Interesting. Must have been something going on with my internet then. I haven’t had double post issues before or since and thought I’d mention it. I’m glad it’s nothing for you to have to deal with.

Right now I'm monkeying around with the DB so much I'm not sure if this is being created by the sync and migrate scripts or if it is a config issue. Let me get the site moved tonight then I will be able to "just fix it".
Picture I posted this morning in same thread worked, so maybe its resolved :)

Folks, the new forum/gallery will be going off line for final preparation. At 9p this forum will go into "maintenance" mode and you will not be able to read or post. Please make sure you complete any posts by 9p (60min from now).

Thank you.

The main actions are COMPLETE!

While there are actions remaining, they will be done with board on line and accessible. If you can read this post, you should be able to login and use things as normal!

Enjoy!

Hi Jayson,
Was surprised about the migration to Boat Builder Central but find my way around it, but most I was surprised that you did this and I always thought you built a sailboat and are a sailor like all of us. Well done with this update.

It seems to be related to the number of extra links in the header. I’ll be cleaning that up today. Alternatively I’ll force a different style for mobiles. It is confusing to me that it worked much better before last night.

Yeah. I’m full of unpleasant surprises. ;)

The switch to BBC is to allow better brand alignment for new users as well at improved search engine rankings. Aligning everything under “community” follows best practices for coppermine and phpBB as well as allows Jeff a lot of flexibility for the future. It also reduces the over all cost over time as we can now start to leverage various storage options for images as well as lower cost managed services. End of the day it’s an over all win for both BBC and the users (as soon as I fix the layout :help: ).

A couple of horrible hacks later and it should be "better". It is not correct yet, but should be a bit more usable.

What security settings changed? Now I can't access it at work. Says something to the effect you're going to a site that might steal your login, password and credit card information. It's not our internal system but the one from google.
