John Barresi Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 Greetings, Welcome to the new, upgraded KL Forum... You will find it to be 100% stable and funtioning properly now. There are a few features (not many) that have not been carried over, but we think you'll find this to be an improvement overall as no one was able to sign up or view the old forum at times. The old forum will be up for original members to browse through the first couple weeks in February, then we'll be deleting it from the server to conserve space... We debated for a long time on whether or not to make the move, as there was no way for us to move the old postings with it. Your can find the old forum here, but some people may not be able to get in: http://www.kitelife.com/portal Please take the time to update your Profile Info, which can be found by clicking My Controls in the upper left corner of your forum window... Your real name is only visible to forum admin, so rest easy. Tell your friends... We're back up and running! Quote
Progcraft Posted January 29, 2004 Report Posted January 29, 2004 G'day. Now we just need to re-populate the forums and get this thing going again!!! That's a lot of work you just did John. Thanks!!! P. 1 Quote
John Barresi Posted January 29, 2004 Author Report Posted January 29, 2004 Hey, a lot of work... But as close as I could practically get to a clean transition. I went out of my way to ensure each person was re-registered in the proper order/seniority and that Kitelife Subscribers were acknowledged as always. I have a few items on the prize shelf for the next few months... Authentic Indian Fighters w/ traditional Manja and cotton line both included! 2003 AKA Grand Nationals DVD (review in issue 34) Sedgwick Series Revolution I w/handles With us announcing the foil and board winner around the 7th, I imagine we'll announce the next one of these prizes within the week following. In addition to the exciting coverage from Ahmedabad India which will be in issue 34, I will also be attending an international kite festival in Johor Malaysia, not far from Singapore... This next trip has me out of town 2/16 and returning 2/25. I'll be sure to take tons of pics and some more video. Info - http://www.pgkitefest.com/ Quote
Progcraft Posted January 29, 2004 Report Posted January 29, 2004 Info - http://www.pgkitefest.com/ Wow. Even Kite Festivals have to resort to porn pop-up ads now eh. Sheesh. Quote
John Barresi Posted January 29, 2004 Author Report Posted January 29, 2004 Well, just to stir the pot... I've noted there are some events (even worldwide) that have a distinctly kite feel to them, and others that have a glossier, less earthy. While not commenting on that site in particular, I've observed pop ups to be an easy short cut and an obvious sign you're not spending time tilling the soil, so to speak. Anyways... You'll never see pop ups on Kitelife unless it's an article, pic, pdf, etc. Gaw... Back to it now... I tell you, the work never ends... LOL Quote

Kouri1977 Posted January 30, 2004 Report Posted January 30, 2004 Thanks for sorting out the problems. I imagine doing all that was a real headache. Thanks. Quote
Progcraft Posted January 30, 2004 Report Posted January 30, 2004 Hey John I'm noticing that posts are always staying in the 'unread' state. Even after I've read 'em, logged out, then logged back in. Likely a bug. P. Quote
John Barresi Posted January 30, 2004 Author Report Posted January 30, 2004 I'm noticing that posts are always staying in the 'unread' state. Even after I've read 'em, logged out, then logged back in. Likely a bug. I know you can click on "Mark as Read" from your new posts view, as well as within each topic or posting, that resets it for me... At this point I 'd like to think that "Unread" will age off within 12/24 hours, but we'll see. Please continue to share your experiences with the new forum. Quote
boomertype Posted January 31, 2004 Report Posted January 31, 2004 Glad to see we're up and running again. Quote
boomertype Posted January 31, 2004 Report Posted January 31, 2004 BUT.... I dont wanna be named "Newbie!" Then be a subscriber! Quote
John Barresi Posted February 1, 2004 Author Report Posted February 1, 2004 Well, matter of fact... After 10 posts you become a "member". However, becoming a subscriber does boost what we do here at Kitelife... We take a lot of pride in the way we grow and evolve with our content, thus our chosen logo. Quote
John Barresi Posted February 1, 2004 Author Report Posted February 1, 2004 I'm noticing that posts are always staying in the 'unread' state. Even after I've read 'em, logged out, then logged back in. Likely a bug. 9:53am... My "Unread Posts" have just reset from yesterday, while I was updating my Avatar... I didn't mark anything read, but had read all the posts listed. I am checking with Invision support to verify and pre-empt any problems that could arise, same with the Avatar upload... I know it gives some trouble except when using a referring URL, until it is remedied please feel free to email me with your avatars and I'll add them manually. Quote
