VBulletin was one of the (many) things we looked at.  At the time the coffin-in-the-nail  aka the deciding factor is that IPB hosts and supports its own software so your never fully stuck just "flying in the wind" or don't really have to pay anyone extra.  The same guys that made the software host and support the software, the plan was to make the "technology" aspect as lest of a headache as possible.  hah

Not sure if that  means "Rex Complex" like... some sort of mental issues, or if its a building name. Perhaps a type of makeup?  Deep questions. 

 

Lots of behind the scenes stuff to work on much is hard to notice unless you are on DGN constantly and notice little changes.  This definitely wont be the "final" skin.

Single handedly upgrading a 14 year old forum with over 3,300 members and nearly 772,000 posts (as of May 20th), I would say Troy deserves an award, a break and a paid vacation...

He's been working on this day and night putting many many hours into this upgrade. The amount of work involved is staggering to me.

Single handedly upgrading a 14 year old forum with over 3,300 members and nearly 772,000 posts (as of May 20th), I would say Troy deserves an award, a break and a paid vacation...

ty for the encouragement.

 

Its crazy how much time a small detail takes to get fixed.

 

At the moment the highest priority (i think) is getting the donation system working.   We don't really NEED a donations system people could just send a few dollars to troyspiral@gmail.com via paypal but that is really half assed.  

Even though we hate FB getting FB to FINALLY play nice with DGN (aka people can either 1.  make a new account based off 1 clicking the "make account via facebooky thing" or they can "link their acccount , meaning they just use the same login for DGN as for FB and when they switch between apps they will stay logged in.   I fought FB for a long time, but at least this way people have a place they can go to that is not so damn TAME as FB and isn't just pictures of babies and people bitching about nothing.    I don't expect DGN (not even sure i want) to get BIG again, just a little bit more active.   FB connectivity will help.

 

Right now there are a lot of posts that are messed up formating wise, this has to do with the transfer from the old version of IPB to the shiney new version.  If we were a new board it wouldnt matter but converting everything from the old boards format to IPB4 (the new one) is not going as well as hoped and is taking forever with the back & fourth messages between the web host and IPB (the company that makes the software)

ok /end novel  (could go on with that sort of "just get it done troy u noob" stuff all day. xd

Just a heads up of something I've noticed troy (and it may be because  i post from my cell) but when i click on the calendar banner from the events forun all it does is open another events forum in a new window.

Again, not a huge thing, obviously a low priority, and it may just be me, but just wanted to bring it to your attention

​I apreciate the input.   I'll have to look at it, thanks for taking the time.

I get an error message a lot when I am browsing through and go back to the home page. It wont show the actual forums, and then I have to reload. The error message says:

Sorry, there is a problem

Something went wrong. Please try again.

Error code: EX126
 

I am also using the current version of Firefox (just updated a day or two ago) on an XP machine, if that helps.

​ok cool thanks for the feedback.

 

They released Version 4 of this software oldschool microsoft style , that is, it really should have been a beta, since I started this thread there have been FIVE "upgrades" (aka bug fix patches) Normally is honestly very just, point and click, all the "techy" stuff is handled by the software or the support team.  But still , fixing most things is on them, I just have to tell them what the probelm is, and/or do a lot of customizing.  Its a lot of work but at least I have them to fall back on.

Since the upgrade, I've been getting notices about responses to posts via email.

I've changed notification preferences both on the posts and in general. And they still are coming.

Short of changing my email address so the go to an address I don't give a fuck about, how can this be fixed?

you are likely "subscribed" to various threads. happened to me on the last board upgrade, and i've never subscribed to anything, ever. if you look at the top of the page, just above "reply to this topic" you'll see "follow this" - check this for each forum you're receiving updates from, and see if you're listed. if so, simply remove yourself. if not, send me a PM with the info (which forums/threads) and i'll see if i can fix it for you...

​Along with what torn asunder stated, I have also seen that if you go to the "Notification Settings" through your profile image at the top of the page after you sign in, you can pick and choose how you receive messages.  However, I did notice that some functions stated that they were disabled by the administrator.

    • ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.

    • I'm glad  that yesterday's day at work is long gone now. There was a very strong unusual energy that I felt, and couldn't get done with the day fast enough. It wasn't  the job at all. I just felt like I really needed to keep my mouth shut, to keep me from getting in situation(s) that probably wouldn't have ended well for me.  
    • You can trust anyone you want.  The only question is whether or not they're deserving of that trust. No risk = no reward.  As such you have to let yourself be vulnerable sometimes and realize that all people will let you down eventually whether it's intentional or not.  The frequency that it happens is what's important.
    • Sorry, I don't check this as often as I should. Anyway document everything (although it sounds like @Trene4000already has been from her post.) It's okay to cry and break down, but not in front of them.  Never give them the satisfaction of seeing you crack.  If anything I'd go out of my way to piss them off, but I don't like being that guy either (and as such I'm not very good at it, except sometimes when I'm not intending to be.) I try to only help those whom deserve it, but that's often hard to judge.  Seeing how someone treats other people is a pretty good indicator of whether or not they're worthy.  Sociopathic narcissistic asshats are very much not worthy. I hope things are going well for you guys.
