Please note: I will be upgrading the site software to the lastest version hopefully some time this week. So, if you encounter an glitches, please hang it there while the changes are being made. We will come out on the other side a better more up todate site with some new features. Gee, I might even throw in a new shout box. :thmsup:

Sorry about that, Murphy as usual stuck his head in and forced me to take two steps forward and one step back. I just reinstalled the database backup from this afternoon. So we will have lost a couple posts. Now back to work.

The forum software is upgraded now. I'm in the process of upgrading the front entry page that presently is blank, as it is not compatible with the new version of vB. I also plan some new changes that will occur over the next few days. Stay tuned.

FYI, it seems that all of the posting options (inserting a pic, hyperlink, setting text bold, etc) dont seem to work in Firefox. Same with the smilie list, when you click more, nothing pops up...

The forum tools menu in the general and 7th gen forum headers won't show when I click on it.

The different functions should be operational now. A few legacy templates were the problem.

Uh... I keep getting a 404 error when trying to select the "New Posts" link from the homepage. Can only get it to work if I click into the forums first, then select "New Posts"... anyone else or is it just me?:paranoid:

Wards, I noticed that the FAQ link on the main page is dead as well. Looks like "forum" just needs added to the url in the target script.

Great :thumbsdow I think they make a mess. But at least they're set small.

BTW, on the main page, clicking on User CP, Faq, Members List, etc. I get a page not found error. Happens in both IE an FF.
