I was also wondering what the upgrades are going to be like. I'm not against change, but this site is great as is! My you, the search function could be a bit more effective.

Bring it on!

Sorry it doesnt meet your expectations.

We upgraded the forum to try and combat the hundreds of spammers who try and sometimes succeed in logging into and posting in this forum
Version 2.0 has more options to combat these people than the other version.

As Randy has posted you can change the look by going to:

Profile -> Modify profile -> look and Layout -> current theme <change> -> at the bottom change to "core"

It is kinda FUNKY but I think I can get used to it. I see we still have a Chat Room tab on top as well, have to see if it works. If it still kicks CRG out every 15 minutes than all is back to normal!! ;D

I tried logging out of Tapatalk and back in, and it doesn't show any of the forum sections, posts, etc.  If I click on the PM tab it just hangs..

I'll do the whole 'clear cache delete data start over from scratch' and see if it behaves after that.

Curt, change to the 'core' theme and it will look pretty much like it used to.

Profile -> Modify profile -> look and Layout -> current theme <change> -> at the bottom change to "core"

Well let see, I went to Profile -> Modify profile -> look and Layout -> current theme <change> -> at the bottom change to "core"
When I try to move my curser over to look and layout it disappeers. Anybody else having this problem or am I just having a bad day?
Title: Re: They are upgrading the Forum!

Title: Re: They are upgrading the Forum!
Post by: devo on August 06, 2011, 10:31:43 AM
Yes the first time it let me change it no problems to what I thought was the one I wanted but when I went to change to another one thats when the problem started. Sorry but I can't remember which one I changed it to that made this happen.
Title: Re: They are upgrading the Forum!
Post by: devo on August 06, 2011, 11:08:43 AM
Well now that was strange. I actually had to right click on Modify profile, then click on properties and wait for the property box to show up, than move my curser across it so I could click on look and layout. Got it all changed the way I want it now. The theme that was giving me trouble was Babylon theme. Switched to the core theme and I don't have the same problem. Gremlins maybe???? Can we smoke those???

Hello Everyone

The forum has been upgrade to this version mainly to combat the growing amount of spammers
Version 2.0 has more means of combating them than the previous version.

I know it has a differant look and feel to it and you can change the way it looks by going to:

Profile -> Modify profile -> look and Layout -> current theme <change> -> at the bottom change to "core"


As for the Chat Room

The old one we were using is not compatible with this version so I opted for this one
When the original chat room gets upgraded to use with SMF ver 2.0 I will change it back

We are also working on the Tapatalk mod as well for some reason it does not want to talk to the server, I have turned it over to the IT guys
to figure it out.


Brian.

I guess chat is not ready yet. I can get into it by allowing cookies from www.sidesparks.com. It shows me as a guest. The info bar does not show anyone in chat, so if you do get into it, nobody will know you are there.
