What about pictures ?, do we still need photobucket or dropboxYes

Well, having had an evening of using the new setup, I must confess that I preferred the old setup and layout in just about every way I can think off - when it worked properly that is.I do realise that it wasnt feasible to carry on with the old system though, so theres no choice but to get used to this one.I preferred the 'look' of the old one, and it had one or 2 unique features that we used to use, which can only be half-arsed implemented on other software.
I hope that doesnt sound ungrateful, its not meant to.I know TB has put a lot of work into getting the new system up and running, and for good reasons - for which I have utmost respect and gratitude. :y
You're probably all aware that the email isn't working.Fixed
Its not an SMF problem, its a server problem.
I'm on it.
Not that highlight works - I'm on that as well!Fixed
new thread colour, from board level, threads with new posts are still same colour, quite difficult to pick out which ones are new, this a tweak in the template thats due in next week or two?Feel free to submit some artwork (*MUST* be proven copyright free if nicking from internet), we can all have a vote on stuff then :y
I now have to log in as omega_dan which i think is my user name but my display name is still Dan_282.Correct - you must log in with username. YaBB was a bit too relaxed over that
artwork? surely its just a flat colour? :-\What are you smoking? ;D
On Yabb new threads with new post where lighter blue than rest, really easy to pick out. At the moment, stickies are a different colour, maybe that for new posts? :-\

The thread title did, at board level...
what kind of art work are you after? Those new/old post traffic light bullet points need adjusting. I'm happy to have a bash at other things too, what do you need? Different "new" image? A background to new thread at board level?no backgrounds as they aren't images, but anything else considered
I agree is not as striking, hence artwork request. Overall, I think YaBB was clearer and cleaner
we are running a non optimal theme hear, in order to make it more familiar to oofers...

Just noticed the missing location info too. I guess that could be added to one of the other info boxs by members?Sure "drives" was there on the test site ?
Or is there a fix on the way at some point? :)
appreciate the hard work...but at this moment in time i prefered the old version.Profile > Show Posts
sure i'll get used to it tho. how do i check out the last few posts i have made?

Quick reply feature missing?Pop pm notification, was that ever a feature here :-\ took me ages to notice I had a pm signified next to "my messages" .
Sorted.correct. A signature should not be distracting from the thread ;)

No modify button is a rather nuisance. Sorry, just is.
I didn't see it mentioned before, but has anyone else noticed that the server seems to go AWOL for ~5 minutes at a time every now and then?

Just got back on after several hours of trying. But since the change there have been the odd 5 min outage
Theme tweaks, not sure what it is about this theme, don't like it as much as Yabb, took a look at some alternatives, sure you've already seen most likely? Maybe worth a few tests, polls?We are not changing themes (too many problems with each upgrade, as most of these theme writers never bother after they get bored). Artwork & css is fine.

As said, there is a problem with it, and fixing that is not a priority I'm afraid.can we have the previous / next thread buttons back please :y
100% agree with this request ... just got back from the weekend away and "catching up" used to be easy ... go to last read post, then use the previous button to step up through the posts ... now you end up having to select page 2, then the post - read it , then the heading, then page 2, then the next post.. its slightly easier once you reach page 1 .. but still not "user friendly" :(
Other than that whinge ... congrats to TB for excellent work .. looks good and seems quick (except for the odd can't connect" which I guess is work in progress) so a big "thanks" from me :y :y

In layman terms:
Its the hourly backups
For those that understand, to get a point-in-time backup of the database (and it has to be point-in-time to maintain consistency), it is necessary to lock the database tables before the backup starts, and release the locks when its complete. In testing, this was taking less than 30s, which we thought we would get away with. Now traffic has ramped up, and an unexpected high number of users still browsing the old YaBB site, the server is working much, much harder, and its taking a few minutes. People then get fed up with waiting, so constantly hit refresh, giving the server yet more requests to deal with.

Bringing db to single user or lock mode is a must in all databases unless a new technology is introduced.. However, although expensive there are some alternative solutions like replicated/image backup but not sure this is a must or priority now..
just my opinion, stopping the old site and giving all efforts to the new one will be easier imo..And will decrease the server activity on disks ..
And from my experience, I always prefer to back up(sql) at late midnight hours , and during the day time, write the inserts, updates and deletes on sequential log files in case of a recovery necessity..

As to hourly backups, probably not that important in the scale of things. Temporarily set to a single middle-of-night backup. Also, at last crash (8:10pm), I increase the RAM by 50%, as that was the biggest issue...
few months ago I tested (it was production actually ;D) ordinary SSD disks (Kingston) on a server.. although everyone was against and the marketing people recommend expensive server type SSDs (which are silly expensive) I tried 3 SSDs on a server.. 2 are mirror (boot) and 1 for data .. it was really fast and I can recommend them.. must mention read lots of papers about them.. and considerably long time is necessary to see some erroneous memory blocks.. so , you can use them for either virtual memory or other purposes :yWe run an HP SMART Array P400 disk controller, which may be a bit fussy on SSDs... ...lot of money on something that might not work...

