The web site forum software upgrade is done. I have opened the web site back up for use. I still have to upgrade the following section of the web site and will do that in the upcoming days.
Still to upgrade and will remain off until done
Gallery
Links section
Chat
Things that need to be fine tuned
Articles section
I hope I am not forgetting anything.
Like the new look. Still says test on the banner on the main page. Will events be back on the front page or in a new spot?
Thanks, let me get right on that.Quote:

Rick, not all members can see the home page. Not logged in can, But if they are in the donating member group but not in the registered member group they can not.
Dave, that should be fixed now too. Thank you.Quote:

It's all positive, Rick. Chat room looks awesome.
I see the weather for Santa Monica, CA on the Home Page. While it's nice to know how they're fairing in sunny California, it's like rubbing salt in the wound while they're at 60 degrees and we're all white here.
Yeah it's OK.
Its great Rick!
Chat window should open in a new tab or better in the same window and let users decide where they want to open it.
It's too bad chat had to switch to a special protocol. Means I can't access it from my smartphone.
That brings up another thing. Could a Mobile Style be enabled for the forum? This is so that when the forum software detects that a mobile browser is accessing it, it automatically switch the style to a style optimized for smartphones.
I have corrected the problem. If it still does not work you will need to check your zip code in your profile because that is where it is pulling the info from. Go to your profile here http://www.geocachingmaine.org/forum...do=editprofileQuote:

I am not sure if getting it for the web site is justifiable based on the cost.
Nope, also you should validate your html code.Quote:

Another question is why do you pay for this forum if there is plenty of free open source forums similar or better quality? Especially if you decided to update it.Quote:

Hmm, I thought 4.1.2 shipped with the Mobile Style ability. All it is, is a lightweight theme. If it didn't come with it, then i'm sure someone out there has made a mobile skin.Quote:
