Don't panic!

[filbert]

Just got a note that the hosting provider will be taking down the server for 'routine maintenance' at 5 pm CDT today, Thursday Aug. 22 2013. Downtime expected to be 10 minutes or less.

Also, depending on my levels of competence and ambition, I may attempt to upgrade the board's software on this coming Sunday morning, Aug. 25. We'll see . . .

Re: Don't panic!

It's back. I think.

Apparently the "What's New" button is new and funky. No, I don't know what that means yet. I just work here.

There should now be mobile access via Forumrunner. No, I don't know what that means yet. I just work here.

Re: Don't panic!

It tells me to post this. I do what the machines tell me to.

This forum now supports Android and the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad natively with Forum Runner!

What is Forum Runner?

Forum Runner is an Android/iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad App that allows you to browse this forum using a native client. This means faster access for those users since it only downloads the actual forum information rather than all the extraneous images that slow down the mobile connection.

Forum Runner Feature List

• Browse your favorite forums in an easy-to-use-interface with multiple notification types (private message, subscription, etc)
• Fully customizable home screen with your favorite forums
• PUSH NOTIFICATION SUPPORT : Get private message and subscribed thread updates from your favorite forums in the background!
• Poll updates (private messages/subscriptions) from favorites on home screen - shows you a summary of which forums you have new messages or subscriptions on!
• Image attachment thumbnail and full size viewing from threads
• View a thread's image attachments in one convenient screen (much like the native iPhone "Photo" app)
• Save thread images to your iPhone/iPod touch library
• Fully search-able forums!
• View embedded links without leaving the app, including YouTube videos
• Supports portrait AND landscape mode
• Full posting options (quote posts, start new thread, etc)
• Attach unlimited photos from your library (or take a photo from the camera and attach it)
• Full support for private messages and private message folders
• Full support for thread subscriptions - track your favorite threads and be updated via push when they have new posts!

Oh, cool <sarcasm>. The app is $1.99. You do what the machines tell you to do too, don't you? SPEND! BUY! CONSUME!

(Tapatalk, eh?)

Yeah . . . for a cool $600 a year, SDSUFans users could have a custom logo-ed version of Forum Runner at the Apple Store/App Market/whatever for "free." Yippee.

OK. Tapatalk may or may not be there. I need more coffee now.

Re: Don't panic!

Tapatalk appears to work. I must be getting old . . . one of my thoughts is "oh, great, another new interface to learn . . ."

Re: Don't panic!

I think I'm done playing with the board for a while. I wanted to get rid of the default logo, and re-introduce something like the school colors to the board (without going too overboard). With luck I haven't made anyone's eyes bleed too badly.

Thanks Filbert!
I was merely suggesting that it may be an option (because I knew it was free). But thanks so much for doing it!

Came across this about the "What's New" button. If you want to switch back, you can.

Yeah . . . I think seven straight hours today wrestling with vBulletin is pretty close to my limit . . . I suddenly recall why I retired from doing this stuff, and being out of practice didn't help. I'm whining now. Whine, whine.

But thanks. I may look into it, if I decide to ever look at the admincp again.

Where's muh beer?

Re: Don't panic!

I'm taking the board down for a while this morning Thursday Oct. 31 to apply a maintenance update.

Happy Halloween.
