Meadowmufn Posted May 3, 2015 Report Posted May 3, 2015 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! Quote
Roth Potter Posted May 3, 2015 Report Posted May 3, 2015 Nice Job Meadowmufn! Having to get used to the white but I like it. Quote
Meadowmufn Posted May 3, 2015 Author Report Posted May 3, 2015 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! Quote
RogerDuke Posted May 4, 2015 Report Posted May 4, 2015 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. Quote
Meadowmufn Posted May 4, 2015 Author Report Posted May 4, 2015 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. Quote
Meadowmufn Posted May 5, 2015 Author Report Posted May 5, 2015 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. Quote
Meadowmufn Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Posted May 6, 2015 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. Quote
RogerDuke Posted May 8, 2015 Report Posted May 8, 2015 Warning points sound like they might be fun. What can I do to get them? Quote
RogerDuke Posted May 8, 2015 Report Posted May 8, 2015 LOL Always trying to stir stuff up ain't I MM? That should be worth at least 2 warning points! Quote
Meadowmufn Posted May 12, 2015 Author Report Posted May 12, 2015 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. Quote
RogerDuke Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 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) Quote
Meadowmufn Posted May 14, 2015 Author Report Posted May 14, 2015 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. Quote
Hobie Hartkins Posted May 14, 2015 Report Posted May 14, 2015 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!! Quote
HossC Posted May 14, 2015 Report Posted May 14, 2015 Can we lose our warning points by doing a free concert at the Boar's Nest? Quote
Meadowmufn Posted May 15, 2015 Author Report Posted May 15, 2015 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. Quote
Hobie Hartkins Posted May 16, 2015 Report Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) Can we play a wash board or blow in a jug, like Denver Pyle has done in other shows??? Edited May 16, 2015 by Hobie Harkins Quote
Meadowmufn Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Posted May 16, 2015 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. Quote
Meadowmufn Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Posted May 16, 2015 I upgraded the forums to 3.4.8. Let me know if any of you experience any anomalies. Quote
HossC Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 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. Quote
Roth Potter Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 Just wanted to say the same, the icon in my favorites changed all of a sudden. Quote
Roth Potter Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 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". Quote
Meadowmufn Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Posted May 18, 2015 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. Quote
RogerDuke Posted May 27, 2015 Report Posted May 27, 2015 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? Meadowmufn 1 Quote
Meadowmufn Posted June 3, 2015 Author Report Posted June 3, 2015 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. Quote
