Forum/Server move

[Chevy454]

If you're here, then you've noticed that we've moved over to this server. We're changing for the better, to a faster & more reliable server, hosted by "JoshPet", whom switched us all over, and has helped us in the past on some technical problems. We upgraded the forum software, which brought with it some more features, but also enables us to expand and add more features down the road. Mainly, though, this should eliminate the problems we've had as of late and allow this place to be more stable and reliable.

So, if you notice some wierd stuff happening the next couple of days with the website, please be patient, as it should be back to normal soon.

[Belair62]

Looks great so far .......

[Chevy454]

The look should be darn near the same, except for the added features. But, there should be a noticable increase in speed...even us "po folk" on dial-up can notice a slight boost in speed!

[Belair62]

Damn...this place is flying !! It can't be my AOL ...

[68l30]

And a ton faster.... http://host.threadshosting.com/~yenko/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif

A couple of new features are a reworked "search" page and an interactive calendar.

I agree, the "Supercar Registry" just got better. I didn't think that was possible!! http://host.threadshosting.com/~yenko/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[68z302]

Man at first I thought it was my computer going goofy.
Looks Great http://host.threadshosting.com/~yenko/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

[sYc Yenko]

I miss the PM Car Horn.
I always think someone is Outside waiting,or then I spill my Coffee. http://host.threadshosting.com/~yenko/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif
No wait,..No I don't,Leave it just the way it is. http://host.threadshosting.com/~yenko/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[JChlupsa]

??? Hits Counter??? Can it be adjusted to show the total hits or will it begin over since its a new host? Shows the dreaded <font color="red"> X </font> now

[Pantera]

I am on a DSL line and it is much better. It was so slow sometimes I would fall asleep waiting for big threads to load. It also has the correct width for my screen and the text doesn't run off to the right where I can't read it anymore. Thanks for the improvment... Looks good. Now if we just had a automatic spell checker.... Sigh.... Oh well we can't have everything..... But we can dream and who knows mabey someday.... http://host.threadshosting.com/~yenko/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

[55chevy]

A way to search for picture attachments would be cool too. http://host.threadshosting.com/~yenko/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

[JChlupsa]

Auto Spell checker ??? Thought we did have one Try spelling Nevada wrong once http://host.threadshosting.com/~yenko/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif http://host.threadshosting.com/~yenko/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[Chevy454]

I'm working on getting the "PM notification", or "car horn" as it's also known, back up and running, but it's still on the back burner. I liked it, but if someone didn't, they could simply turn off the horn, and/or the popup window, via "my home".

I should be able to set the counter to whatever I want, as soon as I get some other stuff squared away here. I've got 2 feature cars to get online, some more server business to handle, and a few other odds 'n' ends to do.

As for the "spell checker", it's on my list, but I'll have to see about the "attachment" search. Not sure how I could swing that one...

[JChlupsa]

Did everyone notice that the server time is different. I had to adjust my posting times by -2 hours to correct the times I post compared to the servers.

[Chevy454]

Good point, Jeff.

For those of you wondering what he's talking about, scroll down to the bottom of the main forum page, to where it says "Current adjusted date is". If it's wrong, click on it, and adjust accordingly!

[Pantera]

Spell checker ???? I thought that was what Charlie Lillard was for????

http://host.threadshosting.com/~yenko/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif




Ha.. Ha.... gotcha - Charlie..... Everybody else does it so I didn't want you to think I didn't like you too.

[moparts]

spel chekr whoo tha hec neds thart.

[Belair62]

Charley was a cyborg who resided only on the old server...he didn't come with the new software.

[Chevy454]

Wel, I got the "spell check" added lat night, and it looks like the domain switch has taken place, so all links should now work correctly. I've got a couple more additions planned for this evening, but the hard part is over with. Now I can get a feature car or 2 up...

[Musclecarkid]

Rob, looks like you forgot to use the spell check.Sorry I couldn't resist http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif

[Chevy454]

By golly, you're right! Now I have no excuse! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Pantera]

I don't know what happened but I have been locked out of the forum all afternoon. It would cycle back and forth between the forums list and then when I would select one it would give me a single link to click to get to the new forum which I had changed on my menu the day you changed over. It would just go back and forth and finally I decided it was not going to ever let me in and I tryed just about every trick I knew till I decided to reboot the computter and that did the trick. Now it seems ok??? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

[NWYENKO]

Rob, thanks for all the hard work!! Since everyone is asking for their little changes how about the "mark all read" option. No BIGGY but I really use it a lot. Especially when I see a post by Charley http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/CharleySucks.gifHappy New Year to ALL!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif Jim

[Norm reynolds]

Now thats much better I have DSL at 1.5 speed and for the last month every time I went on here it was so slow like I had A 9.6 on a old phone line I thought it was at my end now this site flys http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif
thanks Tom and Rob for the good work http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif

[Chevy454]

Jim:

Look in your "my home" for the mark all read...some other cool stuff in there now also!

[55chevy]

Larry.. it's starting to sound more and more like your computer sucks http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif Sell some of that stuff and go get you a new one! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[Steve_Hoog]

So you have established that Larry's computer sucks and Charley's post?

[mhassett]

Looking forward to the "CAR HORN" I really liked that. I had 5 pm's and I didn't even know it because I didn't hear the horn honk http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif Thanks, Mark

[55chevy]

for some reason I'm getting an email notice for PMs now http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif I hated the "car horn" alert.. More than once I was feeding my daughter looking at the forum and unknowingly had the volume too high... the HONK! happened and scared the bejesus out of her. Made her jump and cry and she spit the bottle out... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gifDamn car horn http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

[Chevy454]

All of those issues are adressed in your "my home", Ed, and can be turned on/off. The beauty of this software is the adjustability to the user's likings, but not all people know it's available.

I would encourage everyone to take a look around their "my home"! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[MikeA]

I just noticed we have spell check! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I had to go to -4 Jeff, you're 2 or 3 behind me so how did -2 work for you? It should be -6 or -7 for you... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[JChlupsa]

I was already at a set time just had to adjust it another -2 hours to make up the time difference.

[Steve_Hoog]

If we had it before I didn't know, but thank you for the ignore button!!!

[Chevy454]

The PM alert (or "car horn" as Mark puts it! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif) is back! But, if you don't care for it, you can easily go to "My Home" and turn off JUST the horn, or the horn and pop-up box BOTH. That's the neat part, as you can taylor it to however you want it. But, by default, BOTH the pop-up box and car horn was set to "on" for all users when it was re-installed.

[Jeff Murphy]

Mine sounds like a harp not a car horn http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

[Chevy454]

Try it now...

[SS427]

Jeff, That's not a good sign! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

[Jeff Murphy]

Ah... Beep, Beep. Bliss!!
