM
I've added a little more to the VirtuBots Help page this evening. I've created a new Help Topic in regards to VirtuBanking and updated the Help Topic in regards to the Shopping Center. (All I done for that one was I added another question to help limit the eMails that we get from members asking for help).

SafeSurfPosted on Sun, Jun 1, 2008 @ 11:40:54 PM
VirtuBots is now "officially" a "safe" website for viewers of all ages to enjoy. We've always been a safe website to visit, but we've just been certified by SafeSurf, and the button for them has been placed on our home page.

Member RecordPosted on Fri, May 30, 2008 @ 12:23:33 AM
We've hit a record high of
100 Members
...here on VirtuBots. Big Grin Congratulations !

Crons FixedPosted on Sun, May 25, 2008 @ 11:31:57 AM
Sorry for the delay everyone, but I've officially fixed the Cron Jobs here on the website. It took me awhile to figure out how the Cron Jobs operate on this new server, as it seems to be different from one to another. Plus, the last web host that we were on didn't even support Cron Jobs, which was somewhat of a requirement for this website. In other words, the resets on the website should work again, such as the weekly drawing of the Raffle Tickets, the Daily Interest for the Bank, etc.

ResetsPosted on Wed, May 14, 2008 @ 05:41:27 PM
I've noticed that the resets on the website haven't been working, so I've tried to fix it. If it isn't fixed within the next day (or so), I'll seek help from my web host to see if there's something special that I need to do to get them to work again. By the way, I've worked on a little bit of the Search function yesterday at work. It truly is a shame that I lost what I had started from the server crash some time ago. Frown
