"A fine cigar is like a fine woman. They come in all shapes and sizes. Treat them tenderly and lovingly. Caress their skin, admire their beauty, fondle them with reverence. Bring them slowly to your lips, enjoy their flavor, their aroma. Contemplate their essence, their dependability, and forgive them their weaknesses - if there be any. Revel in the rituals, their simplicity and their enduring meanings. Do these things, my son, and the blessings of life shall always be upon you." -Prince Sined Yar Maharg

Nice Paul. Some Pics vanished from the secret Santa thread. Post 53,60, and 62. Also noticed when clicking on the secret Santa thread it takes you to page one when on the old site it took you to page three right away? Lastly, can't find the exit button to exit my own posts.

Okay I figured out I wasn't signed in. However, I still can't figure out how to edit and or remove my old posts to get my name off the front page. Also still find g that clicking on threads takes me to the first page rather than the last page. Or was it always like that?

I just posted a reply to Bob's query explaining how to post pics here and when submitting it it gave me a warning about how three other replies had been posted while I was composing my reply and that I may want to review my reply before posting. I didn't want to do that so left the page, then I find that my reply wasn't posted.  Very annoying. Not going to go to the trouble of re-composing that explanation, so hopefully Bob can figure out how to do it...  :angry:

You uncovered a feature I did not want.  Apparently Guests can post to the forum.  That has been removed.  I also moved your posts to under your account.

This is a setting you can set in your Account Settings.  Go to "Look and Layout" and set the checkbox on "Show most recent posts at the top in topic view."

Haven't gotten down in the weeds of it yet, but face value the site looks great!

Senor Pablo,
I had a career in web development project management, so I fully appreciate the amount of work that went into this platform move and subsequent data translation. Well done, and thank you ever so much for your blood, sweat, and tears to pull this off!

I'm finally able to access. Monday at 9am is the first time I've been able to access the site since it went offline on Friday!  Nice to see everything is familiar, just a lite makeover. 


I'd rather have a cigar...

Looked into this further and it seems that they are links to images sitting on another site.  The links are using HTTP, where as our new site is using the secure HTTPS.  The browsers are now blocking mixed content (or more specifically the browsers are blocking HTTP content when they are linked to a site being served via HTTPS.)  Hopefully that makes sense.  If not, reach out.

I'm on my wife's laptop now because i cannot get onto the site via my tablet (Amazon Tablet) or my tablet (Chromebook). I keep getting this message:

I have cleared all my history and cookies on both devices but still can't get to the site?

Im not sure what other site my pics would be coming from? Wife took pics with her phone and emailed them to me and then i downloaded the pics on my Amazon tablet and then uploaded them into the thread.

I was referring to the one entry of Otter's post #53.  It is missing images and the cause was what I described earlier.  60 was just a requote of 53 - so same issue.

62 was your post.  I re-ran a partial import of those and they showed up.  I don't see any of your images missing now.

Thanks for helping find these things!  We're getting there...

Not sure about this one with respect to tablets.  I don't own any.  But, I have seen this before on windows laptops and it always went away once I cleared the browser cache and cookies.  I would suggest making sure you are clearing everything correctly, then do it again, then restart the device.  Hopefully that is it.

Feedback: I do with that when I enter a thread I am brought to the newest message instead of the beginning of the thread.

Edit: And after I submit a reply, it would be nice to stay in the thread instead of going to a random historical list of threads.

Hi Joe.  This is a setting you can set in your Account Settings.  Go to "Look and Layout" and set the checkbox on "Show most recent posts at the top in topic view" and "Return to topics after posting by default".

Seems I'm able to get here on my work pc. At home on my Windows laptop I get the Sorry page. I cleaned everything as far as I know but still only get that. Tried 3 different browsers. I'll have to dig a little deeper. Does Windows keep cookies and a cache someplace other then in the browser specifically. Seems odd that no matter what I do, 3 different browsers end up on the Sorry page.

I'm technically challenged and that could be part of the issue.

Very odd.  But you aren't the only one apparently.  Try opening a new browser window in "Private" or "Incognito" or whatever equivalent mode they have.  They should ignore any old cache, cookies, etc...  I'd be curious if that helps it.

Might be DNS caching on whatever internet provider servers are being used. If that's it, it should clear up over time.

Two issues...
 - There doesn't seem to be an easy way to look at one's own profile page.  The old site had a "My Profile" button on the left side of the home page along with all the other buttons that were there.  This site doesn't have that and it's not listed under the account menu at the top left. The only way I've found to look at this page is to look yourself up under the member list and click on your name or to find a post you've made in the forum and click on your name there.

- There seems to be no way to look at feedback, either your own or anyone else's.  There was a "View feedback" link on the profile page at the old site but there isn't one here.  And I don't see it anywhere else, either. 

It's late and I'm tired, which probably means I'm just blind and can't see this stuff.  I hope so and thanks in advance to anyone who can point out where these two things are at.

I wonder if the issue is with my internet provider. I always use incognito or Firefox with the settings to clear everything when I close out. I get a notice that the site certificate and something don't match and it's considered unsafe.

I sent a request to my provider to deem the site safe, but who knows if/when that'll happen. I'll see if I can get some screenshots to you.

So for seeing your profile, click the dropdown with your name at the top left.  From there you'll see an option for "Profile Details".  That will bring up the form to edit your profile.  To see your full profile, click on the "Profile Info" tab.

For the Trades Feedback, I added it to the same Account menu popup in the top left.  You'll also see it listed as a menu option when you are in your Profile.

Good suggestion to make that Trader access easier.  Hopefully that helps.

WooHoo, I can finally get on here!! I was in the middle of sending out TFT stuff, and it went down on me with a 404 message. Glad it is fixed now!

Great Job Paul!
