    Hello all, just a quick summary of the updates being done at MDS.

    1) We updated VBulletin to latest 3.8 version. No future plans to leave the 3 version to 4 or 5. The update was for security reasons and to fix some back-end database issues.
    2) We will install a plugin to try and reduce spam accounts.
    3) Update Tapatalk plugin
    4) Make sure Mobile Design working properly.
    5) Fix an image sizing issue.
    6) The favicon logo at the top will be uploaded within 24 hours.

    That's really it other then some tiny tweaks, etc. All systems seem to be running well here :)

    Kev, that's awesome.

    Two things:

    1) could we get a certificate issued to the site for those who would like to use https? That's been borked for a long time because of an expired cert.

    2) I have a fair amount of experience with very large vBul forums. If you want to talk spam elimination, I'm willing to offer an idea or two.

    Just a suggestion/some feedback: next time something that could affect connectability is going to be done you may want to do a message at the top of the forum a couple days in advance (did not see one for this last update). May also want to try time it for first thing in the am (if your schedule allows obv). The prime time for this forum seems to be 5-10pm.

    FYI as far as the login, clear Cookies, there as an old problem with how the url was setup and it had to change. I kept logging in to the admin area, it accepts the password and just went back to the login. clearing cookies fixed it. FYI if anyone is still having issues.

    Cool, this fixed my Chrome browser issue on a Mac. Norton had another suggestion that seemed to clear a similar issue on Safari (logging in via a specific page), but I'm guessing your fix above will be a general panacea to those experiencing similar problems.

    Not a clue in hell regarding what you just said but.......

    Thanks!

    :lol::lol2::lol2: I know exactly what you mean, Duke!!!!!!!!

    Here's how I interpreted it:


    1) We put Lyman's #49 manual in the box.
    2) We will double the voltage using a bigger outlet to plug into.
    3) The wobblin' pin has been tightened.
    4) We bought 5 lbs of Win 231.
    5) Got a bigger window in the reloading room
    6) We have a new sign above the reloading room.


    Other than that............ I got nuthin'.

    Is it me or did a few things change recently? Looks like the over all view has changed some, larger/more space between threads and now I'm noticing as you scroll down a page there's a little black arrow in the bottom left corner that will scroll you back to the top.