There's always Xmarks/Foxmarks/etc if you want to sync bookmarks between computers..
This slow sever issue is becoming a bit of a bind. Managed to loose a couple of posts somehow. Had hoped those days where gone. :(Yeah, I know its a PITA. For that I can only apologise. Not entirely sure what trigger is, not the backups as first thought.
Although I would appologise for my lack of patience and realize all is being done that can be.

I was shocked how many PMS were I use when we migrated - that's the only time we've ever seen a proper count. And remember, that didn't include the 'storage' boxes that could not be migrated.
No problems here :yAs said in lots of threads, possibly this one, the built in function doesn't seem to work in the way we need it to, so that needs investigation. But it's a fair way down the priority list I'm afraid, as I have so much other modifications and scripts to rewrite first
Any chance of a "edit" button ?

KW, H21 etc have aYup, already noted and in process of being actioned. :ynicesubtle difference in appearance...... :) I know they are "global" mods and Daz has not reached such exalted heights ....but his contribution to the forum is important and should be highlighted IMHO ( must be able to make his name pink surely ??? :) )

Is it? Oh Daddy I do love you :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
Performance has really picked up lately, its super fast this morning. Noticed it either loads instantly or times out occupationally.
Not that highlight works - I'm on that as well!Fixed
Typo, sorry. It seems that highlight is too difficult for an idiot to type... ...didn't the computer know what I meant? :P
I see it is now possible to see what each person online is viewing. I also noticed that guests are able to do the same thing.Could this cause problems ? :-\Yeah, it went PT. Sorry. Took me about 45mins to persuade it to behave. Now, if Sammy was available......
I noticed earlier that 6 (iirc) guests were viewing a members profile, and shortly after that 3 guests were viewing my profile. Not sure if thats a good idea ? :-\
Nope, not yet :-[. Its a fair way down the priority list at the moment, unless people can point out something fundamental that I've misunderstood about how important it is :-\Not that highlight works - I'm on that as well!Fixed

Firstly, I'd like to say thanks to the Admin staff for doing a fine & dandy job on running this forum. I hold my hat off to you all :yProfile..........Modify Profile............Instant Messaging............check box to allow pop-up notifications
Now you'll have to excuse my stupidity, ::) I've played with my account settings regarding notifications, I get emails letting me know about posts I'm watching, but when I come onto the website, I don't have the notification window pop up taking me to the notifications section ???
Have I not done something or does it not apply anymore?
Now being completly lazy, can the "notifications" tab be added on the main page along with Home, Help etc? Rather than go through "profile"?
If I'm going to be shot for asking, please make it in the head once, rather than be shot over and over again ;)
Thank you O'mighty Admin :y
keep getting outtages, failure to load page, no apparent pattern, just log go to open link to forum (new) and it sits there ....yeah, we're having issues
blackviper - AFAIK (this software is new for the Admin Team as well, so we're still finding our way around it as well), the notification system is purely email... ...unless it appear above the tabs (ie, by your avatar)? (I collapse this section, so not that clear what happens in there)Hi TB, thanks for that. I'm not complaining about it, was just wondering if it was an "option"
Where does this code keep coming from in my "Drives" profile?Apostrophes maybe? Wonder if the software doesn't decode properly, or it gets messed up in the database (text containing apostrophes need special conversions when stored in databases).

I'm having an issue with PMs using OOF at work which runs IE 6 without Java (Dont ask!)Sorry, don't have an IE6 to test with.
I bet it is because our IT system is in the stone age but was wondering if anyone else was having issues.
can you be specific with the problem? pm if you want

LD, the admins on here are such children, it's a good job that there are grown-ups like you and I on here to bring the standard up to an adult level. Otherwise this would be just a playground like any other car forum ::)

Anyway enough hijacking of this thread children ::)The amount of work to fix an unsupported browser might make it unlikey.

Bizarre!
:y :yIts a balancing act - the developers want to provide a modern experience, yet still support common broswers. IE6 (or 5, or 4 - yes, our logs still say they are out there, though I suspect many of these hits are masquarading as these browsers) is unsupported by its vendor, so web site developers rightly say they can't supoort it.
Not fussed for myself, I should be working anyway but I was concerned others using archaic browsers like mine
The more I use this new software, the more I think it's a shame yabb didn't keep up with development. I miss the appearance of yabb, but this is so much better in practical terms. Minor glitches aside of course.Yeah, the clean, simple lines of YaBB made it easy/clear/usable.
There is some hope for YaBB, which I'm not allowed to ellaborate on, but it will still be months off, even if it doesn't happen. OOF couldn't survive that in its previous form.I'll clarify that slightly, as I know many YaBB forum owners are looking at how successful our migration has been.
Corey Chapmans last post basically say's it may be dead by Christmas.I saw Corey's post last night. The final nail in the coffin :'(
YaBB is cracking software, methinks the problem is in the lack of coders who know how to code MySql.
A lot of the people code Perl and might not be up to speed on other systems, if it does not get some new, young or experienced coders it looks like it will be dead in the water.
Once you change to SMF I don't think folk will go back to YaBB unless a miracle happens with the staff behind the scenes.
