Thanks Rick! Okay, I fixed up all the user profile issues. If I found a valid image in a profile or signature, I copied it to our cloud storage for you. Now I'm having a beer. Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

I had to change the links to the podcasts to https, and I'm guessing by the sudden increase in outgoing bandwidth that people are re-downloading all the podcasts via iTunes or otherwise. Can anyone confirm that is what's happening? I'm sorry about that but it was kind of unavoidable. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

Hey everyone, I made some infrastructure type changes tonight. The kind that you should not really notice. But if you see some pages not rendering correctly or any images or javascript-type functionality missing, please let me know. This is all in preparation for starting the new site design. The good news is all the static assets on the site now have a unique name that changes every time I change the file. So this means no more "I've made some changes to the site, you'll have to refresh your browser and/or clear your cache to see them." I've also configured the webserver to tell your browser it can hang on to the site assets for 1 year, so your browser will now cache much more aggressively and this should result in even faster page loads.

Thanks Alan! I've added those "hot-link" and "image upload" forms to the Calendar add event page. We lost the ability to upload gig flyers, etc. to the calendar a while back. But its back now. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

Happy Holidays everyone! I did some software upgrades tonight. It shouldn't have changed the behavior of anything, but of course I may have missed something. Please let me know if you see anything odd. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

There is something weird going on if you try to edit a forum post that has video attachments. I'll try to look into this soon. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

I'm actively researching options for redesigning the site to make it more modern and mobile friendly. Last time I changed the design was for SG101 2.0, and I did it all in secret over the course of some months, and unveiled it all when I was finished. This time I think I want to do it as I go, and push it up to the server in chunks. So the site will be a mixture of old and new designs, depending on where you are at. I want to do it this way so I can get more immediate feedback. The downsides are: part of the site in the old design, part in the new, and its probably going to look pretty ugly for a while. But I think those disadvantages outweigh getting more immediate feedback and being collaborative with you all. I'll start a new thread for SG101 3.0 redesign feedback in the near future. I'll be reviewing the comments we had in an older thread about new ideas for 3.0, but feel free to post them here too. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

+1 on this.
I don't live on a mobile but it would still be nice overall to be able to channel a search in a given sub-forum, or drill-down even further in a "search this thread" method. Other than that, appreciate all you do - and the current format being present while new is deployed wouldn't be ugly just different.

Brian, are you about designing just the front-end, while the site structure will remain the same, or?.... I'm currently learning the intricates of responsive web design, for a site project. It's so more complicated than my non-programmer brain needs to handle... I'll be glad to help in any way. |

Yes, it's front-end changes only (in theory). So sorry Badger, improvements to the search will have to come later.
I will definitely be using a framework because I am more of a backend engineer. I've looked at both Bootstrap and Foundation and will probably go with Foundation.
Yeah, having a framework help with the responsive part makes the most sense for me in this case.
Awesome! I'm sure I will need it. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |
