I have finished migrating to the new forum software. Welcome to the new forums. Excuse the dust as I get some of the kinks out and continue to tweak the look and feel. Not everything tranferred as smoothly as I'd hoped, so you may have to re-do signature pics or avatars. If you find any anomalies, please PM me or post here about them so I can investigate.

 

Thanks!

Nice Job Meadowmufn! Having to get used to the white but I like it.

Yeah, the white might take some getting used to. Not sure if I'll keep it that way or not, but it does make things a bit more readable, doesn't it? When I upgrade the board to 4.0, I might switch things up again. I had a great skin I'd created for 4.0 that used the dark background. Unfortunately, I found too many issues with 4.0 at the moment, the biggest of which was not interpreting BBCode correctly. I really didn't feel like going through and updating 4000 posts to fix the BBCode. (I know, I'm lazy. LOL!) And I couldn't find a resolution on the IP community forum. So, until the next 4.X release and I get adventurous enough to do so, we're using a slightly earlier version. At any rate, that's the reason the upgrade took too long. The first migration to 4.0 revealed the BBCode issue, so I started over and migrated to 3.4.7. That migration went well, but I found a bug in the moderation tools (which I found out later had a workaround). So, hopeful that a successful migration to an earlier version would fix the BBCode problem in 4.0, I upgraded, only to find the issue still there. UGH. So, I started over and went back to 3.4.7. LOL. Not exactly a smooth transition, but I think things are mostly working now.

 

In the next few weeks, I'll probably open tickets with IP to address some of the issues I've found, but for the meantime, enjoy the new forums!

Thanks for all the hard work you do MM.

Thank goodness I didn't lose my avatar or signature quote. The quote I could have figured out but I had someone else do the avatar for me since I was (and still am) technologically challenged.

Most of the problems with sigs had to do with accounts that had images. I think most of the regulars came through unscathed, but I know there are some accounts with sig problems. I think most avatars came through ok too. There are a few little quirks I'm finding here and there and fixing them as I go along. If any of you find any issues, let me know in this thread.

One new cool feature is that you can see a notice on the chat tab in the forum navigation bar that shows how many people are in the chatroom. Pretty neat. Hopefully that wil get people using it more. If we get to the point where we regularly have more than 5 people wanting to use it, I'll upgrade to a larger room.

I will be upgrading the forums to 4.0 sometime this week, hopefully today. The forums will be locked during the upgrade. I'm not sure how long it will take, so I'll say at least overnight.

Well, the upgrade didn't go well. There are still some issues that will keep me from upgrading to the current version. I'll wait until the next version comes out and try again. I have no idea when that will be.

Warning points sound like they might be fun. What can I do to get them?

LOL Always trying to stir stuff up ain't I MM? That should be worth at least 2 warning points!

LOL, Rog! Since I'm pretty easy going, you'd have to get in a mess of trouble before I started handing out warning points. It's mostly for bad language, insulting people (maliciously, not friendly banter), and general un-Duke-like behavior.

Roger Duke is a real jerk and I can't stand him.

Come on now, I just insulted a pretty nice old timer. If that's not good for a couple warning points I don't know what is.

It will be a hysterical day on the HazzardNet if I can be the first one to get some.

I think I meant to say historical.

(One of my all time favorite Rosco lines)

Sorry, Rog. You'll have to try harder. I mean, all of us like to insult RogerDuke from time to time. It's pretty common really.

Hey, thanks for adding me as a friend MM!....Warning Points.....hmmmm......seems to me that's something they give out to traffic violators when they've been doing 12 oz. curls behind the wheel!  That's a No!
No!!   Shame Shame !!  Everybody Knows Your Name!!

Can we lose our warning points by doing a free concert at the Boar's Nest?

Yes, all warning points will be torn up if you perform a free concert at the Boar's Nest. If you have no musical talent, you can wash dishes in the back.

Can we play a wash board or blow in a jug, like Denver Pyle has done in other shows???

I suppose that qualifies as "musical". LOL.

I upgraded the forums to 3.4.8. Let me know if any of you experience any anomalies.

 

One small issue I've noticed: the "01" icon on the browser tab bar (favicon.ico) seems to have been replaced by an Invision Power icon since the recent upgrade. The original icon still shows up when viewing HNet's front page.

 

NB. I get the same results in four different browsers.

Just wanted to say the same, the icon in my favorites changed all of a sudden.

Oh, uhm... sorry for double posting but I just tried to change my above post but it said I don't have permission to do so. I think that should be changed so we can edit it after like the previous forum. I believe it was 1 hour after? So much forums I mix them up sometimes.

 

What I wanted to change in the previous post was "I was about to say the same".

Ok, thanks. I'll fix that when I get home from work tonight. I think editing is only available for 10 minutes. I'll bump that up to an hour.

When I'm on the HazzardNet money doesn't flow out of my computer like it's a one armed bandit. Is this a technical glitch?

Yes, it is.

I may attempt to upgrade the forums to the 4.0+ version this weekend. If it doesn't work, I'll roll it back to the current version. So, if by Sunday, things haven't changed, you'll know it went as well as Rosco trying to perform the same jump the Duke boys did.
