Website Makeover & Forum Down Time

We're working on a new look for LynnBlakeGolf.com, as well as upgrading all the underlying technical "stuff" to support our continued growth. If everything goes as planned, we'd like to try and make a switch in the next day or two. This means that the current site will be down for a couple of hours. When we're ready to make the switch, I'll post an update with the details around the down time.

This update will be the first of several exciting website changes that will help better serve our expanding audience!

If Bucket gets his own room again, could you tell him to keep it clean.

Thanks

I can tell him but can't make any promises about him changing his ways.

It took me hours to photoshop him into a clean-cut accountant type in the photos from Brian Gay's party!

Bucket bears a strong resemblance to Top Flite's D2 man....coincidence or true identity?

Thats very Kind of you. He owes you.

There needs to be a New Rule at LBG events. Pictures must be taken before the Party begins.

I don't like change.

Thats great, I hope it won't change too much and will still be the home that us regulars love.

The channel on Youtube was a great idea.

I'm embedding LBG videos on the different forums I go on. Great stuff!

Hey, I don't like Flash. You can't rewind, pause, enlarge, slow-mo, increase brightness/contrast, gamma correct, etc.

I'll have to do a search for them, but there were some Barclay's youtube clips from 2008 that can be added to that channel.

I need the Archives. I need opinions, thoughts and questions. I need to hear people thinking out loud, exchanging ideas, and seeing those ideas progress. Besides, I can't answer most of my own questions.

I'll try it. Are you keeping the same Forum Names?

For now, nothing about the forum is changing other than the look and feel.

I know a thing about "looks", ie. color, Banners, etc. But what is feel?

Im trying to log onto daryl.com but its down. The admin says it'll be back up when daryl stops replying to his own posts. Might take a while. He's also in a bidding war with himself over a genuine, mint condition seventh edition, some high lighter marks.

Go Daryl.

Go Daryl.

I’m responding to each individual thread.


Hmm? the only bidding war I'll be in is with you over a "Third Edition" when one becomes available. I have the others.

What browser are you using? There were some reports of this problem early on, but by all accounts except yours, it's been fixed.

Some screen resolutions and font size changes can make that happen. Have you adjusted your default font sizes?

Try changing your resolution for a test, over to something like 1024x768 and see if the issue is still there.

The layout and font sizes for the forum are fixed, so the browser font size control shouldn't change the text size, and even if he's using a lower resolution screen, he should have horizontal scroll bars to access the full text.

I figured he was talking about the issue we were having early on where the text on the right was being cut off with no scroll bars or way to access that text.
