I originally lowered it so we wouldn't see a novella in people's signatures. Images and links are also prohibited. I can't stand images in signatures.

Re: NEW FORUM HOST
There is an unread posts menu option available for selection from the top taskbar - 3 horizontal lines, one below the other.
It includes unanswered posts and your personal posts as well, among a few others.

Re: NEW FORUM HOST
The domain name was formally transferred to the new host. The domain name gyroscopicinvesting.com should be working now. If you notice a problem after tomorrow, please let me know. It may take up to 24 hours for DNS propagation to reach everywhere.

Sometimes I wish would could go back to SMF. It just worked. Although I really did hate having to put size into the image bbcode. Another annoyance with phpBB is you can't put the URL into the quote bbcode.MangoMan wrote:Thanks, MT.MediumTex wrote:I changed the posting interval from 60 seconds to 30 seconds.MangoMan wrote:wtf?

Also found another bug. When using the "angry" smily emoticon, it does not generate the proper graphic in the post.

Re: NEW FORUM HOST
We aren't going back! It took me 2+ days to rebuild everything from SMF's last crash. I don't blame SMF, it was the old hosting provider that was a large part of the problem. But I had problems with SMF in the past (especially with plug-ins and upgrades) and just wanted to do something new that had wider support and better extension management.

Re: NEW FORUM HOST
PMs.
How do I delete many PMs at one time?
I only understand the one-at-a-time approach.
I would like to clean up my message area.
Hopefully the answer is easy, like in "Days Gone Bye"

Re: NEW FORUM HOST
Craig, we really appreciate all your efforts on this. Of course with any transition there will be a few problems, and a few things that work better or worse than before. Thanks for keeping the lights on here.craigr wrote:We aren't going back! It took me 2+ days to rebuild everything from SMF's last crash.

Re: NEW FORUM HOST
Tenn & Co.,
PM deletions worked. Thanks.
Is it possible to raise PM allowance to a limit at 100?
I could use a tutorial on saving great PMs I lost a bunch of good ones to author deletions.
Saving/transferring would be great. How?
Thanks.

Re: NEW FORUM HOST
Yes there was an error at the DNS registrar that caused it to go inactive. I have fixed it and now it will propagate again. Hopefully this will be the last of the issues transferring everything.
Re: NEW FORUM HOST
Definitely odd. These usually propagate almost instantly when making a DNS change. But perhaps this issue is more complex.MangoMan wrote:Still not propagating....
Either way, it looks like the technical curse plaguing this place jumped from the host to the registrar. It's uncanny.
Re: NEW FORUM HOST
The registrar shows suspended domain again. I'm trying to resolve it one more time. The DNS team at the hosting provider is now involved. It's very frustrating, but it is being fixed.
