Open Road

The forum software is long overdue for some updates and now that some of you aren't able to upload images it's time to stop putting it off.

I don't think it'll be down for a significant amount of time but in the event that you attempt to log in and it's not working, that is why so keep checking and it should be back up again shortly.

Famous last words.

Backups are part of the plan. I know I would never be forgiven if I lost all of what is on here!

How am I supposed to spend my Friday night now?

Good luck.

See you on the other side

Well crap, guess I'll be drinking alone tonight.

Break out the pitchforks!

The reason I never updated the software was because I have some custom code sprinkled throughout to make it our own.

Well of course that means updating is not quite so simple so I need to figure some things out.

For now if you want to insert images use the "add attachment" and then "insert inline"

It's not my preference because it uses space on my server but for now that's the only option.

I'll keep you all posted but hopefully that works for now.

I feel your pain.

I ran a site that had about 5 years of custom "adjustments".
Installed a mandatory security update to the ase system and broke everything.

What developers should do is create a process where there's a single file with all revisions that supercedes the base code.

So in there I would add all of my modified PHP, CSS, and HTML without having to worry about updates because that part would stay put.

I'll have to suggest that to the guy who developed this one but not holding my breath.

Mine was full of custom hacks, and predated CSS.

CSS destroyed my ability to write HTML.

Seems to not be accepting images yet.

Are you using the "attachments" option?

I haven't been able to work on it but that option should do the trick.

It does

Is the original functionality coming back?

It is a better UI.

Sorry I haven't gotten around to making the changes because it is a big job. This week should be slow for me until our trip so I'll try to get to it and let you all know.
