You'll notice a new look and some slight updates on some of the features on the site. This is part one in my "Reinvigorate the WWD Forum" process. I'll post more real soon.

I realize the image upload isn't working just yet. I misplaced my license info for the forum software...Waiting on support to retrieve it for me. I'll be able to restore it then.

damn, this is ugly. It has no 'life'.

It's just the default skin. I'm gonna pimp it out (and enlarge our avatars) shortly.

For the time being, I made it look pretty close to the way it was before.

The image upload function is giving me grief. I'm not sure what the problem is just yet, but I'm working on it.
Also, you should be able to edit posts now by clicking on the "Post Options" link near the top right of your post. |

You've all probably noticed the larger avatars (100x100).
I think I've discovered the problem with image uploading. A database record has an incorrect path to the upload folder...unfortunately, I'm having difficulty connecting to the database manager.  |

Nope, not closing it all. Thumbs Up
I revised the forum topic structure a little. There was a lot of redundat topics and stuff that was just completely useless. I moved stuff here and there. Hopefully, you'll all find it more intuitive now. Update on the image upload issue... It's a bug in the forum software. I spoke with the develepor and he'll have a fix out within the next few days. Until then, sit tight. |

Rich, your admin powers have been restored. Let me know if it causes login problems for you. I don't think it will.

Does anybody have the problem of the forum intermittently logging them out?

So the problem with the picture upload is completely on the forum software end. The configuration is correct and a lot of users are running into problems with it. An update to the forum software should be out any day now which will (hopefully) remedy this problem.

I installed the latest update to the forum software the other day and I still can't make the image uploader work. I'm working on figuring out where the problem lies. I'll update you all again soon.

There'll probably be some weirdness with the pics on the forum for a couple hours starting now. I've got them backed up and will restore them.

I'm reuploading the images now. I *think* I found the problem with the image uploading. Somehow the exising folder where uploaded files and folders get stored became corrupted. I deleted it, then recreated it and it worked. Now let's see if it works when I put everything back in it.

I just changed it so that the full reply box at the bottom of the screen instead of the 'quick reply' box. I always found that stupid quick reply thing annoying.

Well, I have a few ideas about how to make the site more interesting for everyone. I'll be working on it as time permits. The upgrade today actually has big improvements in search engine optimization, which should help the site attract new users with it's current stored content. We shall see.
