Sorry Shouldn't be too much longer

 

[eagle_predator]

[eagle_predator]

Yeah i'm still having problems hey.

 

[Canteen Worker]

Mine is stuffed. I have lost access to the mod functions as well.

 

[Dan]

**** looks like some of the changes which I reversed may have stuck. Not good but I will see what I can do to fix itin the morning

 

[Dan]

Sorry all.

I have been trying to keep the current software simply for a convenience thing for all, as such I wanted to develop the URL's so that instead of being

http://silvertails.net/silvertails-forums/index.php?topic=178152.msg193212

they would be
http://silvertails.net/silvertails-forums/Dan

or whatever the title is, it just makes more sense from a standpoint of SEO. However because this forum software is so royally screwed I couldn't do that and have now found the one remnant of code that was causing the problem.

Moving forward in the off season I will be keep Joomla I think, though I am benchmarking some other software options and I will then be looking at moving to a better forum software that also has a more flexible license.

Sorry for the inconvenience all.

Most of the changes I make are both to improve performance but also to try to improve exposure to the site, but getting better search engine ranking through SEO techniques like URL rewriting. I guess I should ask everyone to continue to try to spread the word of Silvertails.net as well though 🙂

Sorry again
Dan

No worries Dan, always happy to help with your Beta testing 🙂

 

[Dan]

😉

Yeah this forum is sucking more by the minute
the sooner I get us off of it the better

 

[eagle_predator]

Thanks for the info updates Dan, but i still can't post ? then some of those posts show up afterwards.

 

[Dan]

yeah it is really weird. None of the code that I changed is still here so it seems something changed without my knowledge. I tried another 'fix' and I will see how that goes.

Let me know if it imroves. As a rule try deleting all cookies and internet temp files and this may help.

Otherwise I am going to have to kick this software in the guts asap and just go with a temp solution until year-end

I am still having problems - I have to log in and still can get into the special mod functions!

 

[Dan]

Your other post says it is working now?

I am doing a fresh install today and migrating where the forums are located, they are not fully integrated anyway so I may as well just re-theme the forum part of the site

Then look to move to another software later and I can just bridge the users manually until I decide whether to move to wordpress next year.

User front-end contributions are at zero since moving to this system so we don't get any benefit anyway. Once the footy tipping is over we can make those decisions though

All good now. You are a champ.

All good now. You are a champ.
