Tap Tap - This thing on?

Post by phyler »

Hey all, I know the site has been in a strange spot for a long time. The host had forced an upgrade that broke it. We got that unwound a year or so ago but since then, it's just been in a "status quo" spot.

After a bunch of tries due to the site not having been updated in a long time (circa 2012), we were able to get things cleaned up.

If you see issues, please message me so I can get them cleaned up.

Hope to see folks around here more often now!

I used to use TapaTalk on my phone to access the webpage in a more mobile friendly way. I have not been able to find CCB on TapaTalk like before. Curious if there is a way to make it accessible there as well?

Tapatalk has a lot of challenges. The site should render much better on mobile than previously. Have you tried it yet?

Haven't tried just through a mobile web browser yet. I do see that any topic that looks to have been created prior to you "fixing" things shows as "does not exist" when I click into them.

Hmm, Digger mentioned that and I've been looking into it. Helps to know it's not just him.

Thanks @Eck for reporting the issue. I figured it out. If anyone else is seeing issues, please let me know.

Its been a while since I've been on here, doesn't look/feel the same. It became a ghost town a few years ago and not sure if it will ever recover. Seems like FaceBook is where the crowd moved to.

Who's running the show now? Did Kirk and Justin resign or are they still in charge?

It was passed on to @EFI Guy and @EFI Gal . I've just been helping with the technical. Mostly because I cared about making sure the build threads would be available. I have personally have 9 pages of documenting mine.

I'm sure you're right that most have moved on. We'll keep this up as long as possible. I focused on getting it secure and operating. Now that it's there, we can start figuring out the look and feel.

While I was living in Vietnam, I heard rumor that there were several disgruntled members because they wanted to set up club events but were told no by the two previously mentioned guys for who knows what reasons. Most likely liability. I believe the exit strategies started forming back then.

Any way to bring back the old look?

Will work on it. The themes have changed significantly since 2012. Need to find one that works well. If anyone wants to look at phpBB themes and make suggestions, I'm all ears.

I did improve the spam filtering and the registration process so the spammers can't register. That felt like a win with how many were signing up everyday.
