Boss is doing some forum work today, methinks.
 
must be.couldn't log in until a few minuets ago.Portal page came up under construction.
 
Must be!! I just clicked on "forums" and got a "parsing error" message!!! Had to jump here from the "go" button on the bottom of the page!!

This is getting to be like the Virtual Rally...I keep running into construction!! :devilgrin:
 
Earlier this morning I got a "maintenance" message...something must've happened during that time because both side columns are now gone from my viewing
 
Me too and now when I can finally log on, all the stickys are gone. They should be purged from time to time or put on a header or something.
 
And I thought I was addicted.

Sounds like fear and trepidation over possibly
losing something you really need.

Now let us begin our meditation practice......


Hmmmmmmmmm,

Hmmmmmmmmm,

The Chant: Don't worry, Basil will fix it,
Don't worry, Basil will fix it.
 
I don't envy the work Basil has to do to get everything working again. This is a pretty big site with multiple programs trying to exist together behind the scenes. To get a taste of what he has to sort through check out the code for this page. In Internet explorer, click on the “View” menu at the top, then choose “Source”. That’s generated for just this page. Now add all the forums, Classified (different program), photo gallery (another program) and you start to get the picture.
 
Basil your flock is wandering...wasn't that the same thing Moses was told???
 
You know the boss is busy when he doesn't even pipe in with a "sorry about that. Fix in a minute"


Or is his head buried in the Spit and hasn't had time to even log on?
 
No side bars, no options to change in Prefs, no link to chat, and "Contact me" is non operational. Boss is busy. I look forward to the new tricks and features of this upgrade. I can be patient. REALLY I can!!!
 
He's tweakin' the thing, we're in a "redirect". All will be well, certes.

I'm sure Basil would rather be doing something else besides spending hours and days trying to get things running smoothly again.
 
Yes, I'm sure he would Greg. I am gratefull for all the effort he puts in to making the forums work. It seems to me to be a task of monumental proportions.

Stuart. :cheers:
 
Yes sir, it is. I've dabbled just enough in programming to know I know nuthin. You think its all sorted out, give it a whirl, and it chokes on the 3rd line of code. ACK! :crazyeyes:

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh NOT ME i`m wayyyyyyyyyyy too timid to wander off too far from camp. And besides I see some right and left coloum stuff beginning to re appear. Have patience all will be well.
 
Just sat down at the computer at my daughter's & found this message From Basil in my email:

"A major RFP (request for proposal) just dropped and I'm on the proposal team for my company. Bottom line...I won't have time to even think about the forum for a while. (I'm sending this from my phone)."

He said he had a chance to get some of the stuff turned back on but I can't see the Portal Page from here.
