Contributing Member Regis Posted August 28, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted August 28, 2009 Sure is looking good and speed for me is very close to what it was before. IE8 HS-DSL & both Vista and XP I did find that when I search and have to use back arrow, I must refresh to get search list back.

ferret Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 I go offline for a few months and the site changes. Usually I don't like change ( I refuse to learn metric, I've only just got used to using that new fangled stuff the Romans introduced). Must admit I like this new layout, well done everyone involved:thumbsup:. (My opinion may change when I find where the ferrets have hidden my specs and I get to see it properly) Quote Politicians are like nappies, both should be changed regularly for the same reason.
Russ Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 I'm a firefox user and haven't had any problems from day 1. Just out of curiosity, I switched over to IE and, WOW! I see why Johanna has been working around the clock. I've built a few websites and forums, and I can tell you, making them work with all of the browsers can be very, very frustrating. Keep up the great work, J! Personally, I get tired of a website after a while....the colors mostly, but some of the other stuff too....even websites that I build. Sometimes changing the skin helps. In this case, the fresh look of the website is a pleasant diversion for me. And trust me folks, Johanna and her team are correct when they say an upgrade was needed for security and features. If you don't stay one step ahead in this game, one day you wake up and there's no website. Remember the big LW crash? Let's not do go through that again You can't imagine how far a little encouragement and confidence from people like you means right now. We think we have figured out the problem with IE, and will be glad when we can mark it "resolved" so that people can start enjoying the nifty features the new format has. i will be setting up the Gallery area soon, and I hope it makes all you custom leatherworkers a couple extra $ by promoting your work and getting people to your websites. I'd rather focus on the good that will result in the security updates and the couple of bells and whistles we can provide for our community. As anyone who has tried to write code for Internet Explorer knows, it's not a day in the park. Johanna Quote
Contributing Member rdb Posted August 28, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted August 28, 2009 Just a quicky...went into my messenger section, and found my capacity at 100%. Last I checked, it was below 50%. Has the storage capacity been lowered, and I need to clean out, or do you plan on raising the capacities? Quote Web page Facebook
Moderator Johanna Posted August 29, 2009 Author Moderator Report Posted August 29, 2009 PMs are kind of a mess still. Some have been restored, some are there but are not wanting to display, and some are not converting to the new "conversation" format. grrr... We're working on all that. Meanwhile, permissions got messed up during the transition so I have to back and set all the user groups size mailbox, room for uploaded attachments, and all that other stuff you just set and forget...until the next upgrade. Until we beat IE into submission, I probably won't mess with the PMs unless someone needs them back or needs more room right away. If you figure out how to "archive" the PMs like the option we had before, please let me know. I haven't run into that one yet. I want to hurry up and get the leftover issues fixed so we can set up the Gallery addition. I think some of you folks are going to be tickled when you see all it does, and all the control you will have over your section. We've got some exciting things going on right now- Paul Burnett teaching, video chat and uploads, a link manager for the shoppers that wander in here, raffles (TBA) by Chan Geer and Pete Gorrell, and, maybe someday, ads that pay expenses, so we don't have to beg you wonderful members for money. LW needs a dedicated server now as it continues to grow daily. While you guys are waiting for pages to load, call or email your favorite suppliers and urge them to sponsor us. We have their target market, and we need their financial support. I'll keep you up to date on the PMs. Please- email me with anything I need to know about your PMs at admin@leatherworker.net and I'll do what I can to get you to the front of the line.

Members Tosch Posted August 29, 2009 Members Report Posted August 29, 2009 If it helps somehow: Still having problems with IE 7, version 20061107.210142. Speed is improved only a little a bit since my first post. Tosch Quote
Members TheTrooper Posted September 14, 2009 Members Report Posted September 14, 2009 @the Admins at first thanks for the update, it needs getting used to it, but I like the new forum and I think the problems you have at the moment will be solved soon. I have a question, is there no possibility to export the private messages into a html page or something like ?!? This function would be really helpfull to keep the Inbox clean. Cheers, Marcel Quote FKA adamant-leather Feel free to visit my site adamant-leather.de
Moderator Johanna Posted September 14, 2009 Author Moderator Report Posted September 14, 2009 For some reason, the makers of the software removed the archive PM function. I am looking for a mod to put it back. I would like to have one folder with ALL the adult section requests in one place. So, the answer is "No. but I am working on it!"

hidepounder Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 Johanna, Everything is working pretty well for me....I'm really glad you solved the "view new content", it works well now. You probably already know about this....but whenever I try to edit a post bad things begin to happen. It won't let me edit....can't get back out, etc. Didn't know if anyone had eported this or not so I thought I would mention it....... BTW sent you an email.... Bobby Quote
