Do not adjust your computer monitor!! We are upgrading.

Dupo · 08-31-2008, 12:58 PM

I am in the process of upgrading the forum. So if something doesnt work or seems funky .. that is what is going on.

Patrick is working the sql/database end

I am working the upgrade end as well as themes and other addons.

Patrick will also be working on some of the other 'harder' mod installs that are over my head lol.

So bear with us while this all gets done!!

Most of the maintenance and upgrading is complete. Some tweaks and stuff are needing to be done to keep the spambots and a few of the other glitch-prone things from cropping up.

Overall, everything is still here and active. As with any major upgrade/overhaul, there will probably be some stuff that will seem out of place and there will be a few nit-picky things that stick out to people.

Please post what you have problems with in this topic.

I will sticky this to the top for a few days in order to keep up with the issues.

For the most part looks good. I have had a few minor issues with the "back button" getting a "page expired" message, but that may be the way it is supposed to work.

What does the user name in "red" mean? I though it meant a new post, but now I think it means they are online...

Since the only ones I have seen are Dupo, Badbob, and Patrick I am going to assume(oh no) that the red letters are for the Admin's, when you are "online" it says it under your name.

Later

No real problem so far but I do NOT like all the shades of dark blue. Reminds me of a funeral; quite depressing. :sad:

Thanks for shortening up the "name" in the URL paths. Makes navigating (back) lots easier !!

umm, could you please add some more smileys ?
I'm especially missing the 'grouphug' smiley, here :grouphug:

Dupo · 09-01-2008, 01:16 AM

The theme (blue) is temporary. I added it because it was nice and clean .. i will add one or two more. If anyone likes dark themes let me know i'll throw a black one in there along with one more.

Smileys .... yea im going to see whats available and add some.

Quick reply (i loved that feature) will be added back in soon.

As well as adding the 'post a picture' link/mod. That one is mandatory going back in. I know alot of people have trouble posting pictures without it.

If you haven't noticed, you can insert flash now in your posts. I do believe that means you tube links :2tup:

And if you haven't noticed, you can upload files now in your posts. Right now the file size is small but i WILL adjust that to a larger size.

There is also a chat program that i can enable within the forum. I have to check into it some more (im not familiar with it) before i enable it.

The attachment feature will automatically thumbnail images and post them. Look in the Testing forum and you'll see an image I added.

Dupo · 09-01-2008, 03:27 AM

Too late, i already added it

Before you upgraded the site, each time I logged on when the main page loaded up, the topics with new posts were highlighted a different color so you could see them immediately. Now you have to peruse through them all and look for the dates to find the most recent posts, or at least the ones for that day. Any way to bring the highlighting of new posts back, or is that something within my computer that recognized a change in the page compared to the last time it was viewed?
