The new software upgrade

[infernalis]

Many of us just log on to our forum(s) without giving a lot of thought to the how and why aspects of the forums existence.

The software that makes this forum work, costs money.. The server that our forum calls home, that costs money too..

Unlike some other forums, members are not constantly looking at banner ads and flashing lights (How other sites generate revenues)

All this time, Jason (Boots) is there in the background (mostly silent) paying those bills and keeping this place the well oiled machine that it is.

The recent upgrade to the forum software is excellent, You can now cut and paste sentences in the post editor without switching over to the basic mode. The modern layout of the profiles, and the other new features are great..

So anyways, I started this thread to say a great big thanks to Jason for all he does, the silent maintenance, and for launching this web site in the first place.

It's like the best club house in town, where else can you talk about garter snakes all day??

[reptile3]

Jason, a big huge Thank You to you!!! For all you do for the site & for us!

I have been a member of many reptile groups... & by far this is the BEST EVER forum. Everyone is so nice, friendly, & quite FUNNY at times!
I enjoy it here, & yes many of you keep getting me into trouble.. meaning I buy snakes from you!! ha ha

Great thread Wayne!!

<3 Jason.
Maybe I'll get a tat that says that. XD

[jitami]

Great post Wayne, thank you for pointing that out... and of course...

THANK YOU JASON!

All you do for Thamnophis is so very much appreciated! I, too, have been a member of many forums for various topics and this is by far the most welcoming, comfortable, easy to use forum and I thank you for making it all possible!

That's not a bad idea... Although since it's my name too it might be seen as a bit narcissitic.

Anyway- Thanks Jason!

[crzy_kevo]

Great job.

[Snake lover 3-25]

just wondering.... what is this friends thing???? what does it do???? lol i just sent out like ten things accidentally........:confused:

[anji1971]

I've never used the friends feature before either. But apparently you and I are now officially friends, Shanley.:D:D

And yes, thanks to Jason for keeping this forum up and running. We'd all be very sad without it!

I have a couple friends on here....and now one more!!!! :D

[Snake lover 3-25]

lol ok whatever lol guess no one knows what it does anyways so...... lol:o

[olive oil]

I'm with you Shanley-what is the purpose of it?

[infernalis]

What you do is compile a list of forum members who you want as friends.

Go to the "quick links" tab on the top, and pull down the list, "open contacts popup" will open your friends list.

Then if you send a pm, it's like your address book.

I accepted Shanleys request:D

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

The friends and profile feature has been around for a good bit on another forum I use and I am so glad to see it here. now If i only had time to actually make my profile!!!

thank you jason!!!

we love you THIS much!

[anji1971]

This 'friends' feature looks like just the kind of mindless fun a girl like me enjoys!!
I think I'll start a "friend-tagging" free-for-all...............
I know, I'm too easily amused sometimes:o

[anji1971]

And I just noticed a "break friendship" feature. Now that could get interesting..........

[gregmonsta]

Jason .... you rock :D

[infernalis]

I also just noticed that friends show up with a plus sign next to their names when they are on line:D

[anji1971]

Now if only there was a way to pass around beers to all our friends while we're online, the feature would be just perfect.;)

[Snake lover 3-25]

lol it did that with buddies before;)

[reptile3]

And I just noticed a "break friendship" feature. Now that could get interesting..........


LOL how could anyone want to break friendship?:p

[infernalis]

I could tell you stories on that subject.....

There are true friends, and then there are friends of convenience.

Recently a friend of over 30 years turned on me, just because SHE was stupid enough to hang out her wash on a Saturday afternoon in July:eek:

Save myself some explaining later, She knows damn well she lives next to a very dusty motocross track.

[infernalis]

Schlitz of it is, it kills the track business when it's down.

Some people will undoubtedly think it's closed for the season.

I NEVER close. Have checked in guests at 3:00 am before (To camp)

[infernalis]

OK back to our forum software, way too much data is disappearing from the database.

Lots of peoples posts and even entire threads are vanishing.

We know.... it's fixed.:D

[Garter_Gertie]

THANKS, James!

[infernalis]

We know.... it's fixed.:D

How long ago James?

its 12:17 here and I had stuff fall off about 6 hours ago.

[adamanteus]

Really? Oh! Let me rephrase.... I was under the impression it was fixed!

[infernalis]

I posted in the "injured snake" thread (The Dekayi with damage to it's mouth)

It was gone within the hour.

[Snake lover 3-25]

so THAT's what's been happening!!!!:eek:
