afterburner

So after some work, and a lot of trial and error to determine how gConverter translated old thread titles to new topic titles, I've determined that there are very few threads missing (less than 10 out of 38,000). At least some of those are from users whose accounts were deleted in the last few days ...

That matter is resolved - the disk had filled up.

send a private forum message to mkowdley (click on the "User Control Panel" at the top of any page) and request that your account be deleted.

I know I haven't been frequenting the forums as much in the past year, but what was the reasoning behind the change over? the company that made the old forum software (it was a commercial product) stopped supporting the software about 7 years ago, and subsequently went out of business. it just didn...

just as an update, i am continuing to work on recovering some of the old pages. specifically with the "poor man's guide... under 2000", i can see all 130 posts in the old database, and have made a little progress in figuring out what's what in the new database. somewhat related, i have mad...

glad to see you around again

have you tried the phpbb print view and found it unsuitable? there is a printer icon near the top right of each page

this is fixed now

well this is wack Mike, Iâ€™m sorry, but we canâ€™t reduce this topic. Just want let you know, that Zeroforum and phpBB forums are totally different bulletin boards, phpBB has a lots of different and limits, thatâ€™s not possible to do 100% identical conversion. You should understand this aspect and...

I thought I posted yesterday asking where the option is to make fonts larger, but don't see it here. Maybe I screwed up. Anyway, how do those of us who have trouble reading small print make it larger? I can see how to make the fonts in my own posts larger, but how do I make the fonts of this entire...

The first posts of my garage, tumor thread and Poor Man's mod index are back, but none of the replies are there. I guess that's better than nothing. :) Thanks! Hmm, well things are improving anyway. I'm going to email gConverter and see what's up. Another thread was pointed out to me as missing as ...

A bunch of thread to thread links still have the old zeroforum URLs (e.g. the links in http://forums.genvibe.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5153 ) I wrote a program that should redirect any request for an old forum link (i.e., one that looks like this: http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=8...

i'm going to look into it when i can

welcome

brbo - thanks for this post. Once I get things running smoothly on the website and work out all the migration kinks, then improving mobile support is at the top of my "new projects" list. when i get there i will definitely review this again. is forum runner something that has to be install...

regarding the header, i know it looks like a mess right now but i will try to clean it up in a day or two. i'm thinking about putting together a "design the GVC forum header" contest, just have to figure out what the entry requirements are going to be (dimensions, etc.). it has to layout w...

ligion wrote:It looks great! Can we post youtube videos now?? i will try!

it should work now... however i don't want a bunch of youtube vids in people's signatures so i might have to do some research on how to prevent that

BlueCrush wrote:Edit: My post count went from just over 9,900 to 7,121....Boooooo!

no longer over 9000? i resynced all the post counts, so they should be accurate. your number would be high if it included posts that had subequently been deleted, pruned, etc... atlhough 25% change sounds pretty high!

welcome! sorry that we had a short downtime (okay not that short) just as you joined, but we're back and running now

well it seems i cannot rebuild the search index without crushing the CPU so i am going to run that late tonight

BlueCrush wrote:One of my missing 2,800+ posts is my Genvibe Garage....

did you determine it's missing by using the search feature? i am currently re-indexing the search database right now, 45,900 posts done and 350k+ to go.

joatmon wrote:I preferred the previous software's setting of 25 posts per page instead of the current 10

i have changed it, for now, to 50 per page. personally i think 25 is too few, but if the group thinks 50 is too much then i can change it back to 25.

took a look at how fast it's progressing... let's plan on 11 hours.

ha! i will see if there is a search index that needs to be rebuilt

The new forum software is live and running. I apologize for our long downtime. So far (and I'm still investigating), I feel like the gConverter folks did a good job in getting things migrated (uploaded files, avatars, account information, etc.) although I am of course still scanning the site to see ...

welcome!

One of the nice things about hosting with AWS (amazon) is that we can easily take a snapshot of the whole server (configuration, disks, etc.) and rebuild it from that snapshot as necessary.It's currently looking like this work will start midnight tonight and last 36 hours, but I don't have final con...

The "GVC Announcements" forum is pretty low on the homepage so I figured I would provide a link here... http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=46690

It has been 10 years since GVC first launched and we have been on the Zeroforum platform for the entire time. When we launched, the company that owned GVC had a formal relationship with Rely.net, who was making the ZF software as a package you could download and install, and they would support (inte...

since i moved the site to its own server, i set the time zone back to PST/PDT. i'm not sure why zeroforum seems tied to that, but at this point i'm not going to spend any time with it.

Interesting. Those icons are fetched directly from the zeroforum server, who must have taken them down (they don't support the zeroforum software any more and have refused to help me with it, except to help move it to their hosted product).It looks like zeroforum might have gone out of business?One ...

The server is set to CDT. I'm surprised you saw 2 hours before, I would have expected 1 hour if anything. I haven't had enough time to fully investigate the time zone issue; it was working fine when the server was PST/PDT, but when I changed it to CST/CDT and made the matching configuration changes,...

Unfortunately our forum software is pretty dated and doesn't have support for an inline video feature.

thanks all, i will check it out. the time on the server was changed from PT to CT so i have to figure out how to get the forum software to compensate

mine is stored in my wife's purse, apparently
