DFogg Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Hi, This is the newest edition of the forum software. I have installed it to keep the forum up to date both for security and ease of use. Be patient with me while I work out the bugs, reconnect all the connections etc. It will be a while until I learn my way around this update it is a major one. Thanks, Don Don Fogg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David D. Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I think it looks great and functions well Don! Thanks so much for all the work you put into this place.

John Smith Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I will be helping Don in the transition as I learn the backend as well. This is what I do for living or at least I did. John W Smithwww.smith-forge.orgFire and wind come from the sky, from the gods of the sky. But Crom is your god, Crom and he lives in the earth. Once, giants lived in the Earth, Conan. And in the darkness of chaos, they fooled Crom, and they took from him the enigma of steel. Crom was angered. And the Earth shook. Fire and wind struck down these giants, and they threw their bodies into the waters, but in their rage, the gods forgot the secret of steel and left it on the battlefield. We who found it are just men. Not gods. Not giants. Just men. The secret of steel has always carried with it a mystery. You must learn its riddle, Conan. You must learn its discipline. For no one - no one in this world can you trust. Not men, not women, not beasts.[Points to sword]This you can trust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Stephens Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Thanks for doing this Don. I did notice that the gallery images are all broken. Maybe a path issue? Cheers, Dave -----------------------------------------------"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly." -- Theodore Roosevelthttp://stephensforge.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif S Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 The forum looks great, but the one thing that I've noticed is that when you click on a posted link the page doesn't open in a new window like it did in the old forum. Probably just a settings box that needs to be ticked off. A very proud Say-Mak owner My YouTube channel www.leifern.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avadon Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Looks great. Right off the bat though there are those huge gallery photos you have to scroll past when visiting the highest level of the forum. That's a little daunting. I'm sure you'll get that fixed soon though Cheers, and the update looks great. very professional.

DFogg Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 Mental challenge it is. I am still trying to figure out the large gallery images at the beginning of the home page and where did the chat go? Oh well, patience my friends, all change is challenging.

Bryan Bondurant Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Don, Funny you should update this week. I just spent the last few days going over the IPB3 Update and was wondering to myself if you were going to update, I almost sent you a email to ask. I have heard nothing but good stuff about 3.0 and now with the kinks worked out and on 3.2 its looking very good. Maybe one of the tech guys can come up with a nice bladesmith skin, that would be cool. Good luck with the learning curve on this and I look forward to using the new updated board.

Doug Adams Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 thanks for all you do. is there a way to bring up the new post? doug adams Jn. 3:16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFogg Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 On the home page, right hand side, just below the search bar is "View New Content" right next to the RSS symbol. Click on the words and it pops up the recent posts. I am trying to figure out how to use the RSS feed setup, but haven't gotten that far yet. Also at the very bottom of the home page just below the Pinned Topics forum is a blue menu bar. The first item on the menu is Today's active content, click on it and it will pull up recent posts.
