Another attempt at conversion to IP.Board

Recommended Posts

If I can reverse sort the 4um messages I'll be content - I really hate having to page through 20 pages to get to the last few additions undecided.gif

Kewl, I got a purty x for a forum pic - that should really confuse the cr@p outta Rodger! :P

Ok, found a bug, you can't vote up your own post more than once!!! :D

We are still trying to restore attachments. The problem was initially the import script and the size of our database. The most recent attempt failed due to running out of space - which is probably good news because that is an issue that is easy to solve. I am asking IP.Board to make another attempt tomorrow; which means more downtime. I have high confidence that we will see success. When you move a board with this much history and volume (240K posts, 5GB+ data) you cannot expect instant success. If we are back to normal after three days of issues, I would consider this a successful migration. I know that some people feel uncomfortable with the new site, but I think you would be equally uncomfortable moving from a Fiat to a Ferarri. In my mind, IP.Board is the Ferarri of forum software. and I feel thankful that I don't have to deal with the backlash of moving in the opposite direction.

For those that say "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", sorry; we just have different philosophies. I like to improve everything I can. Painful at times, but rewarding in the long run.

a Fiat would be s step-up for me...as long as it came with a few gallons of lubricant and a big shoe-horn to get me in it. :D

I know it will be great when and if it gets fixed but right now I would take a running fiat over a broken Ferrari if I needed to get somewhereblink.gif . . . .

Marcus,

I see that I have used "17.68MB of 2.15MB" and have a maximum file size of 64 mb for upload . . . . this is confusing to me. If I am only allowed 2.15 mb how could I ever load 64mb. also does this mean a 2.15mg limit and I should delete everything I have uploaded?? if everyone does this won't that make all the post in the past useless if you are able to upload the pictures?

yes it is getting better

I think that's what you see when you attempt to upload a file. Which is probably why nobody can.

Try clicking on " View New Content " at the top right of the Home Page , it brings up all threads that have a new post . When I open a thread It takes me to the 1rst post I have not read . ( It is only the 1rst post in the thread if I have not read any of the thread )

:thumbsup::P

EDIT ; It helps to read the help section ;D . You can have a pop-up sent when you sign in that that lets you know of any new post in a thread you have posted in , anytime someone quotes your post ... etc . Click your user name , select settings , select notification options & choose the options ... ok Bayslowtle ?
