Well folks we finally made it here.  It's been a long road of development and testing over several years - with many starts and stops as life kept getting in the way.  We should now see a more modern, stable and better performing site along with all the latest security enhancements, including the long awaited HTTPS security.  This also moves us to a more modern, supportable, and extensible technology stack, which could lead to more new functionality being added easier and quicker.

Play around with it and get used to the new bells and whistles that come with it.  Try out the new @mentions available in posts now for alerting specific users.  If you come across any issues, please let me know.

Otherwise, enjoy!

Hey, looks like we made it to the other side!  Layout seems to be intuitive and the site looks crisp.  Great job Paul!

Issue: While I was poking around, I deleted a cigar from my Wish List humidor, and while it deleted the cigar, it also kicked me out of my humidor.  I re-entered and deleted a second cigar with the same result.

Getting a "Database error" when trying to upload a picture to my gallery.  Same error when uploading the full size pic or after reducing it to the previous limit of 100 kb from the old site.

New site looks great, and definitely noticed the uptick in speed of loading as well. :dancing:

Hi @tuck0411.  I saw it come through.  The new system sends me alerts when errors happen - another nice benefit.  The one you were getting had to do with the size of the title being too large.  I changed the form so that it limits the size to match the DB.  So you should be good now.  Please let me know.

Another potential issue - under the "Cigars" menu when I click on the admin option "Unapproved photos" and view the results, then click on "Unapproved cigars", I get an error - "Your last search was less than 5 seconds ago. Please try again later." I don't want to try again later. I want to see the results now.  Why would it want me to wait until later?

Made a change.  See if it fixes it.

Love the new look and the menus, etc.  I'm feeling stupid here but I can't find my PM inbox, etc.?

Glad you like it!  The PM box is pinned to the very top.

Emails are not being sent by the system when a PM is received.  There are two settings for getting emails in this case - one for when a new PM is received and one for when a reply is received to a previously sent PM.  I have both boxes checked in my account settings and recently received a reply to a PM I had sent to another member but no email was received for this. It's possible this is working for when a new PM is received but I haven't personally hit this test case yet.

I seem to be getting emails both ways now.  It does seem like they might not be immediate.  Maybe the system queues them up and send them all at once every now and then.  also, did you check your spam folder.  I'm hoping with the new dedicated server and IP address we get less spam designations.

     Well it looks nice Paul, a real step up. Well done and thanks. :bigthumbs:
I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

I thought the site was still down...the wildcard isn't in place for the domain name. Basically, going to cigargeeks.com won't resolve.  www.cigargeeks.com will.  Quick fix I am sure.

Great site!! Thank you for providing it.

Hey Paul,  will it be easier to post pictures on here now?

Man that sounds like a loaded question, Bob.  Not sure what pictures you might have in mind.  Should be easier.  Git it a try.
