Issues with the forum?
« on: March 13, 2016, 17:51:47 pm »
Am I the only one seeing issues with the forum? All or the buttons and inputs are missing their labels.  It looks like we might be missing, or have a corrupt language file based on some googling.

I'm also experiencing issues (don't see the buttons to logoff...).  I'm using Safari 9.0.3. on my Macbook Pro :)

Captain Rick. Are you using a custom theme for your login? I'm wondering if the main theme is broken?

Same thing here. Been that way for a couple of months. Even the buttons to submit this post are missing their labels.

sorry all. normally this thing runs on auto pilot but evidently the webhost changed some settings causing some of the images to not show. should be all fixed now.

i don't need to remind you all that this site is run by "volunteers" and sometimes us "volunteers" have other priorities. having said that, if anyone with web skills wants to "volunteer" to take over the maintenance here let me know.

requirements: html/css knowledge. mysql database script writing. the ability to comb through crappy code asking yourself how the heck this thing actually works...then rewriting it more efficiently. Parts database and boat registry built from scratch, but the forum is Simple Machines Forum with a custom template(easy to maintain except when the host makes an arbitrary change which happens about once a year.) paying for the yearly hosting which i think is about $120 per year.

We are due for a complete overhaul particularly considering this site has not had one since before facebook was even invented.

PM me if you want a challenge.

Pete was the original brainchild of this site and i took over the website in the early days i think about 2004 or 5 when we realized that while pete can build a rocket to the moon out of tin foil, perfect pass, and a battery isolator, he was bad at doing websites.

Now i have to go wash my boat and get on the water this weekend.

Thanks for you help Lesman and Pete for keeping the site up. We all really appreciate the hard work and understand that things come up.

I would be willing to pitch in for the yearly fee, as well as extra for the 'volunteers' who help out.

Hey that original site from 01 was a masterpiece. Got it running with no knowledge at all. Easy.

Got you Les;)

I've confirmed this as well. Let me take a look. This should be provided by the forum software but wondering if something is broken

Don't have a root cause for the captcha image yet but the audio captcha does work, though the link on the pop up page is hard tonread, it's atleast a work-around until I can figure out why the forum software is sending back corrupted images.
