Thanks for your patience in our working on new forum code. Most features have been re-enabled. There may be some bugs, but rest assured we are working on them =].

Gaia Online Forums
New Forum Code Release

Well, if you are here, and you are reading this, then congratulations, you made it with us! What you are looking at hopefully looks exactly like the previous forums, however, we've changed just about everything. Probably the most significant of these is the lack of "archived" or "offline" posts. Additionally, post editing will be reenabled once we know the code is going to be okay. Additionally, there are two known issues we are currently resolving.

1) Threads older than 21 days might be slow to load. This is because they may still need to be paginated. This will add about 2-3 seconds to the thread's loading time for the first load only. From then on, the loading process should be lightening fast.

2) Threads older than 21 days may not be able to have their posts called by ID. A call by id will look like:

We are still in the process of indexing the 40 million+ posts, and should have that completed over the next few days.

The following posts contain some additional information that you may find useful concerning the migration

FAQs

Why is ______ disabled still?
During the initial hours of the new forum code release, we have turned off most features of the site. Rewriting the forums means that several files have had small adjustments. To ensure everything is working, we are enabling features one at a time until the entire site is live again.

Where did my post go?
If you do not see an older post, it may be that it has not been fully migrated to the new system.

Why did my thread lose pages?
Under the original system, pagination was done in a way that did not work well with threads greater than 100 pages. Often times, going to the "last" page in a thread would return an empty page. This has been corrected, and the page numbers have been recalculated for every thread on the site. No pages were actually lost, but instead, the counter was set appropriately.

Why are my Subscriptions Failing?
Subscriptions may be failing due to any number of things (see FAQ 1). Since they were turned on with the forums, it may take us a bit to straighten them out so that they are working fully.

Why are there only 14 posts on a page?
Under the new pagination system, deleted posts will not cause posts to move "forward" a slot. The result of this can be less than 15 posts on a page. This is expected behavior.

OMFGs up to 8-9k: good job for those who bought before they rose (me)

Tickets: Tickets are slowly lowering down to an average of 3g a ticket, as opposed to the 7-10g a ticket at the beginning. Many people took advantage of getting on it in the beginning.

Casino Items: Very good if you can get them. The cheapest items are the emoticon glasses for 3500 tickets. This has been translated into 9-10k gold. Very good deal, as I m half way to getting a pair!! (I want the >< glasses hehe) This is still an exchange of 3-4g a ticket. This multiplier is explained by the effort and gold you put into making the tickets to buy them.

Emo Bag: For those diligent questors. Keep an eye out for a brief dip in price. The current Market low is 90k. It fluxuates between 85k and 95k. (I m at 26k whoo!)
Chain Wallet: Rising still. 153k is the lowest in the Market.

Sealed Watch: Oddly still staying near 6.5 as it has since the beginning of the month. People are most likely expecting a great item after last month s success. By the pattern I ve noticed, it won t be though.

Jan 05: great success (9-10k)
Feb 05: mediocre (6-7k)
Mar 05: great success (15-16k)
April 05: FLOP (4.5k)
May 05: success (7-8k)
June 05: See the pattern? It will probably stay at around 6.5k if it s a mediocre item.
