Thanks for all your hard work! At least you were able to get it fired back up with all the messages intact. I have tinkered with upgrades before and in some cases lost all the linkage. Most times starting from scratch again. Since it was just my own for fun, it didn't matter, but the good thing is that you got us back!

Thanks Cuyeda,

I've noticed that a lot of messages have their settings set like this:

when it should be like this

I just changed yours... I wonder how many more are like that? Just changed it back. Gonna run a test on it...

:thinking:

At this point, you need upload a fresh copy of your avatar. Just go to the User Control Panel and then click the Profile tab.

Mike,

Thanks for all of your hard work. For one, I wouldn't have a clue as to where to start a project like this so I am sooooo grateful that you keep this forum up and running. I'm sure you'll have it working perfectly soon. You got most of it done and functional so don't make yourself too crazy working out the details.

Good job Mike, keep doing what you are doing!!!

Not sure if this is related or not, but on a couple of occasions today I have had attempted posts (small ones) send an error message stating that I had exceeded available resources when I attempted to preview or submit. One of them was lost entirerly when I hit the back button from the error message. Related? New Issue? Normal and this newbie just hasn't seen this before?

Also, regarding the avitar, I just went ahead and reloaded mine and it fixed it, plus one of the pictures in one of my posts seemed to come back at the same time.

Hope the rest of the transition goes smoothly, and know that I am not trying to pressure you in any way, just trying to be informative and helpful. You're doing a great job!

The resources message should go away tomorrow when we go to the dedicated server. Thanks...

Note to all our friends. This is a software upgrade, if you find something missing, remember you can't just call India to get a wrong answer. This is a free message board run by ONE MAN and a handful of wonderful moderators. Point of the story is that things are moved around, but if you don't find what you are looking for right off the bat, please take the time to slow down and look around, the link you need might be right there, just over to the left or right. Take a look around before sending a message as Mike has his hands full as it is, so we should be able to do our part to figure it out!
