Failed site upgrade 07/20/2024



k.i.s.s.

This site for the most part works.

Sure we have a few fiddly annoying bits, (search leaves lots to be desired), and a few others.

To change it for the 'look' is not for me.

on the subject of the search facility......an improvement there could save a lot of work on the part of the members here.....yeah I know a lot of people will not use the search...they prefer to be spoon fed./.....But it still makes a great deal of sense to have a search facility that is outstanding, not just run of the mill below average.
I believe it would also bring people back to this site
 
while not knowing what powers this site atm, discourse is not FOSS, and hence -1 from my side for that.

I kinda like the current page. There seem to be some issues with spam, which you guys seem to deal with pretty well. Idk how much effort that is though ofc.
I hang out here so much as well because I like the interface. I pretty much only use the "new posts" functionality and the chat sometimes.

As I'm already here, here's my wishlist:

  • dark mode
  • AI bot to answer simple questions
  • a way to spend credits maybe, but idk. Totally unimportant. Maybe something where I can "give credits" to sbd for answering well or starting a cool thread
 
Just pretend that the forum went out with friends last night and drank too much and can't remember anything after midnight.

Are we talking about the website here, or you on a Saturday night, Rob?

;)

One of the Linux Mints in my stable I use for testing, and it has 5 - 6 browsers on it. I will use it to check out Discourse sites and return here.

I'm surprised you all have stuck to Linux for so long and haven't moved to BSD since BSD changes a lot less compared to Linux when it comes to do how they do things. I guess my days are numbered here since almost no one here likes change. I guess this is goodbye?
 
I destroyed the site at 8am.
Not for me, it was midday here, so it hade more effect on what I was doing,..never mind as they say you have to break an egg to make an omelette
