XV1100SE Posted October 28, 2014 Share #79 Posted October 28, 2014 Looking good Don. I'd say keep the colours (blue) for familiarity. You know some of these old codgers here can't take changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share #80 Posted October 28, 2014 Look again. I've been working on the colors. There will be a default option though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freebird Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share #90 Posted October 29, 2014 Yep. It's OK. Very stable. Will be updating it soon but the next one will be seamless. This one is hard because of major changes from 3.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share #91 Posted October 29, 2014 Well, I think I am close to making the switch. I worked on the test site until about 3:30 this morning. Once it goes live, there will still be a ton of work to do on it. After upgrading the test site to the new software version, I then had to get rid of all the modifications that we use here but wouldn't run on the new software. That would have been a nightmare had I actually be asleep. Most of them had "uninstall" routines but I now know that most are very lacking in actually removing everything. I ended u searching and manually deleting a lot of orphan files that got left behind and were causing some major issues with database crashes and etc. Our current classifieds will be gone. I have already installed a new classifieds system and though you may like it better or not as well, it co-exists better with the new software. All classifieds will be lost so any of you who have things listed for sale will have to submit new ones after the move. There is not yet an interface with the chat room but I'll be working on that. In the meantime, Flyinfool has a link to the html version of our current chatroom that he hopefully will post after the move. Home page is just barely there for now. I will be working on that over the next days and weeks also. As for the style? I mean colors, layout and etc. You may or may not like it but it is just something that I threw together pretty quickly. Likely to change fairly soon or at least give you selectable options for colors and etc. I KNOW there is going to be some complaining. I expect it and apologize but this was something that I really had no choice about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted October 29, 2014 Share #92 Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) Don I did not come up with that link by myself. I blatantly stole it from one of your posts. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=74986 I would not want to give the impression that I have a clue....... I simply remembered that you had posted that link and then I went looking for it. Here is the thread where I posted the chat link. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=89402 Edited October 29, 2014 by Flyinfool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect it and apologize but this was something that I really had no choice about. Thanks for all your hard work and for keeping us updated Don!! YOU are appreciated!! Now,, about the orphan files deleting thingy and complaining business,, I am gonna try and help out here.. I think we all agree that all orphan files should be deleted.. Especially ones with titles like YammerDan.crashnburn/harassmentexpert, Flyingfool.whitewash/rideruiner, Etcswjoe.troublemaker/potstirrer and any other files that should be in an orphanage, especially any with those types of suffixes.. If you would like some assistance in sorting them out I would be glad to help.. Having me do so would also help with the amount of complaints you will end up with as I will only delete the files that are orphans anyway so the only ones to complain will be like the following...

Carbon_One Posted October 30, 2014 Share #97 Posted October 30, 2014 Don its better to accept and adjust to new changes than to go thru a system crash like we did a few yeas ago. Thanks for all you do. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
