I'm not really sure what is going on the with site. This board is the only one affected out of all the others on the server. It has got to be related to the PostNuke site, so I'm beginning the hunt for a new software base and preparing for the process involved with it. In the mean time, I hope that it will just magically fix itself, but I don't have my hopes up.
If users could please tell me, when did you first notice the issue with the site? Did you see any strange users online at the time?
Thanks,
CJ

i think it was around 200 pm, and yes i think there was a new user on line around that time. but i don't remember his name.
-
thanks chris, looks like you got it fixed or it fixed itself.
-
Yeah, I still think I'll be searching for a new software base. It's about time to move our site ahead to 2008 at least. haha
And with that. What are some features that you would like to see on the new site?
-
1. Ability to post more than 4 pics per post.
2. PM's kept in some sort of order.
3. Individual photo albums.
4. spell check
5. still thinking...............
-
Here's a couple that I'd like to add. I'll put them here so I remember.
1. Using lightbox or something similar for viewing photos posted (http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/lightbox2/index.htm)
2. The ability to hover over a topic and view the first few lines of the post.
-
To keep sent PM's and spell check.
-
Make it so that everytime you click an attachment it doesn't scroll you to the top of the page.
-
maybe the board the czars and h.a.m.b. use. i suppose everything will go away?
-
definitely would like to have a photo album, much easier to post and organize photos.
-
If we can't save the stuff that is on here I vote we just keep what we have.
-
good point eyeball.... it would suck to lose everything
-
Is it just me or has the site been slow lately again?
-
It's you.
-
Not slow for me..........so it must be you!! :D
-
It works fine at the shop but not at the dorms. It was the only slow site at the dorms.
-
It's painfully slow for me. It was slow on driven's internet, and now that I've moved I'm on a faster connection and the site is even slower for me.
-
You get what you pay for..... :)

I don't know enough about this stuff to know what is available (ie. how cool our site is compared to what is possible) and whether the maintenance required by Chris would be worth it. Apart from the suggestions mentioned above that all sound good to me, I think the site is great. Losing everything would be kinda tough, but I'm assuming that means we'll have to lose everything eventually? I'm extremely grateful that our club has such a cool forum, so I'm down for whatever.
Oh yeah, its never been slow over here and I'm usually on everyday or every couple days.
-
Is it just me or is the site really slow. Was slow at home last night and today at work also.
-
I am not haveing any problems except with Reeds post. I think the problem is just so many pics to load on that one. I will let CJ know.
-
That would be my guess as well. If the photos are really large, it processes each of the pictures to create a thumbnail or at the very least a smaller size of the image. This in turn takes time, and proccessing power. I'm sure that's what's going on. Everything seems quick for me.
