We are currently having server problems. Some users may experience time out or error 500 internal server error messages. We are working  on the issue and hope to have it fixed shortly.

The forum was down for a few week as i couldnt make my mind up if it was worth keeping it going or not. I decided to keep it running another 2 years. Also since everyone is in lockdown now it might make us a little more active on here.

I will be updating the forum and features next weekend 31st Aug between 11pm and 2am 1st. so expect the forum to be off line between these times. Hopefully it will go smoothly without losing everyone's data lol. Ive been holding off on this a while because i will lose all the custom features i have added but i think it is time to get it up to scratch and upgrade the mobile version of this site as it is pretty sh*thouse if we are been honist.

Might have to push the upgrade back to next week. Ive already run into a problem with the database which im trying to get fixed now...the problem is i installed  the site in 2013 which is like 11 years ago and ive forgotten the password for the database connection lol.

I hope all these {access denied} arnt guest trying to post and you've restricted them!
If so bad move site wise.



Anyway not sure to much what you did. Looks like a few small changes.
Phone seems to be loading faster, but not sure if that's new programme or just the day.

Well i didn't upgrade the site. Had to many problems with the back end side of things. Im waiting for the guys i host the space to get back to me.

I have 150GB of space. I cant backup the site because it says i am over the dick space limit by 150%...when i check it says used space is 15gb and 135GB free space. so i dont know what he hell is going on.

You got to love ITโ€ฆ

Kruza, there are not that many โ€œguestsโ€, or even members posts (outside of the usual posters) in a month, never mind a few days, so Iโ€™m guessing those were spammers that were blocked.

Don't know but 2 hours plus on site, then getting access denied when going to comment on the pcp thread doesn't seem like a spammer.
I seen that many guest online before, in the 20s seems to be pretty average when I look during day here.
6 of one 1/2 dozen of other, was just to bring it to Nunga's attention in case there's a glitch stopping commenters.

A guest is anyone that is not a member of the forum that is viewing the site. Guests can not post or reply to topics.


Posted By: kruzaroad
Date Posted: 01 Sep 2024 at 12:27pm
Wouldn't it be more advantageous to allow guests a post or two?
Someone who's spent a bit of time reading posts and wants to comment, may have great insight goes to chip in to conversation and gets access denied.
If you were listening to a conversation and went to chip in and got told don't want to hear what you have to say, would return to it.
Thats just my thought.

Generally you need to join a forum to be able to comment, so it makes sense that if they visit and feel compelled to comment that they join.


Posted By: kruzaroad
Date Posted: 01 Sep 2024 at 10:38pm
Or don't, how many forums have been looked through and not joined because who don't the hassel of pass words etc to make a comment.
But to be able to comment once or twice is like dropping a baited hook. Some fish like to nibble the bait before taking the bite.

Agree - a lot of the UK / US wont allow interaction without signing in. Even clicking to enlarge images prompts sign in.
I think its fair - keeps content relavant and limits scamming.

I was thinking a button to a redirect page, with a name only sign in, that gave you two posts before you had to join.
The site already separates the guests from members, so that's done. The redirect page would be a whole separate set up so new coding allowing a couple of comments per log on to page isn't much more script to add. It adds another layer.
General viewers could look on the usual set up.
As for scammers, deal with it. The Web ain't full of fluffy ducks all quacking nicely. Sure do what you can to stop them getting on site, but end of the day if you get scammed that's because you didn't do enough to check it out, not the site, not Nunga, not me but you.
Its part of the Web, though it's not nice for all you know someone could have signed on as a member and be biding time, waiting to pull a scam.
To many limitations will stop site growth, limit input and become a closed group of people.

That's the the best reason I heard so far Nunga. You could always delegate a couple more admin to help with stuff like that. But your site your choice.



Posted By: RangerPete
Date Posted: 02 Sep 2024 at 9:22pm
I think there is nothing wrong with having to โ€œearnโ€ the priveledge of being able to interact with other members.
Especially if it is explained to new or prospective members that the reason is to keep spammers out, itโ€™s perfectly understandable.

Just an update on the site updates. Looks like there is a problem with the database which has blown right out in size. Im trying to get it sorted and possibly get the site updated tonight. we shall see how it goes.

So i worked on it till late last night and again for most of the day. This thing is really kicking my butt. I did have limited success but in doing that change it broke the rest of the site so ive changed it back again.

So what exactly is the issue that you are trying to change?
What's the site not doing that you need to change it?


Posted By: nunga
Date Posted: 05 Nov 2024 at 5:30pm
The mobile view is only displaying half the screen and im trying to get it to cover the hole screen

Your not pulling it into frames, so what are using for size definition?
A set measurement or a percentage?
Is it a java script sub routine to give it size , a html comand or something different?
What is the site written in? I dont have a view source on pH so can't see behind the screen

I'm pretty outdated but once upon a time I'd spend about 13 hours a day writing html and building web sites back before web site building apps and stuff. Got a good enough knowledge to help with a bit of web research and maybe sort the issue.


Posted By: nunga
Date Posted: 05 Nov 2024 at 9:00pm
The problem is this forum im using is pretty much old and outdated there is not much support for it. The mobile code that i have found is located in 8 files

forum_topics.asp
forum_posts.asp
RTE_javascript.asp
non_RTE_javascript.asp
register.asp
status_bar_header_inc.asp
mobile_default_style.css
header.asp

I am using percentage in the mobile view. it used to be in measurements. It is in java.

There is over 100 files to go through and change...it is driving me nuts lol
