You mean these? I see them on all skins so maybe it's just a cache issue. I didn't get through with the primary skin until early this morning, fixing it's wobbles and what not, so maybe that's it. I should have the other skins done sometime today, tho they are less used so probably not a big impact. For my personal browsers I set them to flush the cache each time I close the browser. With today's internet speeds having a cache on your computer almost isn't needed, unless of course your wife like snooping on your cached porn, IDK it happens.

I checked this on my son's iPod runing IOS 6.1.3 and I don't see the problem there either. Did it somehow fix itself and are you still seeing it?

I'm not sure I answered this although it's been resolved for awhile. Next to your forum display name, top right corner of all pages, click the drop down arrow there to show a menu. On this menu you will find the link you need. Sorry for the delayed response.

BTW the bug with the unrecognized characters not being searched correctly is fixed. I am still working on why the search results aren't the most relative. - solution pending I think I can also be working on a re-organization of the SF2 section at the same time, who's helping?

There was a problem with the way the "minus sign" ( - ) was being read into the query, it was for all purposes unrecognized. That has been fixed and I am still working with the developers to fix or make the local searches more relevant. Until I'm satisfied with the local indexing of our site material (read: search results) I have implemented an internal way to use Google which is now part of the search box above. I'll keep working on this until it's working as intended. - work in progress

Ok, I will see if I can track down an device running IOS 6.1.3, the one IOS device I have access to is already running 6.1.4 and I don't see the problem. I will keep this on my desk. Thanks.

Can't duplicate ... might be your browser on your phone. Google Chrome for Mobile work's very well and IOS has it's own skin.

I've finished with the upgrades, and even added some additional search support, while still not perfect it's getting closer. Hope that's an agreeable statement. I think it's time to start working on the SF2 Downloads. Who has the new directory format ready to go for me so I can get it implemented?

The last bug on my list I just got done taking out, so the migration to the new software is complete and all these issues should be resolved. If they are not, first remove your browser cache, restart your browser, reload the site. Your machine may have cached old files and this will resolve that. If you still have an issue, please report them here. Thank you. Oh and enjoy your new digs, this place has lots of cool functioning stuff. :)

Seems like a yearly process that we go through to keep up with new technology, computers, and operating systems. This year is no different. Starting next week, maybe sooner I will need to upgrade the software that runs our site. While not a big deal it is a time consuming one. You will see the site in varying states of development over the next couple of weeks or so. I'll try to keep the downtime to a minimum but as you all know sometimes stuff happens. There are too many fixes and changes to list but all in all it stands to be a great new platform for us. As always if you see something broke or not working, list it here and I'll get to it as soon as I possibly can. Thank you.

Cranky is how most people get after using our FUBAR search feature, I understand. No offense taken.

We are officially upgraded. Downtime minimal, problems minimal. All is good. Let me know if you spot anything. E

Relax, I'm not trying to shuffle anything under the rug or claim something is fixed when it isn't. I'm speaking from what I know and what should be as opposed to what results are being returned. I AGREE there is a problem and I will continue to work on it. If you're at all curious why I made the statement I did yesterday you can research http://sphinxsearch.com and see how operators are supposed to be handled. Otherwise this is a work in progress until it gets fixed. Crap on a cracker.

Refresh your pages, clear your cache, the problem should be resolved on all browsers.

I hear you guys and I am willing to do whatever it takes to put the SF2 stuff into some type of organizational state but I can't do it alone. So I would need someone like Dave to do all the moving etc. I can create the structure if I have one to create and I can make sure everything is working prior to moving anything but that would be my limit right now. I have some immediate things to handle concerning the boards which is to get them upgraded and return our functionality to those that use Microsoft products, (Internet Explorer 10, Hotmail, etc) After that I would be down for putting some time into the download section organizational issues. As for the search engine, it's working as designed. For most it's knowing how to use it that makes the thing useless. This is especially true when using a dash, like appear in our model numbers (F-111, P-51) etc. Let's take a common example like I want to find all the variations of the F-35 so someone would type F-35 into the search box, right? I would it's intuitive, it's the model number. To the search engine what you just asked it was find everything that has an "F" in title/content but don't find things that have a "35" in it. (F exclude "minus sign/dash" 35) So if you want to find F-35s on our search engine you have to type in F+35 or (F+35) or F35 but not F-35. It's ass backwards but the minus sign and plus sign have a distinct function, even on Google. Here it's held to be more exact because we have less content and less fuzzy logic running the search engine. I hope that helps. Erik

The majority of this upgrade is to support Microsoft and their crap way of doing things which is conform or get bent. Trust me I'd rather have leaches in my shorts than have to upgrade all the customized portions of this site.

route repaired

The fix is in beta right now should be able to release it soon. Sorry about the hassle, but if Microsoft can break it they do. Use a different browser like Chrome or Firefox until then.

Something in your browser is weird. Solutions include: 1) shutdown and reboot. 2) close browser flush cache and reopen browser. 3) change to a different browser see if it fixes the problem. <can't duplicate problem>

Really no response? All that hard work of replying and drawing nifty images and nothing. I'm bummed. Well hope you got it solved. E

It is not necessary to remove the file completely. You can "edit" the file then remove the file and replace your uploaded file with a new one, very similar to the way it was uploaded the first time. I believe you also have the option of removing your old file or leaving a copy of it on the server. We can also hide the file until you're ready to release it. However since you seem very concerned about it I'll remove it. Thanks.

If you are using the basic uploader you will or should depending on browser get an upload indicator lower left of the screen. If you are using the advanced uploader it will appear in-line in the upload section. Use the link above to toggle between the two uploaders.

Ahhh the re-write rule wasn't working so all the dynamic links were no good. I've made some changes and resolved it. Thanks for the heads up. Erik
