I upgraded the forum software to 3.7.0 during the host transfer.

Post up any concerns you have with the new server or software.

Other than having to find the redirect, everything seems to be operating a whole lot faster.

The old server is screwing me again. For me to set the redirects I needed to upload a 1kb file to the old server, but it is now telling me I don't have enough room. Yet I have a few gigs of room.

Post up any problems you encounter.

Most problems will be corrected once the name servers are updated, which takes 24-48 hours.Server is a lot faster...........I wonder if they can help with your truck?:hysterical:

What's up with the garage section, Mike? It will never let me delete a modification or upload a new picture. I can edit my mods, but that's about it.

Can you get rid of this?

Mike, the new server is 100% better. It hasn't been slow up here on this crappy internet in the "In Town Suites" in Norfolk, VA!!!

Kiley,
It worked for me. You select edit next to your car, and you should see a red x
next to the mods to delete.

You should be able to add pictures, but I think there is a max of 4 or 5. Let me know if you still have problems.



Chris,
How long would you like the delay? hell it takes me 30 seconds just to type one word, how can you make 2 posts within 30 seconds? :?

Wade,

This "friend" thing is a new feature, I haven't messed with it yet.

I'll see if I can figure it out soon.

I and a few other were having problems with the log in/out. I think I have it fixed. If you have any problems, clear your cookies, restart your browser and try again. If it's still there let me know.

Jeff and Harry brought a registration problem to my attention last night. Come to find out; no one has been able to register to the site since I made the move to the new server :hide: I have a temp fix right now, still working to get it right though.

As some of you already know there is a gallery/album feature built into the new forum. It allows you to upload pictures, and store them on the forum. I added a link in the "nav bar" called "All Albums"

This will allow you to browse every one's public albums.

Also the old forum is still active for the garage feature. It has some nice features allowing you to upload pictures. It also has a time slip database. You will have to register on the garage to add your vehicle.
