On a new server - Scott - 10-02-2022

All,
Our previous service provider went down for a couple days and stopped responding to us and then magically everything was fine.  That makes me a bit uneasy, so I've migrated everything to a more reputable server provider (Oracle) and have done some pretty big updates to the forum.  If you see things that are broken, give me a heads-up below.  Essentially, virtually all of our support software was out of date by nearly a decade, so updating to newer stuff may have unintentionally broke some things.    

Also, any new posts in the last 18 hours or so may have been lost, so be aware of that when you can't find what you're looking for.

Things I already know are broken and not worth fixing:

Glad to see the site is back, especially on a new server with some software upgrades!

However, it seems some photos or attachments are not showing up:

Thanks, I'll take a look at the pictures.  Maybe a couple didn't make the transfer.

How about making the site/forum to be mobile friendly?  Viewing this site on a mobile device is frustrating.  Most sites today will recognize when a visitor is on a mobile device and format the pages properly.  Everything looks great on a desktop computer with a 24" monitor, but is borderline unreadable on a 5" smartphone screen.

 I agree with Bob. But this may take some effort.

 The forum attachment file size limit seems to have reverted back to the previous 2.1MB size limit.

Fixed attachment sizes.

There's a baby chance I can find a new template/theme that is mobile friendly, so it'll look a bit different for everyone.  Unfortunately, myBB was never made to work on mobile well.

It looks like it may have just been a formatting error with goofy codes in the original post.  There is a chance we lost a couple with the database acting odd, but everything else seems in place... Do you see any other posts with missing images?

New theme is up, it should be more conducive to mobile use, let me know how it looks.  If you can't stand it, it can be changed @ https://newellgurus.com/usercp.php?action=options under "Board Style".  Change "Use Default" to "Default"

RE: On a new server - kaptain - 10-02-2022

New theme looks better. But I noticed one drawback. When you view a thread with multiple attachment of images, the old theme allows you to browse photos by clicking the arrow at the bottom, with the new theme, no such option is available, you have to back page, load again the browser page then click to view an new image, the difference is 1 click vs 2 clicks plus page loading wait time.
