bullet Topic: Website and Forum Update
    Posted: 12/03/06 at 3:39pm
We've finally moved everything to a new server, and as you can see, we decided to do a redesign while we were at it. We've chosen a company that offers more capabilities on the back end for us and with a reputation for reliability -- this should allow for greater speed for database-driven applications, like this board and the scripts and link directories. And I know everybody was tired of coming in to check the board and finding it was down yet again!
 
The forum is also an updated version with several new features; we really need your feedback on how it's working for you, and especially about any bugs you run into.
 
Please let us know about any problems you have, either on the board or the rest of the site (especially "Page Not Found" errors).  Not everything is complete yet, but we're working as hard as we can on getting everything back up and running better than before!

Looks great but the dates seem to be international format instead of mm/dd/YY.    I'm sure our friends in the UK and Australia are appreciative of that.

Congratulations, you're the first one to help us out with a bug report for the new set-up!
 
Looks like in the transfer, all the dates in the individual user preferences defaulted to European style. To change it, go to the "Settings" button at the top of the screen. On the next page, click "Edit Profile" at the top of the list to access your user details and preferences. On the next screen, scroll all the way down to "Forum Preferences." The last selection in the list is "Date Format," where you can select your preference for date display from a drop-down box.
.
I'm posting this fix as a separate topic in Announcements and will make it a sticky topic across the board. Thanks for pointing this out!

Love the new changes, Bravo!

One issue I seem to be having however.  Some of the longer posts are being cut off at the bottom and I can't find a way to scroll within them to read the whole thing.
 
Am I missing some obvious trick?

Top, could you point out a specific post? I'm not seeing it from my end, but I may not be in the right place. Also, just in case, can you tell me what screen resolution you're using? That might help us sort this out. Thanks.

Actually, the first post from Chris Polo on this thread is chopped off after "Please let us know about any problems you have, either on the board or the rest of the site ..."
 
I can't read what follows.
 
As far as screen resolution goes, how would I find out about this information?  I'm not very computer savvy.  In fact, when I make a typing error, I still have the urge to dab "white-out" on my screen.

I see the entire first post just fine... I have a different problem and I'm not sure if it is the boards or mine.  I signed on here at work and it looks great! Last night, however, I signed on at home and got the old format and a bunch of locked forums... Is there a trick? Any computer geniuses know what I might need to do???

 
Again, Chris & Mike, great job.. And thanks again for pjroviding us this forum...

Marty your home computer may have cached the old site.   Try refreshing your browser and if that doesn't work, hold down the control button while refreshing.
