Site Update

[Charger_Fan]

The setting says "Show view profile button under post?". Not the most descriptive thing is it? (Because you can view the profile by clicking on the user name so I didn't think it was necessary to have a button.)

That's the way it used to be on the old (Jesse's) site, if I recall. So us old timers shouldn't have a problem with that...it's just all these newbies that'll be lost for a while.

Thanks for all you're doing, and I'm glad you know WHAT you're doing. Me, I bet I'd screw it up royally.

Ok, I figured out the image deal - the install screwed up. Hopefully that's all that didn't work correctly. I ran the update on the old server and it went perfectly fine (in less than 15 minutes too) so I copied the data. After that I promptly broke the old server trying to make the image resizer work and now it's completely dead. I'm not too excited about trying that here now.

Got the image resizer to work and it's pretty disappointing. All it does is make clickable thumbails but the original image still has to be within the limits. Glad I didn't break the server for that!

I tried to do this over the weekend but it took nearly a whole day to transfer all the files to the new server (lots of pictures). I finally got it all set up this morning so I'm going to go ahead and transfer everything today at 12:30 Eastern time. You should initially see a message that the site is being updated and then (hopefully) you'll see an updated forum on the new server. Sorry for any inconvenience but there doesn't seem to be a really good time to do this and it's long overdue.

Hi Troy. the site looks great and does remind me of cuda challenger.com now.............I use firefox for most of my browsing and the site won't let me login. I went back thru explorer and was able to sign in easily. Is firefox not allowed or is there a glitch?

Hmmm, I kept the same cookie name in the hopes  that it wouldn't require people to log in again. I guess that failed but it could be the source of problems for anyone having difficulty logging in. I did notice that I had to log in several times while I was installing and testing (using Firefox 3). Try deleting any cookies from dodgecharger.com and see if that helps.

I have no problem getting on with I. E. or Mozilla.

Using Firefox 3.03 (on a Mac) I only needed to sign on the one time....

I've noticed that some of my older pm's in inbox are not there anymore. I guess they got deleted to clean up some space?

I didn't delete anything. According to the backups you have exactly the same number of PMs as you did before the upgrade. The oldest one currently in your inbox is from the end of July 2005.

what about the option if you put your mouse over the thread title line it gives a synposis of the first portion of the post without clicking on it?

I broke that. I'll see if I can get it working again.

I don't mind the upgrade at all, but, as stated already by others, it looks a lot like C-C.com. I understand it's a template and all that, and I don't mind if it's the same template, but could you at least change the colour from blue to something else? Just an idea...

[Troy]

From a different thread.............

Yeah, yeah, working on it. I had to pick the default theme to get some of the features I wanted but I working on migrating to another. I wanted to make sure it was functional before worrying too much about the looks.

Troy

Yes, the template will change. Yes, the color will change. It could be worse... I could have lost all the pictures, deleted all the posts, or broken half the site...

 I noticed the " show last ten posts"  function has been replaced by the thread titles of the last five..

The last posts feature is still there , just scroll down a little further.

Yep, in the "Forum Stats" just under "Latest Post: ...". The one at the top (if there was one) with the user information is gone along with the PM stats. I'm probably going to remove that latest post list but I'm still playing with the layout.

It looks just fine as-is IMO. I'm never on C-C.com so I don't give a rat's a$$ if it looks the same or not.
