Greytalk Forum Upgrade


Jeff

Recommended Posts

Plenty of warning. I plan a forum upgrade the week of 14 May, and probably will begin that morning. I took some time off work so that will be a good time for an update. It has been quite a while since we have had a big upgrade, so I'm sure my skills are rusty. Expect a few hours of downtime followed by a few hours of weirdness until I get it all sorted out and looking like Greytalk again.

Is there an iphone app that interfaces with this forum?

 

a what?

 

apps for iphone and andriod are in development, there are existing 3rd party solutions in your phone marketplace. Look for 'IP Board' or 'Invision Power Board' compatibility, and wait until after the update ;)

Okie doke - thanks for the ample warning.

 

Quick question. In a couple of other forums I've previously participated in, users had the ability to tag other users in posts so that the tagged user would be notified that s/he was tagged in a particular thread. Would it be feasible to enable this on GreyTalk as part of the upgrade?

 

DragonFlyDM, you can simply save the GT homepage to your iPhone home screen and then when you tap on it, navigate to the bottom left of the page and choose Greytalk mobile :)

if that was a function, I'd probably disable it, like I do for many other 'social networking' options. We'll see what the new upgrade brings. Unfortunately I have not been as active on the development forums as I was in the past. Just been too busy, so I'm not fully up to speed on all the recent changes.

Jeff,

 

Good luck, and thank you for giving up your vacation time for us. I bet there may be some salty talk at your place that week.

Thank you for taking the time Jeff, looking forward to being even more confused than I am now :lol

 

It doesn't take much to confuse me when it comes to a computer but a challenge is always good at my age.

Oh man, I hope not!!!

A couple of all breed rescues that I volunteer for start tagging me in every photo of every stray they found. Drove me NUTS! It's on thing if I'm in the picture or it is a dog that I had developed a bond with being adopted, but I was being tagged on photos of random dogs 10 times a day before saying that it wasn't cute anymore.

old posts >90 days without replies are deleted from forums like: off topic, soap box, etc. Probably all except the upper 3 forums and remembrance will be pruned.

When they're pruned, will they be retrievable through an archive search or Google search, or will they entirely vanish from the ether? Sorry to be dense about this stuff. :unsure

Mary with Jumper Jack (2/17/11) and angels Shane (PA's Busta Rime, 12/10/02 - 10/14/16) and Spencer (Dutch Laser, 11/25/00 - 3/29/13).

There was a thread that I wanted to save. At the bottom of the page I clicked on the icon to Download. I did see a Download box open. Another window opened showing that same thread although in a different font.

Where in my computer did that download go? It's not on my desktop, not in My Downloads, not in My Documents.

wherever all your other downloads go. It will be called the title of the thread.html

Ahh, I see what I did. I only opened it but didn't save it. Thanks.
