If anyone would like to put a donation forward, we would greatly appreciate any and all contributions. As you all know, we have done a lot of work recently and some things are still missing and we are aware of this (such as medals, user of the month etc.) but these will all come back soon (don't have timescales).

However, advert income alone doesn't keep things alive and generally it comes out of our own pockets but if you can give a donation, we thank you and you'll receive the donor award group and medal.

If not, no stress we thank you for being a member, we realise not everyone can donate but those that can and have spare cash, we would welcome it (we ain't struggling, but it would be helpful in the short and long term).

I'm going to lock this topic, only on the basis that you can all kiss my ass 

I never got one 

When you see a member of staff or another member referring to the CoC, they are referring to the Code of Conduct for callofdutyzombies.com

Since the upgrade this has not been present, however, we have now added the CoC back to the site and slightly updated the CoC as well (it may require a few tweaks).

This can now be found under the more menu.

If you have any questions, suggestions for the CoC please leave a post so we can review and discuss.

Lets start a crowdfund to get all the perk machines made (including perk bottles) 

All the best Paulo, still staff in my eyes just a different colour

How many and where?

Anyone considered that "follow up" doesn't necessarily mean in regards to timeline but just a follow up to the last map from BOII.

Small change implemented today, we have made the forum the default landing page for the time being.

I have fixed a few additional issues today, some in the admin control area, the others are from the front user end.

Basically adverts are now fixed, if you access the site from any device the will now respond to the screen size, however, if you resize the screen (i.e. snap in windows to half size) you may need to do a refresh of the page). I have not tested this in tablets yest going from landscape to portrait for example.

I have added addition theme options now, we have three options available.

All of these have the same theme just different layout, mobile desktop is the desktop version of the site without any responsive design implemented. So it's basically the full site from a PC/Laptop on a mobile or tablet.

The plan is to add the world at war, black ops, black ops II pages this weekend and then to add the zombie library in due course. We will update you all on how things are progressing. 

We performed quite a large update today to address a couple of issues with the new software, we are now running the most up to date version of the software. We held off from performing previous update releases so that we could address pretty much most of them all at once.

Some more updates are due to be released and new features will be coming shortly as well. Here is a brief list of what we addressed today.

• Many bugs fixed both from tickets and bug tracker. A focus on ticket-related issues.
• Many performance improvements. More will come in next release but you should see a difference.
• LegacyParser does not convert hyperlinked YouTube URLs that were parsed into videos in 3.x
• Fixing iOS crashing on topic view (and potentially any other comment feed)
• Issue causing certain pages to take a very long time to load
• Improved Spam Monitoring Service handling and extended to apply to registrations from 3rd party login systems
• Error when searching members with certain configurations for custom profile fields
• Search index efficiency improvements
• Guest caching feature can now be used with MySQL (previously required a caching engine like memcached)
• Fix for common problems with queue task locking
• Topic-view loading efficient improvements that should also improve loading on iOS devices
• New mobile pagination
• Max width option for video embeds
• Out of memory errors on larger sites fixed
• Security and privacy enhancement for those using file system data storage option
• Security and privacy enhancement for system-generated log files
• You can now choose three options for file attachments in any post content: No files, Images only (this will actually check to make sure an uploaded file is a valid image), all files (this is default)
• If you choose "All files" you have the option to provide a list of allowed file extensions. If you leave it blank (default) any file extension is allowed.
• If a user makes a post or comment and then makes another post or comment on the same item before any other user, the posts will be merged. There is a setting to disable or set the time limit for this to happen. There is a clear, visual indication when a merge happens to avoid confusion to the end user.

The plan is to have the twitch stream service which was on the previous forum version return once it has been updated for IPB. Until then we don't have it but we will bring it back. That way you can add any stream to it and a list of active stream will show on the right of the forum main index.

What happens is if unread posts/topics exist they will be white, if all topics/posts have been read they will be then they will be a duller colour.

The plan is to change these, they are basically font awesome images and we can use what we want to use font awesome wise or we can use images. We did have the BOIII logo but before we moved hosts I was optimising things for speed and those got temporarily removed. They will probably come back, once IPS allow to call the same image once, rather than 50 separate images (all the same image).

The colours are back

That is not what we will do at all, don't presume the staff here will do what other sites did. We haven't done it here and unless the CoC has been broken then they haven't technically broken any rules. We might have a wee quite chat with them but we'll make that decision and not you. 

Not just attending E3 but attending E3 in a media capacity format

Welcome back @Speedo Cola glad things have starting taken off for you.

​You'll need to scroll down, they appear at the bottom on mobile.

and we should all be playing BOIII - what are we all hoping for?

It's a pipe dream, but I'm hoping that Treyarch realise and appreciate that some (if not all) players want enhanced BO/BOII for the current gen consoles (now that my 360 is gathering dust). I want to see a launch map (or two) that has a serious amount of replay ability and improved matchmaking and for glitchers to be punished as well as dash boarders.

Apart from that, I want to see the core of Zombies to be retained. What's your thoughts?

The switch over has been completed, we are now with the new hosts. You may notice increased performance (response time are better). We will be monitoring things over the next few days and making adjustments when required.

Any issues please let us know.

Hello All, 

OK, so we have started the ball rolling, we will be starting the process on Friday 8th May at 9am GMT, 2am PST, 5am PST, 7pm (OZ time) when we will be migrating the data over to the new server, this means that the forum will be switched off for the switch over.

No access will available after 8am Friday 8th May, it will then take approximately 24/48hrs once the IP address change has been implemented on the domain name before we become available again - we may offer access via other means so keep an eye for this (we haven't decided upon this yet though).

Again, thank you for the understanding and patience but this needs to be done now to prepare us for the surge that will come and to make sure we bring you all a reliable and fast site.

As @InfestLithium said, the domain stays the same. 

All that's changing is the server that supplies us with the tools to make things work and work well - everything remains exactly as it is - just better and faster. The IP address changes, which basically causes the issue of downtime. Until the web understands that the domain name IP has changed (which takes 48hrs approximately). 

Which is both good and bad, good in that it gives us a couple of hours to tweak things and then bad, in that you can't access us for a short period of time.

just as good bud with no crashes.

This decision hasn't been taken lightly, no move ever is. However, we feel the time is right to make the move to a new server, which will give us more movement, more value for money, better support, better options and less limitations.

So we have decided to jump to a new SSD (Solid State Drive) hosted VPS (Virtual Private Server). It is currently running our test development site @ http://www.codztestsite.com and if you wish to pop over and have a look and check out the speed differences then feel to do so.

We are still doing some optimisation on it but it is a replica of the current forum from Sunday, we have the pagespeeds pretty good, with some additional optimisation required to get us where we want to be but the crunch part of this, is page loads are 1 to 2 seconds - that's a significant improvement and we are looking to get better.

We have not decided a date on when this will happen, but it will happen pretty soon (next 7 days or so). We will make an announcement advising when as it will result in downtime. This is usually 24/48hrs whilst the DNS propogation takes place across the internet (it can be faster, so it's just a case of keep trying when the time comes and keep an eye our twitter/facebook for updates).

It's not an ideal situation to have to do this but the benefits far outweigh the negatives and it is the right decision to do.

Thanks for your understanding and patience.
