In both the SF1 and SF2 sections of our site we have compiled knowledge base articles to help you do exactly that. I would start by digging in there, experimenting, and then start asking specific questions if you have them. The guys here don't mind helping but they will want you to dig in a little first. Start small like making a skin and your knowledge will grow as you do more and more. Welcome and we hope to see you around.

Good to see you guys!

I don't know. That would be a question for Mike. He has account here and simHQ under the same username.

Mike wants to keep the content offline and he'll send files to people that request them. We are going to respect his wishes and wish him well. If things change in the future we'll be here.

Your account should be all set, looks like the old subscription platform was causing issues with the new one. Let me know if that fixed it. Erik

Let me have a peak, lots of changes going on around here so something could be screwed up, which is my standard MO these days. I hope you are well too and staying safe in all this craziness. Thanks for checking in and I'll get right back to you on this. E

@GKABS I found a new loading sound for you.

Of course not, I would take a dozen files at a time and we'll work on this as we can. It's been broken for a decade, I don't think we're in any hurry. It's more a passion than necessity, at this point, and any help I get I am greatly appreciative of. In the meantime I'm searching old backups to see if any of the files can be recovered from data I don't know I have. After we moved this time and it broke our backup system I built a new one. We backup "soup to nuts", literally everything, nightly to the local /backup drive and remotely to a machine off site. Data loss isn't part of our vocabulary anymore even though the first ever event I experienced was not my fault nor could I have prevented it. Heck, if all else fails around here I build a GUI for our backup system and we go into business.

All this positivity makes me feel optimistic.

Welcome

Who wants to help me resurrect the screenshots we lost back in 2009 when the data center moved our /storage drive to a new machine and wiped it clean on install. That's downloads that show with no images need to be restored and there's only way to do it. Download each file that is missing images, open it, take new screenshots, then edit the file and put the new screenshots into place. I may be willing to bribe one or two people to help me.

I fixed a bunch of little stuff today, images and colors on various themes, the downloads files feed on the right column of the forum where the images weren't clickable (been bugging me for ages), and redid our subscription images because they had a white border which looked funny on the darker themes. Work continues.

Way to pay attention. I thought for sure it would take a week for anyone to notice but 1.5 days, not bad.

Use your Admin tools and select the three dots on those posts to edit them. Use the format remover by highlighting the offending text and pressing the Tx button on the editor to remove formatting. I fixed that one but if you find more than ones or twos I'll have to do a mass database edit.

Some of the admins are a little more OCD than I am, which is hard to aspire to and very praise-worthy.
