Three Issues with DBSTalk

[Nick]

1. My custom user title was mysteriously reverted back to "Hall of Fame" and I can't change it. What happened?

2. I miss the jump list on the main page. Please put it back.

3. What happened to the weather feature on the main page? I used it a lot.

1) Don't know what happened but you should be able to change it now.

2) Scott said he'll look into putting it back :)

3) The weather hack was server intence and sometimes didn't work properly so it was removed.

Hey Nick!

1) I don't know what happened there. :)

2) I am trying to put it back in but its not working. I will have to really sit down and figure how to get it back in. (I used it a lot too and now I miss it.

3) The weather was slowing down the front page greatly (especiallty if it could not retrieve the weather for your area) so I removed it from the homepage.

You can still get your weather from http://www.dbstalk.com/weather.php
I will put a link on Monday to the weather.

Sorry its been a hectic few days around here I have not been around too much.

I'd like to say I like not having the weather on the front page. It never worked right for me and it always took so long to load. I almost never visited the page because of it.

[Jacob S]

It probably switched back to Hall of Fame due to the forums going down that one day.

[Chris Blount]

The weather is definitely not returning to the front page. It was too much of a problem

[Nick]

Yeah, well, I can get weather from many other places. It was just so darn handy. And, James F, I don't give a rip if you don't like the weather, I do and that's what counts. As I always like to say... "Bad weather is better than no weather at all!" :D

Now, what about my 'Custom User Text' option? Several attempts to change yesterday and today and new text still doesn't take. What gives? Did my subscription expire? :)

[Steve Mehs]

Nick try changing your title again.

Nick,

I've been working on this. It seems that there is a glitch in your account that won't allow you the option to change your own user title. Everyone else's accounts with over 1500 messages seem to be working fine.

I will continue to work on this but in the meantime we can change your usertitle manually if you like.

[Chris Blount]

Nick,

Just to keep you updated. I've been asking around to see if anyone else is having this problem. A few other VB forums have seen this but they said it disappeared when they upgrade the VB software.

So, I guess we are stuck until we upgrade the forum software which should be soon. Hang in there buddy.
