Today, 2023 0325 we updated the Pub's Software to version 4.7.8 That includes updates to the User Interface, Downloads & GraphQL enhancements (whatever that is). It obviously messed with our layout - I'll get to work fixing that. Hopefully it'll be fixed within the next few days. In the mean time everything should be working as before, but please report any connection, navigation or display issues. Thanks

As some of you may have noticed, the Pub has been on and offline recently - I apologize. After months ( if not longer ) of wrestling with legacy software issues, I finally broke down, wiped the system clean and basically did a fresh reinstall. Needless to say it hasn’t gone as smooth as I would have liked, but it rarely does when weeding out bad code and unneeded directories that are still referenced by the messageboard software we use. If anyone has any problems please let me know.

when I'm out and about I like to check in with the pub on my iphone. Unfortunately, this site seems to do this auto-dectect thing and defaults to a "lo-fi" format when it senses I'm using a mobile device. Many websites do this but they usually provide an option to switch to the full version of the site. I can find no such option when viewing the pub on my iphone. The end result is I get absolutely no graphics and many features return the error, "can't do this with a lo-fi theme". The funny thing is, when I pull up the pub on my LG phone, it doesn't do the auto-detect for mobile and gives me the full site.

In the spring you should make the skull's pupils a flower (like a Brady Bunch flower) and make the bg tint light yellow; in the summer, you should make the pupils suns (really dopey ones with spiky rays like an 8 year old would draw) and make the bg tint light green; and in fall you should make the pupils leaves and the tint rust colored. Either that or just leave it icicles and blue tint all year round and pretend you never saw this post. (Personally, I don't get the tint. It doesn't make intuitive sense.)

With the new software we now have a "Reputation Points". It seems that the only way you get them is members rate your posts! 1 point (Plus or Minus) per post per member. So get to rating your friends. At least that is how it seems to work. PS Stynky if I'm wrong please correct me.

After stepping thru the instructions with Cascabel - I realize that these instructions are severely out of date. Hopefully all will be remedied and things will become a bit more intuitive after this week's software upgrade. . . . and um, someone like Mission and Brig write a new tutorial.

Some things have changed...like my parameters to the pub's 'field of view' doesn’t fit my little 15 inch screen. When I try to add an attachment such as a link or photo to my post, the ‘field’ where you put said information is cut off on the left hand side of my screen and I cannot move over to view it. Yes, I have tried to adjust my physical screen to adjust to this…but it does not work. Any suggestions?

Like those damned grocery stores - just when you get comfortable with where they've stocked your favorite brand of hardtack, everything gets shuffled around and you can't find anything. Well believe it or not - in an attempt to make this unwieldy vessel into something a bit more navigable, a whole lot of changes are on the horizon. Now you don't have to like it, just pretend to. - Stynk

I was just thinking that it is annoying that the events forum contains all the old topics and requires a new topic for the same event each year. It would be cool if there was a sort of uber-post which is ALWAYS at the top of an event thread, no matter what page of the thread you were on. This should contain the bare-bone basics (and not much else): Where (City, State & encompassing location - the park, pier, fort or whatever) When (Event Times and Days) What (A single paragraph explaining the concept of the event) Who (A contact person, pm, phone number or whatever) Web-site URL (if such exists) Facebook Page (for one often exists these days) I have …

The only log in option I can find is to use facebook. To get an option that allows me to use my regular login information I need to try to do something forbidden to nonmembers, like view a profile. Is this an intentional upgrade to push folks toward using facebook?

The Pub has a new Image Gallery System that's been rewritten from the ground up. I lost my internet connection during the install/upgrade process, which promptly took down the Gallery and the Pub along with it - that was a couple of days ago. Once I my internet connection was restored, it was trivial getting the Pub back up and running - however the Gallery was crippled and offline. Yesterday evening I was finally able to the Gallery back on line (with the help of Jason), but that's as far as I've gotten. I'm sure there's plenty to do from an Administrative stand point - ropes to pull, features to setup and activate, people to throw overboard. I'll be working on doin…

I don't see anything like the "See all unread topics" link as before. Is something like that in the works? It was a real time saver. I don't want to have to visit every sub-forum to see if there's an interesting thread going on.

Not seeing any new topics (the lazy person's short cut--that would be mine!) Looks like there haven't been any new conversations in the last two weeks, and I know that isn't right. Or is it? Hopefully when I go back and check, this will pop up. We'll see!

OK, it looks neat with all the nice banners, but it makes for a slog if you want to find forums past the first couple. Scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll... The Outline format wasn't exactly pretty, but it was simple and the forum layout was clear. Just MHO.

Hey Paul! When you upgraded the system, I think the default allowance for number of links in a post got changed! Some of the index threads are not working properly - they only allow so many links before they just spew all the hard-wrought links out in a sort of alphabet puke. Please, please, please fix this! Love, Mission (who actually hates you too)
