Contributing Member Regis Posted August 24, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted August 24, 2009 The new format is great - fresh and clean and easy to navigate, BUT it crashes my Internet Explorer 7 every time I try to use it! Seems OK on Firefox, but I wonder if anyone else is experiencing the same problem. Perhaps it would be OK with IE8, but I'm putting off installing the new Explorer for as long as possible! I'm on IE-8 and everything looks fine. Hadn't crashed from LW. Like this morning's colors! Regis Quote God, Family, and Country (although liberals are attempting to destroy these in the USA)

Members tomcat Posted August 24, 2009 Members Report Posted August 24, 2009 Just checking to see how everything works, so far with the exception of the missing PM's ( which i am sure will appear any day now) everything looks and works great....Thanks Johanna! Quote
Ambassador Luke Hatley Posted August 24, 2009 Ambassador Report Posted August 24, 2009 i'm on ie 8..... color is fine........BUT IS THE SITE GOING TO GET FASTER, IT SEEMS LIKE I AM ON A DIAL UP CONNECTION.,WHICH I AM NOT. Quote Luke
hidepounder Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 I'm on IE8 also and everything is really slow here too. When I click "View New Content" it makes me sign in again so that's a pretty minor glitch. Coming along great! I like the bolder colors with the beige background...spices everything up! Quote
electrathon Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 The apearance is getting better. The site runs VERY slow, on my high speed work connection (it took 47 seconds for one page to open earlier, almost 5 minutes to get in far enough to read a posting). Way slower at home. I have to sigh back in after changing pages, sometimes. Aaron Quote

Moderator Johanna Posted August 24, 2009 Author Moderator Report Posted August 24, 2009 The server is converting 20,000 PMs to the new format, and when the task is completed, I expect the site to be running at normal speed and your inboxes to be restored. I could have taken the board offline while we waited, but you guys get the shakes when I do that. The upgrades are almost done, and I will be fixing the new gallery areas next. We needed to do the software upgrade because we ant to increase the content we can bring you, and we are growing every day. The older software is not as capable of handling the traffic and modifications. Keep letting us know about any bugs if you find them- it helps! Inboxes and speed are being addressed right now- thank you for your patience! Johanna Quote You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. - Mark Twain
Ambassador Luke Hatley Posted August 24, 2009 Ambassador Report Posted August 24, 2009 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INFORMATION...... WHAT MORE CAN I SAY............ Quote Luke
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted August 25, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted August 25, 2009 The new colors, time stamps fixed, speed seems 'normal' - I'm on FF on a high speed hotel connection- and quick reply seems back online. WOW! That was fast! Now that things are easier to read again, I'm diggin' it. Thanks so much y'all.
