Is everyone missing the OSG menu bar?

Post by brucer » Sat Sep 30, 2017 2:03 pm

I can't seem to find the "new posts" button. Is this a temporary thing due to the server transfer?

It seems it is part of the search functionality which has been temporarily disabled. Unfortunately, the search index was over half of the sites mysql database and the db was so large that I've been having trouble importing it on the new server. So I had to do something to get the size down while I migrate us elsewhere and deleting the search index and disabling the function temporarily made the most sense. Sorry for the inconvenience but it will be back eventually.

Define "eventually"... It's SO hard to navigate this place with no search feature.

Everything is fine for me & the site looks much brighter & modern.

I know from personal experience with a car club that I help to run, how difficult it can be to migrate a forum from one platform to another, & also retain everything that was on the forum before the transfer.

It's been done much quicker here than we managed - well done to all involved.

I also know that such a forum etc is not run without incurring some expense, & as a regular user I would be happy to make a contribution (as I have offered before)

Thanks - Dave M.

I've been away from the site for a while but I dig the way it is looking now. Clean and bright. I'm sure once all the kinks get worked out that it will be super smooth.
