Please bare with us as the Pyracy Pub message board service continues to be sluggish. From our activity logs, it appears that we're being over run by too many bots, flooding the site to scrape information. I'm currently working with out web hosting service, our technical support team and I'm looking into a 3rd party service for help. Feel free to post/share any slow or sluggish service you may be having here - include date and times if possible.

I have used links to the forum in many places - on my website, in social media, here in the Pub itself. They used to be in this form: https://pyracy.com/index.php?showtopic=10480 They are now in this form: https:// pyracy.com/topic/11787-bale-seals-company-emblems-makers-marks-trade-symbols/page/2/#comments When the mods were trying to sort topics out of the huge pile a few months ago in preparation for restarting the Pub, the old form worked. (I checked a couple at the time.) It no longer works. Can we adjust it so the old form still works? It must be able to be done because it was working before forum was restored by someone else. Otherwise, the…

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.

Some of you who do not follow the Pyracy Pub's status on Facebook will have noted that the Pub was down for many days. Please let me explain. The company that handles our overall service and carries the Pub on their servers were updating their entire system and software. The Pub has a number of custom written codes and protocols that help reduce spam and traffic issues, and which also increase our posting capacities and archiving. So in addition to new software, these custom codes for the Pub created a connection issue during the transition, so some code had to be re-written. We appreciate your patience. We assure you that everything is carefully archived and we kee…

After careful consideration, weighed against cost and use, it's been decided that the image gallery should be removed. With so many popular, online, image storage sites available, we feel that we cannot justify the cost of maintaining an image gallery. There are more simple ways to store and link images to the Pub, so we'll be taking the gallery down at some point in the next few weeks. Please save any images that you don't have stored or linked offsite. We will continue to archive all other materials on the Pub, as we always have, but the gallery's time has come and gone.

OK, is it me being technically stupid or is there a problem with trying to load a picture as part of my sig line? I want to take the old expired photo out and put a new one in but when I go to images on the sig line edit it just sits there.

I would like to be able to put text and images next to each other, with text on the left side and images on the right side of the screen when I post my pirate movie reviews. It would look so much better to have the images next to the words instead of being trailed at the end of the review like I'm doing now. But I can't seem to make the BBCode do that. I Googled a few tricks for doing this, but I can't make them work. The post editor apparently doesn't understand [imgalign=right] or [floatright], for example, if those codes are even able to do what I'm trying to do. Is it even possible to put text and pictures next to each other on this board, and if so, how?

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!

Is there any way that the pub can support the tapatalk app for smartphones? I tend to check it more than my computer.

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.)

In the name of security I selected a few admin features that in the end only frustrated, locked out and made some of you think we had lost your login information. Well those problems should be fixed now and I apologize for the scare.

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 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…
