.......maintenence. The forums will be closed some of Sunday for software upgrades and some changes. I don't anticipate that we'll have any data loss or trouble, but we will be unavailable for a bit.
The VB forum software is getting upgraded and the new version has a lot of cool features. I think the coolest feature that is on the list is the automatic picture re-sizer that should help us all out in that we won't have to manually re-size pictures before uploading them.

I was just wondering about this feature this morning. It's a true pain to slog through this each time to make sure I have a 480x 640 pic (or whatever it was supposed to be).
THANKS RON!! | |

Thanks Ron..
Is it just me or did the "New Posts" link disappear with this version?
I also run a forum for our local gearheads (We're just getting started) - I wish we had the option of this software. Right now we're on PHBB and it's pretty buggie.. | |

Randy, here's a URL you can use as a shortcut until the New Posts button is working again. http://www.gt40s.com/forum/search.php?do=getnew
Right click on it, Copy Shortcut, Paste Shortcut to your desktop, then click on it whenever you want to check in, and only the New Posts will come up.

Dave | Yep, I will tonight or tomorrow morning. There are a lot of nice features for the admins, and some good ones for users too. We have a couple of cosmetic issues but they are not huge and will be fixed.
