CF Upgrade Completed after 5 days of downtime!

[Erwin]

CF is finally running the latest version of the forum software!

It has been a long road... 12 hours of downtime dragged out into 5 full days... mainly because I grossly underestimated the time needed to recode all our special features.

To be perfectly honest, although the forums are working more or less, if you add the special features we have been using then CF is only really running at possibly 60%. There is still a lot of work to do.

Most of our special CF features are not working properly. These will take time to be brought back online. The past 5 days was basically just getting the BASIC forum software right.

The next week or so I will be concentrating on recoding our special features and ironing out the bugs.

So far, things that do not currently work properly are most of our special CF features:

1. PDA version
2. Radio
3. Weather
4. Guestbook
5. Blogs
6. Usenet
7. News
8. Email
9. CFIM
10. IRC
11. Custom
12. Bank
13. Armor
14. Pets
15. Jobs
16. Auction
17. Arcade
18. Staff Teams
19. Staff Moderating Features
20. Site Supporter Features
21. ChrisBot

Some of the above work but not properly. It will take me a while to recode all of the above.

The good news is that the following work:

1. Chatbox (now with instant refresh!)
2. Blessing others
3. Searching thread titles (slave server)
4. Bible search
5. Refer friends
6. CF Map
7. CF Attachments (took a while to make it work with attachment server!)
8. Posting

There are some new nifty features including the quick reply, quick
edit, and the ability to donate for another member!

Don't forget that I also upgraded all the server software, and updated the graphics and style of the forums too.

Thank you for your patience through the downtime.

It's now 2:32 am, and I have to get to bed to go to an elders meeting in the morning. It has been a stressful Monday to Friday!!! But I am sure you would agree that it has been worth it.

Welcome!!! It's 3:30 am...

If you find bugs that I may not know of, post here.

 

[Erwin]

Fire fox not working, its stretching evrything


also, when you hit last page in a thread it takes you to the first post

Because of black borders at the edges of the screen, quoted text is really tiny. I have a 19" monitor. I hate to think what those with smaller monitors have to put up with.

Forum links at page bottom are blue on dark gray and nearly impossible to read.

Otherwise, good job!

I estiminate that this will take another week for you to complete.Bug 1: When I click on: http://www.christianforums.com/petsI get: Fatal error: Call to a member function query() on a non-object in /home/cf/public_html/cfpets.php on line 63Bug 2: When I tried to use 'ctrl' 'b' to bold something, I get to the 'organize favorite' folder. I can't even click the B to bold the words.Bug 3: At the bottom of my screen, it said, 'Done, but with errors on page.'Bug 4: The timer is set to "click here to collect interest and add to bank account--timer will reset." When clicked, nothing happened. It does not state how many blessing we will get.

The black borders are really annoying, the site really needs to go to the edge of the screen.

It looks great. Just wanted to let you know that. So glad to be back online.

 

[little esther]

the print is so small is there a way that it can be fixed? do we have to change the font size ourselves or is it something that has occured with the new recoding. also when i first get on i have to keep centering the page it seems to want to go to the right.

 

[kittystrawberry]

I just tried blessing someone and it gave me this message:

newbeliever02072005, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Maybe, I just need to be a bit patient and wait to bless people.

By the way Erwin, thank you so much for your dedication in getting this site up and running. Praises to God for giving you the talents and motivation to provide a site like this.

The black borders are really annoying, the site really needs to go to the edge of the screen.

I know. This board is just too dark. The dark color make our eyes tired. Perhaps, we will be given the opinion to change the skin. I will definity be changing the skin color when given that opinion even for 2,000 blessing. This skin is very creative but it is just the black border. I would like to see more lighter color. Once again, I like the style of this board.

 

[MN John]

Apparently I can only see page one of any thread.

 

[fieldlily]

I can't post because when I try the last post arrow I get an error message. Also can't hardly see this small print...???? and can't figure out how to change it. Since...custom is down too. Seems like bugs in the posting need work!!

 

[Veiled Viper]

Apparently I can only see page one of any thread.

The "go to last post" button isn't working,just click on the page # you want and scroll to last post.
