Christianity Board Maintenance Tonight (05/13)

[HammerStone]

Folks, we're going to be doing some work on the website tonight that will require us to temporarily put a halt to all posting and registration.During this time, we'll be updating the forums here to the latest and greatest software versions. On top of this, we'll be tweaking the site. This includes a brand new design that we are working on. The hope is to finish with a design that will be fast-loading and centered around the forum content.Total downtime will be a few hours. I'll go ahead and say that we may be down for a twelve hour window although I certainly do not expect it to last that long.This all will begin at 6PM EDT, here in a few hours. In the meantime, I'll be happy to answer any questions.I hope you all like what we have in store.

 

[HammerStone]

Well, the upgrade was successful. We still have to restore a few of the features, but we went ahead and launched the site so you all can get back to posting. Hope you like it!

Nice new digs there Denver. Good job.........

Yes, I like the color scheme better. I realize that you once said that blue was a common color background on many web pages. However, I always thought it was a little "too blue" and dark. It kinda strained the eyes of this aging crony.

Fatal error: ... (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in ...Sweet, its running Linux too. I love Linux

 

[Christina]

getting used to this look liking it better all the time

 

[HammerStone]

Where did you see that at, Radd?

 

[followerofchrist]

Did just the look change b/c it is going much faster for me?

 

[Jordan]

There was an error message when I tried to log into the website earlier this morning.That is just part of it. Something about an error via php etc...

Soon, very soon, I'm going to try Knoppix live DVD. Recently, I changed my CD burner for a DVD player/burner so I could run it, but I've been very busy lately and stopped short of actually trying it out yet before I was done reading the book. If I like it, then I will permanently install Knoppix. I had limited experience with Linux before (in classes and where I used to work) and I'm getting a little suspicious of Microsoft. I may want to go all Linux a few short years from now as XP dies out---- I don't want to go any further with Microsoft.It will be interesting to see what adjustments I will have to make to get the thing compatible with everything else.

 

[HammerStone]

Well I'm running Vista and XP myself...if you can get away from Windows do it. I would in a heartbeat if it weren't for compatibility. Virtualization has helped that, and it continues to improve, but just this past week I was going to go Fedora but a couple programs prevented me from doing so. As far as servers go, it's nothing but Linux for me.

 

[HammerStone]

Thanks Radd, by the way.If you come across error messages, please copy and paste them here. For example, our registration system stopped working because of a change with the new software. However, anyone who tried to sign up would obviously fail...yet you think anyone let me know? Of course not.

Denver---- Why not go dual boot? That's what I intend to do. An old crony like me basically uses the computer for Internet research, directions and forums, and check my emails once in awhile. And that much I know that Linux can easily handle. But for the certain programs that you may use once in while use the Windows, unless you use them a lot while doing other things (multitasking) then dual boot may be a pain.Case in point---- I been using Mozilla for a few years now and love it. But there's always those sites that kiss up to Microsoft's browser and it works best with them, so for those few times I use IE. As for servers, yes, I can see your point there. Wasn't the whole Internet based on Unix/Linux whatever?

 

[treeoflife]

Ah... newly upgraded... It's nice. I just have to remember to use dark colors and not light colors when I go to highlight text

 

[David161099]

Hmmm...maybe there is something wrong with mine because it all looks hideous.The white background is harder on the eyes, but the font is all weird.It's much harder to read.

((( Denver))), I thought I was on the wrong site at first . Now that I know, I am trying to get used to the new look. I like what I see so far. God :blessyou:
