Jim, i know you,re wrestling with the recent probs, the yellow error page comes up when going to forum but recently intermittandly, once this morn then ok, but when posting reply to ted, it went to the yellow error message and post was lost, now forum is back up but without my post. regards bill.

Ya, I know this issues we are having. I have been e-mailing back and forth with a developer that I used to work with and he recognizes the error. He will take a look at it in the next few days. I have also asked him if I were to get the latest full version of the software, if we could upgrade without losing posts, etc. If that is possible, I may be passing the hat as the software is several hundred dollars and a retired guy's earning power is not much! I will keep everyone posted on progress.

I got word from Todd this morning that he was able to compress the sql database that holds our messages. The net result is that we seem to be a bit more stable. This is only a band-aid, still looking at getting the newest version of the forum software, but at least the site should be a bit more stable now.

let me know how you would like me to pay to help you (us) out.

Jim   Count me in when passing the hat. Even if it is a Texas size hat.  Harry
By Jim - 12 Years Ago
It won't have to be too big a hat I am thinking. Will know for sure, once Todd looks at the different levels of packages.
By jonnireb - 12 Years Ago
Sure, I'd be glad to chip in.

I am more than willing to be a contributor member, this site is where all my info has come from and paypal would make it easy, anyway count me in.

Greetings to all: If the hat is passed I wouldn't mind kicking in some as this site is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I just need to be informed as to how, as I don't have a pay pal account. Thanks, JEFF.................................

I have been on the phone with Todd this evening and he is looking at some other things in the forum to keep it from crashing short term. Long term is to get the newer version of the software. Stay tuned, I will put up a mailing address to send some money to, although I don't want anyone to send more than $10 or so. This site has been running for 9 years and has been free to all, and I would like to keep it that way as much as possible.
By slumlord444 - 12 Years Ago
Would also like to keep it free but a $10 bill to help keep it that way is no problem. Just paid $9 for a spray can of high temp engine paint primer!
By jonnireb - 12 Years Ago
Mighty right.
By pegleg - 12 Years Ago
I see nothing wrong with a ten, considering the time and money you put into this it's not at all unfair.
By Hoosier Hurricane - 12 Years Ago
I wouldn't mind sending a little more than $10 to help reimburse you for the 9 years I've been here for free.
By rick55 - 12 Years Ago
I'm in agreeable with the concensus. The expertise and knowledge shared on this forum makes $10 ridiculously cheap.

It would be an Aussie note but hey the way they are trading at the moment you'd be in front.

Jim:

Whenever you are ready give us the contact.

I liken it to just paying the fare. I have been riding here for free since day one of this site.
