Hello,
I apologize for the delay and down time you encounter. This is TUS2 you've been waiting for.
As it looks TUS is not finished yet but since we were down like 40 hours I released it and I'll continue the rest online.
There are some parts missing like themes, online language modifier or chess/mini games. I think within a month everything gets to be stabled.
TUS v2.0 plan started because of big server lags. At first it was only an optimization for database. Optimizing TUS database queries led to optimization of main TUS framework and because of that the whole system got rewritten. It is literally a total rewrite of TUS in many ways:
- Server got moved from USA to Netherlands.
- Hardware got improved.
- Operating system got changed.
- PHP and MySQL both got upgraded.
- SMF changed to 2.0.2
- TUS both source and HTML output got rewritten.
Previous TUS got stable through the years, since this is the same features but all rewritten, there's great chance you see bugs fly all over the place. Therefore I've created a board just for reporting bugs. Create a new topic for each bug you encounter. This is a solve board, meaning when I fix the bug your topic will be marked as solved. Having that aside, I have the latest TUS database available so that if something major happens ruining stuff, I can roll back to the beginning of TUS2. (very unlikely though)
The more you've known TUS before, the more you're gonna notice changes everywhere. Some pages like home page are not finished and just a sample how they would look like. Hopefully in the coming month everything gets to be on track again.
I'll start writing articles about new changes and work on a full upgrade list. My main concern is still a faster website free of lags.
Enjoy :)

nice

Very damn awesome job MI!
-
tyyyy
really MI its goooood gift for birthday xDDDD
-
Just awesome, vgj MI and thx :)
-
Looks even better than Impo's design! :D 8)
No really, it rocks!
-
Duh, hate to ruin the thread of approval, but I freaking hate the theme. There will be other ones I hope? With this one I doubt I can stand it long here. :(
MonkeyIsland - minimal - pending.
The Worst Part is that it changes everytime you move a page around. :-X

Try to Log Out and Log In again. Before I did that, everything looked really ugly. Now it's way better, good job ;D
-
Tried logout and login. Still switching background like mad. The notification for "new" posts is also weird and not very intuitive. :P Think we had WormChange as "new" posts icon which was great. Or was it only in the forum overview? can't remember. But I bet it all comes down to the bad style atm that is used. :D
-
Anubis there are 6 other designs pending.
For now go to your profile => Look and layout, you can tweak this design to stop changing.
-
Thanks! That helped a lot. Using Hospital now which is easy on the eyes. :)
-

Its really looks better, but my design had some secret functions from tus3.0 ;D
-
woww, I know that still some more modifications to do, but
vnnnnnnnnnnn job!!
Moove server to Brasil aee
-
Nice job on TUS 2!
Just had some weird thing though... on the front page, i clicked on "Show full list" in the window with the overall classic league standings, and it opened an ad in a new tab. :o I hope this is not a normal thing... you may ask again for donations anytime, no need for ads. :)
Edit: Seems to be a bad link there...
-
Alright, time for constructive criticism:
-I really like almost all of the designs, however, the site feels slower than ever, I really can't stand the idea of anything unnecessary moving on the page, it's just a needless use of memory. I don't think waves or clouds are needed, I'd definitely not recommend movement as the default.
-'Forums and Posts' in My Panel should just be Forums.
-Pending Games erroneously gives games where you've gotten default wins.
-There really needs to be a tab for Rules, both general and scheme specific. It's always been hard for people to find 'em. At the VERY least, needs to be under the Schemes tab.
-The Latest Posts box looks really weird with uneven spacing between words, might want to change that.
-I think both the TUS news box and the league achievements box below it are good additions, they give the impression that the league has things going on, probably good to attract new players.
-The site's header for these skins ought to be more centered, maybe a little more professional looking. Seems like it shouldn't be resting on that wavy bar.
-
I really thank you MI, that's an awesome job
-
-Pending Games erroneously gives games where you've gotten default wins.
Those, and games you never played in group stages (which do not need to be there if the group stage is already done).
I'm also missing the games that actually need to be played? A broze game vs Dmitry (it only shows a group stage game against him) and a k/o game vs darkmaul for example (no maul in list).
-
In my pending games there's clanner playoffs from January 2009 where I wasn't even in CF I think, and even if I was we got a default win. :D
Other than that gj, looking neat so far. Will let you know when I encounter bugs or have suggestions.
-
its really amazing.... i cant wait for other skins tho :X
-
site looks good!
-
why does TRL:HYSTERIA on trl? i reported a game vs magic wich is roper.
-
Am i still muted ?
-
g8 job website.
...now if you have time you can come to my house to paint me.
;D
-
Am i still muted ?
TUS2 Amnesty.
-
Great job MI, great job :) People always need some time to get used such changes, like the new profilesystem on FB, but it's always for the better good :D
-
Well ya, just dont show pending games from groups that already finished, is there any variable that says if group stage already finished?
Anyway guys dont hurry with bug fixes, perfect tus2.0 is question of time.
For those who saying site now lagging even more, its working awesomely fast for me. Mab, server moved from USA to Netherland, its the only reason I see why can it lag

TUS 2 looks very good ! Nice Job MI
I have only a problem, when I browse with Google Chrome I can't see tus properly. This is an example (home page):
[attachment=1]
This doesn't happen on Mozilla Firefox
-
using chrome as well, nothing terrible with interface doesnt appear to me
-
I use Chrome and attached images don't load. Sometimes avatars and icons load and disappear. Same issue I encountered with IP.Board. Magic stuff :)
-
ooo Thanks Casso, true, its looking horrible in Chrome, and much more in IE, now I can see how TUS really looks.

Sometimes happens here also.

chakkman,
That was mistake by me. Forgot to clean by test homepage when I was done :)
Mablak,
- The site being slower, you mean your side, in your browser not having server lags. If your browser/computer can't handle clouds you can completely remove them. Also you can completely remove bubbles. Check 'look and layout' in your profile.
- Pending games is a new concept, we'll discuss that invididually.
- Have you clicked on leagues 'basic info' or schemes basic info? There's a summary page in each part. Check that out, if you think that is not enough, I'll add the rule tab.
- I'm working on home page. Because TUS was 40 hours down, I just made a sample home page and brought the site up.
- Pending games is a new concept which goes it's own thread.
Devilage,
Was a bug, it is fixed.
Casso,
My chrome is working just fine. What version are you using? Have you tried doing Ctrl + f5 on it? (please use the bug report board for further bugs)
-
Kalue, delete cache. Its uses some part of old tus but with new content
-
I did, but still the problem :(
-
Problem solved (https://www.tus-wa.com/Themes/default/images/post/topic_solved.gif)
I deleted cache and now site looks great with Google Chrome too. Thanks ;)

As I said guys :P
-
vn MI, the IM in particular is very sleek
edit: also worms freak theme with the worms style box :P
-
looks cool!
-
I like the chatboxes a lot, that feature alone makes tus 2x better. MI, could you have it default to the top of the chat? FoS chatbox is already pretty packed with shouts, and i have to scroll up to the top everytime i minimize it it defaults to the first post at the bottom, pretty annoying.
-
^ yep, same
-
Very nice work, MonkeyIsland!
-
I feel that your'e efforts deserve a considerable reward MonkeyIsland..Sadly becuase of my meager earnings i can not donate any money to keep tus allive..
I will however send you my warmest thoughts and thanks instead..
+1 MonkeyIsland
-
It works great with Chrome.
-
That new layout is absolutely horrible... please change back. Not only looked better but was way more useable. Or at least make an option so one can switch back to the old layout. :)
-
What's wrong with the new layout?
-
You will get used to it soon! ;)
-
What's wrong with the new layout?
It's too small... what's the benefit of a 16:9 display with high resolution if you have to scroll like mad? It was rly nice how it was before. It also looks broken.
-
wow, site seems faster, not had time (spent time) checking out all the new features, but nice work man, good job!
hmm, trying to access bOr forums takes me back to the homepage 8(
-
What's wrong with the new layout?
i cant type any other theme then "Monkey Island - minimal - pending", also when i want to turn off that clouds and other stuff.
