thanks! I changed a setting to speed up new users to get access to the board but their posts should be moderated. If it's creating more work, I can either change it back or try something else. -- r

Thanks, fourseasons... Al will be missed. O_o Agree on leaving a note here for his family if you feel moved to do so: https://www.thejonesfh.com/obituaries/Allan-Esgar/ USER STEVE007 posted "All who appreciated him should consider putting a post at the obituary board, letting his family know that he...

Sorry for the downtime. This newer version needs to be customized, but we're back up now at 50% reserve power.

Can you try it on your phones and give me some feedback on how it works?

As some of you may know, long time Moderator Al Esgar, (EZZY333) posted in a Christmas thread that he's dealing with a really serious illness. We just wanted to recognize him, and say thanks for all the time and energy Al has spent on Gun Dog Forum the past decade. As a moderator, he has spent liter...

Yes. It tracks the dog only. You'll need an ASTRO or an ALPHA for more traditional GPS features like that. -- rs

It's on our list. It's custom software, so I have little to no knowledge of how to troubleshoot stuff.

Good news is Grant is helping me with a lot of stuff right now.

admin

Yeah. Pretty killed the whole day. 4 hours later we had a solution, but it was worst we've had in awhile.

Good news is that it shook the tree and we're updating a few things even as we speak.

admin

Yep. Thanks to Arlette for the heads up!

We had a major, major problem.

We rolled the dbase back to last night which broke a few things that we fixed this morning, but we're still poking around.

About to upgrade a whole bunch of things...

admin

Yeah, we're still reeling from it. About to roll out another round of changes.

Sorry for the trouble, folks. Still not done...

admin

Actually, everyone was banned including me. Still working on it.

Appreciate your patience. -- ROB

admin

We're on it. Fixing one thing seems to break another thing.

Having the founder come in and help us update the software.

Sorry for the trouble.

admin

Sorry! There will probably be a few more hiccups like that, and it's all MY fault! Or phpbb's more likely!

No worries. PM me details if I need to delete anything...

admin

I can't count that high! Dodged a bullet...

admin

Rackspace tech support got us back up. Sorry we lost anything from late Saturday forward. Better than starting from scratch.

Appreciate y'all's support...

Today is Gun Dog Forum's 2013 Moderator Appreciation Day Your Moderators work hard, so you don't have to. Here's to all the volunteer moderators who do the thankless task of keeping GDF humming right along. Thank you folks SO MUCH! A small token of our appreciation is being prepared (by our SPONSOR)...

admin

Got this in the contact us form for GDF. Any vets or other dog experts care to weigh in? I need help. I have a puppy that broke her hind leg femur up high on the leg and straight through. Unfortunately, she was 10 weeks old when the break happened and the hospital we took her to put a hard cast on h...

admin

Here is an example of a lazy spammer.

admin

Anyone who wants to talk all things gun dog is more than welcome. I just noticed that the smarter spammers have been typing in real dog breeds,trying to look like "real" people. Turns out a lot of real people look like real people, too.

Nothing like learning in front of an audience!

admin

Good points. Just thinking out loud.

admin

Steve and I both own GDS, but why does he get to do all the fun stuff? His "job" includes a lot of "research and development," and it's always during hunting season for some reason. I get stuck with optimizing warehouse procedures, teaching folks how to sell online, and writing DUMMIES books... It's...

Oh, you don't want MY input on dog training. My dogs are the worst behaved in the kennel! That's the OTHER Snell brother. Now if we're talking Internet marketing or anything digital? I'm all in.

admin

It might get to the point where we ask for a reference from another member or someone we know in the gun dog community. Not to be TOO exclusive, but I'm seeing a lot of "advertisers" sign up. Maybe free ads need to be for active, posting members only? Thanks, Fester. It's harder than it looked on th...

admin

See attachment.

admin

Maybe I need to add a box where folks write a VERY shorty sentence or two about why they want to be on the forum...

I think I insulted our newest member, and I'm sorry, Bender! You don't know how many spammers with "Chiwawas" I get in my in box.

admin

To decrease the amount of spam our wonderful moderators have to deal with, I am personally approving new members by hand. It MAY take a little longer, but it seems to have put a 90% decrease in the number of Chinese hackers and link droppers. I am blown away by the growth on this board! So many new ...

admin

My IP log (among other things) tells me that SOME folks might not be that new...

Having multiple accounts is against the rules, folks.

admin

Appreciate the ideas and discussion, but there's NO WAY the lawyer would let that happen here.

And maintaining all those "free" ads is a TON of work. Hats off to the mods who make this board work! Extra special thanks coming soon, too!

admin

Hope everyone is ok. That front was HUGE.

admin

Appreciate the ideas! Keep 'em coming!

admin

Ha! That's awesome. My mom does the same thing.

My baby brother, Steve Snell, couldn't phpBB his way out of a paper bag.

admin

Thanks! I have a laptop at work I can check it on. I bet the "enhanced security" may be blocking some info...

admin

Welcome to the forum!

admin

I believe that phpBB stores what you topics / posts you have read on OUR server, so in theory, at home or at work, if you are logged in, unread posts should be the same. Let me know if anything changes, and I'm poking around over here as well...

admin

And you're logged in at home? What browser / version / operating system are you using?

admin

Do you mind telling logging out and logging back in and seeing if NEW POSTS change for you? I think that will fix it.

search.php?search_id=newposts

admin

Thanks. I turned that "feature" off. No one was blacklisted. That filter was a LITTLE over zealous!

admin

Thanks. Just had a couple of folks make the comment and I can't replicate the problem. Hopefully there ISN'T one (any more)!

admin

I mean like how unread TOPICS or with new POSTS appear RED instead of black.

admin

I believe OUTBOX is for unread PMs you have sent. And I'm the "admin" ... O_o

admin

Just curious! -- r

admin

Hang on! We're tightening a few things up. :) I made a few changes to the board settings to make the traffic increase more bearable to the servers, but I've walked a few back because it changes how long people were logged into the board, and how people read things. I'm doing browser authentification...

Not sure. Just trying to get an idea what 90,000 visitors might be interested in winning! Appreciate all the comments and ideas! Keep 'em coming!

admin

About half and half. It's CRAZY!
