Within the next week or two I may be upgrading this site to SMF 2.1.2.

Well! What cha waiting for.

Well, I've been busy with themes that are kicking my butt in. LOL I think the problem was with the keyboard I was using. Sometimes, I'd see letters and numbers that I didn't type and think there's something wrong with the copy and paste keys. So, yesterday I switched keyboards to see if things will work better.

Then there's a learning curve for me with the themes and making them play nice for me. LOL

So did the other key board work for you. I have had that, either bad key board or needs batteries. I don't know ho you can do those skins, never works for me when trying to make changes.

Lots of your mod.'s are no good after the upgrade.

Stop in to Chen's your arcade is way outdated.

The keyboard I'm using now works just fine. It wasn't the batteries cause it was a rechargeable kb...I had to plug it in to recharge it if it got low. But it was acting up when fully charged and I don't know why.

Yeah, I'm aware of the mod issues. I always see what needs to be upgraded long before then. Basically, I need the downloads, TP and arcade. I'm not worried about the rest.

I am already there and just installed a new test site for the latest beta and looking it over right now.

Suppose to be changes to the arcade coming soon. Needs to make it competitive like the others

Personally, I think some good marketing may help.

Good marketing, but he needs to have one for competitive gaming, which he can ask for a price, and one for general forum gaming.

I have been asking Chen for at least 2 years, to do this. If he does do this, and I am still around, I'll drop IPS like a hot potato. IPS is way to costly to maintain, my license is already due 100.00, like every 6 months, I have 3 mod's that need to be updated, again you have to pay to renewal the mod. like every 6 months.. I am behind in forum software upgrades, I attempted last year to upgrade, but I have a few screw ups in the files, that shut the forum down, when upgrading, so I just leave the old version in.
IPS only has email support, or you ask on the Community Forum for help. I think IPS let most of the Staff go, I see some guys that were Staff are no longer working for IPS.

That's how a lot of paid software do it. I use Virtualizor for the dedicated server software and just started using ClientExec for billing and both do the same. I'm used to it. LOL

Use to be they'd come right into the cPanel or forum database and make repairs. Not anymore unless you pay them.

Skhilled · August 23, 2022, 10:47:15 AM

Yup! Some still do. If I really have issues with my Virtualizor they will come and fix it for me. They do have good support but only if you really need it. Some others will do the same but as I've said if you only really need it. You've got to make a good effort to fix it first, tho.

Skhilled · September 07, 2022, 08:37:36 AM

Here's the test site.

Ronald · October 13, 2022, 12:22:02 PM

Must have fixed something? signed in no problems.

Skhilled · October 13, 2022, 09:19:07 PM

LOL, haven't done anything to it. Been too busy looking for a new job.

I may turn this into a WP testing site. There's been a number of people asking me via the hosting if I can make WP sites for them. So, I may spend some time getting used to it to make some extra cash and maybe gain some new customers.

Skhilled · October 15, 2022, 01:57:29 AM

I've decided to use skhilled.com for the WP testing since I'm not using it atm. Besides, this site already has quite a few test sites. lol
