My web designer and I have almost everything planned out and she will be installing the upgrade to version 2.2.2, the new template and the critical modifications on Monday. She will most likely finish installing the non essential modifications on Tuesday.

Hopefully, it will be a seamless transition.
Looking forward to seeing the changes. Good luck and I will watch for Tuesday's update!

As long as we get what we "pay" for.  :D

Slowly but surely. And don't call me Shirley ! (no smilies to attach yet)

So the update to version 2.0.2 was successful. I had to delete about 20 or so spammers but that seems to be under control for now. She added a few critical security features and will be adding the new template and features tomorrow. Some things may not be functioning correctly until we get the new template installed.

You should have plenty of new smiles to play with tomorrow.

Best keep at it because there are quite a few spam messages this morning and the button to report the posts to you is missing.

Yeah, I took care of them. We were trying out a security question verification during registration. "Are you human" Apparently the spammer's programs were written to bypass basic questions like that so I will change it to something they aren't expecting.

Yeah, I took care of them. This forum gets attacked by these spam programs about once a minute. Last night, we were trying out the verification question "Are you human?"

I trust the "recent posts" link which used to be at the bottom of the main page will also return.

Seems like THAT is a "must have" to me....otherwise one would be shopping all over the many topics to find something new that has been posted.

I would imagine that it will be there but I won't know for sure until the theme/template is installed today. If it isn't there, I'll try to find a mod for it.

Here's a TWEAK that's needed.

At 11 a.m. Pacific Time on Tuesday the 27th if you are logged in the "recent posts" link does not show at the bottom of the page...BUT

if you are not logged in it DOES show up.  Get out the programming guide !


No smileys or other BB updates (color, italics, etc) available yet.

Well, it's 2:30 Pacific time as I post this and I see all the color, text options and the smileys....assuming the recent post link shows up when we are logged in now...it would be a pain to have to go in and out of being signed in to see that, so hoping it works...or will work.

Looking good so far !   :)

Here's another neat...and new....feature...at least I'm pretty sure it is....don't recall seeing it before:

Hello MovieMan
Show unread posts since last visit.
Show new replies to your posts.

November 27, 2012, 02:39:24 PM


Those two features in red above are great as far as I'm concerned...the easier it is to see the NEW posts or threads, the better.

 :)

Yeah, I noticed that too. It's a lot more convenient. So far, she is about 75% complete. I think she will be adding the Adsense and the social media icons tonight and most of the other stuff will added tomorrow. The rest of the add ons will be operating behind the scenes.

All in all, I'm really pleased with the way everything looks and functions.  :D

If anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know.
