Software Upgrade / Errors

[Troy Spiral (13)]

Over the next day or so there is going to be a software upgrade of the board, which, is needed since for whatever reason the board is sending out WAY to many email notifications, that is, so many that the board hosting company is threatening to suspend our service.

I can't fix it personally due to the way the board software works (newer versions of the software have settings for htis), and the version of the board we are running 1. has an expired license and 2. is "end of life" that is , even if the license was valid the version is not supported by the company that makes it and they dont want to help "fix" a version they dont support.

We don't really have the money for this upgrade but I just charged it on my screaming credit card. What errors might crop up during the upgrade I'm not sure. Might be none, might be a ton. I'm not feeling that great so it might be slow going. Hopefully not.

Still Working on it.

Still Working on it.

Having spent countless hours on DGN playing with settings and looking through forums, I can definitely say I like the range of the new upgrade.

It has taken a bit to get used to and I do kind of miss the "next" tag for viewing pictures in the photo galleries, but this is pretty cool.

I know everyone will have a difference of opinion, but I like it...so far, I can't complain...(but I did get a kick out of this mornings white out hallucination, that was rich...lol)

Thanks Troy

Whaaaaa...? This is weird, but seemingly efficient. Usually every upgrade is for the better, even if it takes a minute to get used to.

two notes...

1) not crazy about the way this version seems to stretch people's avatar image.

2) someone mentioned that the "warning points" are now shown publicly below people's post counts. not sure i like that...

I think the "default image size" for the avatars is different now (larger) and when the software "converted" everyones images to the new format some of them got squeezed.

Looking into that second part....

I like where the changes are going so far.
