WE'RE BACK
Welcome Back and Holy Crap!!!!
Talk about a messed up couple of weeks. Unfortunately an upgrade of the database by the hosting company ended up causing the entire site to go dark. After several days working with the hosting company we were able to get the main webpage back up and working however there were several files related to the forum that had become corrupt and no longer usable to get the site working again. After talking with a homebrew friend who happens to be a database administrator and guru it was decided that the software needed to be upgraded to ensure that everything could be saved and everything working appropriately. Keep in mind that normally a upgrade of software would usually take months to properly convert over. Since my friend Dan was able to get it done in just over a week is amazing and I cannot thank him enough for his efforts to get this forum not only back up and running but making sure that there's little chance of this happening again.
That said I want to thank all of you for your patience and support. I also want you to please let me know if you see any issues with the new software. This is literally the first time I've been on this forum and haven't had a chance to look through everything yet.
Thanks again!

Re: WE'RE BACK
I'd like to be able to change "new posts" to go back 14 or more days if possible, like the old forum was able to do. Otherwise looks awesome.
Re: WE'RE BACK
Looks a little different, but seems to work fine.
Glad to see you, thanks for hosting our little group.

Is the TapaTalk still active? I usually use that on my phone. Somehow, the BeerBorg link got deleted and now it doesn't show up in any of my searches?

Re: WE'RE BACK
Tapatalk shut down the feed when the forum was down for more than a week. Once I'm sure everything is working here I'll get Tapatalk re-connected. Thanks for your patience.

Hey, two thumbs up.
Yeah, sometimes software issues can be like hacking through a jungle with a machete.

Re: WE'RE BACK
FWIW, I figured out how to do this, under the hamburger you can just pick active topics now and do what I was asking.
Re: WE'RE BACK
I can't seem to find where to change the theme color away from dark. Not a big deal, it's just ugly to me.

Re: WE'RE BACK
I always use the dark so that's the same for me, but trying to figure the "view active topics" like mash because always the way I browse here, but still haven't got it yet.

Re: WE'RE BACK
There's only 1 theme available right now. Still working on some things in the background but a light theme is on the to do list.
