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

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.

After stepping thru the instructions with Cascabel - I realize that these instructions are severely out of date.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.

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?

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.

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?

As much as I hate to press advertising on everyone, as part of my agreement with Bloody - its how I’m paying for the Pub.

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.

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 …

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.)

Stynky has done a really good job of keeping the forum software up-to-date. The folks behind the software have a user group which comes up with cool new ideas that get added whenever the software is updated, but that aren't explained to us plebians. I happened to find this one by accident, and it's worth sharing: You'll find it on every forum index page (including 'View New Content' and 'Recent Postings' as I've shown here). It allows you to see a brief preview of the first post on the forum index pages so that you don't actually have to go into the post to view it and then back out again to get to the forum index page again. (That may be confusing...just move your mou…

I was playing around with the skin editor...without permission or anything... and I accidentally changed the forum colors to the skin I created. I can't quite figure out how to change it back, but I sort of like the new one. (But then, I would.) Anyhow, I don't know if Stynky will keep it or not, but it was sort of fun to play with. (As you may have noticed, I am a fan of the old colors - the browns we had before we upgraded the first time. I did hate that dark colored woody background we used to have, but the browns are piratey IMO. Blue is Facebooky.)

I am a big fan of search functions on forums as I sometimes use them to type in things I want to use later or copy into my notes. But have you ever had the problem where you search a forum and you come up with a thread with dozens of pages of replies? The forum (so far) doesn't take you directly to the page where the search term came up. However, I stumbled across something that may be helpful just now. If you are inside of a particular thread, you can search that thread only and the search function will produce all the posts that contain the word you want. So rather than clicking through dozens of the pages, all you have to do is select the thread containing the term an…

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

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.
