ATTENTION: Software Upgrade June 20

[MM03MOK]

The website will implement a long-due upgrade this Thursday, June 20, starting at 5pm EDT (4pm CDT, etc). The website will be off-line at that time. Work will happen in the overnight hours and be back online Friday morning, if not sooner. Tapatalk will not work during the down time.

Many thanks to those that help us keep the lights on. It is most appreciated.

Thanks for all you guys do to keep the Marauder madness alive!

Do you need $ to help?

[MM03MOK]

Do you need $ to help?

We’ll never say no. We truly appreciate the generosity of Members over the years. Every little bit keeps us afloat and allows us a little extra to support our Membership, while paying the bills.

We’ve been running vBulletin 3.x for a very long time and now it’s at the end of life. vBulletin 4 is the next upgrade. Hopefully the kinks in transition will be minimal and I ask for your patience in advance.

[MM03MOK]

I will ask that after the website comes back up, if you encounter functional problems of any kind, please post them here in this thread so I can forward to Doug, our Server Admin.

Thanks

It looks pretty good!

[STLR FN]

Guess the color schemes are gone...ie I used to have mime in black n yellow scheme...now there is just the VB4 scheme and the mobile default scheme, which just gives me codes.

[joedee]

Why are a lot of the letters in light gray. Very hard to read.

[silver_2000]

We are working through some of the issues one at a time. We decided to open the site backup early KNOWING that there would be some slight challenges.

Im going to be spending the remaining time getting the basic functions of the site working again.
Each "color" is a completely seperate set of code that will have to come later if at all

[sailsmen]

So far I like it.

Is there still a photo gallery? If not aok.

how do you access timeslip page and how do see photos and post them.

[MyBlackBeasts]

The "create a new thread" and "reply" buttons are invisible too.

Found them by pure accident.

I'll get you a pic shortly

Oh, that's a heck of a lot better!!! Thanks!

The Create and reply buttons now show.

On the main forums page though, the header bars are black, the buttons are black and the button text is black - making the buttons invisible. Found accidentally scrolling over them.

Thank you!

the timeslips app hasnt been updated in 9 years - its not available for this version
I tried another "newer " one and it also doesn't work - its been abandoned by the developer

So there will be no more time slips page ? Is there a way to keep track of updated ET's ?

[Granddaddy Marq]

I just found a problem. If you try and go back in you post history there's nothing available past the update. I was looking for a thread about ABS systems where me and Com'n Hot were exchanging post, and there was no history of our post in either mine or his post history.

I'm in this same boat. Last night at work i wasn't able to view the forum in Safari or Tapatalk.
Anyone else having these same issues with their smartphone? i have an Iphone 6s.

[RubberCtyRauder]

The link in post 48 worked for my phone, so what is different? But ever since upgrade home PC when trying to reply won't recognize every key stroke so misspelling occurs every word, the delete key won't work to erase a letter, and the screen refreshes by itself when in reply screen saying something happened causing Internet explorer to refresh. It did not do this before update

Nothing in the update should cause that.
Internet Explorer version 11 is still supported by Microsoft but nothing before, which version of Internet Explorer are you trying to use ?
Try viewing the site on Chrome.
Try a reboot

As far as your phone the new version of Vbulletin has a "mobile style" that is currently showing up blank. Once you click it its hard to get off it
Which is why I posted the direct link to the other working style

Ive disabled the mobile style for now

[ncmm]

the search feature is !!

[silver_2000]

Confused

Working or not working ? Which search?

It works for me ...

[Chayton]

Does the update include automatic image resizing by any chance ?

I'm still only getting the home page, and nothing ease on my phone. No matter what I try.

not displaying but a few posts about subject searched

then below those it displays many very old non-relevant posts

[justbob]

Found something odd. When google searching anything using site:mercurymarauder.net old threads show up like usual but when opened they open to just a blank page?

For years now this was the only real way to do searching.

make sure you are not trying to upload an image that is TOO huge

the first time I tried to upload this it failed. I guessed the failure was due to size and I was right

the files need to be under 200kb

[MM03MOK]

For Doug ......



Hi Mary,
Since the site update when I go to profile and click on "Find latest posts", I get "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms."
When I go to another members name, it only shows results if there are recent posts.
Can older posts be found when at a members profile?
Thank you
Bob

That's sad, I was hoping to move up a few spots here soon.



I wasn't able to access the site beyond the homepage using Chrome on Android till yesterday. Seems to work fine now.

The old data is still there its just not available in the new system - Assuming the admins wanted to replace it and there was a product that did similar things that worked with VB 4 we could try..

But there are a couple assumptions there

How about just copy paste the info for now in a new thread in the drag race forum.

[silver_2000]

the info is still viewable in the users profile

Doug, is there a timeframe setting for searching for ones posts or threads? It seems to be only recent ones. Thanks.


ADMIN,

Please share what I am doing wrong. I cannot locate any of my posts. Under my profile, I used to be able to sort by posts I started and post I responded to. Now, even with an advanced search, I cannot find any of my posts.

[NXSBOB]

I agree and there is not way to adjust it.

I just saw this - Ive rebuilt the indexes a few weeks back

Please recheck to see if this is better

I’m still having issues seeing the forum through my iphones saffari browser. I have the homepage bookmarked, and that shows up just fine. But when I try to click on any posts it’s a no-go.
Ironically, I’m posting this using Tapatalk, but I think their interface is trash n would prefer to browse using my phone’s browser.

Any ideas ?
