Admin nuggethunting Posted December 15, 2009 Admin Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Hello All, Just upgraded to the newest forum version. I know many might not like this new version since it might be a bit slower for dial-up users. Please post any issues you might see so we can get them address ASAP. For the time being, someone mentioned you can to the bottom and change the drop down menu from "IP.Board" to "IP.Board Lo-FI" for dial-up users. P.S. Forum database was getting so huge the change was needed. Thanks,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grubstake Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Been to the bottom, then to the top, and back again, No! Place on here does it say lo-fi. I'm so pisssed with the load up time, I'm almost ready to just drop off the internet, except, I do still get my emails. Rob, please switch it back, I can tell you its going to hurt your forum, no one likes it. We can't afford high speed, it 100 times better the way it was. Really. No kidding.

grubstake Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Ok, I found the lo-fi, alittle better, but not much. Grubstake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubstake Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 I feel ilke my home burned down, and now I'm homeless. Rob the forum was the best on the internet before you switched. Why would you do this? This is a real bummer. Grubstake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you do this? This is a real bummer. GrubstakeRob Works fine for me but I have high speed and a dual core CPU. But I agree with gary there are a lot of dial up users here. Let me try it on one my of other machines with a slower CPU's and see if that matters? AzNuggetBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzNuggetBobNope about five seconds to load pictures with a P111 cpu and high speed ISP. If I think of something to speed it up for dial up I'll post it. AzNuggetBobOne thing I did notice is that it quotes automatically but that my just be my board settings.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pondmn Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Looks good to me and works fine. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubstake Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 The PM feature will not work either, at least on dial up, 10 to 15 minutes just to get on the forum, Boy Rob, your forum was the only reason I kept my internet service, if its going to be like this, I think as of the first of the year, I'll do away with my internet service. No lie! Your forum was the best before you switched. It might be ok for guys that can afford to go high speed internet, but it would cost me an extra $15.00 a month for a total of $35.00 just to beable to do that. Thats money I don't have, thanks to GOV. Swartsinager.Kinda like useing a minelab 4500 and having to go back to a Garrett goldstinger.

Admin nuggethunting Posted December 16, 2009 Author Admin Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Hello Guys, Well I can't switch back, too much time and effort to get this board online. It was a much needed upgrade. The older versions get hacked much ealier. I will see what I can do to make the forum speed up a bit for dail-up users. Talk with you later,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Horse Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Workin okay for me too. Would like to see a tab for "new post since last visit". That is usually my first shot when I enter the forum.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition, why I don't know, I'm not able to reply to any messages sent to me from other members. I understand your older versions got hacked, and I'm sorry to say this, but this new version acts like a sears vacuum, it sucks.h20prospector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted December 16, 2009 Author Admin Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Hello Guys, I'm working on getting everything back to the way it was, but still keeping the newest version. In time, I think everyone will like the new version. There are a bunch of new functions, so I'm doing my best, with the time I have to get it back working smooth. Thanks,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rexb Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Try google chrome as your browser if you happen to be running windows xp or higher, it runs faster than firefox:http://www.google.com/chromehttp://shinynewtoy.com/blog/2009/07/08/google-chrome-os-may-breathe-new-life-into-that-old-pc-in-the-back-of-your-closet/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gold dredger Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Works great for me all the way around. Keep up the good work Rob and it is the nature of the beast you have to upgrade it just has to happen on the net, no way around keeping up with the current technology.

montana Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Rob. I got your PM but it wouldn't let me reply. Otherwise it seems fine.----Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sandtrap Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I hope Gonna find it first's hands move slower than his face that is showing.. If not, low and slow, will never work for him. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOC Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I'm not a big fan of the new look or functionality as of yet. I don't know if that opinion will change over time. I'm old and us ol' farts don't really like things to change.Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leroym Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Rob,Since you asked.... I just posted a reply and I do it this way. I pull up 'Notepad' and type the post and then 'Copy and Paste' it into the 'reply' area. This always works well and it's fast. BUT this time it took a while to load up. It's slower for sure and I'm on high speed.A suggestion here... It would be nice to have a dividing line between the "stickies" and the forum.LeRoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Ron Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Yo, Rob..I don't really see any difference between the last version and this one...However, in both instances I cannot simply get on...I have to log on each time I open...I'm using Firefox...I have this prob only with your forum and Chris's...Bill's and Rod's are no problem ... Cheers, Unc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunk Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I like it real well! This is the first time I have been able to log on in months!Bunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXKajun Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I can't see what I'm typing on the "reply" screen. Other than that little glitch, I kinda like the new format. Of course, like most folks, the change caught me by surprise and my first reaction was "No Way!!"Kajun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montana Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Rob. It definately needs a divider between stickies and regular forum . It looks like most problems may just need refining but Old Farts with Old computers (like me ) who struggle with anything new will take a while to adjust.----Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted December 16, 2009 Author Admin Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Hey Bob, Not sure I understand what you're talking about - "divider between stickies and regular forum."

Talk with you later,Rob AllisonGot your PM reply just fine Rob , Rob I think what Montana means is the sticky posts you have on top blend into the member posts. no border, separation, or color change. Its kinda annoying when you first sign on to find the new posts. AzNuggetBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
