Sophisticated Skeptic Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 u guys should just revert to the previous software. this is why I haven't even upgraded my older forums...the newer versions are all about more live monitoring / spying crap. just like facebook. which slow the site down. it's great for advertisers , sucks for everybody else.

Hoosier Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 We're all annoyed with the slowdowns. Obviously it's unacceptable and it will be fixed one way or another. Thanks y'all for sticking around through this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophisticated Skeptic Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I'd recommend disabling all the auto-update features. Like even the ones that notify us of a reply now, with that sound notification. It's a cool feature to see there's a new reply, but if everybody's got that on by default...it has to be a huge strain on the server. other auto-update features as well, if their on by default.

wxeyeNH Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Been trying to log on all day, mostly timeouts. Everyone is having problems. If anytime of real weather events pop like a threatening tropical system I'm afraid the board would grind to a halt. I would be glad to donate more money to get this solved. I'm not a techy guy but can we just go back to the old software? I really appreciate all the work is that is done behind scenes but this forum is important to many people and this slowdown has gone on too long. What are the plans going forward?

Natester Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Just noticed that all the posts from November 20, 2010 onwards are fixed by this software that WoW mentioned last week. Not sure if it's related to the slowdown of the boards, though. Only a little bit more to go before all the posts are fixed! EDIT: All posts on this forum are now fixed. Checked a couple minutes ago.

Wow Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 The software has been rebuilding the posts since the upgrade. There was some coding that was slowing down the processes and the board down which I got resolved tonight. All posts are rebuilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jshetley Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I'm beginning to think this board will not be fixed unless it gets reverted back. Three weeks is too long for these issues to be going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wow Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Guys I ask you to just bear with me... there's a solution and we'll get it working. I'm not giving up on this. Today's been a rough day with the final reindexing task running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natester Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 One thing that I noticed is that the topic descriptions are missing. Is there an option on the new forum software? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Can we please stop the never ending "we are trying". 10,000 other internet sites do not constantly have these issues. Don't fool around with people who try and who experiment; get people who have done it and know how to do it and if there really is no owner anymore with commitment to do this then shut it down. This site is now all about ad revenue yet we are asked to contribute money for what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the ghost of leroy Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 some of the added features are awesome. posting articles with pictures, stuff from facebook, vines, twitter, etc are all so easy now. reverting for the sake of quickly fixing the problem would be a step back. it's not THAT bad...yall are just too addicted.

I can report this but one thing you can do is hit the source button and type a letter after the </blockquote> tag. Then hit the button again.

I don't think any forum urls changed...so if you can find a cached version of the old board we can copy it to the new one. It had no programming behind it... it was just plain old html/javascript.

Natester Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Can't view forum profiles (such as mine). :| Consequence of the database upgrade? EDIT: Nevermind, it's fixed. EDIT 2: I would like to mention that one of the attachments in my profile links to a topic that went missing. Is it still around or do you have to get it from backup?
