As of 10:00PST on sunday we closed the forums. Since then we have re-installed Win2k on the Hot Boat server and made some major upgrades. We have also changed to an SQL based forums. The speed difference should be substantial.
There are a couple of things that did not make it through the upgrade. It is unfortunate, but it is the price to pay for a quicker browsing experience. So far the only one I have really noticed is that the UBB code such as bold did not seem to last through the upgrade. UBB code and VBulletin code are mostly the same however, and should not take long to figure out.
Another change of note is that I am now limiting the size of the avatars.
If you have any questions about this upgrade, please post them here.

Ok gang the deal on the upgrades to elaborate on ***boat's posting:
1. We have been wanting to do a fresh install for a while and have finally gotten time to do so. We figured most of you would be watching football all day so this wouldnt be a bother! Well hopefully that and some beers made you forget about your woes of not being here! We probably even got some good and bad things from your wives, girlfriends, or both for some of you, for being away from the computer for so long. But in the end this upgrade has given a much faster computer to work with. There was a couple of major things wrong from dell's default install. So those are all fixed and we are now cooking.
2. The forums as you all know by now have completely changed over! Most were probably in shock when you came in. This is good. We have been planning a forum for quite some time now. And since we were down there redoing everything we both agreed to upgrade the forums. So ***boat went online and finalized his research for the perfect forum for you all. And this is what we came up with. This forum is a lot faster and more stable than our previous one. Which means less headaches for all.
Well we all do appreciate the patience today. I hope we didnt bother to many of you with this update. But we believe it is for the better. And so we do hope you enjoy it.

That is no good. I will try and re-build the PM index now. There were a couple of issues with the PM transfers, but it should not have been anything like that.
Anyone else having PM problems please post them here.

BigBoyToys
10-20-2003, 03:02 AM
You can even attach files now!! I Like it!:D :D You mean you didn't include the extension .mp3 in the allowed file type? LOL Just kidding....you'd have RIAA all over ya!;)

***boat
10-20-2003, 03:07 AM
Both.
Max Dim is 70pixels by 70 pixels
Max file size is 40k
I am not against changing these, however it will significantly speed up the viewing of the forums if they are kept to this size.

Uh oh....Here's a BIG Problem!!! Although I have edited my profile options
"Use 'Email Notification' by default?
Using this option emails you whenever someone replies to a thread that you have participated in. yes no"
To no, every time someone posts I get an email telling me someone has posted........ My email mailbox has MANY new emails from HB notifying me that someone has posted..... This isn't a good thing :(

BigBoyToys

Well, I still did just get an email from HB when you just posted ***boat, but it was filtered and sent to my trash.....
I have turned this feature off in my profile options, yet I still get emails anytime someone posts. I have figured out a way around it but there will be MANY on the forums that will be overwhelmed with emails if this isn't fixed.......

Good Morning there Mike! I see that you don't have the title of Moderator either.....You still a Mod or are you just another "senior member" like me?;) :D

It appears all the images are not showing up as the code surrounding them changes. I just changed one back successfully by typing in the img /img (in square brackets) and eliminating all the other crap. That would be a huge job to do manually though. Like on wild vdrives.... :eek!:

This email notification thing has gotta go! I can imagine coming home from vacation and having a thousand emails telling me someone posted in a topic I have participated in..... Not only will it slow down my server, it will also take much longer for legit emails to come through:frown: And I have tried it with the options set both ways....off and on. It doesn't matter though and I still receive emails every time someone posts in a topic that I have posted in. Not a good thing:( :confused: :confused:

I think that when you "attach a file" it will by default show as a link. I think that's a good idea. If you want to embed the image in the post, use the IMG tag with a URL address.
After you disable your email notification in your user control panel, be sure to disable it again when you post. It is the second of four choices you get everytime you reply. It should stay deselected for subsequent posts.

My inbox is full of pms that I'm sure weren't sent to me. In adition, all of the PMs that were there before are now gone.
Ever heard of the term test bed? It would have been easy enough to back up the old DB and migrate the data over to a new SQL table. Then set up a test version of the board and do a little QA while the old board was running in the foreground for the users. After doing a little testing to verify functionality, make the switch.
I know it's a free service and I'm sure a terse response will be weilded shortly by the admin, but it's not like a sanity check prior to a new installation is unheard of.
Other than that I'm sure the bugs will be worked out in a while and all will be back to normal.

Look for the default reply option settings. "Email Notifications" (second choice) appears to override the User CP settings, and is selected by default.
I have stopped receiving emails, but of course I don't know if it was my change, or because you disabled them for now.

Ok I am going to turn on HTML, but it will need to be turned off again the minute we start having problems with people abusing javascript functions and so on.
Being annoying with your knowledge of HTML will get you banned, normal stuff is fine.
Brief list of what i don't want to see:
1. Anything javascript
- popup windows
- window close functions
- onLoad, onMouseOver, onMouseOut, onMouseAnything at all
- Back to the no javascript, just stay away from event handlers all together
2. Flashing text

Logins not working: If your login name was different than your display name, now your display name is your login name.
Postcount off: Sorry, but if the conversion tool did not get it right then for now it will be staying that way. As things quite down I will look at correcting post counts.
The conversion process took over 6 hours, so we are not going back and doing that again.

If you want one in your signature, use the standard IMG syntax:

in your signature data field.
The old CODE tags were better, IMO, for nullifying tag interpretation.

My PM's that I have been saving with contact number etc. are all gone:frown:
but I also got someone else PM's and they were really juicy:D
Looks like I'll be spending the day re-learning my way around this place:rolleyes:
I also lost a couple hundred on my post count!

Ever heard of the term test bed? It would have been easy enough to back up the old DB and migrate the data over to a new SQL table. Then set up a test version of the board and do a little QA while the old board was running in the foreground for the users. After doing a little testing to verify functionality, make the switch.
I know it's a free service and I'm sure a terse response will be weilded shortly by the admin, but it's not like a sanity check prior to a new installation is unheard of.
Other than that I'm sure the bugs will be worked out in a while and all will be back to normal.

Actually there was no first database to begin with. That is why the old forums were so slow. It was all contained in text files. Some of them were corrupt as well. It would have been nice to have more time in testing, but PERL crashed hard on us and facing another 12 hours of forums closure was not a good option.
Most of the bugs that can be worked out will be corrected soon. Some things however will not be worked out, and that is the price of going to a faster system. We did the conversion between the UBB and VBulletin twice and had the same results both times with off post counts and odd PM's. It was agreed upon that as long as the bulk of the threads made the move in a month none of that would matter. I am still working on the post counts however, if you had two profiles and I joined them for you in the old board your post count will not recover. The new system actually counts the posts you have in the threads in the index.

Yeah, this is great, I have now hit 1,000 two times and from the looks of it, it'll be three times in another 34 or so posts.
This software must be using a rubber calculator to add up the post totals...
