Forum issues: word from TGR HQ

I think it is mostly not "traffic is down because the site is hard to use" so much as it is "I can't access the site, it looks down, it looks gone, I can't login, so I'm going elsewhere" [pick one]. Everyone currently here has either gotten lucky or has been told elsewhere how to make the current shitshow work. But if you're not a member of the FB group and you go to your usual links, here's what happens: the link like this https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/forumdisplay.php/3/ gives you a 404 page, but a specialized TGR 404 page. So, hey, you think, there's a link to "forums" up there, lemme click that. And because you use TGR Blue and clicked a link that goes to the "main forum page", it goes white/blank. Most people walk away at that point, right?

yeah actualy I have been logged in forever but one morning there was the white screen so I check ever day to see if somthing new has happened but if I cant see anything it just look FUBARED

until I got in it some other way I think it was when googling TGR I clicked on a different link than the main forum list

I was never any good at driving computers but still it was important to never show fear and somehow get the box running

For me, the barometer of whether this site is even remotely useable is the apostrophe. If it ain't working it irritates me to the point of really not wanting to bother. and it still ain't working.
edit - Holy shit, the apostrophe worked TWICE. Praise Allah!
edit 2 - Yeah, nah, yeah. It's not working

I’m mostly disappointed AlpineGreg hasn’t extended a new invitation to join his site

Greg prolly can not figure out how to get in

Not sure where you get base level functionality from B Mills as it is not anywhere close for me. I cannot use my PC to access the site. To log in I have to quote someone, in this case you. This site is complete dog shit in my opinion, but hey I love dogs, so I keep coming back hoping that sparky's massive case of diarrhea has resolved itself.

The varying levels of functionality users experience seems to vary considerably. On the positive at least the software isn’t stalking and timing out anymore. The broken links from Google, Tapatalk, and the iOS app and the white screen blipping seem to be the biggest hurdles. Plus not being able to post pics of your GFs

I wonder how many will start posting eleseqhere and never get around to coming back

A lot depends on how smoothly and seamlessly the new forum switch over occurs. If it stumbles badly ......

I mean, the forum is working correctly (in a basic form) on desktop now for me. It did require the login workaround via the reply-to-comment approach, and I did have to use the workaround to avoid the forum going white blank (RIP TGR blue setting). I can reply and stuff, but without photo uploading or a reliable mobile option nobody can share the stoke. Keeping hopes up, since the turn will be upon us soon!

<p>
There is no TGR elsewhere There are only scattered bits and pieces</p>

As someone who tried all the tricks and reply to thread hacks and whatever on every available browser etc: Some usernames just haven't been migrated or got "lost" or something. I know I'm not the only one. There are MANY longtime posters who cannot get into the boards anymore and it's not because they don't know how to do the right "tricks" to login.

SO. There has been talk for quite some time now about starting our own board. Where is the best site to host a forum these days?

I had to go find out for myself. Yup, blue and white is definitely broken. Wild. It is possible to get back to black and white.

Blue is only broken for the main forum page, it works fine for individual forums and threads.

My experience says otherwise.

I know a shiny new forum is right around the corner, but the way all the site down time and broken functionality drove off the community that was so strong for decades is way more severe than I could ever have thought.

Just now is the first time since sometime in July I was able to login on the app, weird to see people have been posting for weeks and I couldn’t login.

Crazy sunset tonight.

Desktop, Mobile, and Tapatalk no go for more than a bit of time for me.

Are we on the new platform or floating along in our multi-patched intertubes?
