Thank you

Guys, just wanted to say thanks for hanging in there during the website upgrade process. I know changes are not easy. I honestly probably should have done this upgrade a long while back; I'm sorry it took so long it just made me nervous that something could get screwed up in the complex process of converting the databases / etc. Going forward I'm going to make a better effort to stay in the current release branch of software (comes with potential risk of more minor bugs, but will never need to worry about getting too far behind on upgrades to catch up easily). And I wanted to say thanks to everyone who has donated, subscribed to LPF, offered advice on how to improve the new site, contributed awesome content, etc. If you cannot donate there are other ways you can help like linking back to LPF if you have a website, or sharing the site on social media using the "share this page" option.

I hope everyone has a great weekend. For me it's gonna be the usual stair climbing, tennis, ab workouts, and football watching on Sunday (go Giants).

Best Regards,

-Ave

You're welcome, I was pretty pessamistic about this change over, but it has come along pretty well in the last couple of weeks, with all the little tweaks here and there.
There are still a few things I liked better with the old system, but I guess you can't have at all.

Have yourself a great weekend also.

I'm hoping my lowly Lions can get it done two weeks in a row.

Appreciate this post, and the work put forth not only brining it up to date, but the pragmatic approach going forward. There are a lot of unsung heroes behind the technology in great sites that so many people enjoy. I think there is a lot of intelligence in this group, and most of this forum's members (thankfully) realize it takes work (and funds) to keep this afloat. Thanks so much for being the hero and I hope to show support how/when I can.

Have a great one!

No problem Avery. And many thanks for the effort you have put in to modernise and update the forum.
I will always link back to this forum whenever appropriate.

Hi Avery,
Thank you for all the hard work put forward in this project. Sure it was a little hard to get used to at first but with little exploring the new site it came out great. Great job Rep ++++ buddy.
But I miss the old funny icons they were the best,
Rich

the upgrade as it was time for a change, the dark version is awesome. Thanks

Thanks, Avery. Everything looks good now. I have been wondering if we still have access to older PMs from before this changeover. I have important information in those PMs and never thought I would need to back them up for any reason.

 

[CurtisOliver]

Weird, I still have all my old PM's. Inbox->Show All gives me 12 plus pages.

hi @paul1598419 please try the show all that curtisoliver suggested

 

[paul1598419]

Thanks. That worked fine. Got all 47 pages back.

Really? I remember school taking almost all of my time back in the 1970s. I also had a full time job, so between it and school and my studies, I had no free time at all. I was running from 6 A.M. to 10 P.M. five days a week and spent weekends playing catch up.
