I liked it to let you know I'd seen it, and that when on mobile I would try to abide.

Everyone doing ok with the main theme?

 

[Thruth]

It's fine. Seems to be working like it was.

I was looking back at some old posts and they seem to have disappeared? In the Hall of Fame thread the links to the original post comes up as an error.

Probably the way the links are structured. The old setup was /forum/forums. The new is just /forums. Any old links will show up busted.

Makes sense.

 

[Grand Potentate]

Makes sense.

If you point them out to me I can try to fix them, or you can just go in and edit them to reflect the correct structure.

I can do that. Thanks.

Got the word from our host that everything is back up and running smoothly again. There was a hardware failure at the server center.

Can we not embed vines?

Eg - https://v.cdn.vine.co/r/videos/F09F...p4?versionId=a4o0Gq9tW8FVVFtQq4MsTDaHYqz1d0WL

We can do normal Vines. I think it's the link. I'll check with the developer.

The developer got back to me and said this type of link isn't right for embedding. You need to use the share style link.

Quick housekeeping note - our license on the main DressedWell theme has expired, and the developer is a cunt, so we're no longer going to be using that. The alternate theme is now the main. I'll be investigating new themes in the future and will report back when I find some suitable candidates.

 

[LelandJ]

Alternate's the best anyways.

 

[Fwiffo]

Themes are now licensed? Blimey. Did Picasso licence his paintings on a per use basis?

 

[Grand Potentate]

Themes are now licensed?

Some are free. Most are paid. Paid themes are one license use per site. And you need to renew every year to get continued support.

 

[Thruth]

How much is a license?

 

[Grand Potentate]

How much is a license?

Depends on the theme and the developer. Our former theme was $30 for year one and $20 for renewals.

 

[Grand Potentate]

Apologies for the short downtime. Had to run a forum software upgrade. All is now well.

I don't know what you're talking about. We're not even using the theme that had the issues any longer.

shame clueless patrickbooth is not a member here i really do enjoy his posts

i am talking about your site ramboforum

not about a theme. i am talking about the built in alert function that i use to navigate ramboforum. it sucks again

 

[Grand Potentate]

First off, stop being a prick and calling it ramboforum. Its not "my site". Its our site.

Secondly, those alert problems were tied to the theme. Since we're no longer using that theme, I don't understand what problems you're talking about. Could you attempt to explain them? Alerts suck again is not helpful.
