Thread: Site changes

Tweet

Glen-to answer you about versions of computers out there logging on to this site.Aside from wanting to get back to being able again to up load pictures,this site is a primary reason why I spent money to replace a XP that wasn't repairable with another one that is about my budget for a computer.

My thought is when you look at the type of projects going on here,I know about my budget doesn't allow for the best or next to newest computer and progress on my project too.I don't think there are very many people here that are that wealthy.I could ask my partner from our race operations budget that I need a better computer and justifiably he would want me to explain how "I" am going to afford that.

I suggest you have to try to service the type of membership that makes this site so great.I said I was a Admin on another site that used VBulletin.(excuse the spelling).I was mainly involved in membership relations,but did deal in some computer functions.I agree the vbulletin is one of the fastest growing,but I respectfully disagree that it is cutting edge.The site I server on is owned by a huge conglomerate that owns about 75 sites this size or bigger and had a whole section to deal with maintenance and updates that was really having a hard time keeping up with the issues from vbulletin.They where just plagued with problems no matter what they did and are staffed by some of the best and brightest.

I started this thread with that knowledge in hand.I hope that Brent and Bill will come to the stable solutions(who BTW in my mind are just as much family to this site as all the other members that I consider as family) for the betterment for all.I want Brent to be able to find the time to post threads himself over always having to fix something here.Having to deal with that all the time is a real pita after a long period of time.

So one more time.Brent/Bill I think I know first hand the amount time you are putting in and I appreciate very much.It is a thankless job.I am posting this thread solely in support of having you consider something that would make your job easier.And if that means you having to make a move to something else,so be it.

Respectfully,

Gary

I didn't say it was "cutting edge", rather that it's widely used and has a lot of support. You and I are totally in agreement Gary - I was attempting to explain the complexities and underscore that there's no quick or easy fix due to the ever present gap in platforms used to access the site. Unfortunately, cyberspace is ruled by techno-geeks who have no concept of what "Joe Average" uses for a PC.

I too appreciate Brent and Bill and really enjoy this site - in spite of the quirks.

Regards All,
Glenn
