How to signup for SG19

Post by PeteTheHair »

Edit - This has been resurrected to a sticky topic yet again... The discussion that follows it isn't current, folks :)

I know I'm gonna get questions about this, so I'll try and cover 'em now...

1 - Why?

The old system relied on having 2 user accounts for the SG site. This resulted in almost everyone's email addy being wrong in the signup db, and everyone forgetting thir passwords for it. It also may have sucked a bit as a result of being kludged together for a looong time...

2 - What now?

All the info is now in your one forum account. Hopefully this should be fairly up to date, and as it's cookied and stuff, easier to use. The old system's interface sucked a bit as well.

3 - How?

To change your status, head for your account profile page... when an event is open, a "LAN status" section is there. Simply hit the right buttons, and it'll signup you up.

4 - Who?

You can tell who's coming by the icons next to their post. Currently, there's no huge "These people are coming" page, though I should get that sorted within the next day or two. Same goes for putting the info in a users main profile page.

5 - It Broke! (or I'm not seeing anything)

I'm not entirely suprised. Firstly, I've only installed this on the following themes: subSilver, fiBleck, fiApple and Cobalt. I think this covers pretty much everything anyone was using when I installed it, so this shouldn't be a prob. If you're having a problem, let me know which theme you're using, and I'll see what I can do. Aside from this, the icons only appear in peoples info when an event is officially announced... They disappear otherwise.

For any other problems (and I do expect a few... I wrote it, after all), mail me with as much info as you can and I'll have a look.

There we are then... comments/suggestions anyone?

In order to avoid confusion, it should be pointed out that most of this thread is about 6 months old, and relates to an old event... we've re-sticky-ed (and renamed) it for guidance on how to sign up. Clear? Good :)

you're making assumptions again brother, try talking to our dad about this first :P although it is _quite likely_ that we will all be coming along.

Hi all 8)

I was thinking of coming to SG19 but can't make it there before 11am on the Saturday. I know a couple of the ppl going so if they saved me a space next to them would me arriving on the Saturday be a problem :?:
