You might've noticed starting today that your gamercard is gone from the forum. Unfortunately, mygamercard.net pulled the plug on their site overnight, and took Central's gamercard feature with it.

Don't worry, though... I'll be restoring the feature as soon as possible! In the meantime, if you have any suggestions as to what gamercard the forum ought to use, please reply to this thread with a link to it.

Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for your help!

P.S. mygamercard.net posted a notice about this, if you want to read it.

OK, gamercards are back. If you find that the forum pages are loading too slowly for your liking because of the cards, please post a reply and I'll look for another alternative. Thanks.

Maybe for those that complain about the issue you could program in the user control panel the option to have the player gamer cards show in the forum or not while the person is browsing through. That way the gamer cards would not have to be taken down, allowing those that want to keep their gamer tags and those that want to browse the forums at fast speeds to be in perfect harmony creating a win-win situation :mrgreen: .

Of course I have no Idea if you can do that because I have no programming skills whatsoever, :P . But at least it is a thought.

That's a good thought. Unfortunately, it's programmed as a custom field and there isn't a preference setting to enable/disable viewing those fields. Perhaps future versions of phpbb (the software this forum runs on) will add that ability. Of course, if the new gamercard source goes away too (which is likely, as it appears to be the only decent one left, now that mygamercard.net is gone, and they're likely to suddenly get a crapton of traffic), I'll just convert it to a text field, and that'll work just as well.
